  6. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  7. ----------------------------------------------------------
  8. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  9. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  10. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  11. 2. gain write access to the repository
  12. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  13. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  14. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  15. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  16. for large archives.
  17. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  18. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  19. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  20. Steps you should take:
  21. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  22. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  23. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  24. 4. Done.
  25. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  26. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  27. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  28. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  29. otherwise.
  30. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  31. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  32. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  33. This attack is mitigated by:
  34. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  35. contain the archive IDs.
  36. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  37. Vulnerability time line:
  38. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  39. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  40. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  41. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  42. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  43. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  44. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  45. -----------------------------
  46. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  47. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  48. archives. See issue #1837.
  49. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  50. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  51. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  52. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  53. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  54. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  55. -----------------------------------
  56. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  57. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  58. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  59. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  60. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  61. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  62. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  63. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  64. Fix::
  65. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  66. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  67. # repair the repo:
  68. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  69. # make sure everything is fixed:
  70. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  71. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  72. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  73. Fix::
  74. # check for corrupt archives:
  75. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  76. # delete the corrupt archives:
  77. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  78. # make sure everything is fixed:
  79. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  80. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  81. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  82. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  86. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  87. --------------------------
  88. Compatibility notes:
  89. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  90. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  91. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  92. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  93. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  94. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  95. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  96. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  97. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  98. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  99. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  100. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  101. Fixes:
  102. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  103. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  104. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  105. handling for stat() call, #3209
  106. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  107. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  108. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  109. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  110. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  111. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  112. New features:
  113. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  114. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  115. Other changes:
  116. - docs:
  117. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  118. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  119. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  120. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  121. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  122. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  123. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  124. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  125. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  126. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  127. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  128. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  129. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  130. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  131. --------------------------
  132. Compatibility notes:
  133. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  134. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  135. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  136. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  137. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  138. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  139. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  140. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  141. Fixes:
  142. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  143. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  144. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  145. these archives, see also #3157.
  146. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  147. slowness, #3130

  155. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  156. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  157. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108

  187. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  188. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:

  192. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  193. New features:

  233. -----------------------------
  234. Compatibility notes:
  235. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  236. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  237. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  238. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  239. and the default is now "mtime".
  240. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).

  325. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  326. ----------------------------
  327. Compatibility notes:
  328. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  329. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  330. an append-only repository.
  331. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  332. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  333. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  334. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  335. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  336. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  337. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  338. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  339. not affect scripts.
  340. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  341. repositories they are.
  342. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  343. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  344. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  345. New features:
  346. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  347. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  348. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  349. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  350. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  351. - repository: index and hints files
  352. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  353. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  354. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  355. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  356. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  357. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  358. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  359. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  360. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573

  362. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  363. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  364. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  365. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  366. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  367. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  368. Fixes:
  369. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  370. reporting, #2496
  371. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  372. error message when parsing fails.
  373. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  374. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  375. - FUSE:
  376. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  377. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  378. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  379. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  380. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  381. - use decrypted cache
  382. - remove unnecessary normpaths

  396. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  397. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  398. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  399. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  400. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  401. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  402. Other changes:
  403. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed

  552. Version 1.1.0b4 (2017-03-27)
  553. ----------------------------
  554. Compatibility notes:

  560. filesystem object type (file, folder, etc), instead of expecting only files
  561. as tags, #1999
  562. - the --keep-tag-files option has been deprecated in favor of the new
  563. --keep-exclude-tags, to account for the change mentioned above.
  564. - use lz4 compression by default, #2179

  688. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  689. py.test >= 3.0, #2112

  694. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  695. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  696. "key export" files and key files.
  697. Other changes:

  699. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  700. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  701. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  702. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  703. ----------------------------
  704. Compatibility notes:
  705. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  717. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  718. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  719. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  720. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  725. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  726. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  727. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  728. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  729. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  730. Other changes:
  731. - borg recreate:
  732. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  739. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  740. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  741. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627

  754. - document repo URLs / archive location
  755. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  756. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  757. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  758. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  759. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  760. - tests:
  761. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  762. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  763. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  764. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  765. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  766. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  771. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  772. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  773. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  774. current file, #1993
  775. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  776. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  777. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  778. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  779. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  792. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  793. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)
  794. - officially support Python 3.6 (setup.py: add Python 3.6 qualifier)

