  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 1.2.0a4 (not released yet)
  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. - removed BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var.
  140. to use borg you must implement one of these 2 scenarios:
  141. - 1) the combination of FQDN and result of uuid.getnode() must be unique
  142. and stable (this should be the case for almost everybody, except when
  143. having duplicate FQDN *and* MAC address or all-zero MAC address)
  144. - 2) if you are aware that 1) is not the case for you, you must set
  145. BORG_HOST_ID env var to something unique.
  146. Fixes:
  147. - do not use O_NONBLOCK for special files, like FIFOs, block and char devices
  148. when using --read-special. fixes backing up FIFOs. fixes to test. #4394
  149. - more LibreSSL build fixes: LibreSSL has HMAC_CTX_free and *HMAC_CTX_new
  150. Other changes:
  151. - docs: added Alpine Linux to distribution list
  152. - vagrant:
  153. - darwin: new 10.12 box
  154. - freebsd: new 12.0 box
  155. - openbsd: new 6.4 box
  156. - misc. updates / fixes
  157. Version 1.2.0a3 (2019-02-26)
  158. ----------------------------
  159. Fixes:
  160. - LibreSSL build fixes, #4403
  161. - dummy ACL/xattr code fixes (used by OpenBSD and others), #4403
  162. - create: fix openat/statat issues for root directory, #4405
  163. Version 1.2.0a2 and earlier (2019-02-24)
  164. ----------------------------------------
  165. New features:
  166. - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
  167. compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
  168. data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
  169. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  170. writing command.
  171. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  172. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  173. more robustness.
  174. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  175. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  176. commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
  177. Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
  178. Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
  179. - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
  180. - add fixed blocksize chunker (see --chunker-params docs), #1086
  181. Fixes:
  182. - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265

  184. - add O_NOFOLLOW to base flags, #908
  185. - compact:
  186. - require >10% freeable space in a segment, #2985
  187. - repository compaction now automatically removes unneeded 17byte
  188. commit-only segments, #2850
  189. - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
  190. Other changes:
  191. - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
  192. segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947
  193. - use pyinstaller v3.3.1 to build binaries
  194. - update bundled zstd code to 1.3.8, #4210
  195. - update bundled lz4 code to 1.8.3, #4209
  196. - msgpack:
  197. - switch to recent "msgpack" pypi pkg name, #3890
  198. - wrap msgpack to avoid future compat complications, #3632, #2738
  199. - support msgpack 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, #4220, #4308
  200. - llfuse: modernize / simplify llfuse version requirements
  201. - code refactorings / internal improvements:
  202. - include size/csize/nfiles[_parts] stats into archive, #3241
  203. - calc_stats: use archive stats metadata, if available
  204. - crypto: refactored crypto to use an AEAD style API
  205. - crypto: new AES-OCB, CHACHA20-POLY1305
  206. - create: use less syscalls by not using a python file obj, #906, #3962
  207. - diff: refactor the diff functionality to new ItemDiff class, #2475
  208. - archive: create FilesystemObjectProcessors class
  209. - helpers: make a package, split into smaller modules
  210. - xattrs: move to platform package, use cython instead ctypes, #2495
  211. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  212. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  213. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
  214. - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
  215. - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
  216. - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking
  217. - multithreading preparations (not used yet):
  218. - item.to_optr(), Item.from_optr()
  219. - fix chunker holding the GIL during blocking I/O
  220. - C code portability / basic MSC compatibility, #4147, #2677
  221. - testing:
  222. - vagrant: new VMs for linux/bsd/darwin, most with OpenSSL 1.1 and py36
  223. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  224. --------------------------
  225. Compatibility notes:
  226. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  227. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  228. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  229. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  230. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  231. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  232. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  233. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  234. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  235. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  236. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  237. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  238. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  239. Fixes:
  240. - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903
  241. "default_permissions" is now enforced by borg by default to let the
  242. kernel check uid/gid/mode based permissions.
  243. "ignore_permissions" can be given to not enforce "default_permissions".
  244. - make "hostname" short, even on misconfigured systems, #4262
  245. - fix free space calculation on macOS (and others?), #4289
  246. - config: quit with error message when no key is provided, #4223
  247. - recover_segment: handle too small segment files correctly, #4272
  248. - correctly release memoryview, #4243
  249. - avoid diaper pattern in configparser by opening files, #4263
  250. - add "# cython: language_level=3" directive to .pyx files, #4214
  251. - info: consider part files for "This archive" stats, #3522
  252. - work around Microsoft WSL issue #645 (sync_file_range), #1961
  253. New features:
  254. - add --rsh command line option to complement BORG_RSH env var, #1701

