  6. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  7. -----------------------------------------
  8. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  9. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  10. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  11. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  12. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  13. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  14. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  15. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  16. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  17. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  18. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  19. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  20. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  21. discarded from the archive.
  22. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  23. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  24. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  25. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  26. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  27. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  28. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  29. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  30. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  31. items are listed.
  32. .. _tam_vuln:
  33. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  34. ----------------------------------------------------------
  35. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  36. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  37. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  38. 2. gain write access to the repository
  39. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  40. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  41. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  42. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  43. for large archives.
  44. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  45. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  46. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  47. Steps you should take:
  48. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  49. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  50. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  51. 4. Done.
  52. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  53. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  54. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  55. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  56. otherwise.
  57. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  58. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  59. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  60. This attack is mitigated by:
  61. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  62. contain the archive IDs.
  63. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  64. Vulnerability time line:
  65. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  66. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  67. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  68. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  69. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  70. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  71. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  72. -----------------------------
  73. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  74. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  75. archives. See issue #1837.
  76. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  77. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  78. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  79. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  80. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  81. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  82. -----------------------------------
  83. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  84. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  85. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  86. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  87. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  88. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  89. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  90. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  91. Fix::
  92. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  93. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  94. # repair the repo:
  95. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  96. # make sure everything is fixed:
  97. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  98. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  99. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  100. Fix::
  101. # check for corrupt archives:
  102. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  103. # delete the corrupt archives:
  104. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  105. # make sure everything is fixed:
  106. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  107. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  108. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  109. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  111. Changelog
  112. =========
  113. Version 1.2.0a3 (2019-02-26)
  114. ----------------------------
  115. Please note:
  116. This is code released for alpha testing (== helping us find bugs).
  117. It is not suitable to run against your production backup repositories!
  118. So, if you want to help testing, please run this code additionally to your
  119. normal backup and use a separate, fresh repository for it.
  120. See there for feedback: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4360
  121. Compatibility notes:
  122. - dropped support / testing for Python 3.4, minimum requirement is 3.5.
  123. In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.5, consider using our binary,
  124. which does not need an external Python interpreter.
  125. Maybe this requirement will be raised to Python 3.6 later.
  126. - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
  127. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  128. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  129. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  130. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  131. and the default is now "mtime".
  132. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  133. - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
  134. - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
  135. - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
  136. - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
  137. - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
  138. - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
  139. Fixes:
  140. - LibreSSL build fixes, #4403
  141. - dummy ACL/xattr code fixes (used by OpenBSD and others), #4403
  142. - create: fix openat/statat issues for root directory, #4405
  143. Version 1.2.0a2 and earlier (2019-02-24)
  144. ----------------------------------------
  145. New features:
  146. - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
  147. compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
  148. data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
  149. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  150. writing command.
  151. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  152. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  153. more robustness.
  154. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  155. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  156. commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
  157. Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
  158. Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
  159. - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
  160. - add fixed blocksize chunker (see --chunker-params docs), #1086

  164. - add O_NOFOLLOW to base flags, #908
  165. - compact:
  166. - require >10% freeable space in a segment, #2985

  169. - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
  170. Other changes:
  171. - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
  172. segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947
  173. - use pyinstaller v3.3.1 to build binaries
  174. - update bundled zstd code to 1.3.8, #4210
  175. - update bundled lz4 code to 1.8.3, #4209

  180. - llfuse: modernize / simplify llfuse version requirements
  181. - code refactorings / internal improvements:
  182. - include size/csize/nfiles[_parts] stats into archive, #3241
  183. - calc_stats: use archive stats metadata, if available
  184. - crypto: refactored crypto to use an AEAD style API
  185. - crypto: new AES-OCB, CHACHA20-POLY1305
  186. - create: use less syscalls by not using a python file obj, #906, #3962
  187. - diff: refactor the diff functionality to new ItemDiff class, #2475
  188. - archive: create FilesystemObjectProcessors class
  189. - helpers: make a package, split into smaller modules
  190. - xattrs: move to platform package, use cython instead ctypes, #2495
  191. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  192. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  193. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899

