  * #1303: For the MariaDB hook, include only a subset of system data when dumping the "mysql" system
    database (or "all" databases), so the dump is actually restorable. See the documentation for more
    information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/data-sources/mariadb/
+ * #1309: Add a "--quick-stats" flag and corresponding "quick_statistics" option for showing only
+   abbreviated statistics for the "create" action. Borg 1.4.5+ only.
  * Update the KeePassXC credential hook to support KeePassXC's secret service integration. See the
    documentation for more information:
