Git LFS 2.4.0 released

Git LFS v2.4.0, the latest version of the open-source Git extension for managing large files, introduces several significant updates, including a complete reimplementation of its pattern matching engine, which now supports character ranges and classes, and aims to standardize pattern meanings for future releases. The update also features a unified progress meter that aligns with Git's style, providing clearer and more focused feedback during file transfers by displaying a moving average rate and omitting the count of "skipped" objects. Furthermore, Git LFS v2.4.0 enhances its API by including affected references in requests, paving the way for contributions from pull request owners, and offers additional features such as new commands, improved Linux support, and NTLM SSPI authentication on Windows, thanks to the contributions of the open-source community.
