  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.

  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

  112. =========
  113. Version 1.1.6 (not released yet)
  114. --------------------------------
  115. Compatibility notes:
  116. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  117. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  118. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  119. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  120. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  121. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  122. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  123. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  124. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  125. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  126. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  127. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  128. See the --files-cache docs for details.

  225. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  226. --------------------------
  227. Compatibility notes:
  228. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  229. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  230. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  231. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  232. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  233. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  234. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  235. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  236. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  237. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  238. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  239. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  240. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  241. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  242. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  243. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  244. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  245. be used:
  246. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  247. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  248. Fixes:
  249. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  250. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  251. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  252. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  253. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  254. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  255. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  256. New features:
  257. - added zstd compression. try it!
  258. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  259. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  260. Other changes:
  261. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  262. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  263. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  264. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  265. - updated fish/bash completions
  266. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  267. - docs:
  268. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  269. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  270. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  271. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  272. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  273. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  274. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  275. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  276. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  277. - blake2 was already bundled
  278. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  279. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  280. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  281. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  282. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  283. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  284. --------------------------
  285. Fixes:
  286. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  287. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  288. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  289. controls post-authentication.
  290. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  291. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  292. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  293. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  294. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  295. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  296. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  297. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  298. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  299. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  300. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  301. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  302. New features:
  303. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  304. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  305. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  306. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  307. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  308. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  309. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  310. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  311. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  312. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  313. Other changes:
  314. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  315. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  316. - docs:
  317. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  318. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  319. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  320. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  321. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  322. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  323. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  324. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  325. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  326. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  327. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  328. - update release checklist about security fixes
  329. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  330. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  331. bsdflags, #3239
  332. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  333. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  334. --------------------------
  335. Fixes:
  336. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  337. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  338. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  339. handling for stat() call, #3209
  340. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  341. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  342. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  343. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  344. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  345. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  346. New features:
  347. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  348. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  349. Other changes:
  350. - docs:
  351. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  352. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  353. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  354. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  355. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  356. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  357. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  358. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  359. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  360. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  361. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  362. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  363. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  364. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  365. --------------------------
  366. Compatibility notes:
  367. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  368. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  369. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  370. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  371. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  372. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  373. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  374. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  375. Fixes:
  376. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  377. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  378. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  379. these archives, see also #3157.
  380. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  381. slowness, #3130
  382. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  383. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  384. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  385. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  386. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  387. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  388. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  389. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  390. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  391. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  392. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  393. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  394. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  395. New features:
  396. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  397. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  398. Other changes:
  399. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  400. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  401. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  402. - docs:
  403. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  404. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  405. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  406. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  407. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  408. --------------------------
  409. Compatibility notes:
  410. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  411. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  412. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  413. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  414. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  415. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  416. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  417. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  418. Fixes:
  419. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  420. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  421. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  422. Other changes:
  423. - docs:
  424. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  425. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  426. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  427. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  428. -----------------------------
  429. Compatibility notes:
  430. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  431. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  432. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  433. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  434. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  435. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  436. New features:
  437. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  438. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  439. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  440. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  441. Fixes:
  442. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  443. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  444. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  445. Other changes:
  446. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  447. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  448. - vagrant:
  449. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  450. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  451. - docs:
  452. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990

  476. -----------------------------
  477. Compatibility notes:
  478. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  479. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  480. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  481. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  482. and the default is now "mtime".
  483. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).

  568. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  569. ----------------------------
  570. Compatibility notes:
  571. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  572. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  573. an append-only repository.
  574. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  575. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  576. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  577. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  578. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  579. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  580. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  581. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  582. not affect scripts.
  583. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  584. repositories they are.
  585. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  586. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  587. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  588. New features:
  589. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  590. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  591. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  592. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  593. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  594. - repository: index and hints files
  595. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  596. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  597. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  598. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  599. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  600. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  601. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  602. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  603. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573

  605. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  606. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  607. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  608. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  609. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  610. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  611. Fixes:
  612. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  613. reporting, #2496
  614. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  615. error message when parsing fails.
  616. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  617. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  618. - FUSE:
  619. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  620. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  621. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  622. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  623. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  624. - use decrypted cache
  625. - remove unnecessary normpaths
  626. - serve: ignore --append-only when initializing a repository (borg init), #2501

  639. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  640. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  641. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  642. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  643. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  644. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  645. Other changes:
  646. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  647. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  648. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  649. - restrict key file names, #2560

