• #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/
• #981: Fix a "spot" check file count delta error.
• #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.

1.9.8

• #979: Fix root patterns so they don't have an invalid "sh:" prefix before getting passed to Borg.
• Expand the recent contributors documentation section to include ticket submitters—not just code contributors—because there are multiple ways to contribute to the project! See:
  https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#recent-contributors

1.9.7

• #855: Add a Sentry monitoring hook. See the documentation for more information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#sentry-hook
• #968: Fix for a "spot" check error when a filename in the most recent archive contains a newline.
• #970: Fix for an error when there's a blank line in the configured patterns or excludes.
• #971: Fix for "exclude_from" files being completely ignored.
• #977: Fix for "exclude_patterns" and "exclude_from" not supporting explicit pattern styles (e.g., "sh:" or "re:").

1.9.6

• #959: Fix an error in the Btrfs hook when a subvolume mounted at "/" is configured in borgmatic's source directories.
• #960: Fix for archives storing relative source directory paths such that they contain the working directory.
• #960: Fix the "spot" check to support relative source directory paths.
• #962: For the ZFS, Btrfs, and LVM hooks, perform path rewriting for excludes and patterns in addition to the existing source directories rewriting.
• #962: Under the hood, merge all configured source directories, excludes, and patterns into a
  unified temporary patterns file for passing to Borg. The borgmatic configuration options remain unchanged.
• #962: For the LVM hook, add support for nested logical volumes.
• #965: Fix a borgmatic runtime directory error when running the "spot" check with a database hook enabled.
• #969: Fix the "restore" action to work on database dumps without a port when a default port is present in configuration.
• Fix the "spot" check to no longer consider pipe files within an archive for file comparisons.
• Fix the "spot" check to have a nicer error when there are no source paths to compare.
• Fix auto-excluding of special files (when databases are configured) to support relative source directory paths.
• Drop support for Python 3.8, which has been end-of-lifed.
