  5. .. _broken_validator:
  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
  110. .. _changelog:
  111. Changelog
  112. =========
  113. Version 1.2.0a6 (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. - delete / prune: consider part files correctly for stats, #4507
  148. - create: only run stat_simple_attrs() once
  149. - create: --stats does not work with --dry-run, exit with error msg, #4373
  150. - give "invalid repo" error msg if repo config not found, #4411
  151. New features:
  152. - display msgpack version as part of sysinfo (e.g. in tracebacks)

  169. Other changes:
  170. - major setup code refactoring (especially how libraries like openssl, liblz4,
  171. libzstd, libb2 are discovered and how it falls back to code bundled with
  172. borg), new: uses pkg-config now (and needs python "pkgconfig" package
  173. installed), #1925
  174. if you are a borg package maintainer, please try packaging this
  175. (see comments in setup.py).
  176. - Vagrantfile: add zstd, reorder, build env vars, #4444

  188. - more LibreSSL build fixes: LibreSSL has HMAC_CTX_free and HMAC_CTX_new
  189. New features:
  190. - check: incremental repo check (only checks crc32 for segment entries), #1657
  191. borg check --repository-only --max-duration SECONDS ...
  192. - delete: timestamp for borg delete --info added, #4359
  193. Other changes:
  194. - redo stale lock handling, #3986
  195. drop BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE (please use BORG_HOST_ID if needed).
  196. borg now always assumes it has a unique host id - either automatically
  197. from fqdn plus uuid.getnode() or overridden via BORG_HOST_ID.
  198. - docs:
  199. - added Alpine Linux to distribution list
  200. - elaborate on append-only mode docs
  201. - vagrant:

  207. ----------------------------
  208. Fixes:
  209. - LibreSSL build fixes, #4403
  210. - dummy ACL/xattr code fixes (used by OpenBSD and others), #4403

  212. Version 1.2.0a2 and earlier (2019-02-24)
  213. ----------------------------------------
  214. New features:
  215. - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
  216. compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
  217. data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
  218. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  219. writing command.
  220. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  221. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  222. more robustness.
  223. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  224. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  225. commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
  226. Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
  227. Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
  228. - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
  229. - add fixed blocksize chunker (see --chunker-params docs), #1086
  230. Fixes:
  231. - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265
  232. - use more FDs, avoid race conditions on active fs, #906, #908, #1038
  233. - add O_NOFOLLOW to base flags, #908
  234. - compact:
  235. - require >10% freeable space in a segment, #2985
  236. - repository compaction now automatically removes unneeded 17byte
  237. commit-only segments, #2850
  238. - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
  239. Other changes:
  240. - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
  241. segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947
  242. - use pyinstaller v3.3.1 to build binaries
  243. - update bundled zstd code to 1.3.8, #4210
  244. - update bundled lz4 code to 1.8.3, #4209
  245. - msgpack:
  246. - switch to recent "msgpack" pypi pkg name, #3890
  247. - wrap msgpack to avoid future compat complications, #3632, #2738
  248. - support msgpack 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, #4220, #4308
  249. - llfuse: modernize / simplify llfuse version requirements
  250. - code refactorings / internal improvements:
  251. - include size/csize/nfiles[_parts] stats into archive, #3241
  252. - calc_stats: use archive stats metadata, if available
  253. - crypto: refactored crypto to use an AEAD style API
  254. - crypto: new AES-OCB, CHACHA20-POLY1305
  255. - create: use less syscalls by not using a python file obj, #906, #3962
  256. - diff: refactor the diff functionality to new ItemDiff class, #2475
  257. - archive: create FilesystemObjectProcessors class
  258. - helpers: make a package, split into smaller modules
  259. - xattrs: move to platform package, use cython instead ctypes, #2495
  260. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  261. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  262. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
  263. - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
  264. - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
  265. - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking
  266. - multithreading preparations (not used yet):
  267. - item.to_optr(), Item.from_optr()
  268. - fix chunker holding the GIL during blocking I/O
  269. - C code portability / basic MSC compatibility, #4147, #2677
  270. - testing:
  271. - vagrant: new VMs for linux/bsd/darwin, most with OpenSSL 1.1 and py36
  272. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  273. --------------------------
  274. Compatibility notes:
  275. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  276. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  277. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  278. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  279. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  280. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  281. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  282. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  283. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  284. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  285. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  286. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  287. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  288. Fixes:
  289. - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903
  290. "default_permissions" is now enforced by borg by default to let the
  291. kernel check uid/gid/mode based permissions.
  292. "ignore_permissions" can be given to not enforce "default_permissions".
  293. - make "hostname" short, even on misconfigured systems, #4262
  294. - fix free space calculation on macOS (and others?), #4289
  295. - config: quit with error message when no key is provided, #4223
  296. - recover_segment: handle too small segment files correctly, #4272
  297. - correctly release memoryview, #4243
  298. - avoid diaper pattern in configparser by opening files, #4263
  299. - add "# cython: language_level=3" directive to .pyx files, #4214
  300. - info: consider part files for "This archive" stats, #3522

