-git-annex 8.20200908 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Added httpalso special remote, which is useful for accessing
-     content stored on other remotes that is published by http.
-   * The external special remote protocol got an ASYNC extension.
-     This can be used by an external special remote to let a single process
-     perform concurrent actions, rather than multiple processes being
-     started, when that is more efficient.
-   * Retry transfers to exporttree=yes remotes same as for other remotes.
-   * import: Retry downloads that fail, same as is done for downloads generally.
-   * Limit retrying of failed transfers when forward progress is being made
-     to 5, to avoid some unusual edge cases where too much retrying could
-     result in far more data transfer than makes sense.
-   * Exposed annex.forward-retry git config, to configure the forward retry
-     behavior that git-annex has had for a long time.
-   * sync, assistant, merge: When merge.directoryRenames is not set,
-     default it it to "false", which works better with automatic merge
-     conflict resolution than git's ususual default of "conflict".
-     (This is not done when automatic merge conflict resolution is disabled.)
-   * resolvemerge: Improve cleanup of cruft left in the working tree
-     by a conflicted merge.
-   * Support git remotes where .git is a file, not a directory,
-     eg when --separate-git-dir was used.
-   * Fixed several cases where files were created without file mode bits
-     that the umask would usually set. This included exports to the
-     directory special remote, torrent files used by the bittorrent special
-     remote, hooks written by git-annex init, and some log files in .git/annex/
-   * Fix reversion in 7.20190322 that made addurl --file not be honored
-     when youtube-dl was used to download media.
-   * Fix reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled
-     result in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to
-     autoinit.
-   * Display warning when external special remote does not start up
-     properly, or is not usable.
-   * Display a message when git-annex has to wait for a pid lock file
-     held by another process.
-   * test: Stop gpg-agent daemons that are started for the test framework's
-     gpg key.
-   * Removed the S3 and WebDAV build flags so these special remotes are
-     always supported.
-   * stack.yaml: Updated to lts-16.10."""]]

+[[!toggleable text="""  * adjust: New --unlock-present mode which locks files whose content is not
+    present (so the broken symlink is visible), while unlocking files whose
+    content is present.
+  * Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted
+    branches set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
+  * Fix hang when an external special remote program exited but
+    the stderr pipe to it was left open, due to a daemon having inherited
+    the file descriptor.
+  * Fix a bug that could make resuming a download from the web fail
+    when the entire content of the file is actually already present
+    locally.
+  * examinekey: Added a "file" format variable for consistency with find,
+    and for easier scripting.
+  * init: When writing hook scripts, set all execute bits, not only
+    the user execute bit.
+  * upgrade: Support an edge case upgrading a v5 direct mode repo
+    where nothing had ever been committed to the head branch.
+  * Made the test suite significantly less noisy, only displaying command
+    output when something failed.
+  * Fix building without the torrent library.
+    Thanks, Kyle Meyer.
+  * Fix build on Windows.
+  * Prevent windows assistant from trying (and failing) to upgrade
+    itself, which has never been supported on windows."""]]