  256. Other:
  257. - add archive name to check --repair output, #3447
  258. - check for unsupported msgpack versions
  259. - shell completions:
  260. - new shell completions for borg 1.1.9
  261. - more complete shell completions for borg mount -o
  262. - added shell completions for borg help
  263. - option arguments for zsh tab completion

  280. - enforce storage quota if set by serve-command, #4093
  281. - invalid locations: give err msg containing parsed location, #4179
  282. - list repo: add placeholders for hostname and username, #4130
  283. - on linux, symlinks can't have ACLs, so don't try to set any, #4044
  284. New features:
  285. - create: added PATH::archive output on INFO log level
  286. - read a passphrase from a file descriptor specified in the
  287. BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD environment variable.
  288. Other:
  289. - docs:
  290. - option --format is required for some expensive-to-compute values for json
  291. borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
  292. they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
  293. in standard mode as well as in --json mode.
  294. - tell that our binaries are x86/x64 amd/intel, bauerj has ARM

  383. Version 1.1.5 (2018-04-01)
  384. --------------------------
  385. Compatibility notes:
  386. - 1.1.5 changes:
  387. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  388. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because
  389. the python package was renamed to msgpack and emitted some FutureWarning.
  390. Fixes:
  391. - create --list: fix that it was never showing M status, #3492
  392. - create: fix timing for first checkpoint (read files cache early, init
  393. checkpoint timer after that), see #3394

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

  674. - docs:
  675. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  676. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  677. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  678. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  679. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  680. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  681. -----------------------------
  682. New features:
  683. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  684. Fixes:
  685. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  686. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  687. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  688. Other changes:
  689. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  690. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  691. - docs:
  692. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  693. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936

  697. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  698. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  699. -----------------------------
  700. Compatibility notes:
  701. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  702. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  703. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  704. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  705. and the default is now "mtime".
  706. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  707. New features:
  708. - None.
  709. Fixes:
  710. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  711. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  712. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  713. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  714. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  715. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  716. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  717. Other changes:
  718. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  719. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  720. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933

  728. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  729. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  730. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  731. - vagrant:
  732. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  733. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  734. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  735. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  736. -----------------------------
  737. Compatibility notes:

  748. - include testsuite data (attic.tar.gz) when installing the package
  749. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  750. #2174 #2175
  751. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  752. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  753. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  754. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853

  791. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  792. ----------------------------
  793. Compatibility notes:
  794. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  795. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  796. an append-only repository.
  797. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  798. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  799. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  800. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  801. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  802. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  803. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  804. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  805. not affect scripts.
  806. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  807. repositories they are.
  808. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  809. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  810. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  811. New features:
  812. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  813. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  814. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  815. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  816. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  817. - repository: index and hints files
  818. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  819. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  820. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  821. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  822. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  823. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  824. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  825. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  826. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573

  828. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  829. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  830. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  831. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  832. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  833. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  834. Fixes:
  835. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  836. reporting, #2496
  837. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  838. error message when parsing fails.
  839. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  840. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  841. - FUSE:
  842. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  843. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  844. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  845. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  846. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  847. - use decrypted cache

  859. - fix --progress and logging in general for remote
  860. - fix parse_version, add tests, #2556
  861. - repository: truncate segments (and also some other files) before unlinking, #2557
  862. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  863. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  864. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  865. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  866. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  867. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  868. Other changes:
  869. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  870. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  871. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503

  1183. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1184. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1185. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and

  1205. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  1206. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  1207. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  1208. - improve metadata handling speed
  1209. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address

  1224. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1225. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1226. - tests:
  1227. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1228. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1229. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1230. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.

  1237. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1238. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1239. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the

  1241. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1242. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,

  1294. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1295. take.
  1296. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1297. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1298. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1299. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1300. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1301. Bug fixes:
  1302. - borg check:

  1324. Bug fixes:
  1325. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1326. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1327. files in next backup), #1860.
  1328. - borg check:
  1329. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1336. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1337. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1338. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  1370. Bug fixes:
  1371. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1372. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is
  1373. normally fixed by running another borg create/delete/prune.

  1411. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1412. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1413. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1414. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1415. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1416. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1417. - borg check:
  1418. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1419. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1420. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1421. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"

  1430. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1431. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1432. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  1433. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  1435. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  1436. - borg extract:
  1437. - added --progress, #1449

  1503. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1504. New features:
  1505. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1506. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1507. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1508. Other changes:
  1509. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1510. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1511. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1512. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1513. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1514. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1515. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  1534. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1535. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1536. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1537. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1538. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1539. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1540. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1541. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1542. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1543. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1544. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1545. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1546. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1547. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1548. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1549. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1550. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1551. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1552. #1684
  1553. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1554. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1555. New features:
  1556. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1557. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1558. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1559. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1560. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1561. soon as it is input.
  1562. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1563. #1352
  1564. Other changes:

  1566. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1567. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1568. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1569. dataflow direction.
  1570. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1571. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1572. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1573. #1572
  1574. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1575. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700

  1597. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1598. - tests:
  1599. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1600. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1601. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1602. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1603. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1604. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1605. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1606. --------------------------
  1607. Security fixes:
  1608. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1609. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1610. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1611. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1612. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1613. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1614. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1615. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1616. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1617. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1618. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1619. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1620. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1621. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1622. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1623. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1624. Bug fixes:
  1625. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1626. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1627. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1628. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1629. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1630. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1631. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1632. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1633. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1634. New features:
  1635. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1636. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1637. Other changes:
  1638. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1639. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1640. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1641. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1642. -----------------------------
  1643. Bug fixes:
  1644. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1645. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1646. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1647. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1648. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1649. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1650. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1651. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1652. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1653. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1654. these would never be cleaned up.
  1655. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1656. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1657. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1658. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1659. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1660. path being a integer FD
  1661. Other changes:
  1662. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1663. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1664. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1665. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1666. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1667. real problem.
  1668. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1669. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1670. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1671. - docs:
  1672. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1673. - improve prune examples
  1674. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1675. -----------------------------
  1676. Bug fixes:
  1677. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1678. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1679. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1680. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1681. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1682. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1683. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1684. to 20, #1338
  1685. - FUSE:
  1686. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1687. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1688. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1689. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1690. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1691. New features:
  1692. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1693. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1694. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1695. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1696. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1697. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1698. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1699. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1700. server), #1291.
  1701. Other changes:
  1702. - Vagrantfile:
  1703. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1704. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1705. - tests:
  1706. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1707. - docs:
  1708. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1709. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1710. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1711. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1712. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1713. - added platform feature matrix
  1714. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1715. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1716. --------------------------
  1717. Bug fixes:
  1718. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1719. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1720. Other changes:
  1721. - tests:
  1722. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1723. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1724. - docs:
  1725. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1726. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1727. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1728. -----------------------------
  1729. New features:
  1730. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1731. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1732. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1733. Bug fixes:
  1734. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1735. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1736. repository code.
  1737. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1738. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1739. #1295
  1740. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1741. used), #1302. (*)
  1742. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1743. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1744. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1745. Other changes:
  1746. - tests:
  1747. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1748. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1749. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1750. - docs:
  1751. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1752. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1753. Notes:
  1754. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1755. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1756. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1757. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1758. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1759. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1760. --------------------------
  1761. Bug fixes:
  1762. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1763. Other changes:
  1764. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1765. - add release helper scripts
  1766. - Vagrantfile:
  1767. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1768. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1769. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1770. --------------------------
  1771. New features:
  1772. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1773. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1774. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1775. practically usable.
  1776. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1777. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1778. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1779. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1780. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1781. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1782. Bug fixes:
  1783. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1784. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1785. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1786. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1787. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1788. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1789. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1790. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1791. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1792. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1793. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1794. error reporting.
  1795. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1796. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1797. sync the containing directory.
  1798. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1799. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1800. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1801. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1802. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1803. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1804. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1805. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1806. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1807. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1808. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1809. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1810. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1811. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1812. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1813. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1814. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1815. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1816. - borg delete:
  1817. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1818. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1819. - borg check:
  1820. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1821. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1822. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1823. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1824. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1825. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1826. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1827. - tests:
  1828. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1829. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1830. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1831. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1832. Other changes:
  1833. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1834. - docs / help:
  1835. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1836. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1837. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1838. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1839. - document sshd settings, #545
  1840. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1841. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1842. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1843. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1844. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1845. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1846. - update cygwin installation docs
  1847. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1848. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1849. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1850. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1851. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1852. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1853. - Vagrantfile:
  1854. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1855. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1856. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1857. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1858. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1859. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1860. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1861. --------------------------
  1862. Bug fixes:
  1863. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1864. a prune run), #997
  1865. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1866. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1867. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1868. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1869. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1870. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1871. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1872. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1873. space), #1063
  1874. Other changes:
  1875. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1876. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1877. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1878. - docs / help:
  1879. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1880. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1881. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1882. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1883. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1884. --------------------------
  1885. Bug fixes:
  1886. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1887. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1888. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1889. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1890. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1891. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1892. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1893. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1894. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1895. a overflow would have occurred.
  1896. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1897. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1898. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1899. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1900. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1901. Other changes:
  1902. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1903. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1904. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1905. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1906. - docs:
  1907. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1908. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1909. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1910. --------------------------
  1911. New features:
  1912. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1913. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1914. also:
  1915. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1916. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1917. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1918. possibly CIFS).
  1919. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1920. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1921. this on his own.
  1922. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1923. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1924. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.

