git-annex 8.20200309 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix bug that caused unlocked annexed dotfiles to be added to git by the
smudge filter when annex.dotfiles was not set.
* Upgrade other repos than the current one by running git-annex upgrade
inside them, which avoids problems with upgrade code making assumptions
that the cwd will be inside the repo being upgraded. In particular,
this fixes a problem where upgrading a v7 repo to v8 caused an ugly
git error message.
* Fix upgrade failure when a file has been deleted from the working tree.
* Fix regression 1 month ago that prevented external special remotes from
using GETCONFIG to query values like "name".
* Improve behavior when a directory git-annex is writing to gets
unmounted. Previously it could in some cases re-create the mount point
and directory tree, and even write object contents to the wrong disk.
* Don't ignore --debug when it is followed by -c.
* whereis: If a remote fails to report on urls where a key
is located, display a warning, rather than giving up and not displaying
any information.
* When external special remotes fail but neglect to provide an error
message, say what request failed, which is better than displaying an
empty error message to the user.
* git-annex config: Only allow configs be set that are ones git-annex
actually supports reading from repo-global config, to avoid confusion.
* Avoid converting .git file in a worktree or submodule to a symlink
when the repository is not a git-annex repository.
* Linux standalone: Use md5sum to shorten paths in .cache/git-annex/locales
* Fix build with ghc 8.8 (MonadFail)
Thanks, Peter Simons
* stack.yaml: Updated to lts-14.27."""]]

git-annex 8.20200720 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* import: Added --no-content option, which avoids downloading files
from a special remote. Currently only supported by the directory
special remote.
* Honor annex.largefiles when importing a tree from a special remote.
(Except for when --no-content is used.)
* Fix a deadlock that could occur after git-annex got an unlocked
file, causing the command to hang indefinitely. Known to happen on
vfat filesystems, possibly others.
* Build with the http-client-restricted and git-lfs libraries when
available, otherwise use the vendored copy as before.
* testremote: Fix over-allocation of resources and bad caching,
including starting up a large number of external special remote processes.
(Regression introduced in version 8.20200501)
* test: Fix some test cases that assumed git's default branch name.
* importfeed: Added some additional --template variables:
itempubyear, itempubmonth, itempubday, itempubhour,
itempubminute, itempubsecond.
* Made several special remotes support locking content on them,
which allows dropping from other special remotes in some situations
where it was not possible before. Supported special remotes:
S3 (with versioning=yes), git-lfs, tahoe
* Fix reversion that broke passing annex.* and remote.*.annex-*
git configs with -c. (Since version 8.20200330.)
* Bring back git-annex branch read cache. This speeds up some operations,
eg git-annex sync --content --all gets 20% faster.
* Fix a recently introduced bug that could cause a "fork: resource exhausted"
after getting several thousand files.
* Sped up the --all option by 2x to 16x by using git cat-file --buffer.
Thanks to Lukey for finding this optimisation.
* Sped up seeking for annexed files to operate on by a factor of nearly 2x.
* Sped up sync --content by 2x and other commands like fsck --fast and
whereis by around 50%, by using git cat-file --buffer.
* importfeed: Made checking known urls step around 15% faster.
* fsck: Detect if WORM keys contain a carriage return, and recommend
upgrading the key. (git-annex could have maybe created such keys back
in 2013).
* When on an adjust --hide-missing branch, fix handling of files that
have been deleted but the deletion is not yet staged."""]]
