git-annex 7.20191218 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* git-lfs: The url provided to initremote/enableremote will now be
stored in the git-annex branch, allowing enableremote to be used without
an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
* git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
* sync, assistant: Pull and push from git-lfs remotes.
* Fix bug that made bare repos be treated as non-bare when --git-dir
was used.
* inprogress: Support --key.
* Sped up many git-annex commands that operate on many files, by
avoiding reserialization of keys.
find is 7% faster; whereis is 3% faster; and git-annex get when
all files are already present is 5% faster
* Stop displaying rsync progress, and use git-annex's own progress display
for local-to-local repo transfers.
* benchmark: Changed --databases to take a parameter specifiying the size
of the database to benchmark.
* benchmark --databases: Display size of the populated database.
* benchmark --databases: Improve the "addAssociatedFile (new)"
benchmark to really add new values, not overwriting old values.
* Windows: Fix handling of changes to time zone. (Used to work but was
broken in version 7.20181031.)"""]]

* Optimised processing of many files, especially by commands like find
and whereis that only report on the state of the repository. Commands
like get also sped up in cases where they have to check a lot of
files but only transfer a few files. Speedups range from 30-100%.
* Added build dependency on the filepath-bytestring library.
* Fixed an oversight that had always prevented annex.resolvemerge
from being honored, when it was configured by git-annex config.
* annex.largefiles can be configured by git-annex config,
to more easily set a default that will also be used by clones,
without needing to shoehorn the expression into the gitattributes file.
The git config and gitattributes override that.
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, when you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
* git-annex-config --set/--unset: No longer change the local git config
setting, except for in the special case of annex.securehashesonly.
* Improve file ordering behavior when one parameter is "." and other
parameters are other directories.
* smudge bugfix: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already
stored in git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted
to being stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more
of a problem. This case is now detected and prevented."""]]

News for git-annex 8.20200226:
This version of git-annex uses repository version 8 for all repositories.
Existing repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
The upgrade process involves regenerating some sqlite databases. There are a
couple consequences of the upgrade to keep in mind:
* Any incremental fscks that were started in v7 won't resume where
they left off in v8, but will instead begin again from the first file.
* An interrupted export that was started in v7 won't resume where it left
off after upgrade to v8; files will be re-uploaded to the export remote.
* After the upgrade, git-annex will in some situations have to do extra
work while it finishes populating its sqlite databases.
Also, there are some behavior changes around adding dotfiles. While before
git-annex add skipped adding dotfiles when operating on whole directories,
and added dotfiles that were explicitly listed to the annex, it now adds
dotfiles to git by default, unless annex.dotfiles is set to true.

* New v8 repository version.
* v7 upgrades automatically to v8. The upgrade deletes old sqlite
databases, which may cause git-annex to need to do extra work to
regenerate the databases or due to not having the information from the
old databases available. Two notable cases are interrupted incremental
fscks and interrupted exports, both of which will restart from the
beginning.
* Improved serialization of filenames and keys to the sqlite databases,
avoiding encoding problems and speeding up operations on them.
* Add some missing indexes to sqlite databases. This will speed up
some things involving export and import remotes, and git-annex smudge.
Microbenchmarks show around 10-25% speedup of sqlite database operations.
* add: When adding a whole directory, any dotfiles found in it will
not be skipped, but will be added to git by default. This behavior
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
* add: Removed special case for explicitly passing dotfiles,
that no longer adds them to the annex, but to git. This behavior
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
* add: Removed the --include-dotfiles option.
* initremote, enableremote: Set remote.name.skipFetchAll when
the remote cannot be fetched from by git, so git fetch --all
will not try to use it.
* Fix some cases where handling of keys with extensions varied depending
on the locale.
* annex.maxextensionlength used to be the number of characters, not
bytes, when in a utf-8 locale. It's now always the number of bytes.
* Extended annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses to let specific ports
of an IP address to be used, while denying use of other ports.
* init --version: When the version given is one that automatically
upgrades to a newer version, use the newer version instead.
* Auto upgrades from older repo versions, like v5, now jump right to v8.
* Makefile: Support newer versions of cabal that use the new-build system."""]]
