Bugfix #5003: Fix metadata errors during backup of removable disks on Windows
Since restic 0.17.0, backing up removable disks on Windows could report errors with retrieving metadata like shown below.

This has now been fixed.

Bugfix #5107: Fix metadata error on Windows for backups using VSS
Since restic 0.17.2, when creating a backup on Windows using --use-fs-snapshot, restic would report an error like the following:
error: incomplete metadata for C:\: get EA failed while opening file handle for path \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopyXX\, with: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
This has now been fixed by correctly handling paths that refer to volume shadow copy snapshots.
Enhancement #5096: Allow prune --dry-run without lock
The prune --dry-run --no-lock now allows performing a dry-run without locking the repository. Note that if the repository is modified concurrently, prune may return inaccurate statistics or errors.
Get up and running with Kimi-K2.5, GLM-4.7, DeepSeek, gpt-oss, Qwen, Gemma and other models.
