TL;DR: More flexible, completely revamped command hooks. All configuration options settable on
the command-line. New configuration options for many command-line flags (including verbosity!).
New "key import" and "recreate" actions. Almost everything is backwards compatible—but mind those
deprecation warnings!
#262: Add a "default_actions" option that supports disabling default actions when borgmatic is
run without any command-line arguments.
#303: Add configuration options that serve as defaults for some (but not all) command-line
action flags. For example, each entry in "repositories:" now has an "encryption" option that
applies to the "repo-create" action, serving as a default for the "--encryption" flag. See the
documentation for more information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/reference/configuration/
#345: Add a "key import" action to import a repository key from backup.
#422: Add home directory expansion to file-based and KeePassXC credential hooks.
#610: Add a "recreate" action for recreating archives, for instance for retroactively excluding
particular files from existing archives.
#790: BREAKING: For both new and deprecated command hooks, run a configured "after" hook even if
an error occurs first. This allows you to perform cleanup steps that correspond to "before"
preparation commands—even when something goes wrong.
#790: BREAKING: Run all command hooks (both new and deprecated) respecting the
"working_directory" option if configured, meaning that hook commands are run in that directory.
#793: Add configuration options for all verbosity and logging flags, so you don't have to set
them on the command-line.
#836: Add a custom command option for the SQLite hook.
#837: Add custom command options for the MongoDB hook.
#1010: When using Borg 2, don't pass the "--stats" flag to "borg prune".
#1017: Fix a regression in which some MariaDB/MySQL passwords were not escaped correctly.
#1021: Fix a regression in which the "exclude_patterns" option didn't expand "~" (the user's
home directory). This fix means that all "patterns" and "patterns_from" also now expand "~".
#1023: Fix an error in the Btrfs hook when attempting to snapshot a read-only subvolume. Now,
read-only subvolumes are ignored since Btrfs can't actually snapshot them.
#996: Fix the "create" action to omit the repository label prefix from Borg's output when
databases are enabled.
#998: Send the "encryption_passphrase" option to Borg via an anonymous pipe, which is more secure
than using an environment variable.
#999: Fix a runtime directory error from a conflict between "extra_borg_options" and special file
detection.
#1001: For the ZFS, Btrfs, and LVM hooks, only make snapshots for root patterns that come from
a borgmatic configuration option (e.g. "source_directories")—not from other hooks within
borgmatic.
#1001: Fix a ZFS/LVM error due to colliding snapshot mount points for nested datasets or logical
volumes.
#1001: Don't try to snapshot ZFS datasets that have the "canmount=off" property.
Fix another error in the Btrfs hook when a subvolume mounted at "/" is configured in borgmatic's
source directories.
#987: Fix a "list" action error when the "encryption_passcommand" option is set.
#987: When both "encryption_passcommand" and "encryption_passphrase" are configured, prefer
"encryption_passphrase" even if it's an empty value.
#988: With the "max_duration" option or the "--max-duration" flag, run the archives and
repository checks separately so they don't interfere with one another. Previously, borgmatic
refused to run checks in this situation.
#989: Fix the log message code to avoid using Python 3.10+ logging features. Now borgmatic will
work with Python 3.9 again.
Capture and delay any log records produced before logging is fully configured, so early log
records don't get lost.

#635: Log the repository path or label on every relevant log message, not just some logs.
#961: When the "encryption_passcommand" option is set, call the command once from borgmatic to
collect the encryption passphrase and then pass it to Borg multiple times. See the documentation
for more information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/provide-your-passwords/
#982: Fix for borgmatic "exclude_patterns" and "exclude_from" recursing into excluded
subdirectories.
#983: Fix the Btrfs hook to support subvolumes with names like "@home" different from their
mount points.
#985: Change the default value for the "--original-hostname" flag from "localhost" to no host
specified. This way, the "restore" action works without a hostname if there's a single matching
database dump.
