git-annex 8.20210903 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * Deal with clock skew, both forwards and backwards, when logging
information to the git-annex branch.
* GIT\_ANNEX\_VECTOR\_CLOCK can now be set to a fixed value (eg 1)
rather than needing to be advanced each time a new change is made.
* Misuse of GIT\_ANNEX\_VECTOR\_CLOCK will no longer confuse git-annex.
* add: When adding a dotfile, avoid treating its name as an extension.
* rsync special remote: Stop displaying rsync progress, and use
git-annex's own progress display.
* Many special remotes now checksum content while it is being retrieved,
instead of in a separate pass at the end. This is supported for all
special remotes on Linux (except for bittorrent), and for many
on other OS's (except for adb, external, gcrypt, hook, and rsync).
* unused: Skip the refs/annex/last-index ref that git-annex recently
started creating.
* Fix test suite failure on Windows.
* New --batch-keys option added to these commands:
get, drop, move, copy, whereis
* Added annex.youtube-dl-command config. This can be used to run some
forks of youtube-dl.
* Run cp -a with --no-preserve=xattr, to avoid problems with copied
xattrs, including them breaking permissions setting on some NFS
servers.
* add, import: Detect when xattrs or perhaps ACLs prevent removing
write permissions from an annexed file, and fail with an informative
message.
* Fix support for readonly git remotes.
(Reversion in version 8.20210621)
* When downloading urls fail, explain which urls failed for which
reasons.
* web: Avoid displaying a warning when downloading one url failed
but another url later succeeded."""]]

git-annex 8.20211231 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * Improved support for using git-annex in a read-only repository,
git-annex branch information from remotes that cannot be merged into
the git-annex branch will now not crash it, but will be merged in
memory.
* addurl, youtube-dl: When --check-raw prevents downloading an url,
still continue with any downloads that come after it, rather than
erroring out.
* Fix locking problems when annex.pidlock is set and concurrency is
enabled eg with -J.
* Improve error message display when autoinit fails due to eg, a
permissions problem.
* export: Avoid unncessarily re-exporting non-annexed files that were
already exported.
* Improve git command queue flushing so that eg, addurl of several
large files that take time to download will update the index for each
file, rather than deferring the index updates to the end.
* sync: Better error message when unable to export to a remote because
remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is configured to a ref that does not
exist.
* Fix build with ghc 9.0.1
* Fix build with old versions of feed library."""]]
