  * Add support for Borg 2's "rclone://" repository URLs, so you can backup to 70+ cloud storage
    services whether or not they support Borg explicitly.
+ * When using Borg 2, default the "archive_name_format" option to just "{hostname}", as Borg 2 does
+   not require unique archive names; identical archive names form a common "series" that can be
+   targeted together. See the Borg 2 documentation for more information:
+   https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.0b12/changes.html#borg-1-2-x-1-4-x-to-borg-2-0
+ * Update the "--match-archives" flag in all actions (and the "--archive" flag in select actions) to
+   support a Borg 2 series name as its value.
+ * Update the "--match-archives" and "--archive" flags in all actions to support a Borg 2 archive
+   hash as its value.
+ * Add a "--match-archives" flag to the "prune" action.
 
 1.8.14
  * #896: Fix an error in borgmatic rcreate/init on an empty repository directory with Borg 1.4.
