+Version 1.2.6 (2023-08-31)
+--------------------------
+
+Fixes:
+
+- The upgrade procedure docs as published with borg 1.2.5 did not work, if the
+  repository had archives resulting from a borg rename or borg recreate operation.
+
+  The updated docs now use BORG_WORKAROUNDS=ignore_invalid_archive_tam at some
+  places to avoid that issue, #7791.
+
+  See: fix pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2023-36811),
+  details and necessary upgrade procedure described above.
+
+Other changes:
+
+- updated 1.2.5 changelog entry: 1.2.5 already has the fix for rename/recreate.
+- remove cython restrictions. recommended is to build with cython 0.29.latest,
+  because borg 1.2.x uses this since years and it is very stable.
+  you can also try to build with cython 3.0.x, there is a good chance that it works.
+  as a 3rd option, we also bundle the `*.c` files cython outputs in the release
+  pypi package, so you can also just use these and not need cython at all.
+
+
+Version 1.2.5 (2023-08-30)
+--------------------------
+
+Fixes:
+
+- Security: fix pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2023-36811),
+  see details and necessary upgrade procedure described above.
+- rename/recreate: correctly update resulting archive's TAM, see #7791
+- create: do not try to read parent dir of recursion root, #7746
+- extract: fix false warning about pattern never matching, #4110
+- diff: remove surrogates before output, #7535

+
+New features:
+
+- mount: make up volname if not given (macOS), #7690.
+  macFUSE supports a volname mount option to give what finder displays on the
+  desktop / in the directory view. if the user did not specify it, we make
+  something up, because otherwise it would be "macFUSE Volume 0 (Python)" and
+  hide the mountpoint directory name.
+- BORG_WORKAROUNDS=authenticated_no_key to extract from authenticated repos
+  without key, #7700
+
+Other changes:
+
+- add `utcnow()` helper function to avoid deprecated `datetime.utcnow()`
+- stay on latest Cython 0.29 (0.29.36) for borg 1.2.x (do not use Cython 3.0 yet)

+
+

+--------------------------
+
+New features:
+
+- import-tar: add --ignore-zeros to process concatenated tars, #7432.

+  of an archive inside the same repository, #7254.
+- set .hardlink_master for ALL hardlinkable items, #7175
+- locking: fix host, pid, tid order.
+  tid (thread id) must be parsed as hex from lock file name.

+
+- requirements: allow msgpack 1.0.5 also
+- upgrade Cython to 0.29.33
+- hashindex minor fixes, refactor, tweaks, tests

+
+Version 1.2.2 (2022-08-20)
+--------------------------
+
+New features:
+
+- prune/delete --checkpoint-interval=1800 and ctrl-c/SIGINT support, #6284
+
+Fixes:
+
+- SaveFile: use a custom mkstemp with mode support, #6933, #6400, #6786.
+  This fixes umask/mode/ACL issues (and also "chmod not supported" exceptions

+
+  - borg create with a remote repo via ssh
+  - borg create --content-from-command
+  - borg create --paths-from-command
+  - (de)compression filter process of import-tar / export-tar
+
+Other changes:
+

+- fix pyproject.toml to create a fixed _version.py file, compatible with both
+  old and new setuptools_scm version, #6875
+- automate asciinema screencasts
+- CI: test on macOS 12 without fuse / fuse tests
+  (too troublesome on github CI due to kernel extensions needed by macFUSE)
+- tests: fix test_obfuscate byte accounting
+- repository: add debug logging for issue #6687
+- _chunker.c: fix warnings on macOS
+- requirements.lock.txt: use the latest cython 0.29.32

+- import-tar: fix mtime type bug
+- ensure_dir: respect umask for created directory modes, #6400
+- SaveFile: respect umask for final file mode, #6400
+- check archive: improve error handling for corrupt archive metadata block, make
+  robust_iterator more robust, #4777
+- pre12-meta cache: do not use the cache if want_unique is True, #6612
+- fix scp-style repo url parsing for ip v6 address, #6526
+- mount -o versions: give clear error msg instead of crashing.
+  it does not make sense to request versions view if you only look at 1 archive,
+  but the code shall not crash in that case as it did, but give a clear error msg.
+- show_progress: add finished=true/false to archive_progress json, #6570
+- delete/prune: fix --iec mode output (decimal vs. binary units), #6606
+- info: fix authenticated mode repo to show "Encrypted: No", #6462
+- diff: support presence change for blkdev, chrdev and fifo items, #6615
+
+New features:
+

+- load_key: no key is same as empty key, #6441
+- give a more helpful error msg for unsupported key formats, #6561
+- better error msg for defect or unsupported repo configs, #6566
+- docs:
+
+  - document borg 1.2 pattern matching behavior change, #6407
+    Make clear that absolute paths always go into the matcher as if they are
+    relative (without leading slash). Adapt all examples accordingly.
+  - authentication primitives: improved security and performance infos
+  - mention BORG_FILES_CACHE_SUFFIX as alternative to BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #5602
+  - FAQ: add a hint about --debug-topic=files_cache
+  - improve borg check --max-duration description
+  - fix values of TAG bytes, #6515
+  - borg compact --cleanup-commits also runs a normal compaction, #6324
+  - virtualization speed tips
+  - recommend umask for passphrase file perms
+  - borg 1.2 is security supported
+  - update link to ubuntu packages, #6485
+  - use --numeric-ids in pull mode docs
+  - remove blake2 docs, blake2 code not bundled any more, #6371
+  - clarify on-disk order and size of segment file log entry fields, #6357
+  - docs building: do not transform --/--- to unicode dashes
+- tests:
+
+  - check that borg does not require pytest for normal usage, fixes #6563
+  - fix OpenBSD symlink mode test failure, #2055
+- vagrant:
+
+  - darwin64: remove fakeroot, #6314
+  - update development.lock.txt
+  - use pyinstaller 4.10 and python 3.9.13 for binary build
+  - upgrade VMCPUS and xdistn from 4 to 16, maybe this speeds up the tests
+- crypto:
+
+  - use hmac.compare_digest instead of ==, #6470
+  - hmac_sha256: replace own cython wrapper code by hmac.digest python stdlib (since py38)
+  - hmac and blake2b minor optimizations and cleanups
+  - removed some unused crypto related code, #6472
+  - avoid losing the key (potential use-after-free). this never could happen in
+    1.2 due to the way we use the code. The issue was discovered in master after
+    other changes, so we also "fixed" it here before it bites us.
+- setup / build:
+
+  - add pyproject.toml, fix sys.path, #6466
+  - setuptools_scm: also require it via pyproject.toml
+  - allow extra compiler flags for every extension build
+  - fix misc. C / Cython compiler warnings, deprecation warnings
+  - fix zstd.h include for bundled zstd, #6369
+- source using python 3.8 features: ``pyupgrade --py38-plus ./**/*.py``
