+Bugfix: Correctly handle volume names in `backup` command on Windows
+
+On Windows, when the specified backup target only included the volume
+name without a trailing slash, for example, `C:`, then restoring the
+resulting snapshot would result in an error. Note that using `C:\`
+as backup target worked correctly.
+
+Specifying volume names is now handled correctly. To restore snapshots
+created before this bugfix, use the <snapshot>:<subpath> syntax. For
+example, to restore a snapshot with ID `12345678` that backed up `C:`,
+use the following command:
+
+```
+restic restore 12345678:/C/C:./ --target output/folder
+```

+Enhancement: Automatically clear removed snapshots from cache

+Previously, restic only removed snapshots from the cache on the host where the

+Restic now automatically clears old snapshots from the local cache of the

+Restic used to print any `restore` errors directly to the console as freeform

+Enhancement: Make timeout for stuck requests customizable
+
+Restic monitors connections to the backend to detect stuck requests. If a
+request does not return any data within five minutes, restic assumes the
+request is stuck and retries it. However, for large repositories this timeout
+might be insufficient to collect a list of all files, causing the following
+error:
+
+`List(data) returned error, retrying after 1s: [...]: request timeout`
+
+It is now possible to increase the timeout using the `--stuck-request-timeout`
+option.