  825. --------------------------
  826. Security fixes:
  827. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  828. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  829. take.
  830. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  831. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  832. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  833. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  834. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  835. Bug fixes:
  836. - borg check:

  857. -----------------------------
  858. Bug fixes:
  859. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  860. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  861. files in next backup), #1860.
  862. - borg check:
  863. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
  864. - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is
  865. *completely* empty, #1815.
  866. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  867. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  868. New features:
  869. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  870. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  871. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  872. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  899. - fix FUSE test for darwin, #1546
  900. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  901. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication

  903. ----------------------------
  904. Bug fixes:
  905. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  906. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  915. - borg help compression, #1582
  916. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  917. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  918. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  919. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  920. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  921. Other changes:
  922. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  923. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  924. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  925. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  926. - fix module names in api.rst

  929. ----------------------------
  930. New features:
  931. - new commands:
  932. - borg recreate: re-create existing archives, #787 #686 #630 #70, also see
  933. #757, #770.
  934. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  935. - re-compress data
  936. - re-chunkify data, e.g. to have upgraded Attic / Borg 0.xx archives
  937. deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives or to experiment with chunker-params.
  938. - borg diff: show differences between archives
  939. - borg with-lock: execute a command with the repository locked, #990
  940. - borg create:
  941. - Flexible compression with pattern matching on path/filename,
  942. and LZ4 heuristic for deciding compressibility, #810, #1007
  943. - visit files in inode order (better speed, esp. for large directories and rotating disks)
  944. - in-file checkpoints, #1217
  945. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  946. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  947. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  948. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  949. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  950. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  951. - borg check:

  954. - borg list, #751, #1179
  955. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  956. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  957. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  958. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  959. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  960. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  961. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),
  962. which includes the SHA1 and SHA2 family as well as MD5
  963. - borg prune:
  964. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  965. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  966. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  967. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  969. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  970. - borg extract:
  971. - added --progress, #1449
  972. - Linux: limited support for BSD flags, #1050

  978. a merged, versioned view of the files in all archives, #729
  979. - repository:
  980. - added progress information to commit/compaction phase (often takes some time when deleting/pruning), #1519
  981. - automatic recovery for some forms of repository inconsistency, #858

  985. - raised default segment size to approx 512 MiB
  986. - improved compaction performance, #1041
  987. - reduced client CPU load and improved performance for remote repositories, #940
  988. - options that imply output (--show-rc, --show-version, --list, --stats,
  989. --progress) don't need -v/--info to have that output displayed, #865
  990. - add archive comments (via borg (re)create --comment), #842
  991. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731

  1006. performance of hash-lists and extract).
  1007. - improved chunker performance, #1021
  1008. - open repository segment files in exclusive mode (fail-safe), #1134

  1024. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1025. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1026. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1027. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1028. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1029. - expanded FAQ
  1030. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1031. - Tests:

  1033. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1034. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1035. --------------------------
  1036. Bug fixes:
  1037. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1038. New features:
  1039. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1040. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1041. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1042. Other changes:
  1043. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1044. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1045. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1046. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1047. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1048. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1049. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1050. - docs:
  1051. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1052. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1053. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1054. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1055. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1056. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  1057. - vagrant / tests:
  1058. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1059. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1060. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1061. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1062. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1063. -----------------------------
  1064. Bug fixes:
  1065. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1066. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1067. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1068. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1069. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1070. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1071. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1072. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1073. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1074. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1075. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1076. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1077. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1078. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1079. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1080. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1081. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1082. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1083. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1084. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1085. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1086. #1684
  1087. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1088. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1089. New features:
  1090. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1091. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1092. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1093. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1094. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1095. soon as it is input.
  1096. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1097. #1352
  1098. Other changes:
  1099. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1100. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1101. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1102. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1103. dataflow direction.
  1104. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1105. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1106. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1107. #1572
  1108. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1109. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1110. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1111. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1112. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1113. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1114. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1115. - docs:
  1116. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641

