Enhancement: Make `forget` consistent
The `forget` command was corrected to be more consistent in which snapshots are
to be forgotten. It is possible that the new code removes more snapshots than
before, so please review what would be deleted by using the `--dry-run` option.

Enhancement: Unify repository layout for all backends
Up to now the s3 backend used a special repository layout. We've decided to
unify the repository layout and implemented the default layout also for the s3
backend. For creating a new repository on s3 with the default layout, use
`restic -o s3.layout=default init`. For further commands the option is not
necessary any more, restic will automatically detect the correct layout to use.
A future version will switch to the default layout for new repositories.

Enhancement: Improve memory and runtime for the s3 backend
We've updated the library used for accessing s3, switched to using a lower
level API and added caching for some requests. This lead to a decrease in
memory usage and a great speedup. In addition, we added benchmark functions for
all backends, so we can track improvements over time. The Continuous
Integration test service we're using (Travis) now runs the s3 backend tests not
only against a Minio server, but also against the Amazon s3 live service, so we
should be notified of any regressions much sooner.

Enhancement: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections
Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This

Security: Prevent writing outside the target directory during restore
A vulnerability was found in the restic restorer, which allowed attackers in
special circumstances to restore files to a location outside of the target
directory. Due to the circumstances we estimate this to be a low-risk
vulnerability, but urge all users to upgrade to the latest version of restic.
Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves backups
via restic and a Windows systems which restores files from the repo. In
addition, the attackers need to be able to create create files with arbitrary
names which are then saved to the restic repo. For example, by creating a file
named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on Linux) and
restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be written to
the parent of the target directory.
We'd like to thank Tyler Spivey for reporting this responsibly!

Enhancement: Add local metadata cache
We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load
all metadata (snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By
default the cache is active, but there's a new global option `--no-cache`
that can be used to disable the cache. By deafult, the cache a standard
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
are loaded. Cache directories for repos that haven't been used recently can
automatically be removed by restic with the `--cleanup-cache` option.
A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that contain
either data or metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy caching of
only the metadata files. The next run of `restic prune` will untangle mixed
files automatically.
