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."""]]
