restic 0.4.0

We're proud to release restic version 0.4.0. This release fixes a few bugs, among others a memory leak in the fuse mount module. Overall, the memory consumption during most operations is reduced. There have been some major changes internally, which will help reducing memory usage even more in future releases.

Starting with this release, we will publish pre-compiled binaries for restic. For the last release (0.3.3), binaries have also been added.
