  4. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  5. .. _archives_tam_vuln:
  6. Pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2023-36811)
  7. ----------------------------------------------------------
  8. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker to
  9. fake archives and potentially indirectly cause backup data loss in the repository.
  10. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  11. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  12. 2. gain write access to the repository
  13. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  14. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  15. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for empty or small archives,
  16. but is unlikely for large archives.
  17. The fix enforces checking the TAM authentication tag of archives at critical
  18. places. Borg now considers archives without TAM as garbage or an attack.
  19. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  20. Below, if we speak of borg 1.2.8, we mean a borg version >= 1.2.8 **or** a
  21. borg version that has the relevant patches for this vulnerability applied
  22. (could be also an older version in that case).
  23. Steps you must take to upgrade a repository (this applies to all kinds of repos
  24. no matter what encryption mode they use, including "none"):
  25. 1. Upgrade all clients using this repository to borg 1.2.8.
  26. Note: it is not required to upgrade a server, except if the server-side borg
  27. is also used as a client (and not just for "borg serve").
  28. Do **not** run ``borg check`` with borg > 1.2.4 before completing the upgrade steps:
  29. - ``borg check`` would complain about archives without a valid archive TAM.
  30. - ``borg check --repair`` would remove such archives!
  31. 2. Do this step on every client using this repo: ``borg upgrade --show-rc --check-tam <repo>``
  32. This will check the manifest TAM authentication setup in the repo and on this client.
  33. The command will exit with rc=0 if all is OK, otherwise with rc=1.
  34. a) If you get "Manifest authentication setup OK for this client and this repository."
  35. and rc=0, continue with 3.
  36. b) If you get some warnings and rc=1, run:
  37. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>``
  38. 3. Run: ``borg upgrade --show-rc --check-archives-tam <repo>``
  39. This will create a report about the TAM status for all archives.
  40. In the last line(s) of the report, it will also report the overall status.
  41. The command will exit with rc=0 if all archives are TAM authenticated or with rc=1
  42. if there are some archives with TAM issues.
  43. If there are no issues and all archives are TAM authenticated, continue with 5.
  44. Archive TAM issues are expected for:
  45. - archives created by borg <1.0.9.
  46. - archives resulting from a borg rename or borg recreate operation (see #7791)
  47. But, important, archive TAM issues could also come from archives created by an attacker.
  48. You should verify that archives with TAM issues are authentic and not malicious
  49. (== have good content, have correct timestamp, can be extracted successfully).
  50. In case you find crappy/malicious archives, you must delete them before proceeding.
  51. In low-risk, trusted environments, you may decide on your own risk to skip step 3
  52. and just trust in everything being OK.
  53. 4. If there are no archives with TAM issues left at this point, you can skip this step.
  54. Run ``borg upgrade --archives-tam <repo>``.
  55. This will unconditionally add a correct archive TAM to all archives not having one.
  56. ``borg check`` would consider TAM-less or invalid-TAM archives as garbage or a potential attack.
  57. To see that all archives are OK now, you can optionally repeat the command from step 3.
  58. 5. Done. Manifest and archives are TAM authenticated now.

