News for git-annex 7.20200226:
There was a serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
If your remotes are affected, you will want to make sure to delete
any content that git-annex has stored on them that is not encrypted!
One way to do so is, before upgrading to this version,
run git-annex move --from the affected remotes. It will move
only the content that was not encrypted.
git-annex 7.20200226 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]

* Fix serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
If your remotes are affected, you will want to make sure to delete
any content that git-annex has stored on them that is not encrypted!
* info: Fix display of the encryption value.
(Some debugging junk had crept in.)
* Bugfix to getting content from an export remote with -J, when the
export database was not yet populated.
* Bugfix: export --tracking (a deprecated option) set
annex-annex-tracking-branch, instead of annex-tracking-branch."""]]

* 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."""]]