  203. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  204. --------------------------
  205. Compatibility notes:
  206. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  207. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  208. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  209. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  210. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  211. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  212. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  213. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  214. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  215. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  216. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  217. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  218. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  219. Fixes:
  220. - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903
  221. "default_permissions" is now enforced by borg by default to let the
  222. kernel check uid/gid/mode based permissions.
  223. "ignore_permissions" can be given to not enforce "default_permissions".
  224. - make "hostname" short, even on misconfigured systems, #4262
  225. - fix free space calculation on macOS (and others?), #4289
  226. - config: quit with error message when no key is provided, #4223
  227. - recover_segment: handle too small segment files correctly, #4272
  228. - correctly release memoryview, #4243
  229. - avoid diaper pattern in configparser by opening files, #4263
  230. - add "# cython: language_level=3" directive to .pyx files, #4214
  231. - info: consider part files for "This archive" stats, #3522
  232. - work around Microsoft WSL issue #645 (sync_file_range), #1961
  233. New features:
  234. - add --rsh command line option to complement BORG_RSH env var, #1701

  258. --------------------------
  259. Fixes:
  260. - enforce storage quota if set by serve-command, #4093
  261. - invalid locations: give err msg containing parsed location, #4179
  262. - list repo: add placeholders for hostname and username, #4130
  263. - on linux, symlinks can't have ACLs, so don't try to set any, #4044
  264. New features:
  265. - create: added PATH::archive output on INFO log level
  266. - read a passphrase from a file descriptor specified in the
  267. BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD environment variable.
  268. Other:
  269. - docs:
  270. - option --format is required for some expensive-to-compute values for json
  271. borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
  272. they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
  273. in standard mode as well as in --json mode.

  285. - use python 3.5.6 for builds
  286. Version 1.1.7 (2018-08-11)
  287. --------------------------
  288. Compatibility notes:

  365. Compatibility notes:
  366. - 1.1.5 changes:
  367. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  368. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because

  425. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  426. --------------------------
  427. Compatibility notes:
  428. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  429. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  430. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  431. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  432. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  433. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  434. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  435. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  436. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  437. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  438. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  439. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  440. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  441. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  442. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  443. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  444. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  445. be used:
  446. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  447. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  448. Fixes:
  449. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  450. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  451. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  452. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  453. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  454. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  455. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  456. New features:
  457. - added zstd compression. try it!
  458. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  459. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  460. Other changes:
  461. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  462. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  463. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  464. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  465. - updated fish/bash completions
  466. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  467. - docs:
  468. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  469. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  470. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  471. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  472. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  473. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  474. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  475. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  476. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  477. - blake2 was already bundled
  478. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  479. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  480. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  481. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  482. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  483. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  484. --------------------------
  485. Fixes:
  486. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  487. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  488. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  489. controls post-authentication.
  490. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  491. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  492. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  493. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  494. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  495. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  496. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  497. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  498. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  499. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  500. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  501. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  502. New features:
  503. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  504. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  505. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  506. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  507. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  508. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  509. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  510. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  511. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  512. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  513. Other changes:
  514. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  515. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  516. - docs:
  517. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  518. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  519. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  520. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  521. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  522. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  523. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  524. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  525. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  526. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  527. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  528. - update release checklist about security fixes
  529. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  530. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  531. bsdflags, #3239
  532. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  533. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  534. --------------------------
  535. Fixes:
  536. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  537. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  538. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  539. handling for stat() call, #3209
  540. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  541. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  542. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  543. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  544. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  545. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  546. New features:
  547. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  548. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  549. Other changes:
  550. - docs:
  551. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  552. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  553. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  554. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  555. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  556. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  557. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  558. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  559. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  560. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  561. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  562. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  563. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  564. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  565. --------------------------
  566. Compatibility notes:
  567. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  568. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  569. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  570. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  571. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  572. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  573. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  574. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  575. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  576. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  577. speed up backup creation.
  578. Fixes:
  579. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  580. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  581. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  582. these archives, see also #3157.
  583. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  584. slowness, #3130
  585. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  586. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  587. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  588. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  589. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  590. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  591. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  592. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  593. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  594. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  595. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  596. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  597. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  598. New features:
  599. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  600. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  601. Other changes:
  602. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  603. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  604. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  605. - docs:
  606. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  607. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  608. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  609. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  610. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  611. --------------------------
  612. Compatibility notes:
  613. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  614. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  615. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  616. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  617. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  618. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  619. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  620. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  621. Fixes:
  622. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  623. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  624. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  625. Other changes:
  626. - docs:
  627. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  628. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  629. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  630. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  631. -----------------------------
  632. Compatibility notes:
  633. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  634. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  635. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  636. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  637. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  638. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  639. New features:
  640. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  641. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  642. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  643. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  644. Fixes:
  645. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  646. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  647. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  648. Other changes:
  649. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  650. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  651. - vagrant:
  652. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  653. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  654. - docs:
  655. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  656. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  657. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  658. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  659. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  660. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  661. -----------------------------
  662. New features:
  663. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  664. Fixes:
  665. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  666. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  667. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  668. Other changes:
  669. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  670. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  671. - docs:
  672. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  673. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  674. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  675. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  676. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  677. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  678. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  679. -----------------------------
  680. Compatibility notes:
  681. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  682. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  683. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  684. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  685. and the default is now "mtime".
  686. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  687. New features:
  688. - None.
  689. Fixes:
  690. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  691. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  692. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  693. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  694. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  695. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  696. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  697. Other changes:
  698. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  699. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  700. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  701. - delete various nogil and threading related lines
  702. - coala / pylint related improvements

