git-annex 8.20210428 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * New annex.private and remote.name.annex-private configs that can
prevent storing information about a repository and remotes in the
git-annex branch.
* initremote: Added --private option to set up a private special remote.
* importfeed: Made "checking known urls" phase run 12 times faster.
* Added --debugfilter (and annex.debugfilter)
* diffdriver: Support unlocked files.
* forget: Preserve currently exported trees, avoiding problems with
exporttree remotes in some unusual circumstances.
* fsck: When downloading content from a remote, if the content is able
to be verified during the transfer, skip checksumming it a second time.
* directory: When cp supports reflinks, use it.
* Avoid excess commits to the git-annex branch when stall detection is
enabled.
* git-annex-config: Allow setting annex.securehashesonly, which has
otherwise been supported since 2019, but was missing from the list of
allowed repo-global configs.
* init: Fix a crash when the repo's was cloned from a repo that had an
adjusted branch checked out, and the origin remote is not named "origin".
* Fix some bugs that made git-annex not see recently recorded status
information when configured with annex.alwayscommit=false.
* When mincopies is set to a larger value than numcopies, make sure that
mincopies is satisfied. Before, it assumed a sane configuration would
have numcopies larger or equal to mincopies. It's still a good idea
not to configure git-annex this way.
* Avoid more than 1 gpg password prompt at the same time, which
could happen occasionally before when concurrency is enabled.
* Fix build with persistent-2.12.0.1"""]]

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."""]]
