   box.

1.2.5
 * #57: When generating sample configuration with generate-borgmatic-config, comment out all
   optional configuration so as to streamline the initial configuration process.

 * #34: Improve clarity of logging spew at high verbosity levels.
 * #30: Support for using tilde in source directory path to reference home directory.

 * #18: Added command-line flags for performing a borgmatic run with only pruning, creating, or
   checking enabled. This supports use cases like running consistency checks from a different cron
   job with a different frequency, or running pruning with a different verbosity level.

1.1.3

 * #15: Support for running multiple config files in /etc/borgmatic.d/ from a single borgmatic run.

   it. Dropping Attic support will allow faster iteration on Borg-specific
   features. If you're still using Attic, this is a good time to switch to Borg!
 * Project renamed from atticmatic to borgmatic. See the borgmatic README for
   information on upgrading.

0.1.8

 * Fix for handling of spaces in source_directories which resulted in backup up everything.
 * Fix for broken links to Borg documentation.
