-Changelog for restic 0.8.1 (UNRELEASED)
+Changelog for restic 0.9.1 (2018-06-10)
+=======================================
+
+The following sections list the changes in restic 0.9.1 relevant to
+restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+ * Fix #1801: Add limiting bandwidth to the rclone backend
+ * Fix #1822: Allow uploading large files to MS Azure
+ * Fix #1825: Correct `find` to not skip snapshots
+ * Fix #1833: Fix caching files on error
+ * Fix #1834: Resolve deadlock
+
+Details
+-------
+
+ * Bugfix #1801: Add limiting bandwidth to the rclone backend
+
+   The rclone backend did not respect `--limit-upload` or `--limit-download`. Oftentimes it's
+   not necessary to use this, as the limiting in rclone itself should be used because it gives much
+   better results, but in case a remote instance of rclone is used (e.g. called via ssh), it is still
+   relevant to limit the bandwidth from restic to rclone.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1801
+
+ * Bugfix #1822: Allow uploading large files to MS Azure
+
+   Sometimes, restic creates files to be uploaded to the repository which are quite large, e.g.
+   when saving directories with many entries or very large files. The MS Azure API does not allow
+   uploading files larger that 256MiB directly, rather restic needs to upload them in blocks of
+   100MiB. This is now implemented.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1822
+
+ * Bugfix #1825: Correct `find` to not skip snapshots
+
+   Under certain circumstances, the `find` command was found to skip snapshots containing
+   directories with files to look for when the directories haven't been modified at all, and were
+   already printed as part of a different snapshot. This is now corrected.
+
+   In addition, we've switched to our own matching/pattern implementation, so now things like
+   `restic find "/home/user/foo/**/main.go"` are possible.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1825
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1823
+
+ * Bugfix #1833: Fix caching files on error
+
+   During `check` it may happen that different threads access the same file in the backend, which
+   is then downloaded into the cache only once. When that fails, only the thread which is
+   responsible for downloading the file signals the correct error. The other threads just assume
+   that the file has been downloaded successfully and then get an error when they try to access the
+   cached file.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1833
+
+ * Bugfix #1834: Resolve deadlock
+
+   When the "scanning" process restic runs to find out how much data there is does not finish before
+   the backup itself is done, restic stops doing anything. This is resolved now.

+restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.
+
+Summary
+-------

+ * Enh #1735: Allow keeping a time range of snaphots
+ * Enh #1782: Use default AWS credentials chain for S3 backend
+
+Details
+-------
+
+ * Bugfix #1608: Respect time stamp for new backup when reading from stdin
+
+   When reading backups from stdin (via `restic backup --stdin`), restic now uses the time stamp
+   for the new backup passed in `--time`.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1608
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1703
+
+ * Bugfix #1652: Ignore/remove invalid lock files
+
+   This corrects a bug introduced recently: When an invalid lock file in the repo is encountered
+   (e.g. if the file is empty), the code used to ignore that, but now returns the error. Now, invalid
+   files are ignored for the normal lock check, and removed when `restic unlock --remove-all` is
+   run.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1652
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1653
+
+ * Bugfix #1730: Ignore sockets for restore
+
+   We've received a report and correct the behavior in which the restore code aborted restoring a
+   directory when a socket was encountered. Unix domain socket files cannot be restored (they are
+   created on the fly once a process starts listening). The error handling was corrected, and in
+   addition we're now ignoring sockets during restore.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1730
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1731
+
+ * Bugfix #1684: Fix backend tests for rest-server
+
+   The REST server for restic now requires an explicit parameter (`--no-auth`) if no
+   authentication should be allowed. This is fixed in the tests.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1684
+
+ * Bugfix #1745: Correctly parse the argument to --tls-client-cert
+
+   Previously, the --tls-client-cert method attempt to read ARGV[1] (hardcoded) instead of the
+   argument that was passed to it. This has been corrected.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1745
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1746
+
+ * Enhancement #1433: Support UTF-16 encoding and process Byte Order Mark
+
+   On Windows, text editors commonly leave a Byte Order Mark at the beginning of the file to define
+   which encoding is used (oftentimes UTF-16). We've added code to support processing the BOMs in
+   text files, like the exclude files, the password file and the file passed via `--files-from`.
+   This does not apply to any file being saved in a backup, those are not touched and archived as they
+   are.

