git-annex 8.20200522 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix bug that made enableremote of S3 and webdav remotes, that
have embedcreds=yes, fail to set up the embedded creds, so accessing
the remotes failed. (Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '\_'.
* addurl, importfeed: Allow '-' in filenames, as long as it's not the
first character.
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but will fail if the filename has an obvious
security problem like using an escape sequence or trying to escape
the current directory.
* whereis: Added --format option.
* S3: Support signature=v4, to use S3 Signature Version 4.
Some S3 services seem to require v4, while others may only
support v2, which remains the default.
* upgrade: When upgrade fails due to an exception, display it.
* repair: Improve fetching from a remote with an url in host:path format.
* git-lfs repos that encrypt the annexed content but not the git repo
only need --force passed to initremote, allow enableremote and
autoenable of such remotes without forcing again.
* When accessing a remote fails, always display a reason why.
* Display a warning message when a remote uses a protocol, such as
git://, that git-annex does not support. Silently skipping such a
remote was confusing behavior.
* Also display a warning message when a remote, without a known uuid,
is located in a directory that does not currently exist, to avoid
silently skipping such a remote.
* sync: Avoid an ugly error message when nothing has been committed to
master yet and there is a synced master branch to merge from.
* Display a warning message when asked to operate on a file inside a
directory that's a symbolic link to elsewhere.
* Support building with tasty-1.3."""]]

git-annex 8.20200908 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added httpalso special remote, which is useful for accessing
content stored on other remotes that is published by http.
* The external special remote protocol got an ASYNC extension.
This can be used by an external special remote to let a single process
perform concurrent actions, rather than multiple processes being
started, when that is more efficient.
* Retry transfers to exporttree=yes remotes same as for other remotes.
* import: Retry downloads that fail, same as is done for downloads generally.
* Limit retrying of failed transfers when forward progress is being made
to 5, to avoid some unusual edge cases where too much retrying could
result in far more data transfer than makes sense.
* Exposed annex.forward-retry git config, to configure the forward retry
behavior that git-annex has had for a long time.
* sync, assistant, merge: When merge.directoryRenames is not set,
default it it to "false", which works better with automatic merge
conflict resolution than git's ususual default of "conflict".
(This is not done when automatic merge conflict resolution is disabled.)
* resolvemerge: Improve cleanup of cruft left in the working tree
by a conflicted merge.
* Support git remotes where .git is a file, not a directory,
eg when --separate-git-dir was used.
* Fixed several cases where files were created without file mode bits
that the umask would usually set. This included exports to the
directory special remote, torrent files used by the bittorrent special
remote, hooks written by git-annex init, and some log files in .git/annex/
* Fix reversion in 7.20190322 that made addurl --file not be honored
when youtube-dl was used to download media.
* Fix reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled
result in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to
autoinit.
* Display warning when external special remote does not start up
properly, or is not usable.
* Display a message when git-annex has to wait for a pid lock file
held by another process.
* test: Stop gpg-agent daemons that are started for the test framework's
gpg key.
* Removed the S3 and WebDAV build flags so these special remotes are
always supported.
* stack.yaml: Updated to lts-16.10."""]]
