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.

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

• @bbodenmiller for fixing the formatting in our manual pages
• @breyed for fixing a typo in our manual pages
• @btoll for improving our README
• @rcoup for fixing our Accept header syntax
• @vtbassmatt for documenting our deprecation of NTLM
