v3.6.0

This release is a feature release which includes support for multi-stage
authentication with Git credential helpers (requires Git 2.46.0) and
relative worktree paths (requires Git 2.48.0), a new object transfer batch
size configuration option, better path handling when installing on Windows,
more POSIX-compliant hook scripts, and improved performance with sparse
checkouts, partial clones, and Git remotes with large numbers of tags.

Note that the 3.6.x series of Git LFS releases will be the last releases
for which we provide packages or support for versions of any Linux
distribution based on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) or
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12).

Note also that the 3.6.x series of Git LFS releases may be the last
releases for which we provide packages or support for versions of any
Linux distribution based on Debian 10 ("buster").

This release is built using Go v1.23 and therefore on macOS systems
requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later, and on Windows systems requires
at least Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 (although Windows 8.1 may
suffice).

v3.4.0

This release is a feature release which includes support for generating
shell scripts for command-line tab-completion of Git LFS commands with
the new git-lfs-completion(1) command, providing multiple headers to Git
credential helpers (a new feature as of Git 2.41), and installing Git LFS
with a Git configuration file stored under the XDG configuration path.

Note that this release will be made by a different member of the core
team than the person who performed many of the past releases, and thus
this release will be signed with a different OpenPGP key. Please follow
the steps in the README to download all of the keys for the core
team to verify this release.

v3.3.0

This release is a feature release which includes package support for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 9 and compatible OSes, experimental support for multiple
remotes, and some command-line helpers for git lfs push.

In this release, we no longer include vendored versions of our dependencies in
the repository or the tarballs. These were a source of noise and bloat, and
users can easily download the required dependencies with Go itself. Users who
need to continue to vendor the dependencies can use the make vendor target.

In addition, we've also switched the documentation to AsciiDoc from
ronn-flavoured Markdown and included the FAQ in the repository. This means that
the manual pages now render properly in the GitHub web interface and it's also
much easier to create additional formats, such as PDF, by leveraging the ability
of Asciidoctor to convert to DocBook.

It should also be noted that git lfs migrate import --everything now processes
all refs that aren't special to Git instead of just branches and tags. This is
what it was documented to do, but didn't, so we've fixed it.

Finally, please note that future releases may be done by a different member of
the core team than many of the past releases, and thus may be signed by a
different OpenPGP key. Please follow the steps in the README to download all
of the keys for the core
team to verify releases
successfully in the future.

contributors:

• @dhiwakarK for fixing a broken link

v3.2.0

This release is a feature release which includes support for machine-readable
formats for a couple more commands, plus the ability to automatically merge
LFS-based text files from the command-line. It's likely that the merge driver
will see future improvements, but if you have feedback on the design, please use
the discussions feature.

Note that our binary release archives no longer unpack into the current
directory, and now contain a top-level directory just like the source archives
do.

3.0.0, including problems with empty files, git lfs fsck --pointers, and
the testsuite.

We would like to extend a special thanks to the following open-source
contributors:

• @fh1ch for patches to make things work better on Alpine Linux
• @pyckle for fixing our handling of filenames in git lfs migrate import
• @ycongal-smile for fixing git lfs migrate import with similarly named files

Bugs

• Fix two types of misdetection in git lfs fsck #4697 (@bk2204)
• lfs: don't flag non-LFS files as invalid pointers #4691 (@bk2204)
• git: honor GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY #4686 (@bk2204)
• migrate: properly escape blob filenames #4683 (@pyckle)
• ls-files: don't process empty files as pointers #4681 (@bk2204)
• Call migrate() BlobFn on every blob #4671 (@ycongal-smile)
• Correct t-lock regular expression to be musl compatible #4673 (@fh1ch)

Misc

• Allow git-lfs-transfer integration tests to be skipped #4677 (@fh1ch)
• Make CI environment GIT prefix grep more specific #4678 (@fh1ch)
