  1. Important notes
  2. ===============
  3. This section is used for infos about security and corruption issues.
  4. .. _tam_vuln:
  5. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  6. ----------------------------------------------------------
  7. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  8. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  9. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  10. 2. gain write access to the repository
  11. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  12. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  13. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  14. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  15. for large archives.
  16. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  17. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  18. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  19. Steps you should take:
  20. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  21. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  22. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  23. 4. Done.
  24. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  25. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  26. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  27. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  28. otherwise.
  29. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  30. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  31. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  32. This attack is mitigated by:
  33. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  34. contain the archive IDs.
  35. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  36. Vulnerability time line:

  43. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  44. -----------------------------
  45. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  46. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  47. archives. See issue #1837.
  48. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  49. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  50. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  51. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  52. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  53. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  54. -----------------------------------
  55. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  56. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  57. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  58. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  59. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  60. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  61. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  62. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  63. Fix::
  64. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  65. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  66. # repair the repo:
  67. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  68. # make sure everything is fixed:
  69. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  70. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  71. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  72. Fix::
  73. # check for corrupt archives:
  74. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  75. # delete the corrupt archives:
  76. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  77. # make sure everything is fixed:
  78. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  79. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  80. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  81. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE
  82. .. _changelog:
  83. Changelog
  84. =========
  85. Version 1.1.0b4 (not released yet)
  86. ----------------------------------
  87. Compatibility notes:
  88. - Moved "borg migrate-to-repokey" to "borg key migrate-to-repokey".
  89. New features:
  90. - the --exclude-if-present option now supports tagging a folder with any
  91. filesystem object type (file, folder, etc), instead of expecting only files
  92. as tags, #1999
  93. - the --keep-tag-files option has been deprecated in favor of the new
  94. --keep-exclude-tags, to account for the change mentioned above.
  95. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  96. ----------------------------
  97. Compatibility notes:
  98. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  99. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.
  100. Bug fixes:
  101. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  102. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  103. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
  104. - borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
  105. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  106. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041
  107. New features:
  108. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  109. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  110. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  111. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  112. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  113. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  114. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  115. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663
  116. - borg mount --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1542
  117. - implement "health" item formatter key, #1749
  118. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  119. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  120. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  121. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  122. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  123. Other changes:
  124. - borg recreate:
  125. - remove special-cased --dry-run
  126. - update --help
  127. - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
  128. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  129. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  130. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  131. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  132. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  133. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  134. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  135. - improve metadata handling speed
  136. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  137. - improve / add progress displays, #1721
  138. - check for index vs. segment files object count mismatch
  139. - make RPC protocol more extensible: use named parameters.
  140. - RemoteRepository: misc. code cleanups / refactors
  141. - clarify cache/repository README file
  142. - docs:
  143. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  144. - quickstart: only give one possible ssh url syntax, all others are
  145. documented in usage chapter.
  146. - mention file://
  147. - document repo URLs / archive location
  148. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  149. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  150. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  151. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  152. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  153. - tests:
  154. - fuse tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  155. - fuse tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  156. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  157. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  158. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  159. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment
  160. Version 1.0.10rc1 (2017-01-29)
  161. ------------------------------

  164. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, *BSD, OS X).
  165. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  166. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  167. current file, #1993
  168. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  169. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,

  181. - binary: use fixed AND freshly compiled pyinstaller bootloader, #2002
  182. - xattr: ignore empty names returned by llistxattr(2) et al
  183. - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
  184. SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
  185. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  186. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)

  221. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  222. take.
  223. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  224. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  225. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  226. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  227. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  228. Bug fixes:
  229. - borg check:
  230. - rebuild manifest if it's corrupted

  250. -----------------------------
  251. Bug fixes:
  252. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  253. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  254. files in next backup), #1860.
  255. - borg check:
  256. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
  257. - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is

  260. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  261. New features:
  262. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  263. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  264. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  265. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  290. - remove llfuse from tox.ini at a central place
  291. - do not try to install llfuse on centos6
  292. - fix fuse test for darwin, #1546
  293. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  294. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  295. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  296. ----------------------------
  297. Bug fixes:
  298. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  299. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  309. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  310. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  311. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  312. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  313. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  314. Other changes:
  315. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  316. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  317. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  318. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  319. - fix module names in api.rst
  320. - hashindex: bump api_version

  353. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  354. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),
  355. which includes the SHA1 and SHA2 family as well as MD5
  356. - borg prune:
  357. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  358. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  359. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  360. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  368. - borg mount:
  369. - provide "borgfs" wrapper for borg mount, enables usage via fstab, #743
  370. - "versions" mount option - when used with a repository mount, this gives