  925. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  926. ---------------------------
  927. Bug fixes:
  928. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  929. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  930. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  931. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  932. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  933. New features:
  934. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  935. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  936. ``--qr-html`` option.
  937. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  938. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  939. "key export" files and key files.
  940. Other changes:
  941. - docs:
  942. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  943. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  944. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  945. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  946. ----------------------------
  947. Compatibility notes:
  948. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  958. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  959. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  960. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  961. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  962. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  963. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  968. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  969. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  970. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  971. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  972. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  973. Other changes:
  974. - borg recreate:
  975. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  979. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  980. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  981. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  982. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  983. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  984. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627

  997. - document repo URLs / archive location
  998. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  999. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  1000. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  1001. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1002. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1003. - tests:
  1004. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1005. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1006. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1007. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  1008. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  1009. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  1013. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  1014. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1015. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1016. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  1017. current file, #1993
  1018. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1019. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  1020. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  1021. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978

  1033. - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
  1034. SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
  1035. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  1036. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)

  1067. Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
  1068. --------------------------
  1069. Security fixes:
  1070. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1071. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1072. take.
  1073. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1074. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1075. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1076. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1077. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1078. Bug fixes:

  1100. -----------------------------
  1101. Bug fixes:
  1102. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1103. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1104. files in next backup), #1860.
  1105. - borg check:
  1106. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1108. *completely* empty, #1815.
  1109. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  1110. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  1111. New features:

  1113. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1114. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1115. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1116. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  1117. Other changes:

  1147. Bug fixes:
  1148. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1149. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  1176. #757, #770.
  1177. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  1178. - re-compress data

  1208. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1209. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  1210. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,
  1211. --keep-last N and --keep-secondly N are equivalent, #537
  1212. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  1213. - borg extract:
  1214. - added --progress, #1449
  1215. - Linux: limited support for BSD flags, #1050

  1237. - use atomic file writing/updating for configuration and key files, #1377
  1238. - BORG_KEY_FILE environment variable, #1001
  1239. - self-testing module, #970
  1240. Bug fixes:
  1241. - list: fixed default output being produced if --format is given with empty parameter, #1489
  1242. - create: fixed overflowing progress line with CJK and similar characters, #1051
  1243. - prune: fixed crash if --prefix resulted in no matches, #1029
  1244. - init: clean up partial repo if passphrase input is aborted, #850
  1245. - info: quote cmdline arguments that have spaces in them
  1246. - fix hardlinks failing in some cases for extracting subtrees, #761
  1247. Other changes:
  1248. - replace stdlib hmac with OpenSSL, zero-copy decrypt (10-15% increase in
  1249. performance of hash-lists and extract).
  1250. - improved chunker performance, #1021
  1251. - open repository segment files in exclusive mode (fail-safe), #1134

  1262. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  1263. - Docs:
  1264. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  1265. - Group options
  1266. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  1267. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1268. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903

  1271. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1272. - expanded FAQ
  1273. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1274. - Tests:
  1275. - vagrant: add ubuntu/xenial 64bit - this box has still some issues
  1276. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1277. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1278. --------------------------
  1279. Bug fixes:
  1280. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1281. New features:
  1282. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1283. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1284. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1285. Other changes:
  1286. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1287. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1288. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1289. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1290. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1291. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1292. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1293. - docs:
  1294. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1295. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1296. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1297. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1298. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1299. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems

  1301. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1302. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1303. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1304. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1305. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1306. -----------------------------
  1307. Bug fixes:
  1308. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1309. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1310. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1311. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1312. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1313. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1314. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1315. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1316. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1317. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1318. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1319. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1320. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1321. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1322. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1323. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1324. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1325. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1326. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1327. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1328. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1329. #1684
  1330. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1331. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1332. New features:
  1333. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1334. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1335. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1336. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1337. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1338. soon as it is input.
  1339. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1340. #1352
  1341. Other changes:
  1342. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1343. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1344. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1345. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1346. dataflow direction.
  1347. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1348. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1349. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1350. #1572
  1351. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1352. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1353. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1354. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1355. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1356. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1357. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1358. - docs:
  1359. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1360. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1361. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1362. - add bestpractices badge
  1363. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561