  706. - minor formatting fixes
  707. - tar: tarpipe example
  708. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  709. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  710. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  711. - vagrant:
  712. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  713. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  714. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  715. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  716. -----------------------------
  717. Compatibility notes:
  718. - delete: removed short option for --cache-only
  719. New features:
  720. - support borg list repo --format {comment} {bcomment} {end}, #2081
  721. - key import: allow reading from stdin, #2760

  728. - include testsuite data (attic.tar.gz) when installing the package
  729. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  730. #2174 #2175
  731. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  732. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  733. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  734. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853
  735. Other changes:
  736. - FUSE: versions view: linear numbering by archive time
  737. - split up interval parsing from filtering for --keep-within, #2610
  738. - add a basic .editorconfig, #2734

  771. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  772. ----------------------------
  773. Compatibility notes:
  774. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  775. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  776. an append-only repository.
  777. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  778. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  779. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  780. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  781. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  782. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  783. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  784. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  785. not affect scripts.
  786. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  787. repositories they are.

  1148. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  1149. ----------------------------
  1150. Compatibility notes:
  1151. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  1163. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1164. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1165. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1166. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  1277. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1278. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1279. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1280. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1281. Bug fixes:

  1304. Bug fixes:
  1305. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is

  1307. files in next backup), #1860.
  1308. - borg check:
  1309. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1316. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1317. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1318. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1319. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853

  1349. ----------------------------
  1350. Bug fixes:
  1351. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1352. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  1369. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  1370. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  1371. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch

  1391. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1392. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1393. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1394. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1395. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1396. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1397. - borg check:
  1398. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1399. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1400. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1401. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1402. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1403. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1404. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1405. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1406. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes

  1411. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1412. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.

  1482. Bug fixes:
  1483. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1484. New features:
  1485. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1486. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1487. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1488. Other changes:
  1489. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1490. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1491. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1492. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1493. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1494. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1495. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  1510. Bug fixes:
  1511. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1512. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1513. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1514. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1515. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1516. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1517. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1518. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1519. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1520. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1521. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1522. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1523. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1524. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1525. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1526. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1527. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1528. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1529. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1530. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1531. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1532. #1684
  1533. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1534. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1535. New features:
  1536. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1537. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1538. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1539. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1540. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1541. soon as it is input.
  1542. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1543. #1352
  1544. Other changes:

  1548. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1549. dataflow direction.
  1550. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1551. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1552. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1553. #1572
  1554. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571

