+Each heading starts with that `<version>`, once: the app store shows a release the section(s)

+Fixes for what was reported after 1.0.0 (#22, #24) and small improvements. Nothing changes in
+your backups or settings.
 
 ### Added
 - `occ backup:user:list [location] [user]` shows the user exports on a location, with the manifest
   path `backup:user:restore` expects. Before, that path was only printed once by
   `backup:user:backup` (#22).
+- A "Docs" tab on the admin page, with links to the how-to, the disaster recovery guide and the
+  roadmap. It also shows before the backup key is set up.
+- A label for a backup started with "Back up now" (optional; `occ backup:run -l` already had one).
+  It shows with the restore point.
+- An explanation in the trash of restore points of what "removed by retention policy" means: the
+  policy keeps the newest restore points and the last one of each recent day, week and month, and
+  moves the others to the trash, where they can be brought back until they are deleted
+  permanently. `occ backup:trash` says the same below its list.
 
 ### Changed
+- `occ backup:status`, `backup:list`, `backup:trash` and `backup:browse` show times in the time
+  zone of the daily schedule and name it, as the admin page shows them in the administrator's.
+  Before, they showed the server's UTC, which read as a wrong start time.
+- The admin page no longer says NG Backup is in beta.
 - `occ backup:user:restore` also takes a user id instead of the manifest path, when that user has
   exactly one export on the location. With more, and for a manifest path that is not on the
   location, the error lists that user's exports; for a user without exports it names the