  66. .. _hashindex_set_bug:
  67. Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
  68. -------------------------------------------------------
  69. A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829.
  70. The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.
  71. Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption did not
  72. happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions to happen.
  73. Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare (and
  74. also detectable via borg check).
  75. You might be affected if borg crashed with / complained about:
  76. - AssertionError: Corrupted segment reference count - corrupted index or hints
  77. - ObjectNotFound: Object with key ... not found in repository ...
  78. - Index mismatch for key b'...'. (..., ...) != (-1, -1)
  79. - ValueError: stats_against: key contained in self but not in master_index.
  80. Advised procedure to fix any related issue in your indexes/caches:
  81. - install fixed borg code (on client AND server)
  82. - for all of your clients and repos remove the cache by:
  83. borg delete --cache-only YOURREPO
  84. (later, the cache will be re-built automatically)
  85. - for all your repos, rebuild the repo index by:
  86. borg check --repair YOURREPO
  87. This will also check all archives and detect if there is any data-loss issue.
  88. Affected branches / releases:
  89. - fd06497 introduced the bug into 1.1-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.1.x since 1.1.0b4.
  90. - fd06497 introduced the bug into master branch - it affects all borg 1.2.0 alpha releases.
  91. - c5cd882 introduced the bug into 1.0-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.0.x since 1.0.11rc1.
  92. The bug was fixed by:
  93. - 701159a fixes the bug in 1.1-maint branch - will be released with borg 1.1.11.
  94. - fa63150 fixes the bug in master branch - will be released with borg 1.2.0a8.
  95. - 7bb90b6 fixes the bug in 1.0-maint branch. Branch is EOL, no new release is planned as of now.
  96. .. _broken_validator:
  97. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  98. -----------------------------------------
  99. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  100. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  101. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  102. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  103. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  104. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  105. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  106. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  107. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  108. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  109. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  110. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  111. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  112. discarded from the archive.
  113. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  114. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  115. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  116. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  117. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  118. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  119. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  120. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  121. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  122. items are listed.
  123. .. _tam_vuln:
  124. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  125. ----------------------------------------------------------
  126. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  127. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  128. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  129. 2. gain write access to the repository
  130. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  131. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  132. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  133. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  134. for large archives.
  135. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  136. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  137. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  138. Steps you should take:
  139. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  140. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  141. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  142. 4. Done.
  143. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  144. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  145. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  146. be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  147. otherwise.
  148. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  149. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  150. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  151. This attack is mitigated by:
  152. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  153. contain the archive IDs.
  154. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  155. Vulnerability time line:
  156. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  157. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  158. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  159. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  160. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  161. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  162. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  163. -----------------------------
  164. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  165. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  166. archives. See issue #1837.
  167. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  168. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  169. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  170. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  171. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  172. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  173. -----------------------------------
  174. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  175. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  176. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  177. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  178. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  179. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  180. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  181. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  182. Fix::
  183. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  184. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  185. # repair the repo:
  186. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  187. # make sure everything is fixed:
  188. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  189. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  190. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  191. Fix::
  192. # check for corrupt archives:
  193. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  194. # delete the corrupt archives:
  195. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  196. # make sure everything is fixed:
  197. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  198. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  199. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  200. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE
  201. .. _upgradenotes:
  202. Upgrade Notes
  203. =============
  204. borg 1.1.x to 1.2.x
  205. -------------------
  206. Some things can be recommended for the upgrade process from borg 1.1.x
  207. (please also read the important compatibility notes below):
  208. - first upgrade to a recent 1.1.x release - especially if you run some older
  209. 1.1.* or even 1.0.* borg release.
  210. - using that, run at least one `borg create` (your normal backup), `prune`
  211. and especially a `check` to see everything is in a good state.
  212. - check the output of `borg check` - if there is anything special, consider
  213. a `borg check --repair` followed by another `borg check`.
  214. - if everything is fine so far (borg check reports no issues), you can consider
  215. upgrading to 1.2.x. if not, please first fix any already existing issue.
  216. - if you want to play safer, first **create a backup of your borg repository**.
  217. - upgrade to latest borg 1.2.x release (you could use the fat binary from
  218. github releases page)
  219. - borg 1.2.6 has a security fix for the pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability
  220. (CVE-2023-36811), see details and necessary upgrade procedure described above.
  221. - run `borg compact --cleanup-commits` to clean up a ton of 17 bytes long files
  222. in your repo caused by a borg 1.1 bug
  223. - run `borg check` again (now with borg 1.2.x) and check if there is anything
  224. special.
  225. - run `borg info` (with borg 1.2.x) to build the local pre12-meta cache (can
  226. take significant time, but after that it will be fast) - for more details
  227. see below.
  228. - check the compatibility notes (see below) and adapt your scripts, if needed.
  229. - if you run into any issues, please check the github issue tracker before
  230. posting new issues there or elsewhere.
  231. If you follow this procedure, you can help avoiding that we get a lot of
  232. "borg 1.2" issue reports that are not really 1.2 issues, but existed before
  233. and maybe just were not noticed.
  234. Compatibility notes:
  235. - matching of path patterns has been aligned with borg storing relative paths.
  236. Borg archives file paths without leading slashes. Previously, include/exclude
  237. patterns could contain leading slashes. You should check your patterns and
  238. remove leading slashes.
  239. - dropped support / testing for older Pythons, minimum requirement is 3.8.
  240. In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.8, consider using our binary,
  241. which does not need an external Python interpreter. Or continue using
  242. borg 1.1.x, which is still supported.
  243. - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
  244. - mount: the default for --numeric-ids is False now (same as borg extract)
  245. - borg create --noatime is deprecated. Not storing atime is the default behaviour
  246. now (use --atime if you want to store the atime).
  247. - --prefix is deprecated, use -a / --glob-archives, see #6806
  248. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats.
  249. Previously, "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  250. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  251. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  252. and the default is now "mtime".
  253. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  254. - create/recreate --list: file status for all files used to get announced *AFTER*
  255. the file (with borg < 1.2). Now, file status is announced *BEFORE* the file
  256. contents are processed. If the file status changes later (e.g. due to an error
  257. or a content change), the updated/final file status will be printed again.
  258. - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
  259. - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
  260. - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
  261. - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
  262. - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
  263. - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
  264. - removed BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var.
  265. to use borg you must implement one of these 2 scenarios:
  266. - 1) the combination of FQDN and result of uuid.getnode() must be unique
  267. and stable (this should be the case for almost everybody, except when
  268. having duplicate FQDN *and* MAC address or all-zero MAC address)
  269. - 2) if you are aware that 1) is not the case for you, you must set
  270. BORG_HOST_ID env var to something unique.
  271. - exit with 128 + signal number, #5161.
  272. if you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to update
  273. them to check for >= 128.

  339. Version 1.2.6 (2023-08-31)
  340. --------------------------
  341. Fixes:
  342. - The upgrade procedure docs as published with borg 1.2.5 did not work, if the
  343. repository had archives resulting from a borg rename or borg recreate operation.
  344. The updated docs now use BORG_WORKAROUNDS=ignore_invalid_archive_tam at some
  345. places to avoid that issue, #7791.
  346. See: fix pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2023-36811),
  347. details and necessary upgrade procedure described above.
  348. Other changes:
  349. - updated 1.2.5 changelog entry: 1.2.5 already has the fix for rename/recreate.
  350. - remove cython restrictions. recommended is to build with cython 0.29.latest,
  351. because borg 1.2.x uses this since years and it is very stable.
  352. you can also try to build with cython 3.0.x, there is a good chance that it works.
  353. as a 3rd option, we also bundle the `*.c` files cython outputs in the release
  354. pypi package, so you can also just use these and not need cython at all.
  355. Version 1.2.5 (2023-08-30)
  356. --------------------------
  357. Fixes:
  358. - Security: fix pre-1.2.5 archives spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2023-36811),
  359. see details and necessary upgrade procedure described above.
  360. - rename/recreate: correctly update resulting archive's TAM, see #7791
  361. - create: do not try to read parent dir of recursion root, #7746

  369. - improve argparse validator error messages
  370. New features:
  371. - mount: make up volname if not given (macOS), #7690.
  372. macFUSE supports a volname mount option to give what finder displays on the
  373. desktop / in the directory view. if the user did not specify it, we make
  374. something up, because otherwise it would be "macFUSE Volume 0 (Python)" and
  375. hide the mountpoint directory name.
  376. - BORG_WORKAROUNDS=authenticated_no_key to extract from authenticated repos
  377. without key, #7700

