+Details
+-------
+
+ * Security #131: Prevent loading of usernames containing a slash
+
+   "/" is valid char in HTTP authorization headers, but is also used in rest-server to map
+   usernames to private repos.
+
+   This commit prevents loading maliciously composed usernames like "/foo/config" by
+   restricting the allowed characters to the unicode character class, numbers, "-", "." and "@".
+
+   This prevents requests to other users files like:
+
+   Curl -v -X DELETE -u foo/config:attack http://localhost:8000/foo/config

+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/132
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/137
+
+ * Bugfix #119: Fix Docker configuration for `DISABLE_AUTHENTICATION`
+
+   Rest-server 0.10.0 introduced a regression which caused the `DISABLE_AUTHENTICATION`
+   environment variable to stop working for the Docker container. This has been fixed by
+   automatically setting the option `--no-auth` to disable authentication.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/119
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/124
+
+ * Bugfix #142: Fix possible data loss due to interrupted network connections
+
+   When rest-server was run without `--append-only` it was possible to lose uploaded files in a
+   specific scenario in which a network connection was interrupted.
+
+   For the data loss to occur a file upload by restic would have to be interrupted such that restic
+   notices the interrupted network connection before the rest-server. Then restic would have to
+   retry the file upload and finish it before the rest-server notices that the initial upload has
+   failed. Then the uploaded file would be accidentally removed by rest-server when trying to
+   cleanup the failed upload.
+
+   This has been fixed by always uploading to a temporary file first which is moved in position only
+   once it was uploaded completely.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/142
+
+ * Bugfix #157: Use platform-specific temporary directory as default data directory
+
+   If no data directory is specificed, then rest-server now uses the Go standard library
+   functions to retrieve the standard temporary directory path for the current platform.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/157
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/158
+
+ * Bugfix #155: Reply "insufficient storage" on disk full or over-quota
+
+   When there was no space left on disk, or any other write-related error occurred, rest-server
+   replied with HTTP status code 400 (Bad request). This is misleading (restic client will dump
+   the status code to the user).
+
+   Rest-server now replies with two different status codes in these situations: * HTTP 507
+   "Insufficient storage" is the status on disk full or repository over-quota * HTTP 500
+   "Internal server error" is used for other disk-related errors
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/155
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/160
+
+ * Change #146: Build rest-server at docker container build time
+
+   The Dockerfile now includes a build stage such that the latest rest-server is always built and
+   packaged. This is done in a standard golang container to ensure a clean build environment and
+   only the final binary is shipped rather than the whole build environment.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/146
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/145
+
+ * Change #112: Add subrepo support and refactor server code
+
+   Support for multi-level repositories has been added, so now each user can have its own
+   subrepositories. This feature is always enabled.
+
+   Authentication for the Prometheus /metrics endpoint can now be disabled with the new
+   `--prometheus-no-auth` flag.
+
+   We have split out all HTTP handling to a separate `repo` subpackage to cleanly separate the
+   server code from the code that handles a single repository. The new RepoHandler also makes it
+   easier to reuse rest-server as a Go component in any other HTTP server.
+
+   The refactoring makes the code significantly easier to follow and understand, which in turn
+   makes it easier to add new features, audit for security and debug issues.

+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/107
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/112
+
+ * Enhancement #122: Verify uploaded files
+
+   The rest-server now by default verifies that the hash of content of uploaded files matches
+   their filename. This ensures that transmission errors are detected and forces restic to retry
+   the upload. On low-power devices it can make sense to disable this check by passing the
+   `--no-verify-upload` flag.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/122
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/130
+
+ * Enhancement #126: Allow running rest-server via systemd socket activation
+
+   We've added the option to have systemd create the listening socket and start the rest-server on
+   demand.
+
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/126
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/151
+   https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/127
+
+ * Enhancement #148: Expand use of security features in example systemd unit file
+
+   The example systemd unit file now enables additional systemd features to mitigate potential
+   security vulnerabilities in rest-server and the various packages and operating system
+   components which it relies upon.
