#1127: Fix for the database hooks not respecting the "working_directory" option.
#1181: Add an "ask_for_password" option to the KeePassXC credential hook for disabling
KeePassXC's password prompt, e.g. if you're only using a key file to decrypt your database.
#1184: Fix the fish shell completion's detection of version mismatches.
#1186: Fix a regression in the Btrfs hook in which subvolume snapshots didn't get cleaned up
until the start of the next borgmatic run.
In the SQLite database hook, run SQLite such that it exits upon encountering an error instead of,
you know, not doing that.

#427: Expand the "extra_borg_options" option to support passing arbitrary Borg flags to every
Borg sub-command that borgmatic uses. As part of this, deprecate the "init" option under
"borg_extra_options" in favor of "repo_create".
#942: Factor reference material out of the documentation how-to guides. This means there's now a
whole reference section in the docs! Check it out: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/
#973: For the MariaDB and MySQL database hooks, add a "skip_names" option to ignore particular
databases when dumping "all".
#1150: Fix for a runtime directory error when the "create" action is used with the "--log-json"
flag.
#1150: Fix for a runtime directory error when the configured patterns contain a global exclude.
#1161: Fix a traceback (TypeError) in the "check" action with Python 3.14.
#1166: Add a "borg_key_file" option for setting the Borg repository key file path.
Add documentation search.
Change the URL of the local documentation development server to be more like the production URL.

#1105: More accurately collect Btrfs subvolumes to snapshot. As part of this, the Btrfs hook no
longer uses "findmnt" and the "findmnt_command" option is deprecated.
#1123: Add loading of systemd credentials even when running borgmatic outside of a systemd
service.
#1149: Include automated tests in the source dist tarball uploaded to PyPI.
#1151: Fix snapshotting in the ZFS, Btrfs, and LVM hooks to play nicely with the Borg 1.4+
"slashdot" hack within source directory paths.
#1152: Fix a regression in the Loki monitoring hook in which log messages weren't sending.
#1156: Fix snapshotting in the ZFS, Btrfs, and LVM hooks to snapshot both parent and child
volumes/filesystems instead of just the parent. As part of this fix, borgmatic no longer
deduplicates patterns except for those containing the borgmatic runtime directory.
Fix a traceback (TypeError) regression in the "spot" check when the "local_path" option isn't
set.
#1116: Add optional database labels to make it easier to find your dumps within a Borg archive.
#1118: Fix a bug in which Borg hangs during database backup when different filesystems are in
use.
#1122: To prevent the user from inadvertently excluding the "bootstrap" action's manifest, always
error and exit when the borgmatic runtime directory overlaps with the configured excludes.
#1125: Clarify documentation about ZFS, Btrfs, and LVM snapshotting when a separate
filesystem is mounted in the source directory. (Spoiler: The separate filesystem doesn't get
included in the snapshot.)
#1126: Create LVM snapshots as read-write to avoid an error when snapshotting ext4 filesystems
with orphaned files that need recovery.
#1133: Fix the "spot" check to include borgmatic configuration files that were backed up to
support the "bootstrap" action.
#1136: For all database hooks, record metadata about the dumps contained within an archive.
#1139: Set "borgmatic" as the user agent when connecting to monitoring services.
#1146: Fix a broken "create" action and "--archive latest" flag when multiple archives share the
same name with Borg 2.
Treat configuration file permissions issues as errors instead of warnings.
When running tests, use Ruff for faster and more comprehensive code linting and formatting,
replacing Flake8, Black, isort, etc.

#1032: Fix a bug in which a Borg archive gets created even when a database hook fails.
#1043: Support Btrfs subvolume paths in "source_directories" even when the subvolume is mounted
elsewhere.
#1048: Ignore Btrfs subvolumes whose read-only status can't be determined.
#1083: Add "debug_passphrase"/"display_passphrase" options and a "{unixtime}" placeholder in
support of Borg 2 features.
#1099: Clarify documentation on command hooks order of execution.
#1100: Fix a bug in which "borg --version" failing isn't considered a "fail" state in a command
hook.
#1108: Fix a bug in which quoted "extra_borg_options" values containing spaces are passed to Borg
incorrectly.
#1108: Add a "--comment" flag to the "create" action for creating an archive with a comment.
Use the Bandit security analysis tool when running tests.
SECURITY: Add timeouts to all monitoring hooks to prevent hangs on network requests, e.g. due to
a compromised monitoring server holding requests open.
SECURITY: For the "spot" check, use a more secure source of randomness when selecting paths to
check.

#1033: Add a "password_transport" option to the MariaDB and MySQL database hooks for customizing
how borgmatic transmits passwords to the database client.
#1078: Add "keep_3monthly" and "keep_13weekly" options for customizing "prune" action archive
retention.
#1078: Add a "use_chunks_archive" option for controlling whether Borg uses its chunks cache
directory.
#1078: For the "compact" action, pass "--dry-run" through to Borg.
#1085: Fix a regression in which the default monitoring verbosity is 0 (warnings only) instead of
1 (info about steps borgmatic is taking). This prevented logs from showing up in monitoring
services like Healthchecks unless you had an explicit monitoring verbosity set.
The borgmatic project no longer accepts pull requests on GitHub. But see https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#contributing for how you can still submit pull requests. You can
even use your GitHub account to login.
