Hello rusticeans,

we are happy to release rustic 0.11.0! This release introduces some breaking changes. If you use it with an existing config or repository, please take a look at https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/breaking_changes.html.

New features in 0.11.0 are:

• The options to determine which information is stored for nodes have been refactored. Using set-atime, set-ctime, set-devid, set-xattr allows to fine-tune this to your needs.
• The option set-blockdev = "file" allows to backup block devices as normal files allowing to e.g. backup disc-image directly.
• Support for multiple parents has been added.
• Logging has been overworked, see below.
• rustic rewrite is now able to rewrite trees allowing to remove things from existing snapshots.
• Additional to using passwords, rustic is now able to directly use the masterkey. The masterkey can be also exported as QR image allowing for a paper disaster revovery :-) Access mode can be switched any time, see https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/commands/misc/key.html
• warm-up for cold storage has been improved supporting more ways to warm-up and parallel warm-up.
• The latest~N syntax now works for all commands.

For more new features, optimizations and bugfixes, see below.

Thanks a lot to everybody who contributed!
