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.