  1369. - add debug-info usage help file
  1370. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1371. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1372. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1373. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1374. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1375. - tests:
  1376. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1377. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1378. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1379. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1380. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1381. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1382. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1383. --------------------------
  1384. Security fixes:
  1385. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1386. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1387. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1388. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1389. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1390. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1391. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1392. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1393. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1394. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1395. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1396. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1397. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1398. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1399. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1400. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1401. Bug fixes:
  1402. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1403. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1404. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1405. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1406. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1407. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1408. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1409. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1410. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1411. New features:
  1412. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1413. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1414. Other changes:
  1415. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1416. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1417. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1418. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1419. -----------------------------
  1420. Bug fixes:
  1421. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1422. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1423. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1424. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1425. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1426. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1427. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1428. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1429. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1430. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1431. these would never be cleaned up.
  1432. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1433. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1434. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1435. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1436. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1437. path being a integer FD
  1438. Other changes:
  1439. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1440. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1441. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1442. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1443. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1444. real problem.
  1445. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1446. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1447. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1448. - docs:
  1449. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1450. - improve prune examples
  1451. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1452. -----------------------------
  1453. Bug fixes:
  1454. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1455. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1456. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1457. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1458. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1459. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1460. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1461. to 20, #1338
  1462. - FUSE:
  1463. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1464. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1465. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1466. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1467. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1468. New features:
  1469. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1470. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1471. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1472. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1473. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1474. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1475. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1476. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1477. server), #1291.
  1478. Other changes:
  1479. - Vagrantfile:
  1480. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1481. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1482. - tests:
  1483. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1484. - docs:
  1485. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1486. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1487. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1488. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1489. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1490. - added platform feature matrix
  1491. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1492. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1493. --------------------------
  1494. Bug fixes:
  1495. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1496. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1497. Other changes:
  1498. - tests:
  1499. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1500. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1501. - docs:
  1502. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1503. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1504. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1505. -----------------------------
  1506. New features:
  1507. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1508. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1509. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1510. Bug fixes:
  1511. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1512. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1513. repository code.
  1514. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1515. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1516. #1295
  1517. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1518. used), #1302. (*)
  1519. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1520. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1521. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1522. Other changes:
  1523. - tests:
  1524. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1525. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1526. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1527. - docs:
  1528. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1529. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1530. Notes:
  1531. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1532. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1533. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1534. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1535. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1536. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1537. --------------------------
  1538. Bug fixes:
  1539. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1540. Other changes:
  1541. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1542. - add release helper scripts
  1543. - Vagrantfile:
  1544. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1545. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1546. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1547. --------------------------
  1548. New features:
  1549. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1550. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1551. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1552. practically usable.
  1553. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1554. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1555. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1556. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1557. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1558. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1559. Bug fixes:
  1560. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1561. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1562. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1563. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1564. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1565. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1566. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1567. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1568. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1569. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1570. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1571. error reporting.
  1572. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1573. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1574. sync the containing directory.
  1575. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1576. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1577. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1578. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1579. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1580. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1581. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1582. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1583. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1584. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1585. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1586. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1587. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1588. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1589. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1590. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1591. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1592. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1593. - borg delete:
  1594. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1595. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1596. - borg check:
  1597. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1598. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1599. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1600. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1601. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1602. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.

  1639. Bug fixes:
  1640. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1641. a prune run), #997
  1642. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were

  1644. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1645. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1646. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1647. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1648. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1649. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk

  1660. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1661. --------------------------
  1662. Bug fixes:
  1663. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1664. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1665. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1666. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1667. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1668. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1669. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1670. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1671. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1672. a overflow would have occurred.
  1673. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1674. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1675. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1676. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1677. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1678. Other changes:
  1679. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1680. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1681. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1682. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1683. - docs:
  1684. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1685. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1686. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1687. --------------------------
  1688. New features:
  1689. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1690. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1691. also:
  1692. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1693. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1694. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1695. possibly CIFS).
  1696. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1697. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1698. this on his own.
  1699. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1700. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1701. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1702. Bug fixes:
  1703. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1704. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1705. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1706. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1707. - fix build on illumos
  1708. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1709. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1710. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1711. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1712. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1713. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1714. instead, #791
  1715. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1716. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1717. #798
  1718. Other changes:
  1719. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1720. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1721. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1722. - docs:
  1723. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1724. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1725. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1726. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1727. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1728. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1729. --------------------------
  1730. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1731. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1732. check your backup logs.
  1733. Compatibility notes:
  1734. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1735. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1736. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1737. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1738. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1739. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1740. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1741. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1742. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1743. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1744. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1745. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1746. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1747. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1748. use --one-file-system instead
  1749. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1750. - -p now is same as --progress
  1751. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1752. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1753. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1754. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1755. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1756. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1757. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1758. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1759. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1760. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1761. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1762. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1763. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1764. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1765. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1766. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1767. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1768. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1769. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1770. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1771. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1772. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1773. usage).
  1774. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1775. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1776. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1777. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1778. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1779. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1780. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1781. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1782. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1783. New features:
  1784. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1785. Bug fixes:
  1786. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1787. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1788. Other changes:
  1789. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1790. - docs:
  1791. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1792. - add Teemu to AUTHORS

