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

  85. =========
  86. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  87. --------------------------
  88. Compatibility notes:
  89. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  90. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  91. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  92. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  93. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  94. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  95. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  96. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  97. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  98. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  99. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  100. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  101. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  102. Fixes:
  103. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  104. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  105. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  106. controls post-authentication.
  107. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  108. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  109. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  110. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  111. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  112. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  113. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  114. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  115. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  116. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  117. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  118. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  119. New features:
  120. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  121. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  122. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  123. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  124. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  125. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  126. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  127. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  128. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  129. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  130. Other changes:
  131. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install

  133. - docs:
  134. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  135. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  136. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page

  150. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  151. --------------------------
  152. Fixes:
  153. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  154. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263

  161. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  162. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  163. New features:
  164. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  165. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  166. Other changes:
  167. - docs:
  168. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  169. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  170. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,

  172. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  173. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  174. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083

  180. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  181. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  182. --------------------------
  183. Compatibility notes:
  184. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  185. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  186. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  187. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  188. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  189. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  190. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  191. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  192. Fixes:
  193. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  194. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  195. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  196. these archives, see also #3157.
  197. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  198. slowness, #3130
  199. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  200. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  201. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  202. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  203. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  204. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  205. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  206. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  207. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  208. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  209. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  210. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  211. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  212. New features:
  213. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  214. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  215. Other changes:
  216. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  217. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  218. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  219. - docs:
  220. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1

  222. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  223. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  224. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  225. --------------------------
  226. Compatibility notes:
  227. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  228. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  229. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  230. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  231. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  232. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  233. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  234. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  235. Fixes:
  236. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  237. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  238. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  239. Other changes:
  240. - docs:
  241. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  242. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  243. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  244. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  245. -----------------------------
  246. Compatibility notes:
  247. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  248. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  249. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  250. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  251. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  252. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  253. New features:
  254. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  255. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  256. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  257. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  258. Fixes:
  259. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  260. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  261. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  262. Other changes:

  268. - docs:
  269. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  270. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  271. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  272. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  273. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  274. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  275. -----------------------------
  276. New features:

  291. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  292. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  293. -----------------------------
  294. Compatibility notes:
  295. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  296. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  297. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  298. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  299. and the default is now "mtime".
  300. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  301. New features:
  302. - None.
  303. Fixes:
  304. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  305. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  306. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  307. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  308. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  309. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  310. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  311. Other changes:
  312. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  313. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  314. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933

  322. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  323. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  324. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  325. - vagrant:
  326. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  327. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  328. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  329. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  330. -----------------------------
  331. Compatibility notes:
  332. - delete: removed short option for --cache-only

  343. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  344. #2174 #2175
  345. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  346. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  347. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  348. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853

  385. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  386. ----------------------------
  387. Compatibility notes:
  388. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  389. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  390. an append-only repository.
  391. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  392. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  393. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  394. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  395. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  396. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  397. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  398. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  399. not affect scripts.
  400. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  401. repositories they are.
  402. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  403. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  404. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  405. New features:
  406. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  407. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  408. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  409. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  410. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  411. - repository: index and hints files
  412. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  413. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  414. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  415. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  416. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp

  418. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  419. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  420. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573

  422. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  423. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  424. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  425. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  426. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  427. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  428. Fixes:
  429. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  430. reporting, #2496
  431. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  432. error message when parsing fails.
  433. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  434. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  435. - FUSE:
  436. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  437. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  438. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  439. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  440. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  441. - use decrypted cache
  442. - remove unnecessary normpaths
  443. - serve: ignore --append-only when initializing a repository (borg init), #2501

  457. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  458. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  459. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  460. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  461. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests

  916. Version 1.0.9rc1 (2016-11-27)
  917. -----------------------------
  918. Bug fixes:
  919. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  920. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  921. files in next backup), #1860.
  922. - borg check:
  923. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
  924. - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is
  925. *completely* empty, #1815.
  926. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  927. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  928. New features:
  929. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  930. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  931. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  932. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  933. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  934. Other changes:
  935. - docs:
  936. - display README correctly on PyPI

