+Bugfix: Improve error handling for rclone and REST backend over HTTP2
+
+When retrieving data from the rclone / REST backend while also using HTTP2
+restic did not detect when no data was returned at all. This could cause
+for example the `check` command to report the following error:
+
+    Pack ID does not match, want [...], got e3b0c442
+
+This has been fixed by correctly detecting and retrying the incomplete download.

+Bugfix: Fix terminal output redirection for PowerShell
+
+When redirecting the output of restic using PowerShell on Windows, the
+output contained terminal escape characters. This has been fixed by
+properly detecting the terminal type.
+
+In addition, the mintty terminal now shows progress output for the backup

+When attempting to initialize a new repository, if an empty password was

+Bugfix: `copy` failed to copy snapshots in rare cases
+
+The `copy` command could in rare cases fail with the error message `SaveTree(...)
+returned unexpected id ...`.  This has been fixed.
+
+On Linux/BSDs, the error could be caused by backing up symlinks with non-UTF-8
+target paths. Note that, due to limitations in the repository format, these are
+not stored properly and should be avoided if possible.

+Bugfix: `backup --quiet` no longer prints status information
+
+A regression in the latest restic version caused the output of `backup --quiet`
+to contain large amounts of backup progress information when run using an
+interactive terminal. This is fixed now.
+
+A workaround for this bug is to run restic as follows:
+`restic backup --quiet [..] | cat -`.

+Enhancement: Add `--repository-file2` option to `init` and `copy` command
+
+The `init` and `copy` command can now be used with the `--repository-file2`
+option or the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.
+These to options are in addition to the `--repo2` flag and allow you to read

+
+Using both `--repository-file` and `--repo2` options resulted in an error for
+the `copy` or `init` command. The handling of this combination of options has
+been fixed. A workaround for this issue is to only use `--repo` or `-r` and