  404. - diff: JSON strings in diff output are now sorted alphabetically
  405. Bug fixes:
  406. - xattrs: fix namespace processing on FreeBSD, #6997
  407. - diff: fix path related bug seen when addressing deferred items.
  408. - debug get-obj/put-obj: always give chunkid as cli param, see #7290
  409. (this is an incompatible change, see also borg debug id-hash)
  410. - extract: fix mtime when ResourceFork xattr is set (macOS specific), #7234
  411. - recreate: without --chunker-params, do not re-chunk, #7337
  412. - recreate: when --target is given, do not detect "nothing to do".
  413. use case: borg recreate -a src --target dst can be used to make a copy
  414. of an archive inside the same repository, #7254.
  415. - set .hardlink_master for ALL hardlinkable items, #7175
  416. - locking: fix host, pid, tid order.
  417. tid (thread id) must be parsed as hex from lock file name.
  418. - update development.lock.txt, including a setuptools security fix, #7227
  419. Other changes:
  420. - requirements: allow msgpack 1.0.5 also
  421. - upgrade Cython to 0.29.33
  422. - hashindex minor fixes, refactor, tweaks, tests

  433. - add same_ts_ns function and use it for relaxed timestamp comparisons
  434. - "auto" compressor tests: don't assume a specific size,
  435. do not assume zlib is better than lz4, #7363
  436. - add test for extracted directory mtime
  437. - vagrant:
  438. - upgrade local freebsd 12.1 box -> generic/freebsd13 box (13.1)
  439. - use pythons > 3.8 which work on freebsd 13.1
  440. - pyenv: also install python 3.11.1 for testing
  441. - pyenv: use python 3.10.1, 3.10.0 build is broken on freebsd
  442. Version 1.2.3 (2022-12-24)

  473. - create --paths-from-(stdin|command): normalize paths, #6778
  474. - secure_erase: avoid collateral damage, #6768.
  475. If a hardlink copy of a repo was made and a new repo config shall be saved,

  565. - avoid losing the key (potential use-after-free). this never could happen in

  582. - fix race conditions in internal SaveFile function, #6306 #6028
  583. - implement internal safe_unlink (was: truncate_and_unlink) function more safely:
  584. usually it does not truncate any more, only under "disk full" circumstances
  585. and only if there is only one hardlink.
  586. see: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/discussions/6286
  587. Other changes:
  588. - info: use a pre12-meta cache to accelerate stats for borg < 1.2 archives.
  589. the first time borg info is invoked on a borg 1.1 repo, it can take a
  590. rather long time computing and caching some stats values for 1.1 archives,
  591. which borg 1.2 archives have in their archive metadata structure.

  1121. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  1122. writing command.
  1123. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  1124. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  1125. more robustness.
  1126. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  1127. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long

  1176. ---------------------------
  1177. Compatibility notes:
  1178. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  1179. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  1180. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1181. There is one exception though:
  1182. If you upgrade from an unpatched borg < 1.0.9, please read that section
  1183. above: "Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)"
  1184. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1185. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1186. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1187. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1188. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1189. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1190. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1191. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1192. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1193. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1194. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  1195. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  1196. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  1197. work around the WSL issue.
  1198. - 1.1.14 changes return codes due to a bug fix:
  1199. In case you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to
  1200. update them to check for >= 128 (as documented since long).
  1201. - 1.1.15 drops python 3.4 support, minimum requirement is 3.5 now.
  1202. - 1.1.17 install_requires the "packaging" pypi package now.
  1203. New features:
  1204. - check --repair: significantly speed up search for next valid object in segment, #6022
  1205. - create: add retry_erofs workaround for O_NOATIME issue on volume shadow copies in WSL1, #6024

  1222. - do not require BORG_CONFIG_DIR if BORG_{SECURITY,KEYS}_DIR are set, #5979
  1223. - atomically create the CACHE_TAG file, #6028
  1224. - deal with the SaveFile/SyncFile race, docs, see #6176 5c5b59bc9
  1225. - avoid expanding path into LHS of formatting operation + tests, #6064 #6063
  1226. - repository: quota / compactable computation fixes, #6119.
  1227. This is mainly to keep the repo code in sync with borg 1.2. As borg 1.1
  1228. compacts immediately, there was not really an issue with this in 1.1.
  1229. - fix transaction rollback: use files cache filename as found in txn.active, #6353
  1230. - do not load files cache for commands not using it, fixes #5673
  1231. - fix scp repo url parsing for ip v6 addrs, #6526

  1247. - delete: add repository id and location to prompt
  1248. - compact segments: improve freeable / freed space log output, #5679
  1249. - if ensure_dir() fails, give more informative error message, #5952

  1311. Version 1.1.17 (2021-07-12)
  1312. ---------------------------
  1313. Compatibility notes:
  1314. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  1315. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  1316. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1317. There is one exception though:
  1318. If you upgrade from an unpatched borg < 1.0.9, please read that section
  1319. above: "Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)"
  1320. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1321. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1322. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1323. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1324. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1325. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1326. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1327. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1328. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1329. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1330. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  1331. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  1332. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  1333. work around the WSL issue.
  1334. - 1.1.14 changes return codes due to a bug fix:
  1335. In case you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to
  1336. update them to check for >= 128 (as documented since long).
  1337. - 1.1.15 drops python 3.4 support, minimum requirement is 3.5 now.
  1338. - 1.1.17 install_requires the "packaging" pypi package now.
  1339. Fixes:
  1340. - pyinstaller dir-mode: fix pyi detection / LIBPATH treatment, #5897
  1341. - handle crash due to kill stale lock race, #5828
  1342. - fix BORG_CACHE_DIR crashing borg if empty, #5216
  1343. - create --dry-run: fix display of kept tagfile, #5834
  1344. - fix missing parameter in "did not consistently fail" msg, #5822
  1345. - missing / healed chunks: always tell chunk ID, #5704
  1346. - benchmark: make sure cleanup happens even on exceptions, #5630
  1347. New features:
  1348. - implement BORG_SELFTEST env variable, #5871.
  1349. this can be used to accelerate borg startup a bit. not recommended for
  1350. normal usage, but borg mass hosters with a lot of borg invocations can
  1351. save some resources with this. on my laptop, this saved ~100ms cpu time
  1352. (sys+user) per borg command invocation.
  1353. - implement BORG_LIBC env variable to give the libc filename, #5870.
  1354. you can use this if a borg does not find your libc.
  1355. - check: add progress indicator for archive check.
  1356. - allow --files-cache=size (not recommended, make sure you know what you do)
  1357. Other changes:
  1358. - Python 3.10 now officially supported!
  1359. we test on py310-dev on github CI since a while and now also on the vagrant
  1360. machines, so it should work ok.
  1361. - github CI: test on py310 (again)
  1362. - get rid of distutils, use packaging and setuptools.
  1363. distutils is deprecated and gives warnings on py 3.10.
  1364. - setup.py: rename "clean" to "clean2" to avoid shadowing the "clean" command.
  1365. - remove libc filename fallback for the BSDs (there is no "usual" name)
  1366. - cleanup flake8 checks, fix some pep8 violations.
  1367. - docs building: replace deprecated function ".add_stylesheet()" for Sphinx 4 compatibility
  1368. - docs:
  1369. - add a hint on sleeping computer and ssh connections, #5301
  1370. - update the documentation on hacked backup client, #5480
  1371. - improve docs/FAQ about append-only remote repos, #5497
  1372. - complement the documentation for pattern files and exclude files, #5520
  1373. - "filename with spaces" example added to exclude file, #5236
  1374. note: no whitespace escaping needed, processed by borg.
  1375. - add info on renaming repositories, #5240
  1376. - clarify borg check --verify-data, #5808
  1377. - add notice about defective hardware to check documentation, #5753

