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 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.