  306. - add archive name to check --repair output, #3447
  307. - check for unsupported msgpack versions
  308. - shell completions:
  309. - new shell completions for borg 1.1.9
  310. - more complete shell completions for borg mount -o
  311. - added shell completions for borg help
  312. - option arguments for zsh tab completion
  313. - docs:
  314. - add FAQ regarding free disk space check, #3905
  315. - update BORG_PASSCOMMAND example and clarify variable expansion, #4249
  316. - FAQ regarding change of compression settings, #4222

  326. Version 1.1.8 (2018-12-09)
  327. --------------------------
  328. Fixes:
  329. - enforce storage quota if set by serve-command, #4093
  330. - invalid locations: give err msg containing parsed location, #4179
  331. - list repo: add placeholders for hostname and username, #4130
  332. - on linux, symlinks can't have ACLs, so don't try to set any, #4044
  333. New features:
  334. - create: added PATH::archive output on INFO log level
  335. - read a passphrase from a file descriptor specified in the
  336. BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD environment variable.
  337. Other:
  338. - docs:
  339. - option --format is required for some expensive-to-compute values for json
  340. borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
  341. they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
  342. in standard mode as well as in --json mode.
  343. - tell that our binaries are x86/x64 amd/intel, bauerj has ARM

  354. - use python 3.5.6 for builds
  355. Version 1.1.7 (2018-08-11)
  356. --------------------------
  357. Compatibility notes:
  358. - added support for Python 3.7

  364. - some fixes for bugs which likely did not result in problems in practice:
  365. - fixed logic bug in platform module API version check
  366. - fixed xattr/acl function prototypes, added missing ones
  367. New features:
  368. - init: add warning to store both key and passphrase at safe place(s)

  494. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  495. --------------------------
  496. Compatibility notes:
  497. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  498. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  499. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  500. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  501. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  502. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  503. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  504. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  505. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  506. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  507. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  508. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  509. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  510. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  511. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  512. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  513. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  514. be used:
  515. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  516. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  517. Fixes:
  518. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  519. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  520. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  521. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  522. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  523. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  524. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  525. New features:
  526. - added zstd compression. try it!
  527. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  528. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  529. Other changes:
  530. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  531. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  532. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  533. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  534. - updated fish/bash completions
  535. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  536. - docs:
  537. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  538. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  539. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  540. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  541. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  542. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  543. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  544. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  545. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  546. - blake2 was already bundled
  547. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  548. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  549. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  550. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  551. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  552. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  553. --------------------------
  554. Fixes:
  555. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  556. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  557. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  558. controls post-authentication.
  559. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  560. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  561. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  562. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  563. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  564. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  565. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  566. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  567. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  568. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  569. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  570. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  571. New features:
  572. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  573. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  574. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  575. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  576. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  577. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  578. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  579. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  580. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  581. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  582. Other changes:
  583. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  584. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  585. - docs:
  586. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  587. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  588. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  589. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  590. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  591. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  592. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  593. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  594. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  595. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  596. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  597. - update release checklist about security fixes
  598. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  599. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  600. bsdflags, #3239
  601. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  602. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  603. --------------------------
  604. Fixes:
  605. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  606. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  607. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  608. handling for stat() call, #3209
  609. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  610. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  611. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  612. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  613. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  614. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  615. New features:
  616. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  617. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  618. Other changes:
  619. - docs:
  620. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  621. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  622. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  623. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  624. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  625. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  626. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  627. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  628. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  629. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  630. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  631. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  632. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  633. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  634. --------------------------
  635. Compatibility notes:
  636. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  637. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  638. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  639. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  640. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  641. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  642. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  643. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  644. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  645. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  646. speed up backup creation.
  647. Fixes:
  648. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  649. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  650. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  651. these archives, see also #3157.
  652. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  653. slowness, #3130
  654. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  655. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  656. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  657. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  658. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  659. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  660. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  661. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  662. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  663. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  664. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  665. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  666. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  667. New features:
  668. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  669. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  670. Other changes:
  671. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  672. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  673. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  674. - docs:
  675. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  676. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  677. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  678. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  679. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  680. --------------------------
  681. Compatibility notes:
  682. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  683. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  684. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  685. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  686. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  687. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  688. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  689. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  690. Fixes:
  691. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  692. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  693. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  694. Other changes:
  695. - docs:
  696. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  697. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  698. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  699. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  700. -----------------------------
  701. Compatibility notes:
  702. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  703. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  704. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  705. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  706. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  707. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  708. New features:
  709. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  710. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  711. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  712. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  713. Fixes:
  714. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  715. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  716. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  717. Other changes:
  718. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  719. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  720. - vagrant:
  721. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  722. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  723. - docs:
  724. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  725. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  726. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  727. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  728. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  729. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  730. -----------------------------
  731. New features:
  732. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  733. Fixes:
  734. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  735. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  736. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  737. Other changes:
  738. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  739. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  740. - docs:
  741. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  742. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  743. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  744. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  745. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  746. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  747. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  748. -----------------------------
  749. Compatibility notes:
  750. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  751. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  752. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  753. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  754. and the default is now "mtime".
  755. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  756. New features:
  757. - None.
  758. Fixes:
  759. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  760. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  761. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  762. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  763. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  764. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  765. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  766. Other changes:
  767. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  768. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628