  945. - move security verification to support section
  946. - fix links in standalone README (:ref: tags)
  947. - add link to security contact in README
  948. - add FAQ about security
  949. - move fork differences to FAQ
  950. - add more details about resource usage

  952. - travis:
  953. - allow OS X failures until the brew cask osxfuse issue is fixed
  954. - caskroom osxfuse-beta gone, it's osxfuse now (3.5.3)
  955. - vagrant:
  956. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.3
  957. - remove llfuse from tox.ini at a central place
  958. - do not try to install llfuse on centos6
  959. - fix FUSE test for darwin, #1546
  960. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  961. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  962. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  963. ----------------------------
  964. Bug fixes:
  965. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  966. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is
  967. normally fixed by running another borg create/delete/prune.
  968. - fix broken --progress for double-cell paths (e.g. CJK), #1624
  969. - borg recreate: also catch SIGHUP
  970. - FUSE:

  972. - add parameter check to ItemCache.get to make potential failures more clear
  973. New features:
  974. - Archiver, RemoteRepository: add --remote-ratelimit (send data)
  975. - borg help compression, #1582
  976. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  977. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  978. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  979. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  980. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  981. Other changes:
  982. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  983. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  984. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  985. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  986. - fix module names in api.rst
  987. - hashindex: bump api_version
  988. Version 1.1.0b1 (2016-08-28)
  989. ----------------------------
  990. New features:
  991. - new commands:
  992. - borg recreate: re-create existing archives, #787 #686 #630 #70, also see
  993. #757, #770.
  994. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  995. - re-compress data
  996. - re-chunkify data, e.g. to have upgraded Attic / Borg 0.xx archives
  997. deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives or to experiment with chunker-params.
  998. - borg diff: show differences between archives
  999. - borg with-lock: execute a command with the repository locked, #990
  1000. - borg create:
  1001. - Flexible compression with pattern matching on path/filename,
  1002. and LZ4 heuristic for deciding compressibility, #810, #1007
  1003. - visit files in inode order (better speed, esp. for large directories and rotating disks)
  1004. - in-file checkpoints, #1217
  1005. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1006. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1007. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1008. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1009. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1010. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1011. - borg check:
  1012. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1013. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1014. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1015. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1016. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1017. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1018. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1019. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1020. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  1021. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),
  1022. which includes the SHA1 and SHA2 family as well as MD5
  1023. - borg prune:
  1024. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1025. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1026. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  1027. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,
  1028. --keep-last N and --keep-secondly N are equivalent, #537
  1029. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  1030. - borg extract:
  1031. - added --progress, #1449
  1032. - Linux: limited support for BSD flags, #1050
  1033. - borg info:
  1034. - output is now more similar to borg create --stats, #977
  1035. - borg mount:
  1036. - provide "borgfs" wrapper for borg mount, enables usage via fstab, #743
  1037. - "versions" mount option - when used with a repository mount, this gives
  1038. a merged, versioned view of the files in all archives, #729
  1039. - repository:
  1040. - added progress information to commit/compaction phase (often takes some time when deleting/pruning), #1519
  1041. - automatic recovery for some forms of repository inconsistency, #858
  1042. - check free space before going forward with a commit, #1336
  1043. - improved write performance (esp. for rotating media), #985
  1044. - new IO code for Linux
  1045. - raised default segment size to approx 512 MiB
  1046. - improved compaction performance, #1041
  1047. - reduced client CPU load and improved performance for remote repositories, #940
  1048. - options that imply output (--show-rc, --show-version, --list, --stats,
  1049. --progress) don't need -v/--info to have that output displayed, #865
  1050. - add archive comments (via borg (re)create --comment), #842
  1051. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731
  1052. - --show-version: shows/logs the borg version, #725
  1053. - added --debug-topic for granular debug logging, #1447
  1054. - use atomic file writing/updating for configuration and key files, #1377
  1055. - BORG_KEY_FILE environment variable, #1001
  1056. - self-testing module, #970
  1057. Bug fixes:
  1058. - list: fixed default output being produced if --format is given with empty parameter, #1489