  1130. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1131. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1132. - tests:
  1133. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1134. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1135. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1136. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1137. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1138. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1139. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1140. --------------------------
  1141. Security fixes:
  1142. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1143. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1144. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1145. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1146. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1147. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1148. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1149. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1150. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1151. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1152. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1153. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1154. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1155. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1156. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1157. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1158. Bug fixes:
  1159. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1160. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1161. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1162. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1163. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1164. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1165. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1166. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1167. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1168. New features:
  1169. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1170. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1171. Other changes:
  1172. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1173. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1174. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1175. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1176. -----------------------------
  1177. Bug fixes:
  1178. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1179. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1180. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1181. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1182. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1183. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1184. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1185. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1186. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1187. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1188. these would never be cleaned up.
  1189. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1190. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1191. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1192. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1193. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1194. path being a integer FD
  1195. Other changes:
  1196. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1197. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1198. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1199. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1200. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1201. real problem.
  1202. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1203. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1204. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1205. - docs:
  1206. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1207. - improve prune examples
  1208. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1209. -----------------------------
  1210. Bug fixes:
  1211. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1212. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1213. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1214. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1215. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1216. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1217. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1218. to 20, #1338
  1219. - FUSE:
  1220. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1221. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1222. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1223. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1224. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1225. New features:
  1226. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1227. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1228. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1229. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1230. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1231. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1232. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1233. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1234. server), #1291.
  1235. Other changes:
  1236. - Vagrantfile:
  1237. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1238. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1239. - tests:
  1240. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1241. - docs:
  1242. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1243. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1244. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1245. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1246. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1247. - added platform feature matrix
  1248. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1249. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1250. --------------------------
  1251. Bug fixes:
  1252. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1253. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1254. Other changes:
  1255. - tests:
  1256. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1257. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1258. - docs:
  1259. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1260. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1261. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1262. -----------------------------
  1263. New features:
  1264. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1265. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1266. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1267. Bug fixes:
  1268. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1269. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1270. repository code.
  1271. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1272. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1273. #1295
  1274. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1275. used), #1302. (*)
  1276. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1277. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1278. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1279. Other changes:
  1280. - tests:
  1281. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1282. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1283. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1284. - docs:
  1285. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1286. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1287. Notes:
  1288. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1289. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1290. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1291. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1292. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1293. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1294. --------------------------
  1295. Bug fixes:
  1296. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1297. Other changes:
  1298. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1299. - add release helper scripts
  1300. - Vagrantfile:
  1301. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1302. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1303. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1304. --------------------------
  1305. New features:
  1306. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1307. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1308. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1309. practically usable.
  1310. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1311. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1312. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1313. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1314. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1315. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1316. Bug fixes:
  1317. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1318. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1319. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1320. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1321. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1322. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1323. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1324. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1325. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1326. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1327. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1328. error reporting.
  1329. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1330. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1331. sync the containing directory.
  1332. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1333. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1334. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1335. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1336. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1337. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1338. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1339. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1340. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1341. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1342. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1343. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1344. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1345. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1346. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1347. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1348. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1349. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1350. - borg delete:
  1351. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1352. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1353. - borg check:
  1354. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1355. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1356. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1357. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1358. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1359. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1360. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1361. - tests:
  1362. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1363. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1364. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1365. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264

  1375. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1376. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1377. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1378. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1379. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1380. - update cygwin installation docs
  1381. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1382. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1383. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1384. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1385. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1386. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1387. - Vagrantfile:
  1388. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1389. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1390. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3

  1393. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1394. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1395. --------------------------
  1396. Bug fixes:
  1397. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1398. a prune run), #997
  1399. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1400. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1401. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1402. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1403. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1404. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1405. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1406. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1407. space), #1063
  1408. Other changes:
  1409. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933

  1417. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1418. --------------------------
  1419. Bug fixes:
  1420. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1421. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1422. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1423. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1424. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1425. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1426. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1427. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1428. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1429. a overflow would have occurred.
  1430. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1431. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1432. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1433. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1434. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1435. Other changes:
  1436. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1437. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1438. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1439. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1440. - docs:
  1441. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1442. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1443. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1444. --------------------------
  1445. New features:
  1446. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1447. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1448. also:
  1449. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1450. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1451. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1452. possibly CIFS).
  1453. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1454. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1455. this on his own.
  1456. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1457. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1458. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1459. Bug fixes:
  1460. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1461. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1462. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1463. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1464. - fix build on illumos
  1465. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1466. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1467. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1468. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1469. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1470. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1471. instead, #791
  1472. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1473. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1474. #798
  1475. Other changes:
  1476. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1477. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1478. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1479. - docs:
  1480. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1481. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1482. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1483. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1484. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1485. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1486. --------------------------
  1487. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1488. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1489. check your backup logs.
  1490. Compatibility notes:
  1491. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1492. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1493. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1494. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1495. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1496. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1497. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1498. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1499. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1500. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1501. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1502. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1503. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1504. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1505. use --one-file-system instead
  1506. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1507. - -p now is same as --progress
  1508. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1509. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1510. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1511. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1512. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1513. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1514. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1515. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1516. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1517. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1518. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1519. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1520. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1521. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1522. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1523. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1524. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1525. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1526. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1527. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1528. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1529. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1530. usage).
  1531. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1532. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1533. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1534. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1535. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1536. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1537. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1538. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1539. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1540. New features:
  1541. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1542. Bug fixes:
  1543. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1544. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1545. Other changes:
  1546. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1547. - docs:
  1548. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1549. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  1550. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698
  1551. - FAQ: how to limit bandwidth