  840. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  841. ----------------------------
  842. Compatibility notes:
  843. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  844. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  845. an append-only repository.
  846. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  847. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  848. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  849. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  850. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  851. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  852. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  853. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  854. not affect scripts.
  855. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  856. repositories they are.
  857. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  858. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  859. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  860. New features:
  861. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  862. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  863. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  864. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  865. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  866. - repository: index and hints files
  867. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  868. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  869. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  870. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  871. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  872. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  873. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  874. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  875. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  876. - borg export-tar, #2519
  877. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  878. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  879. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  880. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  881. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  882. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  883. Fixes:
  884. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  885. reporting, #2496
  886. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  887. error message when parsing fails.
  888. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  889. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  890. - FUSE:
  891. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  892. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  893. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  894. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  895. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  896. - use decrypted cache
  897. - remove unnecessary normpaths
  898. - serve: ignore --append-only when initializing a repository (borg init), #2501

  911. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  912. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  913. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  914. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  915. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  916. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  917. Other changes:
  918. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  919. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  920. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  921. - restrict key file names, #2560
  922. - document follow_symlinks requirements, check libc, use stat and chown

  927. - increase DEFAULT_SEGMENTS_PER_DIR to 1000
  928. - chunker: fix invalid use of types (function only used by tests)

  1197. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  1198. ---------------------------
  1199. Bug fixes:
  1200. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  1201. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  1202. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  1203. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  1204. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  1205. New features:
  1206. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  1207. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  1208. ``--qr-html`` option.
  1209. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  1210. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  1211. "key export" files and key files.
  1212. Other changes:
  1213. - docs:
  1214. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  1215. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  1216. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  1217. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  1218. ----------------------------
  1219. Compatibility notes:
  1220. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  1221. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.
  1222. Bug fixes:
  1223. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  1224. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  1225. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
  1226. - borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
  1227. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  1228. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041
  1229. New features:
  1230. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  1231. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  1232. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1233. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1234. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1235. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  1236. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  1237. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663

  1239. - implement "health" item formatter key, #1749
  1240. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  1241. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  1242. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  1243. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  1244. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  1245. Other changes:
  1246. - borg recreate:
  1247. - remove special-cased --dry-run
  1248. - update --help
  1249. - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
  1250. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  1251. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  1252. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  1253. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  1254. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  1255. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  1256. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  1257. - improve metadata handling speed
  1258. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  1259. - improve / add progress displays, #1721
  1260. - check for index vs. segment files object count mismatch
  1261. - make RPC protocol more extensible: use named parameters.
  1262. - RemoteRepository: misc. code cleanups / refactors

