+### Container Image
+`gcr.io/heptio-images/velero:v1.0.0-alpha.2`
+
+### Highlights
+Our second v1.0 alpha is ready for testing! Please try it out in your non-critial environments. This alpha contains a bunch of bug fixes and smaller enhancements. See the **All Changes** section below for details.
+
+We expect that our next release will be `v1.0.0-beta.1`, meaning that all key features for v1.0.0 will be included. Following that release, we'll continue to fix
+bugs and make minor improvements, and we expect to ship at least one more beta and/or release candidate prior to the general availability of v1.0.0.
+

+* fix setting up restic identifiers when fully-qualified plugin names are used (#1377, @jmontleon)
