git-annex 7.20190615 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fixed bug that caused git-annex to fail to add a file when another
git-annex process cleaned up the temp directory it was using.
* Makefile: Added install-completions to install target.
* Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting
annex.jobs=cpus, or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
* Honor preferred content of a special remote when exporting trees to it;
unwanted files are filtered out of the tree that is exported.
* Importing from a special remote honors its preferred content too;
unwanted files are not imported. But, some preferred content
expressions can't be checked before files are imported, and trying to
import with such an expression will fail.
* Don't try to import .git directories from special remotes, because
git does not support storing git repositories inside a git repository.
* Improve shape of commit tree when importing from unversioned special
remotes.
* init: When the repository already has a description, don't change it.
* describe: When run with no description parameter it used to set
the description to "", now it will error out.
* Android: Improve installation process when the user's login shell is not
bash.
* When a remote is configured to be readonly, don't allow changing
what's exported to it.
* Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific
to the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp.
The old name for the config will still work.
* Add back support for ftp urls, which was disabled as part of the fix for
security hole CVE-2018-10857 (except for configurations which enabled curl
and bypassed public IP address restrictions). Now it will work
if allowed by annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses.
* Avoid a delay at startup when concurrency is enabled and there are
rsync or gcrypt special remotes, which was caused by git-annex
opening a ssh connection to the remote too early."""]]

News for git-annex 7.20190912:
This version of git-annex uses repository version 7 for all repositories.
Existing v5 repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
A v7 repository can can have some files locked while other files are
unlocked, and all git and git-annex commands can be used on both locked and
unlocked files. It's a good idea to make sure that all users of the
repository have upgraded git-annex and upgraded their repositories
to the new version before starting to use that feature, since old
versions of git-annex will ignore the new unlocked files.
The behavior of some commands changes in an upgraded repository:
* `git add` will add files to the annex, rather than adding them directly
to the git repository. To cause some files to be added directly
to git, you can configure `annex.largefiles`. For example:
git config annex.largefiles "largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)"
* `git annex unlock` and `git annex lock` change how the pointer to
the annexed content is stored in git. If you commit the change,
that will impact all clones of the repository.
git-annex 7.20190912 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Default to v7 for new repositories.
* Automatically upgrade v5 repositories to v7.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* Added annex.autoupgraderepository configuration that can be set to false
to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
* Refuse to upgrade direct mode repositories when git is older than 2.22,
which fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade.
* Removed support for git versions older than 2.1.
* assistant: When creating a new repository, no longer use direct
mode, instead use v7 adjusted branches with annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
* info: Removed the "repository mode" from its output (including the
--json output) since with the removal of direct mode, there is no
repository mode.
* info: When file matching options are specified when getting
info of something other than a directory, they won't have any effect,
so error out to avoid confusion.
* info: Display trust level when getting info on a uuid, same as a remote.
* When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files
in working tree.
* Avoid making a commit when upgrading from direct mode to v7.
* init: Catch more exceptions when testing locking.
* init: Fix a reversion that broke initialization on systems that
need to use pid locking.
* A git-annex-standalone rpm is now distributed along with the standalone
tarball.
* Added standalone/rpm/rpmbuild-from-standalone-tarball script."""]]
