git-annex 8.20201103 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* move: Improve resuming a move that was interrupted after the object
was transferred, in cases where numcopies checks prevented the resumed
move from dropping the object from the source repository.
* When a special remote has chunking enabled, but no chunk sizes are
recorded (or the recorded ones are not found), speculatively try
chunks using the configured chunk size.
* Fixed some problems that prevented this command from working:
git submodule foreach git annex init
* Improve shutdown process for external special remotes and external
backends. Make sure to relay any remaining stderr from the process,
and potentially avoid the process getting a SIGPIPE if it writes to
stderr too late.
* Fix a bug that prevented linux standalone bundle from working on a fresh
install.
* Windows build changed to one done by the datalad-extensions project
using Github actions.
* Windows build now includes libmagic, so mimetype and mimeencoding
will work.
Thanks to John Thorvald Wodder II and Yaroslav Halchenko for their work
on this.
* view: Avoid using ':' from metadata when generating a view, because
it's a special character on Windows ("c:")
* Fix a memory leak introduced in the last release.
* add, import: Fix a reversion in 7.20191009 that broke handling
of --largerthan and --smallerthan.
* view: Fix a reversion in 8.20200522 that broke entering or changing views.
* Fix build on Windows with network-3.
* testremote: Display exceptions when tests fail, to aid debugging.