  1380. - clarify "you will need key and passphrase" borg init warning, #4622
  1381. - pull mode: add some warnings, #5827
  1382. - mention tar --compare (compare archive to fs files), #5880
  1383. - fix typos, backport of #5597
  1384. - vagrant:
  1385. - add py3.7.11 for binary build, also add 3.10-dev.
  1386. - use latest Cython 0.29.23 for py310 compat fixes.
  1387. - more RAM for openindiana upgrade plan resolver, it just hangs (swaps?) if
  1388. there is too little RAM.
  1389. - fix install_pyenv to adapt to recent changes in pyenv (same as in master now).
  1390. - use generic/netbsd9 box, copied from master branch.
  1391. Version 1.1.16 (2021-03-23)
  1392. ---------------------------
  1393. Fixes:
  1394. - setup.py: add special openssl prefix for Apple M1 compatibility
  1395. - do not recurse into duplicate roots, #5603
  1396. - remove empty shadowed_segments lists, #5275, #5614
  1397. - fix libpython load error when borg fat binary / dir-based binary is invoked
  1398. via a symlink by upgrading pyinstaller to v4.2, #5688
  1399. - config: accept non-int value (like 500M or 100G) for max_segment_size or
  1400. storage_quota, #5639.
  1401. please note: when setting a non-int value for this in a repo config,
  1402. using the repo will require borg >= 1.1.16.
  1403. New features:
  1404. - bundled msgpack: drop support for old buffer protocol to support Python 3.10
  1405. - verbose files cache logging via --debug-topic=files_cache, #5659.
  1406. Use this if you suspect that borg does not detect unmodified files as expected.
  1407. - create/extract: add --noxattrs and --noacls option, #3955.
  1408. when given with borg create, borg will not get xattrs / ACLs from input files
  1409. (and thus, it will not archive xattrs / ACLs). when given with borg extract,
  1410. borg will not read xattrs / ACLs from archive and will not set xattrs / ACLs
  1411. on extracted files.
  1412. - diff: add --json-lines option, #3765
  1413. - check: debug log segment filename
  1414. - borg debug dump-hints
  1415. Other changes:
  1416. - Tab completion support for additional archives for 'borg delete'

  1427. - update docs for dev environment installation instructions, #5643
  1428. - fix grammar in faq
  1429. - recommend running tests only on installed versions for setup
  1430. - add link back to git-installation
  1431. - remove /var/cache exclusion in example commands, #5625.
  1432. This is generally a poor idea and shouldn't be promoted through examples.
  1433. - add repology.org badge with current packaging status
  1434. - explain hash collision
  1435. - add unsafe workaround to use an old repo copy, #5722
  1436. Version 1.1.15 (2020-12-25)

  1439. - extract:
  1440. - improve exception handling when setting xattrs, #5092.
  1441. - emit a warning message giving the path, xattr key and error message.
  1442. - continue trying to restore other xattrs and bsdflags of the same file
  1443. after an exception with xattr-setting happened.

  1452. - allow appending the files cache filename with BORG_FILES_CACHE_SUFFIX env var
  1453. Other changes:

  1538. Compatibility notes:
  1539. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  1540. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  1541. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1542. There is one exception though:
  1543. If you upgrade from an unpatched borg < 1.0.9, please read that section
  1544. above: "Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)"
  1545. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1546. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1547. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1548. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1549. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1550. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1551. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1552. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1553. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1554. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1555. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  1556. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  1557. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  1558. work around the WSL issue.
  1559. Fixes:

  1752. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  1753. --------------------------
  1754. Compatibility notes:
  1755. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  1756. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  1757. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1758. There is one exception though:
  1759. If you upgrade from an unpatched borg < 1.0.9, please read that section
  1760. above: "Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)"
  1761. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1762. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1763. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1764. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1765. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1766. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1767. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1768. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1769. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1770. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1771. Fixes:
  1772. - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903
  1773. "default_permissions" is now enforced by borg by default to let the

