+Version 1.1.0b3 (not released yet)
+----------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- borg recreate:
+
+  - fix rechunking dropping all chunks on the floor
+  - fix crash on checkpoint
+  - don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
+  - repo-only location: fix only one archive being processed
+- borg info:fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
+- borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
+- borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
+
+New features:
+
+- add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC)
+- crypto: link against system libb2, if possible, otherwise use bundled code
+- automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
+  to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
+  repository are deleted. #562
+- borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
+- borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663
+- borg mount --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1542
+- implement "health" item formatter key, #1749
+- BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
+  Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
+  deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
+  previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
+- implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
+
+Other changes:
+
+- borg recreate:
+
+  - remove special-cased --dry-run
+  - update --help
+  - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
+  - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
+  - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
+
+- borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
+- borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
+- improve metadata handling speed
+- shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
+- improve / add progress displays, #1721
+- check for index vs. segment files object count mismatch
+- make RPC protocol more extensible: use named parameters.
+- RemoteRepository: misc. code cleanups / refactors
+- clarify cache/repository README file
+
+- docs:
+
+  - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
+  - quickstart: only give one possible ssh url syntax, all others are
+    documented in usage chapter.
+  - mention file://
+  - document repo URLs / archive location
+  - clarify borg diff help, #980
+  - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
+  - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
+  - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
+    for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
+
+- tests:
+
+  - fuse tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
+  - fuse tests: test troublesome xattrs last
+  - fix byte range error in test, #1740
+  - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
+  - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
+  - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment
+
+