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1738
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1748
+
+ * Enhancement #1561: Allow using rclone to access other services
+
+   We've added the ability to use rclone to store backup data on all backends that it supports. This
+   was done in collaboration with Nick, the author of rclone. You can now use it to first configure a
+   service, then restic manages the rest (starting and stopping rclone). For details, please see
+   the manual.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1561
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1657
+   https://rclone.org
+
+ * Enhancement #1665: Improve cache handling for `restic check`
+
+   For safety reasons, restic does not use a local metadata cache for the `restic check` command,
+   so that data is loaded from the repository and restic can check it's in good condition. When the
+   cache is disabled, restic will fetch each tiny blob needed for checking the integrity using a
+   separate backend request. For non-local backends, that will take a long time, and depending on
+   the backend (e.g. B2) may also be much more expensive.
+
+   This PR adds a few commits which will change the behavior as follows:
+
+   * When `restic check` is called without any additional parameters, it will build a new cache in a
+   temporary directory, which is removed at the end of the check. This way, we'll get readahead for
+   metadata files (so restic will fetch the whole file when the first blob from the file is
+   requested), but all data is freshly fetched from the storage backend. This is the default
+   behavior and will work for almost all users.
+
+   * When `restic check` is called with `--with-cache`, the default on-disc cache is used. This
+   behavior hasn't changed since the cache was introduced.
+
+   * When `--no-cache` is specified, restic falls back to the old behavior, and read all tiny blobs
+   in separate requests.

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1694
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1696
+
+ * Enhancement #1721: Add `cache` command to list cache dirs
+
+   The command `cache` was added, it allows listing restic's cache directoriers together with
+   the last usage. It also allows removing old cache dirs without having to access a repo, via
+   `restic cache --cleanup`
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1721
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1749
+
+ * Enhancement #1758: Allow saving OneDrive folders in Windows
+
+   Restic now contains a bugfix to two libraries, which allows saving OneDrive folders in
+   Windows. In order to use the newer versions of the libraries, the minimal version required to
+   compile restic is now Go 1.9.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1758
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1765
+
+ * Enhancement #549: Rework archiver code
+
+   The core archiver code and the complementary code for the `backup` command was rewritten
+   completely. This resolves very annoying issues such as 549. The first backup with this release
+   of restic will likely result in all files being re-read locally, so it will take a lot longer. The
+   next backup after that will be fast again.
+
+   Basically, with the old code, restic took the last path component of each to-be-saved file or
+   directory as the top-level file/directory within the snapshot. This meant that when called as
+   `restic backup /home/user/foo`, the snapshot would contain the files in the directory
+   `/home/user/foo` as `/foo`.
+
+   This is not the case any more with the new archiver code. Now, restic works very similar to what
+   `tar` does: When restic is called with an absolute path to save, then it'll preserve the
+   directory structure within the snapshot. For the example above, the snapshot would contain
+   the files in the directory within `/home/user/foo` in the snapshot. For relative
+   directories, it only preserves the relative path components. So `restic backup user/foo`
+   will save the files as `/user/foo` in the snapshot.
+
+   While we were at it, the status display and notification system was completely rewritten. By
+   default, restic now shows which files are currently read (unless `--quiet` is specified) in a
+   multi-line status display.
+
+   The `backup` command also gained a new option: `--verbose`. It can be specified once (which
+   prints a bit more detail what restic is doing) or twice (which prints a line for each
+   file/directory restic encountered, together with some statistics).
+
+   Another issue that was resolved is the new code only reads two files at most. The old code would
+   read way too many files in parallel, thereby slowing down the backup process on spinning discs a
+   lot.

