#294: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "ping_body_limit" option to configure how many bytes of
logs to send to the Healthchecks server.
#402: Remove the error when "archive_name_format" is specified but a retention prefix isn't.
#420: Warn when an unsupported variable is used in a hook command.
#439: Change connection failures for monitoring hooks (Healthchecks, Cronitor, PagerDuty, and
Cronhub) to be warnings instead of errors. This way, the monitoring system failing does not block
backups.
#460: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "send_logs" option to enable/disable sending borgmatic
logs to the Healthchecks server.
#525: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "states" option to only enable pinging for particular
monitoring states (start, finish, fail).
#528: Improve the error message when a configuration override contains an invalid value.
#531: BREAKING: When deep merging common configuration, merge colliding list values by appending
them. Previously, one list replaced the other.
#532: When a configuration include is a relative path, load it from either the current working
directory or from the directory containing the file doing the including. Previously, only the
working directory was used.
Add a randomized delay to the sample systemd timer to spread out the load on a server.
Change the configuration format for borgmatic monitoring hooks (Healthchecks, Cronitor,
PagerDuty, and Cronhub) to specify the ping URL / integration key as a named option. The intent
is to support additional options (some in this release). This change is backwards-compatible.
Add emojis to documentation table of contents to make it easier to find particular how-to and
reference guides at a glance.
#473: BREAKING: Instead of executing "before" command hooks before all borgmatic actions run (and
"after" hooks after), execute these hooks right before/after the corresponding action. E.g.,
"before_check" now runs immediately before the "check" action. This better supports running
timing-sensitive tasks like pausing containers. Side effect: before/after command hooks now run
once for each configured repository instead of once per configuration file. Additionally, the
"repositories" interpolated variable has been changed to "repository", containing the path to the
current repository for the hook. See the documentation for more information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/
#513: Add mention of sudo's "secure_path" option to borgmatic installation documentation.
#515: Fix "borgmatic borg key ..." to pass parameters to Borg in the correct order.
#516: Fix handling of TERM signal to exit borgmatic, not just forward the signal to Borg.
#517: Fix borgmatic exit code (so it's zero) when initial Borg calls fail but later retries
succeed.
Change Healthchecks logs truncation size from 10k bytes to 100k bytes, corresponding to that
same change on Healthchecks.io.

#431: Add "working_directory" option to support source directories with relative paths.
#444: When loading a configuration file that is unreadable due to file permissions, warn instead
of erroring. This supports running borgmatic as a non-root user with configuration in ~/.config
even if there is an unreadable global configuration file in /etc.
#486: Fix handling of "patterns_from" and "exclude_from" options to error instead of warning when
referencing unreadable files and "create" action is run.
#507: Fix Borg usage error in the "compact" action when running "borgmatic --dry-run". Now, skip
"compact" entirely during a dry run.

#394: Compact repository segments and free space with new "borgmatic compact" action. Borg 1.2+
only. Also run "compact" by default when no actions are specified, as "prune" in Borg 1.2 no
longer frees up space unless "compact" is run.
#394: When using the "atime", "bsd_flags", "numeric_owner", or "remote_rate_limit" options,
tailor the flags passed to Borg depending on the Borg version.
#480, #482: Fix traceback when a YAML validation error occurs.

#387: Fix error when configured source directories are not present on the filesystem at the time
of backup. Now, Borg will complain, but the backup will still continue.
#455: Mention changing borgmatic path in cron documentation.
Update sample systemd service file with more granular read-only filesystem settings.
Move Gitea and GitHub hosting from a personal namespace to an organization for better
collaboration with related projects.
