+Bugfix: Restore directory permissions as the last step
+
+This change allows restoring into directories that were not writable during
+backup. Before, restic created the directory, set the read-only mode and then
+failed to create files in the directory. This change now restores the directory
+(with its permissions) as the very last step.

+Enhancement: Add support for TLS client certificate authentication
+
+Support has been added for using a TLS client certificate for authentication to
+HTTP based backend. A file containing the PEM encoded private key and
+certificate can be set using the `--tls-client-cert` option.

+Enhancement: Don't terminate ssh on SIGINT
+
+We've reworked the code which runs the `ssh` login for the sftp backend so that
+it can prompt for a password (if needed) but does not exit when the user
+presses CTRL+C (SIGINT) e.g. during backup. This allows restic to properly shut
+down when it receives SIGINT and remove the lock file from the repo, afterwards
+exiting the `ssh` process.

+Enhancement: Limit index file size
+
+Before, restic would create a single new index file on `prune` or
+`rebuild-index`, this may lead to memory problems when this huge index is
+created and loaded again. We're now limiting the size of the index file, and
+split newly created index files into several smaller ones. This allows restic
+to be more memory-efficient.

+Bugfix: Complete intermediate index upload
+
+After a user posted a comprehensive report of what he observed, we were able to
+find a bug and correct it: During backup, restic uploads so-called
+"intermediate" index files. When the backup finishes during a transfer of such
+an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled, but the backup is finished
+without an error. This leads to an inconsistent state, where the snapshot
+references data that is contained in the repo, but is not referenced in any
+index.
+
+The situation can be resolved by building a new index with `rebuild-index`, but
+looks very confusing at first. Since all the data got uploaded to the repo
+successfully, there was no risk of data loss, just minor inconvenience for our
+users.

+Bugfix: backup: Remove bandwidth display
+
+This commit removes the bandwidth displayed during backup process. It is
+misleading and seldomly correct, because it's neither the "read
+bandwidth" (only for the very first backup) nor the "upload bandwidth".
+Many users are confused about (and rightly so), c.f. #1581, #1033, #1591
+
+We'll eventually replace this display with something more relevant when
+the new archiver code is ready.
