This is mostly a bugfix release and only contains small changes:

• The release binaries are now built in a reproducible way, see https://github.com/restic/builder

• We've fixed a bug where rebuild-index would corrupt the index when used with the s3 backend together with the default layout. This is not the default setting.

• Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This is especially important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local server) may create a lot connections and exhaust available ports quickly. https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/985 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/986

• Regular status report: We've removed the status report that was printed every 10 seconds when restic is run non-interactively. You can still force reporting the current status by sending a USR1 signal to the process. https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/974

• The build.go now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from the binary. This is the first step in enabling reproducible builds. https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/981