  1977. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  1978. --------------------------
  1979. Compatibility notes:
  1980. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  1981. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  1982. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1983. There is one exception though:
  1984. If you upgrade from an unpatched borg < 1.0.9, please read that section
  1985. above: "Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)"
  1986. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1987. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1988. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1989. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1990. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1991. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1992. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1993. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1994. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1995. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1996. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  1997. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  1998. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  1999. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  2000. be used:
  2001. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  2002. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  2003. Fixes:
  2004. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  2005. See the more detailed notes close to the top of this document.
  2006. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  2007. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  2008. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  2009. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  2010. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  2011. New features:
  2012. - added zstd compression. try it!
  2013. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  2014. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  2015. Other changes:
  2016. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  2017. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  2018. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  2019. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  2020. - updated fish/bash completions
  2021. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  2022. - docs:
  2023. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  2024. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  2025. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  2026. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  2027. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  2028. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  2029. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  2030. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  2031. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  2032. - blake2 was already bundled
  2033. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  2034. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  2035. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  2036. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  2037. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  2038. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  2039. --------------------------
  2040. Fixes:
  2041. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  2042. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  2043. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  2044. controls post-authentication.
  2045. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  2046. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  2047. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  2048. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  2049. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  2050. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  2051. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  2052. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  2053. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  2054. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  2055. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  2056. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  2057. New features:
  2058. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  2059. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  2060. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  2061. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  2062. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  2063. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  2064. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  2065. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  2066. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  2067. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  2068. Other changes:
  2069. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  2070. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  2071. - docs:
  2072. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  2073. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  2074. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  2075. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  2076. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  2077. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  2078. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  2079. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  2080. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  2081. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  2082. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  2083. - update release checklist about security fixes
  2084. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  2085. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  2086. bsdflags, #3239
  2087. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  2088. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  2089. --------------------------
  2090. Fixes:
  2091. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  2092. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  2093. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  2094. handling for stat() call, #3209
  2095. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  2096. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  2097. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  2098. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  2099. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  2100. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  2101. New features:
  2102. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  2103. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  2104. Other changes:
  2105. - docs:
  2106. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  2107. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  2108. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  2109. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  2110. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  2111. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  2112. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  2113. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  2114. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  2115. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  2116. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  2117. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  2118. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  2119. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  2120. --------------------------
  2121. Compatibility notes:
  2122. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  2123. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  2124. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  2125. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  2126. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  2127. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  2128. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  2129. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  2130. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  2131. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  2132. speed up backup creation.
  2133. Fixes:
  2134. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  2135. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  2136. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  2137. these archives, see also #3157.
  2138. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  2139. slowness, #3130
  2140. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  2141. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  2142. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  2143. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  2144. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  2145. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  2146. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  2147. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  2148. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  2149. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  2150. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  2151. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  2152. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  2153. New features:
  2154. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  2155. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  2156. Other changes:
  2157. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  2158. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  2159. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  2160. - docs:
  2161. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  2162. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  2163. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  2164. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  2165. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  2166. --------------------------
  2167. Compatibility notes:
  2168. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  2169. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  2170. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  2171. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  2172. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  2173. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  2174. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  2175. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  2176. Fixes:
  2177. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  2178. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  2179. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  2180. Other changes:
  2181. - docs:
  2182. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  2183. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  2184. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  2185. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  2186. -----------------------------
  2187. Compatibility notes:
  2188. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  2189. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  2190. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  2191. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  2192. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  2193. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  2194. New features:
  2195. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  2196. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  2197. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  2198. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  2199. Fixes:
  2200. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  2201. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  2202. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  2203. Other changes:
  2204. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  2205. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  2206. - vagrant:
  2207. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  2208. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  2209. - docs:
  2210. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  2211. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  2212. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  2213. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  2214. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  2215. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  2216. -----------------------------
  2217. New features:
  2218. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  2219. Fixes:
  2220. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  2221. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  2222. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  2223. Other changes:
  2224. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  2225. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  2226. - docs:
  2227. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  2228. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  2229. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  2230. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  2231. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  2232. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  2233. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  2234. -----------------------------
  2235. Compatibility notes:
  2236. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  2237. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  2238. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  2239. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  2240. and the default is now "mtime".
  2241. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  2242. New features:
  2243. - None.
  2244. Fixes:
  2245. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  2246. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  2247. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  2248. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  2249. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  2250. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  2251. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  2252. Other changes:
  2253. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  2254. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  2255. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  2256. - delete various nogil and threading related lines
  2257. - coala / pylint related improvements
  2258. - docs:
  2259. - renew asciinema/screencasts, #669

  2327. ----------------------------
  2328. Compatibility notes:
  2329. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  2330. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  2331. an append-only repository.
  2332. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  2333. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  2334. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  2335. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  2336. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  2337. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  2338. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  2339. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  2340. not affect scripts.
  2341. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  2342. repositories they are.
  2343. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  2344. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  2345. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  2346. New features:
  2347. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  2348. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  2349. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  2350. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  2351. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  2352. - repository: index and hints files
  2353. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  2354. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  2355. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  2356. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  2357. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  2358. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  2359. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  2360. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  2361. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  2362. - borg export-tar, #2519
  2363. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  2364. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  2365. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  2366. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  2367. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  2368. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  2369. Fixes:
  2370. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  2371. reporting, #2496
  2372. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  2373. error message when parsing fails.
  2374. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  2375. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  2376. - FUSE:
  2377. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  2378. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  2379. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  2380. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  2381. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  2382. - use decrypted cache

  2396. - repository: truncate segments (and also some other files) before unlinking, #2557
  2397. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  2398. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  2399. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  2400. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  2401. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  2402. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests

  2684. ----------------------------
  2685. Compatibility notes:
  2686. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  2687. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.

