 This file describes changes relevant to all users that are made in each
 released version of restic from the perspective of the user.
 
+Important Changes in 0.X.Y
+==========================
+
+Small changes:
+--------------
+
+ * Regular status report: We've removed the status report that was printed
+   every 10 seconds when restic is run non-interactively. You can still force
+   reporting the current status by sending a `USR1` signal to the process.

 Important Changes in 0.6.0
