-git-annex 7.20191017 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * initremote: Added --sameas option, allows for two special remotes that
-     access the same data store.
-   * Note that due to complications of the sameas feature, any external
-     special remotes that try to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE
-     or EXPORTSUPPORTED will now get back an ERROR. That would be a very
-     hackish thing for an external special remote to do, needing some kind
-     of hard-coded key value to be used, so probably nothing will be affected.
-   * forget --drop-dead: Remove several classes of git-annex log files
-     when they become empty, further reducing the size of the git-annex branch.
-   * OSX: Deal with symbolic link problem that caused git to not be included in
-     the git-annex.dmg.
-   * Fix build with persistent-2.10."""]]

+   * git-lfs: The url provided to initremote/enableremote will now be
+     stored in the git-annex branch, allowing enableremote to be used without
+     an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
+   * git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
+     used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
+   * sync, assistant: Pull and push from git-lfs remotes.
+   * Fix bug that made bare repos be treated as non-bare when --git-dir
+     was used.
+   * inprogress: Support --key.
+   * Sped up many git-annex commands that operate on many files, by
+     avoiding reserialization of keys.
+     find is 7% faster; whereis is 3% faster; and git-annex get when
+     all files are already present is 5% faster
+   * Stop displaying rsync progress, and use git-annex's own progress display
+     for local-to-local repo transfers.
+   * benchmark: Changed --databases to take a parameter specifiying the size
+     of the database to benchmark.
+   * benchmark --databases: Display size of the populated database.
+   * benchmark --databases: Improve the "addAssociatedFile (new)"
+     benchmark to really add new values, not overwriting old values.
+   * Windows: Fix handling of changes to time zone. (Used to work but was
+     broken in version 7.20181031.)"""]]