  1584. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1585. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1586. --------------------------
  1587. Security fixes:
  1588. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1589. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1590. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1591. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1592. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1593. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1594. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1595. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1596. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1597. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1598. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1599. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1600. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1601. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1602. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1603. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1604. Bug fixes:
  1605. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1606. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1607. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1608. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1609. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1610. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1611. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1612. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1613. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1614. New features:
  1615. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1616. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1617. Other changes:
  1618. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1619. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1620. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1621. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1622. -----------------------------
  1623. Bug fixes:
  1624. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1625. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1626. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1627. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1628. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1629. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1630. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1631. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1632. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1633. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1634. these would never be cleaned up.
  1635. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1636. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1637. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1638. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1639. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1640. path being a integer FD
  1641. Other changes:
  1642. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1643. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1644. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1645. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1646. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1647. real problem.
  1648. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1649. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1650. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1651. - docs:
  1652. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1653. - improve prune examples
  1654. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1655. -----------------------------
  1656. Bug fixes:
  1657. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1658. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1659. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1660. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1661. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1662. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1663. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1664. to 20, #1338
  1665. - FUSE:
  1666. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1667. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1668. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1669. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1670. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1671. New features:
  1672. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1673. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1674. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1675. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1676. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1677. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1678. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1679. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1680. server), #1291.
  1681. Other changes:
  1682. - Vagrantfile:
  1683. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1684. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1685. - tests:
  1686. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1687. - docs:
  1688. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1689. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1690. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1691. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1692. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1693. - added platform feature matrix
  1694. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1695. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1696. --------------------------
  1697. Bug fixes:
  1698. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1699. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1700. Other changes:
  1701. - tests:
  1702. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1703. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1704. - docs:
  1705. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1706. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1707. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1708. -----------------------------
  1709. New features:
  1710. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1711. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1712. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1713. Bug fixes:
  1714. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1715. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1716. repository code.
  1717. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1718. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1719. #1295
  1720. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1721. used), #1302. (*)
  1722. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1723. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1724. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1725. Other changes:
  1726. - tests:
  1727. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1728. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1729. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1730. - docs:
  1731. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1732. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1733. Notes:
  1734. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1735. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1736. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1737. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1738. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1739. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1740. --------------------------
  1741. Bug fixes:
  1742. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1743. Other changes:
  1744. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1745. - add release helper scripts
  1746. - Vagrantfile:
  1747. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1748. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1749. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1750. --------------------------
  1751. New features:
  1752. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1753. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1754. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1755. practically usable.
  1756. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1757. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1758. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1759. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1760. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1761. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1762. Bug fixes:
  1763. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1764. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1765. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1766. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1767. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1768. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1769. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1770. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1771. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1772. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1773. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1774. error reporting.
  1775. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1776. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1777. sync the containing directory.
  1778. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1779. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1780. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1781. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1782. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1783. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1784. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1785. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1786. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1787. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1788. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1789. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1790. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1791. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1792. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1793. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1794. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1795. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1796. - borg delete:
  1797. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1798. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1799. - borg check:
  1800. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1801. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1802. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1803. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1804. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1805. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1806. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1807. - tests:
  1808. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1809. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1810. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1811. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1812. Other changes:
  1813. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1814. - docs / help:
  1815. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1816. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1817. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1818. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1819. - document sshd settings, #545
  1820. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1821. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1822. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1823. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1824. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1825. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1826. - update cygwin installation docs
  1827. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1828. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1829. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1830. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1831. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1832. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1833. - Vagrantfile:
  1834. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1835. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1836. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1837. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1838. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1839. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1840. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1841. --------------------------
  1842. Bug fixes:
  1843. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1844. a prune run), #997
  1845. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1846. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1847. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1848. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1849. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1850. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1851. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1852. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1853. space), #1063
  1854. Other changes:
  1855. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1856. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1857. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1858. - docs / help:
  1859. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1860. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1861. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1862. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1863. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1864. --------------------------
  1865. Bug fixes:
  1866. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1867. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1868. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1869. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1870. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1871. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1872. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1873. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1874. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1875. a overflow would have occurred.
  1876. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1877. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1878. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1879. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1880. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1881. Other changes:
  1882. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1883. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1884. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1885. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1886. - docs:
  1887. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1888. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1889. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1890. --------------------------
  1891. New features:
  1892. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1893. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1894. also:
  1895. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1896. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1897. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1898. possibly CIFS).
  1899. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1900. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1901. this on his own.
  1902. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1903. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1904. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1905. Bug fixes:
  1906. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1907. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1908. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1909. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1910. - fix build on illumos
  1911. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1912. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1913. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1914. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1915. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1916. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1917. instead, #791
  1918. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826

  1931. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1932. --------------------------
  1933. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1934. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1935. check your backup logs.
  1936. Compatibility notes:
  1937. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1938. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1939. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1940. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1941. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1942. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1943. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1944. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1945. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1946. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1947. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1948. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1949. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1950. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1951. use --one-file-system instead
  1952. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1953. - -p now is same as --progress
  1954. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1955. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1956. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1957. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1958. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1959. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1960. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1961. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1962. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1963. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1964. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1965. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1966. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1967. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1968. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1969. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1970. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1971. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1972. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1973. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1974. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1975. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1976. usage).
  1977. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1978. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1979. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1980. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1981. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1982. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1983. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1984. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1985. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1986. New features:
  1987. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1988. Bug fixes:
  1989. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701

  2011. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2012. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2013. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2014. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.