  384. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731
  385. - --show-version: shows/logs the borg version, #725

  435. Other changes:
  436. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  437. due to the changed canonicalization for relative pathes in PR #1711 / #1655
  438. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  439. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  440. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  441. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  442. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  455. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  456. -----------------------------
  457. Bug fixes:
  458. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  459. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  460. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  461. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  462. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  463. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  464. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  465. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  466. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  467. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  468. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  469. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  470. was openend. add an error message for this.
  471. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  472. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  473. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  474. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  475. - enable relative pathes in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  476. - allow repo pathes with colons, #1705
  477. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  478. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  479. #1684
  480. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  481. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  482. New features:
  483. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  484. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  485. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  486. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  487. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  488. soon as it is input.
  489. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  490. #1352
  491. Other changes:
  492. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  493. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  494. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  495. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  496. dataflow direction.
  497. - improved messages / error reporting:
  498. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  499. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  500. #1572
  501. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  502. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  503. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  504. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  505. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  506. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  507. fuse/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  508. - docs:
  509. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  510. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  511. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  512. - add bestpractices badge
  513. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561

  519. - add debug-info usage help file
  520. - internals.rst: fix typos
  521. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  522. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  523. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  524. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  525. - tests:
  526. - work around fuse xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  527. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  528. - travis: test fuse-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  529. - re-enable fuse tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  530. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  531. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  532. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  533. --------------------------
  534. Security fixes:
  535. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  536. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  537. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  538. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  539. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  540. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  541. the pathes you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  542. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  543. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  544. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  545. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  546. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  547. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  548. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path pathes now. We are sorry if
  549. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  550. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  551. Bug fixes:
  552. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  553. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  554. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  555. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  556. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  557. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  558. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  559. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  560. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  561. New features:
  562. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  563. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  564. Other changes:
  565. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  566. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  567. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  568. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  569. -----------------------------
  570. Bug fixes:
  571. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  572. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  573. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  574. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  575. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  576. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  577. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  578. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  579. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  580. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  581. these would never be cleaned up.
  582. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  583. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  584. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  585. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  586. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  587. path being a integer FD
  588. Other changes:
  589. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  590. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  591. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  592. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  593. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  594. real problem.
  595. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  596. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  597. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  598. - docs:
  599. - document archive limitation, #1452
  600. - improve prune examples
  601. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  602. -----------------------------
  603. Bug fixes:
  604. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  605. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  606. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  607. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
  608. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  609. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  610. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  611. to 20, #1338
  612. - FUSE:
  613. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  614. - always create a root dir, #1125
  615. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  616. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  617. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  618. New features:
  619. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  620. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  621. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  622. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  623. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  624. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  625. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  626. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  627. server), #1291.
  628. Other changes:
  629. - Vagrantfile:
  630. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  631. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  632. - tests:
  633. - fix fuse tests on OS X, #1433
  634. - docs:
  635. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  636. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  637. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  638. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  639. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  640. - added platform feature matrix
  641. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  642. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  643. --------------------------
  644. Bug fixes:
  645. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  646. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  647. Other changes:
  648. - tests:
  649. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  650. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  651. - docs:
  652. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  653. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  654. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  655. -----------------------------
  656. New features:
  657. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  658. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  659. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  660. Bug fixes:
  661. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  662. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  663. repository code.
  664. - borg mount (FUSE):
  665. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  666. #1295
  667. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  668. used), #1302. (*)
  669. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  670. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  671. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  672. Other changes:
  673. - tests:
  674. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  675. - deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
  676. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  677. - docs:
  678. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  679. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  680. Notes:
  681. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  682. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  683. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  684. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  685. repair was done with an older borg version.
  686. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  687. --------------------------
  688. Bug fixes:
  689. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  690. Other changes:
  691. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  692. - add release helper scripts
  693. - Vagrantfile:
  694. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  695. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  696. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  697. --------------------------
  698. New features:
  699. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  700. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  701. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  702. practically usable.
  703. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  704. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  705. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  706. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  707. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  708. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  709. Bug fixes:
  710. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  711. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  712. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  713. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  714. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  715. transaction rollback to clean up).
  716. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  717. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  718. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  719. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  720. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  721. error reporting.
  722. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  723. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  724. sync the containing directory.
  725. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  726. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  727. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  728. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  729. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  730. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  731. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  732. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  733. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  734. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  735. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  736. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  737. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  738. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  739. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  740. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  741. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  742. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  743. - borg delete:
  744. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  745. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  746. - borg check:
  747. - make borg check work for empty repo
  748. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  749. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  750. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  751. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  752. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  753. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  754. - tests:
  755. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  756. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  757. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  758. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  759. Other changes:
  760. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  761. - docs / help:
  762. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  763. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  764. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  765. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  766. - document sshd settings, #545
  767. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  768. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  769. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  770. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  771. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  772. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  773. - update cygwin installation docs
  774. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  775. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  776. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  777. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  778. - tests: add tests for format_line
  779. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  780. - Vagrantfile:
  781. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  782. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  783. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  784. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  785. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  786. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  787. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  788. --------------------------
  789. Bug fixes:
  790. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  791. a prune run), #997
  792. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  793. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  794. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  795. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  796. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  797. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  798. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  799. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  800. space), #1063
  801. Other changes:
  802. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  803. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  804. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  805. - docs / help:
  806. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  807. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  808. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  809. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  810. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  811. --------------------------
  812. Bug fixes:
  813. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  814. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  815. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  816. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  817. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  818. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  819. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  820. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  821. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  822. a overflow would have occured.
  823. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  824. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  825. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  826. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  827. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  828. Other changes:
  829. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  830. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  831. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  832. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  833. - docs:
  834. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  835. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  836. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  837. --------------------------
  838. New features:
  839. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  840. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  841. also:
  842. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  843. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  844. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  845. possibly CIFS).
  846. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  847. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  848. this on his own.
  849. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  850. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  851. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  852. Bug fixes:
  853. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  854. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  855. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  856. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  857. - fix build on illumos
  858. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  859. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  860. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  861. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  862. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  863. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  864. instead, #791
  865. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  866. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  867. #798
  868. Other changes:
  869. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  870. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  871. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  872. - docs:

