git-annex 8.20201007 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* --json output now includes a new field "input" which is the input
value (filename, url, etc) that caused a json object to be output.
* --batch combined with -J now runs batch requests concurrently for many
commands. Before, the combination was accepted, but did not enable
concurrency. Since the output of batch requests can be in any order,
--json with the new "input" field is recommended to be used,
to determine which batch request each response corresponds to.
* aws-0.22 improved its support for setting etags, which improves
support for versioned S3 buckets.
* Serialize use of C magic library, which is not thread safe.
This fixes failures uploading to S3 when using -J.
* add, addurl, importfeed, import: Added --no-check-gitignore option
for finer grained control than using --force.
* import: Check gitignores when importing trees from special remotes.
* addunused: Don't check .gitignores when adding files.
* Improve the "Try making some of these repositories available"
message, with some hints for the user for what to do.
* Improve --debug output to show pid of processes that are started and
stopped.
* sync --all: Sped up seeking to around twice as fast, by avoiding a
pass over the worktree files when preferred content expressions of the
local repo and remotes don't use include=/exclude=.
* Sped up seeking for files to operate on, when using options like
--copies or --in, by around 20%
* import --no-content: Check annex.largefiles, and import small
files into git, the same as is done when importing with content.
If the largefiles expression needs the file content available
(due to mimetype or mimeencoding being used), the import will fail.
* sync: When run without --content, import without copying from
importtree=yes directory special remotes.
(Other special remotes may support this later as well.)
* addurl: Avoid a redundant git ignores check for speed.
* upgrade: Avoid an upgrade failure of a bare repo in unusual circumstances.
* httpalso: Support being used with special remotes that do not have
encryption= in their config.
* Parse youtube-dl progress output, which lets progress be displayed
when doing concurrent downloads.
* Fix build with Benchmark build flag.
* Enable building with git-annex benchmark by default, only turning it
off when the criterion library is not installed.
* runshell: Fix a edge case where rm errors were sent to stdout, which
could confuse things parsing git-annex output.
* runshell: Update files atomically when preparing to run git-annex.
* Fix a build failure on Windows."""]]

git-annex 8.20210127 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * Added mincopies configuration. This is like numcopies, but is
enforced even more strictly. While numcopies can be violated in
concurrent drop situations involving special remotes that do not
support locking, mincopies cannot be. The default value has always
been 1, but now it can be set to higher values if desired.
* Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0.
* Behavior change: git-annex trust now needs --force, since unconsidered
use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
* Behavior change: --trust and --trust-glacier options no longer overrides
trust, since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled
by an option other than --force.
* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
* Fix --time-limit, which got broken in several ways by some optimisations
in version 8.20201007.
* When syncing changes back from an adjusted branch to the basis branch,
include deletions of submodules.
Thanks, Kyle Meyer for the patch.
* Bug fix: export with -J could fail when two files had the same content.
* Bug fix: Fix tilde expansion in ssh urls when the tilde is the last
character in the url.
Thanks, Grond for the patch.
* Avoid crashing when there are remotes using unparseable urls.
Including the non-standard URI form that git-remote-gcrypt uses for rsync.
* Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary
hashing when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT
filesystem gets remounted.
* Fix a bug that prevented git-annex init from working in a submodule.
* Fix a bug in view filename generation when a metadata value ended with
"/" (or ":" or "\" on Windows)
* adjust: Fix some bad behavior when unlocked files use URL keys.
* smudge: Fix some bad behavior when git add is run on an unlocked
file that used an URL key.
* Added GETGITREMOTENAME to external special remote protocol.
* Windows: Work around win32 length limits when dealing with lock files."""]]