  1554. New features:
  1555. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  1556. - borg list --list-format
  1557. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  1558. Bug fixes:
  1559. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  1560. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1561. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1562. as borg info, #651
  1563. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1564. Other changes:
  1565. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1566. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1567. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1568. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1569. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1570. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1571. - docs:
  1572. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1573. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1574. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1575. - fix order in release process
  1576. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes
  1577. - verified borg examples in docs, #644
  1578. - freebsd dependency installation and FUSE configuration, #649

  1582. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  1583. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1584. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  1588. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1589. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1590. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  1591. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  1592. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544
  1593. - use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keys for keyfile keys (~/.config/borg/keys), #515

  1599. Other changes:
  1600. - suppress unneeded exception context (PEP 409), simpler tracebacks
  1601. - removed special code needed to deal with imperfections / incompatibilities /
  1602. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  1603. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  1604. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1605. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  1606. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  1607. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  1608. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  1609. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  1610. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  1623. - misc. updates and fixes
  1624. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1625. ---------------------------
  1626. Compatibility notes:
  1627. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1628. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1629. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1630. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1631. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1632. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1633. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1634. Bug fixes:
  1635. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  1636. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  1637. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  1638. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  1639. - log stats consistently, #526
  1640. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496
  1641. - strip whitespace when loading exclusions from file
  1642. - unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH before invoking ssh, fixes strange OpenSSL library
  1643. version warning when using the borg binary, #514
  1644. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  1645. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1646. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1647. New features:
  1648. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1649. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1650. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1651. - support different styles for patterns:
  1652. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1653. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1654. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1655. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1656. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1657. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1658. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1659. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1660. files or for borg check repo), #500
  1661. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1662. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1663. file list output
  1664. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1665. Other changes:
  1666. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1667. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1668. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1669. fixes #569
  1670. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1671. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1672. than debian7
  1673. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1674. - docs:
  1675. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ

  1689. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1690. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1691. ---------------------------
  1692. Compatibility notes:
  1693. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1694. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1695. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1696. option.
  1697. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1698. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1699. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1700. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1701. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1702. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1703. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1704. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1705. Bug fixes:
  1706. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1707. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1708. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1709. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1710. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1711. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476

  1716. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1717. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1718. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1719. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1720. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1721. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1722. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1723. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1724. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1725. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1726. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1727. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1728. - more progress indicators, #394
  1729. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1730. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  1930. - replace versioneer with setuptools_scm, #106
  1931. - docs:
  1932. - pkg-config is needed for llfuse installation

  1949. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  1950. ---------------------------
  1951. Compatibility notes:
  1952. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  1953. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  1954. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  1955. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1956. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1957. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1958. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1959. Deprecations:
  1960. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1961. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1962. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1963. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1964. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1965. (which is the default).
  1966. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1967. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1968. New features:
  1969. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1970. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1971. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1972. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1973. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1974. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1975. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1976. Bug fixes:
  1977. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1978. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1979. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1980. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1981. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1982. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1983. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1984. Other changes:
  1985. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1986. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1987. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1988. - more tests for archiver
  1989. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1990. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1991. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1992. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1993. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1994. - improved docs:
  1995. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1996. - update docs about compression
  1997. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1998. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1999. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2000. - theme: use a lighter green
  2001. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2002. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2003. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2004. ---------------------------
  2005. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2006. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2007. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2008. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2009. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2010. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2011. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2012. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2013. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2014. Deprecations:
  2015. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2016. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2017. New features:
  2018. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2019. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2020. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2021. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2022. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2023. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