  1936. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1937. instead, #791
  1938. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826

  1951. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1952. --------------------------
  1953. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1954. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1955. check your backup logs.
  1956. Compatibility notes:
  1957. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1958. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1959. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1960. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1961. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1962. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1963. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1964. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1965. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1966. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1967. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1968. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1969. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1970. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1971. use --one-file-system instead
  1972. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1973. - -p now is same as --progress
  1974. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1975. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1976. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1977. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1978. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1979. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1980. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1981. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1982. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1983. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1984. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1985. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1986. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1987. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1988. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1989. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1990. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1991. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1992. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1993. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1994. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1995. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1996. usage).
  1997. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1998. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1999. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2000. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2001. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2002. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2003. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2004. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2005. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2006. New features:
  2007. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2008. Bug fixes:
  2009. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701

  2028. as borg info, #651
  2029. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  2030. Other changes:
  2031. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2032. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2033. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2034. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  2035. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4

  2091. ---------------------------
  2092. Compatibility notes:
  2093. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2094. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2095. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2096. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2097. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2098. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2099. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  2114. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2115. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2116. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2117. - support different styles for patterns:
  2118. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2119. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2120. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2121. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2122. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2123. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2124. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  2128. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2129. file list output
  2130. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2131. Other changes:
  2132. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2133. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2134. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2135. fixes #569
  2136. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2137. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2138. than debian7
  2139. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2140. - docs:
  2141. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ

  2154. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  2155. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2156. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2157. ---------------------------
  2158. Compatibility notes:
  2159. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2160. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2161. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2162. option.
  2163. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2164. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2165. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2166. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2167. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2168. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2169. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2170. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2171. Bug fixes:
  2172. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2173. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2174. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2175. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2176. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2177. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2178. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2179. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2180. New features:
  2181. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2182. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2183. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2184. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2185. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2186. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2187. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2188. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2189. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2190. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2191. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2192. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2193. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2194. - more progress indicators, #394
  2195. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2196. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  2197. Other changes:
  2198. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  2199. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  2200. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  2222. New features:
  2223. - borg create --exclude-if-present TAGFILE - exclude directories that have the
  2224. given file from the backup. You can additionally give --keep-tag-files to
  2225. preserve just the directory roots and the tag-files (but not backup other
  2226. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  2227. Other changes:
  2228. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),
  2229. completely remove have_cython() hack, do not use the "mock" library at build

  2415. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2416. ---------------------------
  2417. Compatibility notes:
  2418. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2419. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2420. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2421. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2422. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2423. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2424. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2425. Deprecations:
  2426. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2427. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2428. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2429. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2430. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2431. (which is the default).
  2432. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2433. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2434. New features:
  2435. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2436. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2437. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2438. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2439. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2440. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2441. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2442. Bug fixes:
  2443. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2444. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2445. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2446. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2447. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2448. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2449. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2450. Other changes:
  2451. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2452. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2453. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2454. - more tests for archiver
  2455. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2456. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2457. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2458. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2459. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2460. - improved docs:
  2461. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2462. - update docs about compression
  2463. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2464. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2465. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2466. - theme: use a lighter green
  2467. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2468. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2469. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2470. ---------------------------
  2471. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2472. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2473. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2474. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2475. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2476. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2477. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2478. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2479. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2480. Deprecations:
  2481. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2482. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2483. New features:
  2484. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2485. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2486. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2487. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2488. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2489. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2490. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2491. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2492. (attic #295).
  2493. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2494. fixes #85
  2495. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2496. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2497. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2498. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2499. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2500. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2501. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2502. Bug fixes:
  2503. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2504. signed size_t), #116
  2505. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2506. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2507. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2508. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2509. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2510. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2511. fixes attic #326.
  2512. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2513. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2514. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2515. Other changes:
  2516. - improved docs:
  2517. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2518. "as is" into the html docs.
  2519. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2520. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2521. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2522. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2523. - updated AUTHORS
  2524. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2525. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2526. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2527. - added docs about development
  2528. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2529. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2530. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2531. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2532. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2533. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2534. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2535. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2536. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2537. - improved tox configuration
  2538. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2539. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2540. modern installs
  2541. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2542. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2543. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2544. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2545. New features:
  2546. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2547. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2548. attic #167)
  2549. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2550. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2551. Other changes:
  2552. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2553. - some easy micro optimizations
  2554. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2555. ---------------------------
  2556. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2557. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2558. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2559. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2560. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2561. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2562. Bug fixes:
  2563. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2564. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2565. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2566. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  2570. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2571. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2572. always fails
  2573. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2574. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2575. New features:
  2576. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  2577. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2578. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2579. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2580. - create -v output more informative
  2581. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2582. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
