+Change: Redesign backend error handling to improve reliability
+
+Restic now downloads pack files in large chunks instead of using a streaming
+download. This prevents failures due to interrupted streams. The `restore`
+command now also retries downloading individual blobs that could not be
+retrieved.
+
+HTTP requests that are stuck for more than two minutes while uploading or
+downloading are now forcibly interrupted. This ensures that stuck requests are
+retried after a short timeout.
+
+Attempts to access a missing or truncated file will no longer be retried. This
+avoids unnecessary retries in those cases. All other backend requests are
+retried for up to 15 minutes. This ensures that temporarily interrupted network
+connections can be tolerated.
+
+If a download yields a corrupt file or blob, then the download will be retried
+once.

+Bugfix: Fix rare failures to retry locking a repository
+
+Restic 0.17.0 could in rare cases fail to retry locking a repository if one of
+the lock files failed to load, resulting in the error:
+
+```
+unable to create lock in backend: circuit breaker open for file <lock/1234567890>
+```
+
+This issue has now been addressed. The error handling now properly retries the
+locking operation. In addition, restic waits a few seconds between locking
+retries to increase chances of successful locking.