+
+ * Enhancement #1552: Use Google Application Default credentials
+
+   Google provide libraries to generate appropriate credentials with various fallback
+   sources. This change uses the library to generate our GCS client, which allows us to make use of
+   these extra methods.
+
+   This should be backward compatible with previous restic behaviour while adding the
+   additional capabilities to auth from Google's internal metadata endpoints. For users
+   running restic in GCP this can make authentication far easier than it was before.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1552
+   https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials
+
+ * Enhancement #1477: Accept AWS_SESSION_TOKEN for the s3 backend
+
+   Before, it was not possible to use s3 backend with AWS temporary security credentials(with
+   AWS_SESSION_TOKEN). This change gives higher priority to credentials.EnvAWS credentials
+   provider.
+

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1479
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1647
+
+ * Enhancement #1648: Ignore AWS permission denied error when creating a repository
+
+   It's not possible to use s3 backend scoped to a subdirectory(with specific permissions).
+   Restic doesn't try to create repository in a subdirectory, when 'bucket exists' of parent
+   directory check fails due to permission issues.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1648
+
+ * Enhancement #1649: Add illumos/Solaris support
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1649
+
+ * Enhancement #1709: Improve messages `restic check` prints
+
+   Some messages `restic check` prints are not really errors, so from now on restic does not treat
+   them as errors any more and exits cleanly.

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1709
+   https://forum.restic.net/t/what-is-the-standard-procedure-to-follow-if-a-backup-or-restore-is-interrupted/571/2
+
+ * Enhancement #827: Add --new-password-file flag for non-interactive password changes
+
+   This makes it possible to change a repository password without being prompted.

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/827
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1720
+   https://forum.restic.net/t/changing-repo-password-without-prompt/591
+
+ * Enhancement #1735: Allow keeping a time range of snaphots
+
+   We've added the `--keep-within` option to the `forget` command. It instructs restic to keep
+   all snapshots within the given duration since the newest snapshot. For example, running
+   `restic forget --keep-within 5m7d` will keep all snapshots which have been made in the five
+   months and seven days since the latest snapshot.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1735
+
+ * Enhancement #1782: Use default AWS credentials chain for S3 backend
+
+   Adds support for file credentials to the S3 backend (e.g. ~/.aws/credentials), and reorders
+   the credentials chain for the S3 backend to match AWS's standard, which is static credentials,
+   env vars, credentials file, and finally remote.

+Changelog for restic 0.8.3 (2018-02-26)
+=======================================
+
+The following sections list the changes in restic 0.8.3 relevant to
+restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+ * Fix #1633: Fixed unexpected 'pack file cannot be listed' error
+ * Fix #1641: Ignore files with invalid names in the repo
+ * Fix #1638: Handle errors listing files in the backend
+ * Enh #1497: Add --read-data-subset flag to check command
+ * Enh #1560: Retry all repository file download errors
+ * Enh #1623: Don't check for presence of files in the backend before writing
+ * Enh #1634: Upgrade B2 client library, reduce HTTP requests
+
+Details
+-------
+
+ * Bugfix #1633: Fixed unexpected 'pack file cannot be listed' error
+
+   Due to a regression introduced in 0.8.2, the `rebuild-index` and `prune` commands failed to
+   read pack files with size of 587, 588, 589 or 590 bytes.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1633
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1635
+
+ * Bugfix #1641: Ignore files with invalid names in the repo
+
+   The release 0.8.2 introduced a bug: when restic encounters files in the repo which do not have a
+   valid name, it tries to load a file with a name of lots of zeroes instead of ignoring it. This is now
+   resolved, invalid file names are just ignored.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1641
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1643
+   https://forum.restic.net/t/help-fixing-repo-no-such-file/485/3
+
+ * Bugfix #1638: Handle errors listing files in the backend
+
+   A user reported in the forum that restic completes a backup although a concurrent `prune`
+   operation was running. A few error messages were printed, but the backup was attempted and
+   completed successfully. No error code was returned.
+
+   This should not happen: The repository is exclusively locked during `prune`, so when `restic
+   backup` is run in parallel, it should abort and return an error code instead.
+
+   It was found that the bug was in the code introduced only recently, which retries a List()
+   operation on the backend should that fail. It is now corrected.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1638
+   https://forum.restic.net/t/restic-backup-returns-0-exit-code-when-already-locked/484
+
+ * Enhancement #1497: Add --read-data-subset flag to check command
+
+   This change introduces ability to check integrity of a subset of repository data packs. This
+   can be used to spread integrity check of larger repositories over a period of time.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1497
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1556
+
+ * Enhancement #1560: Retry all repository file download errors
+
+   Restic will now retry failed downloads, similar to other operations.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560
+
+ * Enhancement #1623: Don't check for presence of files in the backend before writing
+
+   Before, all backend implementations were required to return an error if the file that is to be
+   written already exists in the backend. For most backends, that means making a request (e.g. via
+   HTTP) and returning an error when the file already exists.
+
+   This is not accurate, the file could have been created between the HTTP request testing for it,
+   and when writing starts, so we've relaxed this requeriment, which saves one additional HTTP
+   request per newly added file.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1623
+
+ * Enhancement #1634: Upgrade B2 client library, reduce HTTP requests
+
+   We've upgraded the B2 client library restic uses to access BackBlaze B2. This reduces the
+   number of HTTP requests needed to upload a new file from two to one, which should improve
+   throughput to B2.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1634

+   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.

+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1529
+
+ * Bugfix #1590: Strip spaces for lines read via --files-from
+
+   Leading and trailing spaces in lines read via `--files-from` are now stripped, so it behaves
+   the same as with lines read via `--exclude-file`.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1590
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1613
+
+ * Bugfix #1589: 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.

+   https://forum.restic.net/t/error-loading-tree-check-prune-and-forget-gives-error-b2-backend/406
+
+ * Bugfix #1594: Google Cloud Storage: Use generic HTTP transport
+
+   It was discovered that the Google Cloud Storage backend did not use the generic HTTP transport,
+   so things such as bandwidth limiting with `--limit-upload` did not work. This is resolved now.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1594
+
+ * Bugfix #1595: 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.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1595
+
+ * Enhancement #1522: 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.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1522
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1524
+
+ * Enhancement #1541: Reduce number of remote requests during repository check
+
+   This change eliminates redundant remote repository calls and significantly improves
+   repository check time.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1541
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1548
+
+ * Enhancement #1567: Reduce number of backend requests for rebuild-index and prune
+
+   We've found a way to reduce then number of backend requests for the `rebuild-index` and `prune`
+   operations. This significantly speeds up the operations for high-latency backends.

+
+ * Enhancement #1507: Only reload snapshots once per minute for fuse mount
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1507
+
+ * Enhancement #1538: Reduce memory allocations for querying the index
+
+   This change reduces the internal memory allocations when the index data structures in memory
+   are queried if a blob (part of a file) already exists in the repo. It should speed up backup a bit,
+   and maybe even reduce RAM usage.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1538
+
+ * Enhancement #1549: Speed up querying across indices and scanning existing files
+
+   This change increases the whenever a blob (part of a file) is searched for in a restic
+   repository. This will reduce cpu usage some when backing up files already backed up by restic.
+   Cpu usage is further decreased when scanning files.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1549
+
+ * Enhancement #1554: Fuse/mount: Correctly handle EOF, add template option
+
+   We've added the `--snapshot-template` string, which can be used to specify a template for a
+   snapshot directory. In addition, accessing data after the end of a file via the fuse mount is now
+   handled correctly.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1554
+
+ * Enhancement #1564: 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.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1564
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1588
+
+ * Enhancement #1579: Retry Backend.List() in case of errors
+
+   https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1579
+
+ * Enhancement #1584: 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.

+## Overview
+
+The restic project uses a governance model commonly described as Benevolent
+Dictator For Life (BDFL). This document outlines our understanding of what this
+means. It is derived from the [i3 window manager project
+governance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/i3/i3/next/.github/GOVERNANCE.md).
+
+## Roles
+
+* user: anyone who interacts with the restic project
+* core contributor: a handful of people who have contributed significantly to
+  the project by any means (issue triage, support, documentation, code, etc.).
+  Core contributors are recognizable via GitHub’s "Member" badge.
+* Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL): a single individual who makes decisions
+  when consensus cannot be reached. restic's current BDFL is [@fd0](https://github.com/fd0).
+
+## Decision making process
+
+In general, we try to reach consensus in discussions. In case consensus cannot
+be reached, the BDFL makes a decision.
+
+## Contribution process
+
+The contribution process is described in a separate document called

+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.

+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.

+Enhancement: Don't check for presence of files in the backend before writing

+Before, all backend implementations were required to return an error if the