  1062. - info: quote cmdline arguments that have spaces in them
  1063. - fix hardlinks failing in some cases for extracting subtrees, #761
  1064. Other changes:
  1065. - replace stdlib hmac with OpenSSL, zero-copy decrypt (10-15% increase in
  1066. performance of hash-lists and extract).
  1067. - improved chunker performance, #1021
  1068. - open repository segment files in exclusive mode (fail-safe), #1134

  1079. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  1080. - Docs:
  1081. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  1082. - Group options
  1083. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  1084. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1085. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1086. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1087. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1088. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1089. - expanded FAQ
  1090. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1091. - Tests:

  1093. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1094. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1095. --------------------------
  1096. Bug fixes:
  1097. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1098. New features:
  1099. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1100. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1101. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1102. Other changes:
  1103. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1104. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1105. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1106. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1107. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1108. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1109. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1110. - docs:
  1111. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1112. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1113. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1114. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1115. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1116. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  1117. - vagrant / tests:
  1118. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1119. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1120. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1121. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1122. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1123. -----------------------------
  1124. Bug fixes:
  1125. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1126. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1127. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1128. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1129. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1130. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1131. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1132. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1133. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1134. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1135. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1136. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1137. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1138. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1139. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1140. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1141. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1142. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1143. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1144. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1145. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1146. #1684
  1147. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1148. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1149. New features:
  1150. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1151. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1152. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1153. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1154. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1155. soon as it is input.
  1156. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1157. #1352
  1158. Other changes:
  1159. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1160. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1161. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1162. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1163. dataflow direction.
  1164. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1165. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1166. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1167. #1572
  1168. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1169. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1170. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1171. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1172. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1173. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1174. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1175. - docs:
  1176. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1177. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1178. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1179. - add bestpractices badge

