git-annex 8.20200501 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Improve git-annex's ability to find the path to its program,
especially when it needs to run itself in another repo to upgrade it.
* adb: Better messages when the adb command is not installed.
* Sped up query commands that read the git-annex branch by around 9%.
* Various speed improvements gained by using ByteStrings for git refs and
shas.
* Fix a potential failure to parse git config.
* Support boolean git configs that are represented by the name of the
setting with no value, eg "core.bare" is the same as "core.bare = true".
* When parsing git configs, support all the documented ways to write
true and false, including "yes", "on", "1", etc.
* Fix --batch commands (and git-annex info) to accept absolute filenames
for unlocked files, which already worked for locked files.
* Avoid repeatedly opening keys db when accessing a local git remote
and -J is used.
* Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run
with a large -J value.
* Avoid running with more git check-attr and check-ignore processes than
there are CPU cores when run with a large -J value.
* get --from, move --from: When used with a local git remote, these used
to silently skip files that the location log thought were present on the
remote, when the remote actually no longer contained them. Since that
behavior could be surprising, now instead display a warning.
* external special remotes: remote.name.annex-readonly=true no longer
disables running the external special remote program. Instead, it just
makes the remote operate in a readonly mode, same as any remote.
To disable running the external special remote program, now need to set
remote.name.annex-externaltype=readonly. That is done when
git-annex enableremote is passed readonly=true.
* Stop storing readonly=true in remote.log of external special remotes;
it is a local setting only.
* sync: When some remotes to sync with are specified, and --fast is too,
pick the lowest cost of the specified remotes, do not sync with a
faster remote that was not specified.
* addurl: When run with --fast on an url that
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses prevents accessing, display
a more useful message.
* When the required content is set to "groupwanted", use whatever
expression has been set in groupwanted as the required content of the
repo, similar to how setting required content to "standard" already
worked.
* Avoid a test suite failure when the environment does not let gpg be
tested due to eg, too long a path to the agent socket.
* test: Include testremote tests, run on a directory special remote."""]]

git-annex 8.20200810 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added support for external backend programs. So if you want a hash
that git-annex doesn't support, or something stranger, you can write a
small program to implement it.
* Fix a bug in find --branch in the previous version.
* importfeed: Fix reversion that caused some '.' in filenames to be
replaced with '\_'
* Fix a lock file descriptor leak that could occur when running commands
like git-annex add with -J. Bug was introduced as part of a different FD
leak fix in version 6.20160318.
* Fix a hang when using git-annex with an old openssh 7.2p2, which had
some weird inheriting of ssh FDs by sshd. Bug was introduced in
git-annex version 7.20200202.7.
* move, copy --to: Sped up seeking files by 2x.
* drop: Sped up seeking files to drop by 2x, and also some performance
improvements to checking numcopies.
* Deal with unusual IFS settings in the shell scripts for linux
standalone and OSX app.
Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko
* Avoid complaining that a file with "is beyond a symbolic link"
when the filepath is absolute and the symlink in question is not
actually inside the git repository.
* Slightly sped up the linux standalone bundle.
* Support building with dlist-1.0"""]]
