+Version 1.0.8rc1 (not released yet)
+-----------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
+  Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
+  Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
+- progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
+- borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
+  also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
+  (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
+- process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
+  Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting dirents
+  and dispatching to process_symlink.
+- yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so
+- fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
+  was openend. add an error message for this.
+- fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
+  (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
+- hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
+  (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
+
+New features:
+
+- add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
+  to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
+
+  Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
+  special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
+  paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
+  soon as it is input.
+
+Other changes:
+
+- add "borg debug ..." subcommands
+  (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
+- setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
+- remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
+  dataflow direction.
+- vagrant:
+
+  - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
+  - update Debian Wheezy boxes to 7.11

 Debug Commands
 --------------
+
 There are some more commands (all starting with "debug-") which are all
 **not intended for normal use** and **potentially very dangerous** if used incorrectly.
 
+For example, ``borg debug-put-obj`` and ``borg debug-delete-obj`` will only do
+what their name suggests: put objects into repo / delete objects from repo.
+
+Please note:
+
+- they will not update the chunks cache (chunks index) about the object
+- they will not update the manifest (so no automatic chunks index resync is triggered)
+- they will not check whether the object is in use (e.g. before delete-obj)
+- they will not update any metadata which may point to the object
+
 They exist to improve debugging capabilities without direct system access, e.g.
 in case you ever run into some severe malfunction. Use them only if you know
 what you are doing or if a trusted |project_name| developer tells you what to do.