  2708. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  2709. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  2710. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  2711. Other changes:
  2712. - borg recreate:
  2713. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  2740. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  2741. - tests:
  2742. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  2743. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last

  3020. New features:
  3021. - added BORG_PASSCOMMAND environment variable, #2573
  3022. - add minimal version of in repository mandatory feature flags, #2134
  3023. This should allow us to make sure older borg versions can be cleanly
  3024. prevented from doing operations that are no longer safe because of
  3025. repository format evolution. This allows more fine grained control than
  3026. just incrementing the manifest version. So for example a change that
  3027. still allows new archives to be created but would corrupt the repository
  3028. when an old version tries to delete an archive or check the repository
  3029. would add the new feature to the check and delete set but leave it out
  3030. of the write set.
  3031. - borg delete --force --force to delete severely corrupted archives, #1975
  3032. Other changes:
  3033. - embrace y2038 issue to support 32bit platforms
  3034. - be more clear that this is a "beyond repair" case, #2427
  3035. - key file names: limit to 100 characters and remove colons from host name

  3052. - document borg init behaviour via append-only borg serve, #2440
  3053. - be clear about what buzhash is used for (chunking) and want it is not
  3054. used for (deduplication)- also say already in the readme that we use a
  3055. cryptohash for dedupe, so people don't worry, #2390

  3064. - enhance travis setuptools_scm situation
  3065. - install fakeroot for Linux
  3066. - add test for borg delete --force
  3067. - enable remote tests on cygwin (the cygwin issue that caused these tests
  3068. to break was fixed in cygwin at least since cygwin 2.8, maybe even since
  3069. 2.7.0).
  3070. - remove skipping the noatime tests on GNU/Hurd, #2710
  3071. - fix borg import issue, add comment, #2718
  3072. - include attic.tar.gz when installing the package
  3073. also: add include_package_data=True

  3075. ---------------------------
  3076. Bug fixes:
  3077. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,

  3079. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  3080. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  3081. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  3082. New features:
  3083. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  3084. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  3085. ``--qr-html`` option.
  3086. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  3087. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  3088. "key export" files and key files.
  3089. Other changes:
  3090. - docs:
  3091. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  3092. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  3093. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  3094. Version 1.0.10rc1 (2017-01-29)
  3095. ------------------------------
  3096. Bug fixes:
  3097. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  3098. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  3099. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  3100. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  3101. current file, #1993
  3102. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  3103. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  3104. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  3105. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  3106. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  3116. - xattr: ignore empty names returned by llistxattr(2) et al
  3117. - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
  3118. SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
  3119. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  3120. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)
  3121. - officially support Python 3.6 (setup.py: add Python 3.6 qualifier)

  3133. - fix xattr test race condition, #2047
  3134. - setup.cfg: fix pytest deprecation warning, #2050
  3135. - docs:
  3136. - language clarification - VM backup FAQ
  3137. - borg create: document how to backup stdin, #2013
  3138. - borg upgrade: fix incorrect title levels
  3139. - add CVE numbers for issues fixed in 1.0.9, #2106
  3140. - fix typos (taken from Debian package patch)
  3141. - remote: include data hexdump in "unexpected RPC data" error message
  3142. - remote: log SSH command line at debug level
  3143. - API_VERSION: use numberspaces, #2023
  3144. - remove .github from pypi package, #2051
  3145. - add pip and setuptools to requirements file, #2030
  3146. - SyncFile: fix use of fd object after close (cosmetic)
  3147. - Manifest.in: simplify, exclude \*.{so,dll,orig}, #2066
  3148. - ignore posix_fadvise errors in repository.py, #2095
  3149. (works around issues with docker on ARM)
  3150. - make LoggedIO.close_segment reentrant, avoid reentrance
  3151. Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
  3152. --------------------------
  3153. Security fixes:
  3154. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  3155. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  3156. take.
  3157. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  3158. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  3159. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  3160. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  3161. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  3162. Bug fixes:
  3163. - borg check:
  3164. - rebuild manifest if it's corrupted
  3165. - skip corrupted chunks during manifest rebuild
  3166. - fix TypeError in integrity error handler, #1903, #1894
  3167. - fix location parser for archives with @ char (regression introduced in 1.0.8), #1930
  3168. - fix wrong duration/timestamps if system clock jumped during a create
  3169. - fix progress display not updating if system clock jumps backwards
  3170. - fix checkpoint interval being incorrect if system clock jumps
  3171. Other changes:

  3182. - fixed build_usage not generating includes for debug commands
  3183. Version 1.0.9rc1 (2016-11-27)
  3184. -----------------------------
  3185. Bug fixes:
  3186. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  3187. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  3188. files in next backup), #1860.
  3189. - borg check:
  3190. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
  3191. - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is
  3192. *completely* empty, #1815.
  3193. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  3194. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  3195. New features:
  3196. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  3197. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  3198. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  3199. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  3200. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  3201. Other changes:
  3202. - docs:
  3203. - display README correctly on PyPI
  3204. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, fixes #1825
  3205. - different pattern matching for --exclude, #1779

  3215. - add FAQ about security
  3216. - move fork differences to FAQ
  3217. - add more details about resource usage
  3218. - tests: skip remote tests on cygwin, #1268
  3219. - travis:
  3220. - allow OS X failures until the brew cask osxfuse issue is fixed
  3221. - caskroom osxfuse-beta gone, it's osxfuse now (3.5.3)
  3222. - vagrant:
  3223. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.3
  3224. - remove llfuse from tox.ini at a central place
  3225. - do not try to install llfuse on centos6
  3226. - fix FUSE test for darwin, #1546
  3227. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  3228. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  3229. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  3230. --------------------------
  3231. Bug fixes:
  3232. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  3233. New features:
  3234. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  3235. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  3236. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  3237. Other changes:
  3238. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  3239. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  3240. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  3241. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  3242. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  3243. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  3244. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  3245. - docs:
  3246. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  3247. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  3248. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  3249. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  3250. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  3251. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  3252. - vagrant / tests:
  3253. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  3254. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  3255. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  3256. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  3257. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  3258. -----------------------------
  3259. Bug fixes:
  3260. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  3261. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  3262. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  3263. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  3264. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  3265. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  3266. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  3267. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  3268. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  3269. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  3270. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  3271. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before repository
  3272. was opened. Add an error message for this.
  3273. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  3274. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  3275. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  3276. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  3277. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  3278. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  3279. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  3280. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  3281. #1684
  3282. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  3283. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  3284. New features:
  3285. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  3286. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  3287. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  3288. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  3289. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  3290. soon as it is input.
  3291. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  3292. #1352
  3293. Other changes:
  3294. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  3295. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  3296. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  3297. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  3298. dataflow direction.
  3299. - improved messages / error reporting:
  3300. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  3301. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  3302. #1572
  3303. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  3304. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  3305. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  3306. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  3307. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  3308. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  3309. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  3310. - docs:
  3311. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  3312. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  3313. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  3314. - add bestpractices badge
  3315. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561

