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](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs#verifying-releases) to verify releases

successfully in the future.
