**[XrdHttp]** Allow XRootD to return trailers indicating failure (#1912)
**[XrdHttp]** Denote Accept-Ranges in HEAD response (issue #1889)
**[XrdHttp]** Report cache object age for caching proxy mode (#1919)
**[XrdPss]** Allow origin to be a directory of a locally mounted file system
**[XrdSciTokens]** Implement ability to have the token username as a separate claim (#1978)
**[XrdSecgsi]** Use SHA-256 for signatures, and message digest algorithm (issues #1992, #2030)
**[XrdSecztn]** Allow option '-tokenlib none' to disable token validation (issue #1895)

**[Server]** Use correct value for testing vector size
**[XrdCl]** Fix off by one error in failure recovery check in parallel operation (issue #2040)
**[XrdCl]** Fix potential stream timeout when a new request is sent to an idle stream (issue #2042)
**[XrdCl]** Do not enforce TLS when --notlsok option is used in combination with root:// URL. This allows falling back to e.g. Kerberos authentication on a server with ZTN plugin enabled if the client has no certificates, hence not able to use TLS (issue #2020)
