 Changelog
 =========
 
-0.52.0 (2025-11-28)
+0.54.0 (2025-12-03)
 -------------------
 ------------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Send INFO/DEBUG to stdout, WARNING/ERROR to stderr. [Rodos]
+
+  Fixes #182
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+- Docs: update README testing section and add fetch vs pull explanation.
+  [Rodos]
+
+
+0.53.0 (2025-11-30)
+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Case-sensitive username filtering causing silent backup failures.
+  [Rodos]
+
+  GitHub's API accepts usernames in any case but returns canonical case.
+  The case-sensitive comparison in filter_repositories() filtered out all
+  repositories when user-provided case didn't match GitHub's canonical case.
+
+  Changed to case-insensitive comparison.
+
+  Fixes #198
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+- Avoid rewriting unchanged JSON files for labels, milestones, releases,
+  hooks, followers, and following. [Rodos]
+
+  This change reduces unnecessary writes when backing up metadata that changes
+  infrequently. The implementation compares existing file content before writing
+  and skips the write if the content is identical, preserving file timestamps.
+
+  Key changes:
+  - Added json_dump_if_changed() helper that compares content before writing
+  - Uses atomic writes (temp file + rename) for all metadata files
+  - NOT applied to issues/pulls (they use incremental_by_files logic)
+  - Made log messages consistent and past tense ("Saved" instead of "Saving")
+  - Added informative logging showing skip counts
+
+  Fixes #133
+
+
+0.52.0 (2025-11-28)
+-------------------
 - Skip DMCA'd repos which return a 451 response. [Rodos]
 
   Log a warning and the link to the DMCA notice. Continue backing up

 The ``--skip-existing`` argument will skip a backup if the directory already exists, even if the backup in that directory failed (perhaps due to a blocking error). This may result in unexpected missing data in a regular backup.
 
 
+Updates use fetch, not pull
+---------------------------
+
+When updating an existing repository backup, ``github-backup`` uses ``git fetch`` rather than ``git pull``. This is intentional - a backup tool should reliably download data without risk of failure. Using ``git pull`` would require handling merge conflicts, which adds complexity and could cause backups to fail unexpectedly.
+
+With fetch, **all branches and commits are downloaded** safely into remote-tracking branches. The working directory files won't change, but your backup is complete.
+
+If you look at files directly (e.g., ``cat README.md``), you'll see the old content. The new data is in the remote-tracking branches (confusingly named "remote" but stored locally). To view or use the latest files::
+
+    git show origin/main:README.md           # view a file
+    git merge origin/main                    # update working directory
+
+All branches are backed up as remote refs (``origin/main``, ``origin/feature-branch``, etc.).
+
+If you want to browse files directly without merging, consider using ``--bare`` which skips the working directory entirely - the backup is just the git data.
