+Bugfix: Restic init ignores "Access Denied" errors when creating an S3 bucket
+
+In restic 0.9.0 through 0.13.0, some permission errors from S3 backends where ignored
+when trying to check the bucket existence, so that manually created buckets with custom permissions
+could be used for backups. This feature was broken in 0.14.0, but is now restored.
