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.
We would like to extend a special thanks to the following open-source
contributors:
- @anihm136 for implementing shell completion script generation
- @aymanbagabas for multiple fixes to our SSH and transfer queue code