  1187. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1188. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1189. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1190. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1191. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1192. - tests:
  1193. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1194. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1195. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1196. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1197. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1198. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1199. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1200. --------------------------
  1201. Security fixes:
  1202. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1203. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1204. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1205. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1206. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1207. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1208. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1209. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1210. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1211. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1212. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1213. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1214. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1215. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1216. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1217. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1218. Bug fixes:
  1219. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1220. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1221. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1222. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1223. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1224. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1225. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1226. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1227. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1228. New features:
  1229. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1230. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1231. Other changes:
  1232. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1233. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1234. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1235. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1236. -----------------------------
  1237. Bug fixes:
  1238. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1239. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1240. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1241. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1242. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1243. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1244. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1245. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1246. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1247. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1248. these would never be cleaned up.
  1249. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1250. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1251. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1252. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1253. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1254. path being a integer FD
  1255. Other changes:
  1256. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1257. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1258. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1259. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1260. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1261. real problem.
  1262. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1263. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1264. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1265. - docs:
  1266. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1267. - improve prune examples
  1268. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1269. -----------------------------
  1270. Bug fixes:
  1271. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1272. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1273. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1274. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1275. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1276. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1277. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1278. to 20, #1338
  1279. - FUSE:
  1280. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1281. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1282. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1283. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1284. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1285. New features:
  1286. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1287. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1288. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1289. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1290. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1291. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1292. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1293. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1294. server), #1291.
  1295. Other changes:
  1296. - Vagrantfile:
  1297. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1298. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1299. - tests:
  1300. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1301. - docs:
  1302. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1303. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1304. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1305. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1306. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1307. - added platform feature matrix
  1308. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1309. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1310. --------------------------
  1311. Bug fixes:
  1312. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1313. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1314. Other changes:
  1315. - tests:
  1316. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1317. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1318. - docs:
  1319. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1320. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1321. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1322. -----------------------------
  1323. New features:
  1324. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1325. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1326. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1327. Bug fixes:
  1328. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1329. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1330. repository code.
  1331. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1332. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1333. #1295
  1334. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1335. used), #1302. (*)
  1336. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1337. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1338. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1339. Other changes:
  1340. - tests:
  1341. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1342. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1343. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1344. - docs:
  1345. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1346. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1347. Notes:
  1348. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1349. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1350. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1351. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1352. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1353. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1354. --------------------------
  1355. Bug fixes:
  1356. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1357. Other changes:
  1358. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1359. - add release helper scripts
  1360. - Vagrantfile:
  1361. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1362. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1363. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1364. --------------------------
  1365. New features:
  1366. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1367. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1368. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1369. practically usable.
  1370. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1371. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1372. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1373. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1374. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1375. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1376. Bug fixes:
  1377. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1378. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1379. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1380. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1381. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1382. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1383. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1384. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1385. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1386. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1387. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1388. error reporting.
  1389. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1390. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1391. sync the containing directory.
  1392. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1393. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1394. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1395. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1396. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1397. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1398. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1399. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1400. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1401. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1402. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1403. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1404. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1405. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1406. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1407. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1408. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1409. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1410. - borg delete:
  1411. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1412. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1413. - borg check:
  1414. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1415. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1416. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1417. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1418. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1419. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1420. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1421. - tests:
  1422. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1423. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1424. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1425. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1426. Other changes:
  1427. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1428. - docs / help:
  1429. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1430. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1431. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1432. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1433. - document sshd settings, #545
  1434. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1435. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1436. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1437. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1438. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1439. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1440. - update cygwin installation docs
  1441. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1442. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1443. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1444. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1445. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1446. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1447. - Vagrantfile:
  1448. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1449. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1450. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1451. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1452. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1453. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1454. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1455. --------------------------
  1456. Bug fixes:
  1457. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1458. a prune run), #997
  1459. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1460. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1461. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1462. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1463. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1464. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1465. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1466. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1467. space), #1063
  1468. Other changes:
  1469. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1470. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1471. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1472. - docs / help:
  1473. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1474. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1475. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1476. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1477. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1478. --------------------------
  1479. Bug fixes:
  1480. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1481. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1482. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1483. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1484. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1485. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1486. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1487. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1488. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1489. a overflow would have occurred.
  1490. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1491. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1492. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1493. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1494. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1495. Other changes:
  1496. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1497. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1498. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1499. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1500. - docs:
  1501. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1502. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1503. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1504. --------------------------
  1505. New features:
  1506. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1507. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1508. also:
  1509. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1510. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1511. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1512. possibly CIFS).
  1513. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1514. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1515. this on his own.
  1516. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1517. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1518. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1519. Bug fixes:
  1520. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1521. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1522. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1523. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1524. - fix build on illumos
  1525. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1526. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1527. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1528. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1529. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1530. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1531. instead, #791
  1532. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1533. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1534. #798
  1535. Other changes:
  1536. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1537. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1538. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1539. - docs:
  1540. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1541. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1542. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1543. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1544. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1545. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1546. --------------------------
  1547. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1548. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1549. check your backup logs.
  1550. Compatibility notes:
  1551. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1552. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1553. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1554. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1555. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1556. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1557. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1558. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1559. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1560. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1561. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1562. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1563. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1564. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1565. use --one-file-system instead
  1566. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1567. - -p now is same as --progress
  1568. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1569. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1570. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1571. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1572. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1573. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1574. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1575. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1576. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1577. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1578. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1579. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1580. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1581. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1582. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1583. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1584. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1585. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1586. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1587. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1588. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1589. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1590. usage).
  1591. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1592. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1593. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1594. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1595. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1596. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1597. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1598. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1599. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1600. New features:
  1601. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1602. Bug fixes:
  1603. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1604. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1605. Other changes:
  1606. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1607. - docs:
  1608. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1609. - add Teemu to AUTHORS

