+git-annex 8.20200617 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change
+     the behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip
+     over files/dirs that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in
+     the command line.
+   * annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
+     git-annex release in early 2022. If you prefer the current behavior,
+     you can explicitly set it to true.
+   * Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes
+     when git-annex auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an
+     existing repo. Previously, git-annex init had to be explicitly run to
+     enable them. Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled
+     this way, to avoid interfering with the output of git-annex query
+     commands.
+   * export: Added options for json output.
+   * import: Added --json-progress.
+   * addurl: Make --preserve-filename also apply when eg a torrent contains
+     multiple files.
+   * Fix a crash or potentially not all files being exported when
+     sync -J --content is used with an export remote.
+   * export: Let concurrent transfers be done with -J or annex.jobs.
+   * move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run
+     cleanup actions in separate job pool from uploads.
+   * init: If lock probing stalls for a long time (eg a broken NFS server),
+     display a message to let the user know what's taking so long.
+   * init: When annex.pidlock is set, skip lock probing.
+   * Fix file descriptor leak when importing from a directory special remote
+     that is configured with exporttree=yes.
+   * Note that external special remote programs should not block SIGINT or
+     SIGTERM.
+   * Avoid creating the keys database during init when there are no unlocked
+     files, to prevent init failing when sqlite does not work in the
+     filesystem.
+   * import: Avoid using some strange names for temporary keys,
+     which broke importing from a directory special remote onto a vfat
+     filesystem.
+   * S3: The REDUCED\_REDUNDANCY storage class is no longer cheaper so
+     stop documenting it, and stop offering it as a choice in the assistant.
+   * Improve display of problems auto-initializing or upgrading local git
+     remotes.
+   * When a local git remote cannot be initialized because it has no
+     git-annex branch or a .noannex file, avoid displaying a message about it.
+   * checkpresentkey: When no remote is specified, try all remotes, not
+     only ones that the location log says contain the key. This is what
+     the documentation has always said it did.
+   * Fix regression in external special remote handling: GETCONFIG did not
+     return a value that was set with SETCONFIG immediately before.
+     (Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
+   * Fix bug that made initremote of extrnal special remotes with
+     embedcreds=yes or gpg encryption not store the creds in the git-annex
+     branch. git-annex-remote-googledrive one was special remote affected by
+     this bug.
+     (Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
+   * Fix bug that made creds not be stored in git when a special remote
+     was initialized with gpg encryption, but without an explicit
+     embedcreds=yes.
+     (Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
+   * Fix a annex.pidlock issue that made eg git-annex get of an unlocked
+     file hang until the annex.pidlocktimeout and then fail."""]]
