## 2.4.1 (18 May, 2018)

This release fixes a handful of bugs found and fixed since v2.4.0. In
particular, Git LFS no longer panic()'s after invalid API responses, can
correctly run 'fetch' on SHAs instead of references, migrates symbolic links
correctly, and avoids writing to `$HOME/.gitconfig` more than is necessary.

We would like to extend a "thank you" to the following contributors for their
gracious patches:

- @QuLogic fixed an issue with running tests that require credentials
- @patrickmarlier made it possible for 'git lfs migrate import' to work
  correctly with symbolic links.
- @zackse fixed an inconsistency in `CONTRIBUTING.md`
- @zanglang fixed an inconsistency in `README.md`

Git LFS would not be possible without generous contributions from the
open-source community. For these, and many more: thank you!

## 2.4.0 (2 March, 2018)

This release introduces a rewrite of the underlying file matching engine,
expands the API to include relevant refspecs for individual requests,
standardizes the progress output among commands, and more.

Please note: in the next MAJOR release (v3.0.0) the semantic meaning behind
`--include` and `--exclude` flags will change. As the details of exactly which
existing patterns will no longer function as previously are known, we will
indicate them here. Any `--include` or `--exclude` patterns used in v2.3.0 or
earlier are expected to work as previously in this release.

This release would not be possible without the open-source community.
Specifically, we would like to thank:

- @larsxschneider: for contributing fixes to the filter operation in `git lfs
  fsck`, and `git lfs prune`, as well as the bug report leading to the
  filepathfilter changes.
- @yfronto: for adding new Linux release targets.
- @stffabi: for adding support for NTLM with SSPI on Windows.
- @jeffreydwalter: for fixing memory alignment issues with `sync/atomic` on
  32-bit architectures.
- @b4mboo: for adding a LFS configuration key to the list of safe configuration
  options.

Without the aforementioned indviduals, this release would not have been
possible. Thank you!

Git LFS v2.3.0 includes performance optimizations for the `git-lfs-migrate(1)`
and `git-clone(1)` commands, new features, bug-fixes, and more.

This release was made possible by contributors to Git LFS. Specifically:

- @aleb: added support for "standalone" transfer agents, for using `rsync(1)`
  and similar with Git LFS.
- @bozaro: added support for custom `.git/lfs/objects` directories via the
  `lfs.storage` configuration option.
- @larsxschneider: fixed a recursive process leak when shelling out to Git,
  added new features to `git lfs ls-files`, extra information in error
  messages used for debugging, documentation changes and more.
- @mathstuf: contributed a documentation change clarifying LFS's handling of
  empty pointer files.
- @rudineirk and @andyneff: updated our release process to build packages for
  fedora/26.
- @ssgelm: ensured that LFS is able to be released on Ubuntu Universe.

To everyone who has contributed to this or previous releases of Git LFS: Thank
you!

## 2.2.0 (27 June, 2017)

Git LFS v2.2.0 includes bug fixes, minor features, and a brand new `migrate`
command. The `migrate` command rewrites commits, converting large files from
Git blobs to LFS objects. The most common use case will fix a git push rejected
for having large blobs:

```
$ git push origin master
# ...
remote: error: file a.psd is 1.2 gb; this exceeds github's file size limit of 100.00 mb
to github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git'

$ git lfs migrate info
*.psd   1.2 GB   27/27 files(s)  100%

$ git lfs migrate import --include="*.psd"
migrate: Sorting commits: ..., done
migrate: Rewriting commits: 100% (810/810), done
  master        f18bb746d44e8ea5065fc779bb1acdf3cdae7ed8 -> 35b0fe0a7bf3ae6952ec9584895a7fb6ebcd498b
migrate: Updating refs: ..., done

$ git push origin
Git LFS: (1 of 1 files) 1.2 GB / 1.2 GB
# ...
To github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
 * [new branch]      master -> master
```

The `migrate` command has detailed options described in the `git-lfs-migrate(1)`
man page. Keep in mind that this is the first pass at such a command, so we
expect there to be bugs and performance issues (especially on long git histories).
Future updates to the command will be focused on improvements to allow full
LFS transitions on large repositories.

### Features

Git LFS v2.1.1 ships with bug fixes and a security patch fixing a remote code
execution vulnerability exploitable by setting a SSH remote via your

vulnerability is only exploitable if an attacker has write access to your
repository, or you clone a repository with a `.lfsconfig` file containing that
string.

## 2.0.0 (1 March, 2017)

Git LFS v2.0.0 brings a number of important bug fixes, some new features, and
a lot of internal refactoring. It also completely removes old APIs that were
deprecated in Git LFS v0.6.

### Locking

File Locking is a brand new feature that lets teams communicate when they are
working on files that are difficult to merge. Users are not able to edit or push
changes to any files that are locked by other users. While the feature has been
in discussion for a year, we are releasing a basic Locking implementation to
solicit feedback from the community.

### Transfer Queue

LFS 2.0 introduces a new Git Scanner, which walks a range of Git commits looking
for LFS objects to transfer. The Git Scanner is now asynchronous, initiating
large uploads or downloads in the Transfer Queue immediately once an LFS object
is found. Previously, the Transfer Queue waited until all of the Git commits
have been scanned before initiating the transfer. The Transfer Queue also
automatically retries failed uploads and downloads more often.

### Deprecations

Git LFS v2.0.0 also drops support for the legacy API in v0.5.0. If you're still
using LFS servers on the old API, you'll have to stick to v1.5.6.

### Features

* Mid-stage locking support #1769 (@sinbad)
* Define lockable files, make read-only in working copy #1870 (@sinbad)
* Check that files are not uncommitted before unlock #1896 (@sinbad)
* Fix `lfs unlock --force` on a missing file #1927 (@technoweenie)

* locking: add `--json` flag #1814 (@ttaylorr)
* Implement local lock cache, support querying it #1760 (@sinbad)
* support for client certificates pt 2 #1893 (@technoweenie)
* Fix clash between progress meter and credential helper #1886 (@technoweenie)
* Teach uninstall cmd about --local and --system #1887 (@technoweenie)
* Add `--skip-repo` option to `git lfs install` & use in tests #1868 (@sinbad)
* commands: convert push, pre-push to use async gitscanner #1812 (@ttaylorr)
* tq: prioritize transferring retries before new items #1758 (@ttaylorr)

process of making LFS's test run on Windows through AppVeyor. Now all pull
requests run tests on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