  1614. New features:
  1615. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  1616. - borg list --list-format
  1617. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  1618. Bug fixes:
  1619. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  1620. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1621. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1622. as borg info, #651
  1623. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1624. Other changes:
  1625. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1626. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1627. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1628. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1629. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1630. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1631. - docs:
  1632. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1633. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1634. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1635. - fix order in release process
  1636. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1642. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  1643. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1644. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636
  1645. Version 1.0.0rc1 (2016-02-07)
  1646. -----------------------------
  1647. New features:
  1648. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1649. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1650. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)

  1685. ---------------------------
  1686. Compatibility notes:
  1687. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1688. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1689. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1690. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1691. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1692. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1693. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1694. Bug fixes:
  1695. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  1705. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1706. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1707. New features:
  1708. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1709. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1710. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1711. - support different styles for patterns:
  1712. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1713. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1714. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1715. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1716. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1717. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1718. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1719. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1720. files or for borg check repo), #500

  1722. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1723. file list output
  1724. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1725. Other changes:
  1726. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1727. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1728. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1729. fixes #569
  1730. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1731. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1732. than debian7
  1733. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1734. - docs:
  1735. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ

  1749. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1750. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1751. ---------------------------
  1752. Compatibility notes:
  1753. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1754. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1755. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1756. option.
  1757. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1758. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1759. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1760. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1761. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1762. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1763. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1764. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1765. Bug fixes:
  1766. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1767. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1768. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1769. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1770. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1771. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1772. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1773. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1774. New features:
  1775. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1776. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1777. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1778. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1779. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1780. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1781. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1782. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1783. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1784. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1785. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1786. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1787. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1788. - more progress indicators, #394
  1789. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1790. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  2013. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2014. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2015. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2016. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2017. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2018. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2019. Deprecations:
  2020. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2021. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2022. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2023. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2024. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2025. (which is the default).
  2026. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2027. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2028. New features:
  2029. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2030. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2031. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2032. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2033. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2034. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2035. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2036. Bug fixes:
  2037. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2038. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2039. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2040. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2041. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2042. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2043. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2044. Other changes:
  2045. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2046. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2047. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2048. - more tests for archiver
  2049. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2050. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2051. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2052. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2053. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2054. - improved docs:
  2055. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2056. - update docs about compression
  2057. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2058. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2059. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2060. - theme: use a lighter green
  2061. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2062. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2063. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2064. ---------------------------
  2065. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2066. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2067. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2068. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2069. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2070. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2071. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2072. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2073. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2074. Deprecations:
  2075. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2076. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2077. New features:
  2078. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2079. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2080. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2081. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2082. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2083. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2084. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2085. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2086. (attic #295).
  2087. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2088. fixes #85
  2089. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2090. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2091. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2092. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2093. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2094. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2095. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2096. Bug fixes:
  2097. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2098. signed size_t), #116
  2099. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2100. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2101. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2102. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2103. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2104. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2105. fixes attic #326.
  2106. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2107. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2108. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2109. Other changes:
  2110. - improved docs:
  2111. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2112. "as is" into the html docs.
  2113. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2114. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2115. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2116. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2117. - updated AUTHORS
  2118. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity

  2120. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2121. - added docs about development
  2122. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2123. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2124. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2125. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2126. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2127. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2128. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2129. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2130. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2131. - improved tox configuration
  2132. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2133. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2134. modern installs
  2135. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2136. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2137. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2138. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2139. New features:
  2140. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2141. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2142. attic #167)
  2143. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2144. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2145. Other changes:
  2146. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2147. - some easy micro optimizations
  2148. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2149. ---------------------------
  2150. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2151. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2152. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2153. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2154. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2155. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2156. Bug fixes:
  2157. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2158. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2159. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2160. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  2161. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282
  2162. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  2163. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  2164. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2165. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2166. always fails
  2167. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2168. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2169. New features:

  2171. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2172. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2173. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2174. - create -v output more informative
  2175. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2176. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