  1264. - docs:
  1265. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  1266. - quickstart: only give one possible ssh url syntax, all others are
  1267. documented in usage chapter.
  1268. - mention file://
  1269. - document repo URLs / archive location
  1270. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  1271. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  1272. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  1273. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1274. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1275. - tests:
  1276. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1277. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1278. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1279. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  1280. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  1281. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  1283. ------------------------------
  1284. Bug fixes:
  1285. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  1286. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1287. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1288. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  1289. current file, #1993
  1290. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1291. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  1292. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  1293. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  1294. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  1339. Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
  1340. --------------------------
  1341. Security fixes:
  1342. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1343. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1344. take.
  1345. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1346. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1347. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1348. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1349. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1350. Bug fixes:

  1373. Bug fixes:
  1374. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1375. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1376. files in next backup), #1860.
  1377. - borg check:
  1378. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1385. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1386. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1387. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1388. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853

  1432. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  1433. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1434. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1435. - currently used for borg list/info/delete

  1533. - created data classes instead of passing dictionaries around, #981, #1158, #1161
  1534. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  1535. - Docs:
  1536. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  1537. - Group options
  1538. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  1539. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1540. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1541. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1542. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1543. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1544. - expanded FAQ
  1545. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1546. - Tests:
  1547. - vagrant: add ubuntu/xenial 64bit - this box has still some issues
  1548. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1549. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1550. --------------------------
  1551. Bug fixes:
  1552. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1553. New features:
  1554. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1555. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1556. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1557. Other changes:
  1558. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1559. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1560. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1561. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1562. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1563. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1564. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1565. - docs:
  1566. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1567. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1568. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1569. - update usage.rst / api.rst

  1575. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1576. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1577. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1578. -----------------------------
  1579. Bug fixes:
  1580. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1581. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1582. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1583. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1584. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1585. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1586. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1587. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1588. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1589. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1590. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1591. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1592. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1593. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1594. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1595. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1596. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1597. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1598. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1599. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1600. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1601. #1684
  1602. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1603. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1604. New features:
  1605. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1606. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1607. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1608. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1609. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1610. soon as it is input.
  1611. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1612. #1352
  1613. Other changes:
  1614. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1615. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1616. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1617. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1618. dataflow direction.
  1619. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1620. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1621. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1622. #1572
  1623. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1624. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1625. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1626. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1627. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1628. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1629. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1630. - docs:
  1631. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1632. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1633. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1634. - add bestpractices badge
  1635. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561
  1636. - improve borg info --help, explain size infos, #1532
  1637. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  1638. - add contribution guidelines for developers
  1639. - development.rst: add sphinx_rtd_theme to the sphinx install command
  1640. - adjust border color in borg.css
  1641. - add debug-info usage help file
  1642. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1643. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1644. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1645. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1646. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1647. - tests:
  1648. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1649. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1650. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1651. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1652. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1653. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1654. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1655. --------------------------
  1656. Security fixes:
  1657. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1658. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1659. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1660. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1661. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1662. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1663. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1664. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1665. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1666. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1667. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1668. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1669. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1670. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1671. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1672. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1673. Bug fixes:
  1674. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1675. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1676. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1677. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1678. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1679. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1680. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1681. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1682. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1683. New features:
  1684. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1685. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1686. Other changes:
  1687. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1688. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1689. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1690. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1691. -----------------------------
  1692. Bug fixes:
  1693. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1694. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1695. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1696. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1697. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1698. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1699. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1700. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1701. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1702. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1703. these would never be cleaned up.
  1704. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1705. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1706. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1707. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1708. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1709. path being a integer FD
  1710. Other changes:
  1711. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1712. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1713. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1714. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1715. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1716. real problem.
  1717. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1718. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1719. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1720. - docs:
  1721. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1722. - improve prune examples
  1723. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1724. -----------------------------
  1725. Bug fixes:
  1726. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1727. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1728. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1729. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1730. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1731. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1732. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1733. to 20, #1338
  1734. - FUSE:
  1735. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1736. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1737. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1738. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1739. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1740. New features:
  1741. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1742. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1743. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1744. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1745. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1746. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1747. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1748. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1749. server), #1291.
  1750. Other changes:
  1751. - Vagrantfile:
  1752. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1753. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1754. - tests:
  1755. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1756. - docs:
  1757. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1758. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1759. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1760. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1761. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1762. - added platform feature matrix
  1763. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1764. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1765. --------------------------
  1766. Bug fixes:
  1767. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1768. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1769. Other changes:
  1770. - tests:
  1771. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1772. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1773. - docs:
  1774. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1775. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1776. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1777. -----------------------------
  1778. New features:
  1779. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1780. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1781. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1782. Bug fixes:
  1783. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1784. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1785. repository code.
  1786. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1787. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1788. #1295
  1789. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1790. used), #1302. (*)
  1791. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1792. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1793. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1794. Other changes:
  1795. - tests:
  1796. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1797. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1798. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1799. - docs:
  1800. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1801. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1802. Notes:
  1803. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1804. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1805. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1806. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1807. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1808. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1809. --------------------------
  1810. Bug fixes:
  1811. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1812. Other changes:
  1813. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1814. - add release helper scripts
  1815. - Vagrantfile:
  1816. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1817. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1818. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1819. --------------------------
  1820. New features:
  1821. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1822. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1823. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1824. practically usable.
  1825. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1826. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1827. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1828. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1829. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1830. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1831. Bug fixes:
  1832. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1833. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1834. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1835. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1836. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1837. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1838. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1839. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1840. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1841. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1842. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1843. error reporting.
  1844. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1845. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1846. sync the containing directory.
  1847. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1848. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1849. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1850. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1851. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1852. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1853. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1854. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1855. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1856. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1857. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1858. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1859. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1860. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1861. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1862. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1863. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1864. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1865. - borg delete:
  1866. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1867. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1868. - borg check:
  1869. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1870. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1871. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1872. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1873. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1874. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1875. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1876. - tests:
  1877. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1878. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1879. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1880. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1881. Other changes:
  1882. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1883. - docs / help:
  1884. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1885. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1886. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1887. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1888. - document sshd settings, #545
  1889. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1890. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1891. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1892. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1893. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1894. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1895. - update cygwin installation docs
  1896. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1897. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1898. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1899. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1900. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1901. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1902. - Vagrantfile:
  1903. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1904. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1905. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1906. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1907. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1908. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1909. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1910. --------------------------
  1911. Bug fixes:
  1912. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1913. a prune run), #997
  1914. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1915. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1916. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1917. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1918. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1919. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1920. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1921. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1922. space), #1063
  1923. Other changes:
  1924. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1925. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1926. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok

  1932. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1933. --------------------------
  1934. Bug fixes:
  1935. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1936. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1937. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1938. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1939. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1940. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1941. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1942. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1943. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1944. a overflow would have occurred.
  1945. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1946. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1947. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1948. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1949. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1950. Other changes:
  1951. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1952. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1953. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1954. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1955. - docs:
  1956. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1957. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1958. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1959. --------------------------
  1960. New features:
  1961. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1962. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1963. also:
  1964. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1965. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1966. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1967. possibly CIFS).
  1968. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1969. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1970. this on his own.
  1971. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1972. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1973. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1974. Bug fixes:
  1975. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1976. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1977. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1978. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1979. - fix build on illumos
  1980. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1981. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1982. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1983. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1984. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1985. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1986. instead, #791
  1987. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1988. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1989. #798
  1990. Other changes:
  1991. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1992. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1993. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1994. - docs:
  1995. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1996. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1997. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1998. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1999. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  2000. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  2001. --------------------------
  2002. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  2003. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  2004. check your backup logs.
  2005. Compatibility notes:
  2006. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  2007. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  2008. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  2009. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  2010. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  2011. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  2012. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  2013. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  2014. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  2015. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  2016. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  2017. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2018. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2019. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2020. use --one-file-system instead
  2021. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2022. - -p now is same as --progress
  2023. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2024. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2025. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2026. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2027. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2028. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2029. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2030. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2031. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2032. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2033. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2034. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2035. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2036. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2037. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2038. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2039. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2040. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2041. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2042. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2043. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2044. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2045. usage).
  2046. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2047. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2048. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2049. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2050. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2051. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2052. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2053. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2054. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2055. New features:
  2056. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2057. Bug fixes:
  2058. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  2059. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  2060. Other changes:
  2061. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  2062. - docs:
  2063. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  2064. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  2065. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698

  2071. - borg list --list-format
  2072. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  2073. Bug fixes:
  2074. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  2075. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  2076. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  2077. as borg info, #651
  2078. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  2079. Other changes:
  2080. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2081. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2082. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2083. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  2084. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  2085. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  2086. - docs:
  2087. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  2088. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  2089. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  2090. - fix order in release process
  2091. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  2097. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  2098. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  2099. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  2103. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  2104. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  2105. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  2106. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  2107. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544

  2117. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  2118. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  2119. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  2120. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  2121. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  2122. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  2123. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  2124. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  2125. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  2138. - misc. updates and fixes
  2139. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  2140. ---------------------------
  2141. Compatibility notes:
  2142. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2143. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2144. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2145. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2146. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2147. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2148. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  2149. Bug fixes:
  2150. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  2154. - log stats consistently, #526
  2155. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496

