Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue that could cause copying large manifests to fail during restore. (Reported by Craig A. James.)
* Fixed incorrect WAL offset for 32-bit architectures. (Fixed by Javier Wilson.)
* Fixed an issue retrieving WAL for old database versions. After a stanza-upgrade it should still be possible to restore backups from the previous version and perform recovery with archive-get. However, archive-get only checked the most recent db version/id and failed. Also clean up some issues when the same db version/id appears multiple times in the history. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Clinton Adams.)
* Fixed an issue with invalid backup groups being set correctly on restore. If the backup cannot map a group to a name it stores the group in the manifest as false then uses either the owner of $PGDATA to set the group during restore or failing that the group of the current user. This logic was not working correctly because the selected group was overwriting the user on restore leaving the group undefined and the user incorrectly set to the group. (Reported by Jeff McCormick.)
* Fixed an issue passing parameters to remotes. When more than one db was specified the path, port, and socket path would for db1 were passed no matter which db was actually being addressed. (Reported by Uspen.)
Features:
* Repository encryption support. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang, David Steele.)

db-path was the only option with a hint so the feature seemed wasteful. All missing stanza options now output the same hint without needing configuration.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix custom settings for compress-level option being ignored. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)
* Remove error when overlapping timelines are detected. Overlapping timelines are valid in many Point-in-Time-Recovery (PITR) scenarios. (Reported by blogh.)
* Fix instances where database-id was not rendered as an integer in JSON info output. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Jason O'Donnell.)
Features:
* Improve performance of list requests on S3. Any beginning literal portion of a filter expression is used to generate a search prefix which often helps keep the request small enough to avoid rate limiting. (Suggested by Mihail Shvein.)
Previously, functions with sensitive options had to be logged at trace level to avoid exposing them. Trace level logging may still expose secrets so use with caution.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue where warnings were being emitted in place of lower priority log messages during backup from standby initialization. (Reported by Uspen.)
* Fixed an issue where some db-* options (e.g. db-port) were not being passed to remotes. (Reported by Uspen.)
Features:
* Exclude contents of pg_snapshots, pg_serial, pg_notify, and pg_dynshmem from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
* Exclude pg_internal.init files from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
* Exclude contents of pg_snapshots, pg_serial, pg_notify, and pg_dynshmem from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
* Exclude pg_internal.init files from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue that could cause compression to abort on growing files. (Reported by Jesper St John, Aleksandr Rogozin.)
* Fixed an issue with keep-alives not being sent to the remote from the local process. (Reported by William Cox.)
Features:
* Up to seven standbys can be configured for backup from standby. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* PostgreSQL 10 support.
* Allow content-length (in addition to chunked encoding) when reading XML data to improve compatibility with third-party S3 gateways. (Suggested by Victor Gdalevich.)
Refactoring:
* Configuration rules are now pulled from the C library when present.
* Increase HTTP timeout for S3.
* Add HTTP retries to harden against transient S3 network errors.
Bug Fixes:
* The archive_status directory is now recreated on restore to support PostgreSQL 8.3 which does not recreate it automatically like more recent versions do. (Reported by Stephen Frost.)
* Fixed an issue that could cause the empty archive directory for an old PostgreSQL version to be left behind after a stanza-upgrade. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)
Features:
* Modified the info command (both text and JSON output) to display the archive ID and minimum/maximum WAL currently present in the archive for the current and prior, if any, database cluster version. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Added --backup-ssh-port and --db-ssh-port options to support non-default SSH ports. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
Refactoring:
* Retry when S3 returns an internal error (500).
* Add bIgnoreMissing parameter to Local->manifest().
* Move repository options into a separate section in command/command-line help. (Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
* Fix description of --online based on the command context.
* Remove vestigial repository options from backup command.