  3317. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  3318. - add contribution guidelines for developers
  3319. - development.rst: add sphinx_rtd_theme to the sphinx install command
  3320. - adjust border color in borg.css
  3321. - add debug-info usage help file
  3322. - internals.rst: fix typos
  3323. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  3324. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  3325. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  3326. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  3327. - tests:
  3328. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  3329. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  3330. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  3331. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  3332. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  3333. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  3334. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  3335. --------------------------
  3336. Security fixes:
  3337. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  3338. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  3339. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  3340. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  3341. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  3342. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  3343. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  3344. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  3345. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  3346. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  3347. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  3348. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  3349. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  3350. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  3351. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  3352. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  3353. Bug fixes:
  3354. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  3355. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  3356. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  3357. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  3358. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  3359. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  3360. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  3361. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  3362. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  3363. New features:
  3364. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  3365. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  3366. Other changes:
  3367. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  3368. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  3369. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  3370. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  3371. -----------------------------
  3372. Bug fixes:
  3373. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  3374. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  3375. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  3376. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  3377. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  3378. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  3379. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  3380. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  3381. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  3382. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  3383. these would never be cleaned up.
  3384. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  3385. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  3386. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  3387. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  3388. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  3389. path being a integer FD
  3390. Other changes:
  3391. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  3392. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  3393. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  3394. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  3395. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  3396. real problem.
  3397. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  3398. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  3399. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  3400. - docs:
  3401. - document archive limitation, #1452
  3402. - improve prune examples
  3403. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  3404. -----------------------------
  3405. Bug fixes:
  3406. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  3407. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  3408. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  3409. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  3410. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  3411. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  3412. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  3413. to 20, #1338
  3414. - FUSE:
  3415. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  3416. - always create a root dir, #1125
  3417. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  3418. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  3419. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  3420. New features:
  3421. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  3422. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  3423. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  3424. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  3425. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  3426. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  3427. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  3428. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  3429. server), #1291.
  3430. Other changes:
  3431. - Vagrantfile:
  3432. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  3433. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  3434. - tests:
  3435. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  3436. - docs:
  3437. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  3438. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  3439. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  3440. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  3441. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  3442. - added platform feature matrix
  3443. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  3444. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  3445. --------------------------
  3446. Bug fixes:
  3447. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  3448. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  3449. Other changes:
  3450. - tests:
  3451. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  3452. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  3453. - docs:
  3454. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  3455. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  3456. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  3457. -----------------------------
  3458. New features:
  3459. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  3460. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  3461. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  3462. Bug fixes:
  3463. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  3464. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  3465. repository code.
  3466. - borg mount (FUSE):
  3467. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  3468. #1295
  3469. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  3470. used), #1302. (*)
  3471. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  3472. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  3473. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  3474. Other changes:
  3475. - tests:
  3476. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  3477. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  3478. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  3479. - docs:
  3480. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  3481. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  3482. Notes:
  3483. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  3484. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  3485. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  3486. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  3487. repair was done with an older borg version.
  3488. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  3489. --------------------------
  3490. Bug fixes:
  3491. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  3492. Other changes:
  3493. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  3494. - add release helper scripts
  3495. - Vagrantfile:
  3496. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  3497. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  3498. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  3499. --------------------------
  3500. New features:
  3501. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  3502. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  3503. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  3504. practically usable.
  3505. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  3506. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  3507. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  3508. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  3509. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  3510. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  3511. Bug fixes:
  3512. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  3513. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  3514. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  3515. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  3516. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  3517. transaction rollback to clean up).
  3518. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  3519. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  3520. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  3521. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  3522. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  3523. error reporting.
  3524. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  3525. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  3526. sync the containing directory.
  3527. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  3528. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  3529. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  3530. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  3531. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  3532. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  3533. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  3534. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  3535. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  3536. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  3537. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  3538. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  3539. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  3540. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  3541. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  3542. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  3543. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  3544. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  3545. - borg delete:
  3546. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  3547. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  3548. - borg check:
  3549. - make borg check work for empty repo
  3550. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  3551. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  3552. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  3553. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  3554. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  3555. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  3556. - tests:
  3557. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  3558. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  3559. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  3560. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  3561. Other changes:
  3562. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  3563. - docs / help:
  3564. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  3565. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  3566. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  3567. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  3568. - document sshd settings, #545
  3569. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  3570. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  3571. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  3572. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  3573. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  3574. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  3575. - update cygwin installation docs
  3576. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  3577. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  3578. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  3579. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  3580. - tests: add tests for format_line
  3581. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  3582. - Vagrantfile:
  3583. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  3584. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  3585. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  3586. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  3587. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  3588. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  3589. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  3590. --------------------------
  3591. Bug fixes:
  3592. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  3593. a prune run), #997
  3594. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  3595. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  3596. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  3597. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  3598. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  3599. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  3600. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  3601. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  3602. space), #1063
  3603. Other changes:
  3604. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  3605. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  3606. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  3607. - docs / help:
  3608. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  3609. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  3610. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  3611. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  3612. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  3613. --------------------------
  3614. Bug fixes:
  3615. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  3616. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  3617. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  3618. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  3619. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  3620. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  3621. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  3622. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  3623. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  3624. a overflow would have occurred.
  3625. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  3626. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  3627. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  3628. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  3629. - workaround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  3630. Other changes:
  3631. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  3632. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  3633. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  3634. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  3635. - docs:
  3636. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  3637. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  3638. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  3639. --------------------------
  3640. New features:
  3641. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  3642. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  3643. also:
  3644. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  3645. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  3646. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  3647. possibly CIFS).
  3648. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  3649. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  3650. this on his own.
  3651. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  3652. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  3653. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  3654. Bug fixes:
  3655. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  3656. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  3657. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  3658. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  3659. - fix build on illumos
  3660. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivatives)
  3661. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  3662. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  3663. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  3664. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  3665. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  3666. instead, #791
  3667. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  3668. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  3669. #798
  3670. Other changes:
  3671. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  3672. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  3673. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  3674. - docs:
  3675. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  3676. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  3677. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  3678. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  3679. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  3680. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  3681. --------------------------
  3682. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  3683. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  3684. check your backup logs.
  3685. Compatibility notes:
  3686. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  3687. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  3688. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  3689. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  3690. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  3691. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  3692. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  3693. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  3694. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  3695. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  3696. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  3697. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  3698. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  3699. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  3700. use --one-file-system instead
  3701. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  3702. - -p now is same as --progress
  3703. - -P now is same as --prefix
  3704. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  3705. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  3706. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  3707. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  3708. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  3709. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  3710. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  3711. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  3712. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  3713. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  3714. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  3715. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  3716. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  3717. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  3718. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  3719. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  3720. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  3721. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  3722. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  3723. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  3724. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  3725. usage).
  3726. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  3727. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  3728. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  3729. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  3730. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  3731. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  3732. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  3733. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  3734. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  3735. New features:
  3736. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  3737. Bug fixes:
  3738. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  3739. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  3740. Other changes:
  3741. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  3742. - docs:
  3743. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  3744. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  3745. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698
  3746. - FAQ: how to limit bandwidth
  3747. Version 1.0.0rc2 (2016-02-28)
  3748. -----------------------------
  3749. New features:
  3750. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  3751. - borg list --list-format
  3752. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  3753. Bug fixes:
  3754. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  3755. - add a simple archivename validator, #680