  2160. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  2161. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  2162. New features:
  2163. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2164. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2165. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2166. - support different styles for patterns:
  2167. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2168. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2169. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2170. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2171. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2172. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2173. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  2174. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  2175. files or for borg check repo), #500
  2176. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  2177. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2178. file list output
  2179. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2180. Other changes:
  2181. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2182. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2183. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2184. fixes #569
  2185. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2186. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2187. than debian7
  2188. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2189. - docs:
  2190. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  2191. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  2200. - rephrase the mailing list section
  2201. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  2202. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  2203. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  2204. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2205. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2206. ---------------------------
  2207. Compatibility notes:
  2208. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2209. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2210. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2211. option.
  2212. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2213. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2214. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2215. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2216. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2217. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2218. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2219. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2220. Bug fixes:
  2221. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2222. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2223. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2224. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2225. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2226. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2227. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2228. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2229. New features:
  2230. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2231. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2232. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2233. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2234. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2235. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2236. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2237. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2238. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2239. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2240. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2241. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2242. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2243. - more progress indicators, #394
  2244. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2245. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  2246. Other changes:
  2247. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  2248. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  2249. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239
  2250. - increase rpc protocol version to 2 (see also Compatibility notes), #458
  2251. - silence borg by default (via default log level WARNING)
  2252. - get rid of C compiler warnings, #391
  2253. - upgrade OS X FUSE to 3.0.9 on the OS X binary build system
  2254. - use python 3.5.1 to build binaries
  2255. - docs:
  2256. - new mailing list borgbackup@python.org, #468
  2257. - readthedocs: color and logo improvements
  2258. - load coverage icons over SSL (avoids mixed content)
  2259. - more precise binary installation steps
  2260. - update release procedure docs about OS X FUSE
  2261. - FAQ entry about unexpected 'A' status for unchanged file(s), #403
  2262. - add docs about 'E' file status
  2263. - add "borg upgrade" docs, #464

  2463. - Darwin (OS X Yosemite)
  2464. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2465. ---------------------------
  2466. Compatibility notes:
  2467. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2468. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2469. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2470. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2471. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2472. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2473. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2474. Deprecations:
  2475. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2476. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2477. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2478. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2479. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2480. (which is the default).
  2481. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2482. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2483. New features:
  2484. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2485. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2486. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2487. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2488. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2489. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2490. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2491. Bug fixes:
  2492. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2493. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2494. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2495. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2496. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2497. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2498. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2499. Other changes:
  2500. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2501. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2502. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2503. - more tests for archiver
  2504. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2505. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2506. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2507. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2508. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2509. - improved docs:
  2510. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2511. - update docs about compression
  2512. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2513. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2514. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2515. - theme: use a lighter green
  2516. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2517. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2518. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2519. ---------------------------
  2520. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2521. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2522. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2523. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2524. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2525. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2526. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2527. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2528. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2529. Deprecations:
  2530. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2531. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2532. New features:
  2533. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2534. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2535. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2536. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2537. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2538. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2539. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2540. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2541. (attic #295).
  2542. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2543. fixes #85
  2544. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2545. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2546. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2547. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2548. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2549. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2550. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2551. Bug fixes:
  2552. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2553. signed size_t), #116
  2554. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2555. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2556. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2557. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2558. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2559. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2560. fixes attic #326.
  2561. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2562. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2563. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2564. Other changes:
  2565. - improved docs:
  2566. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2567. "as is" into the html docs.
  2568. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2569. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2570. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2571. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2572. - updated AUTHORS
  2573. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2574. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2575. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2576. - added docs about development
  2577. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2578. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2579. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2580. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2581. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2582. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2583. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2584. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2585. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2586. - improved tox configuration
  2587. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2588. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2589. modern installs
  2590. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2591. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2592. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2593. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2594. New features:
  2595. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2596. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2597. attic #167)
  2598. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2599. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2600. Other changes:
  2601. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2602. - some easy micro optimizations
  2603. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2604. ---------------------------
  2605. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2606. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2607. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2608. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2609. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2610. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2611. Bug fixes:
  2612. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2613. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2614. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2615. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  2616. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282
  2617. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  2618. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  2619. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2620. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2621. always fails
  2622. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2623. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2624. New features:
  2625. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  2626. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2627. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2628. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