  1803. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1804. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1805. as borg info, #651
  1806. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1807. Other changes:
  1808. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1809. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1810. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1811. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1812. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1813. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1814. - docs:
  1815. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1816. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1817. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1818. - fix order in release process
  1819. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1826. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1827. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  1831. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1832. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1833. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  1834. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  1835. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544
  1836. - use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keys for keyfile keys (~/.config/borg/keys), #515
  1837. - "borg upgrade" moves the keyfile keys to the new location

  1840. - normalize trailing slashes for the repository path, #606
  1841. - Cache: fix exception handling in __init__, release lock, #610
  1842. Other changes:
  1843. - suppress unneeded exception context (PEP 409), simpler tracebacks
  1844. - removed special code needed to deal with imperfections / incompatibilities /
  1845. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  1846. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  1847. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1848. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  1849. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  1850. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  1851. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  1852. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  1853. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  1866. - misc. updates and fixes
  1867. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1868. ---------------------------
  1869. Compatibility notes:
  1870. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1871. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1872. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1873. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1874. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1875. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1876. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1877. Bug fixes:
  1878. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  1879. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  1880. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  1881. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  1882. - log stats consistently, #526
  1883. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496

  1887. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  1888. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1889. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1890. New features:
  1891. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1892. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1893. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1894. - support different styles for patterns:
  1895. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1896. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1897. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1898. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1899. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1900. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1901. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1902. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1903. files or for borg check repo), #500
  1904. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1905. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1906. file list output
  1907. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1908. Other changes:
  1909. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1910. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1911. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1912. fixes #569
  1913. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1914. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1915. than debian7
  1916. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1917. - docs:
  1918. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  1919. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  1928. - rephrase the mailing list section
  1929. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  1930. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  1931. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  1932. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1933. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1934. ---------------------------
  1935. Compatibility notes:
  1936. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1937. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1938. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1939. option.
  1940. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1941. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1942. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1943. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1944. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1945. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1946. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1947. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1948. Bug fixes:
  1949. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1950. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1951. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1952. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1953. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1954. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1955. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1956. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1957. New features:
  1958. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1959. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1960. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1961. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1962. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,

  2192. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2193. ---------------------------
  2194. Compatibility notes:
  2195. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2196. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2197. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2198. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2199. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2200. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2201. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2202. Deprecations:
  2203. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2204. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2205. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2206. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2207. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2208. (which is the default).
  2209. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2210. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2211. New features:
  2212. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2213. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2214. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2215. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2216. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2217. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2218. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2219. Bug fixes:
  2220. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2221. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2222. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2223. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2224. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2225. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2226. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2227. Other changes:
  2228. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2229. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2230. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2231. - more tests for archiver
  2232. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2233. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2234. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2235. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2236. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2237. - improved docs:
  2238. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2239. - update docs about compression
  2240. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2241. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2242. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2243. - theme: use a lighter green
  2244. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2245. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2246. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2247. ---------------------------
  2248. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2249. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2250. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2251. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2252. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2253. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2254. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2255. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2256. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2257. Deprecations:
  2258. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2259. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2260. New features:
  2261. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2262. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2263. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2264. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2265. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2266. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2267. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2268. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2269. (attic #295).
  2270. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2271. fixes #85
  2272. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2273. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2274. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2275. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2276. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2277. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2278. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2279. Bug fixes:
  2280. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2281. signed size_t), #116
  2282. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2283. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2284. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2285. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2286. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2287. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2288. fixes attic #326.
  2289. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2290. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2291. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2292. Other changes:
  2293. - improved docs:
  2294. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2295. "as is" into the html docs.
  2296. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2297. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2298. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2299. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2300. - updated AUTHORS
  2301. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2302. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2303. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2304. - added docs about development
  2305. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2306. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2307. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2308. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2309. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2310. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2311. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2312. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2313. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2314. - improved tox configuration
  2315. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2316. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2317. modern installs
  2318. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2319. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2320. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2321. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2322. New features:
  2323. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2324. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2325. attic #167)
  2326. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