  2071. ---------------------------
  2072. Compatibility notes:
  2073. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2074. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2075. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2076. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2077. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2078. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2079. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  2095. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2096. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2097. - support different styles for patterns:
  2098. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2099. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2100. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2101. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2102. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2103. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2104. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  2108. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2109. file list output
  2110. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2111. Other changes:
  2112. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2113. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2114. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2115. fixes #569
  2116. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2117. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2118. than debian7
  2119. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2120. - docs:
  2121. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ

  2135. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2136. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2137. ---------------------------
  2138. Compatibility notes:
  2139. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2140. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2141. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2142. option.
  2143. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2144. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2145. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2146. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2147. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2148. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2149. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2150. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2151. Bug fixes:
  2152. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2153. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2154. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2155. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2156. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2157. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2158. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2159. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2160. New features:
  2161. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2162. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2163. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2164. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2165. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2166. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2167. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2168. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2169. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2170. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2171. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2172. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2173. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2174. - more progress indicators, #394
  2175. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2176. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  2177. Other changes:
  2178. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  2179. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  2180. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  2204. given file from the backup. You can additionally give --keep-tag-files to
  2205. preserve just the directory roots and the tag-files (but not backup other
  2206. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  2207. Other changes:
  2208. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),
  2209. completely remove have_cython() hack, do not use the "mock" library at build

  2395. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2396. ---------------------------
  2397. Compatibility notes:
  2398. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2399. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2400. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2401. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2402. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2403. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2404. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2405. Deprecations:
  2406. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2407. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2408. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2409. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2410. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2411. (which is the default).
  2412. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2413. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2414. New features:
  2415. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2416. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2417. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2418. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2419. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2420. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2421. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2422. Bug fixes:
  2423. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2424. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2425. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2426. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2427. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2428. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2429. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2430. Other changes:
  2431. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2432. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2433. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2434. - more tests for archiver
  2435. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2436. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2437. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2438. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2439. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2440. - improved docs:
  2441. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2442. - update docs about compression
  2443. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2444. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2445. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2446. - theme: use a lighter green
  2447. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2448. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2449. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2450. ---------------------------
  2451. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2452. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2453. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2454. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2455. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2456. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2457. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2458. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2459. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2460. Deprecations:
  2461. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2462. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2463. New features:
  2464. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2465. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2466. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2467. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2468. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2469. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2470. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2471. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2472. (attic #295).
  2473. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2474. fixes #85
  2475. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2476. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2477. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2478. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2479. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2480. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2481. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2482. Bug fixes:
  2483. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2484. signed size_t), #116
  2485. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2486. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2487. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2488. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2489. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2490. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2491. fixes attic #326.
  2492. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2493. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2494. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2495. Other changes:
  2496. - improved docs:
  2497. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2498. "as is" into the html docs.
  2499. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2500. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2501. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2502. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2503. - updated AUTHORS
  2504. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2505. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2506. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2507. - added docs about development
  2508. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2509. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2510. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2511. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2512. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2513. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2514. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2515. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2516. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2517. - improved tox configuration
  2518. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2519. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2520. modern installs
  2521. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2522. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2523. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2524. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2525. New features:
  2526. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2527. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2528. attic #167)
  2529. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2530. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2531. Other changes:
  2532. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2533. - some easy micro optimizations
  2534. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2535. ---------------------------
  2536. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2537. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2538. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2539. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2540. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2541. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2542. Bug fixes:
  2543. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2544. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2545. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2546. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  2550. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2551. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2552. always fails
  2553. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2554. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2555. New features:
  2556. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  2557. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2558. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2559. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2560. - create -v output more informative
  2561. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2562. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
