 ### Fixed
 
-- Fixed issue where repository connect progress bar was clobbering backup/restore operation output.
-- Fixed issue where a `backup create exchange` produced one backup record per data type.
+- Issue where repository connect progress bar was clobbering backup/restore operation output.
+- Issue where a `backup create exchange` produced one backup record per data type.
+- Specifying multiple users in a onedrive backup (ex: `--user a,b,c`) now properly delimits the input along the commas.