  3760. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  3761. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  3762. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  3763. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.

  3820. ---------------------------
  3821. Compatibility notes:
  3822. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  3823. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  3824. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  3825. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  3826. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  3827. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  3828. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  3829. Bug fixes:
  3830. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  3843. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  3844. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  3845. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  3846. - support different styles for patterns:
  3847. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  3848. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  3849. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  3850. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  3851. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  3852. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  3853. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  3860. Other changes:
  3861. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  3862. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  3863. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  3864. fixes #569
  3865. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  3866. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  3867. than debian7
  3868. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  3869. - docs:

  3884. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  3885. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  3886. ---------------------------
  3887. Compatibility notes:
  3888. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  3889. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  3890. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  3891. option.
  3892. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  3893. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  3894. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  3895. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  3896. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  3897. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  3898. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  3899. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  3900. Bug fixes:
  3901. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  3902. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  3903. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285

  3910. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  3911. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  3912. - include system info below traceback, #324
  3913. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  3914. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  3915. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  3916. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  3917. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  3918. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  3919. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  3920. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  3921. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  3922. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  3923. - more progress indicators, #394
  3924. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  3925. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  4144. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  4145. ---------------------------
  4146. Compatibility notes:
  4147. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  4148. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  4149. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  4150. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  4151. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  4152. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  4153. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  4154. Deprecations:
  4155. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  4156. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  4157. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  4158. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  4159. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  4160. (which is the default).
  4161. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  4162. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  4163. New features:
  4164. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  4165. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  4166. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  4167. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  4168. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  4169. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  4170. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  4171. Bug fixes:
  4172. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  4173. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  4174. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  4175. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  4176. the whole file, fixes #158.
  4177. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  4178. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  4179. Other changes:
  4180. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  4181. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  4182. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  4183. - more tests for archiver
  4184. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  4185. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  4186. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  4187. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  4188. - travis CI: use requirements file
  4189. - improved docs:
  4190. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  4191. - update docs about compression
  4192. - update development docs about fakeroot
  4193. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  4194. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  4195. - theme: use a lighter green
  4196. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  4197. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  4198. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  4199. ---------------------------
  4200. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  4201. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  4202. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  4203. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  4204. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  4205. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  4206. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  4207. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  4208. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  4209. Deprecations:
  4210. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  4211. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  4212. New features:
  4213. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  4214. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  4215. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  4216. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  4217. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  4218. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  4219. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  4220. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  4221. (attic #295).
  4222. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  4223. fixes #85
  4224. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  4225. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  4226. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  4227. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  4228. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  4229. - cache sync: show progress indication
  4230. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  4231. Bug fixes:
  4232. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  4233. signed size_t), #116
  4234. - fix the repair mode, #144
  4235. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  4236. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  4237. (attic #317, attic #201).
  4238. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  4239. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  4240. fixes attic #326.
  4241. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  4242. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  4243. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  4244. Other changes:
  4245. - improved docs:
  4246. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  4247. "as is" into the html docs.
  4248. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  4249. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  4250. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  4251. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  4252. - updated AUTHORS
  4253. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  4254. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  4255. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  4256. - added docs about development
  4257. - add some words about resource usage in general
  4258. - document how to backup a raw disk
  4259. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  4260. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  4261. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  4262. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  4263. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  4264. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  4265. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  4266. - improved tox configuration
  4267. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  4268. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  4269. modern installs
  4270. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  4271. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  4272. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  4273. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  4274. New features:
  4275. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  4276. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  4277. attic #167)
  4278. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  4279. - hashindex: improve error messages
  4280. Other changes:
  4281. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  4282. - some easy micro optimizations
  4283. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  4284. ---------------------------
  4285. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  4286. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  4287. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  4288. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  4289. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  4290. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  4291. Bug fixes:
  4292. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  4293. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  4294. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  4295. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  4296. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282
  4297. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  4298. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  4299. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  4300. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  4301. always fails
  4302. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  4303. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  4304. New features:
  4305. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  4306. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  4307. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  4308. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  4309. - create -v output more informative
  4310. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  4311. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
  4312. - create: if "-" is given as path, read binary from stdin
  4313. - extract: if --stdout is given, write all extracted binary data to stdout
  4314. - extract --sparse (simple sparse file support)
