Thanks for the notification. But AFAICS there are no known incompatibilities, right?

Yes. Python 3.8 is still supported and Python 2.7/3.7 had been dropped in past releases.
Cython code is cleaned up slightly and stop using C++ to improve compatibility with compilers.
Fallback code is cleand up too and start using keyword-only arguments. But Cython used keyword-only arguments for long time. So this affects only users using only fallback implementation.

I'll give 1.1.0rc1 a full platform-testing run with borgbackup today.

Update: the automated tests worked as expected (Linux, BSDs, macOS, OpenIndiana). 🎉
