+    - SNAPSHOT FORMAT CHANGE: The snapshot format has been extended to
+      allow the local database to be partially rebuilt from the contents
+      of the metadata log.  This may be useful for disaster recovery and
+      other scenarios.  The changes are small, but old tools will not
+      read the new backups.
+    - Add the --rebuild-statcache option which will re-read all files
+      instead of depending on the statcache file to be correct.  This
+      will additionally print warnings if a file has changed but would
+      not have been detected as changed based on the statcache, and will
+      add subfile incremental signatures for existing files that do not
+      have them.
