Thanks for raising this issue!

Is that the right thing to do though? Checking the upgrade notes,
there's a couple of commands to run, and things to check.

I'm afraid if we provide an update path to borgbackup-1.2, people will
not notice the silent upgrade, and their backups may consequently be
broken.
Not a big issue since I'm sure everyone does monthly 'restore attempt'
to ensure the backup validity, right (:

Either way, adding a current.html entry with the upgrade notes would be
quite useful I think. (At least, I appreciated having them in your
email!)