  877. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  878. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  879. --------------------------
  880. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  881. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  882. check your backup logs.
  883. Compatibility notes:
  884. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  885. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  886. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  887. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  888. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  889. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  890. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  891. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  892. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  893. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  894. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  895. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  896. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  897. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  898. use --one-file-system instead
  899. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  900. - -p now is same as --progress
  901. - -P now is same as --prefix
  902. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  903. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  904. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  905. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  906. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  907. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  908. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  909. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  910. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  911. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  912. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  913. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  914. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  915. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  916. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  917. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  918. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  919. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  920. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  921. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  922. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  923. usage).
  924. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  925. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  926. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  927. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  928. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  929. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  930. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  931. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  932. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  933. New features:
  934. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  935. Bug fixes:
  936. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  937. - added retry counter for passwords, #703

  953. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  954. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  955. as borg info, #651
  956. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  957. Other changes:
  958. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  959. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  960. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  961. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  962. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  963. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  964. - docs:
  965. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported

  995. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  996. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  997. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  998. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  999. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493

  1018. ---------------------------
  1019. Compatibility notes:
  1020. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1021. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1022. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1023. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1024. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1025. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1026. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  1042. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1043. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1044. - support different styles for patterns:
  1045. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1046. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1047. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1048. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1049. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1050. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1051. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  1055. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1056. file list output
  1057. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1058. Other changes:
  1059. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1060. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1061. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1062. fixes #569
  1063. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1064. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1065. than debian7
  1066. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1067. - docs:

  1082. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1083. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1084. ---------------------------
  1085. Compatibility notes:
  1086. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1087. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1088. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1089. option.
  1090. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1091. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1092. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1093. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1094. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1095. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1096. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1097. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1098. Bug fixes:
  1099. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1100. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1101. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1102. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1103. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1104. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1105. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1106. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1107. New features:
  1108. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1109. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1110. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1111. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1112. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1113. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1114. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1115. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1116. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1117. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1118. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1119. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1120. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1121. - more progress indicators, #394
  1122. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1123. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  1124. Other changes:
  1125. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  1126. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  1127. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  1342. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  1343. ---------------------------
  1344. Compatibility notes:
  1345. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  1346. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  1347. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  1348. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1349. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1350. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1351. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1352. Deprecations:
  1353. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1354. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1355. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1356. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1357. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1358. (which is the default).
  1359. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1360. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1361. New features:
  1362. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1363. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1364. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1365. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1366. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1367. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1368. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1369. Bug fixes:
  1370. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1371. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1372. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1373. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1374. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1375. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1376. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1377. Other changes:
  1378. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1379. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1380. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1381. - more tests for archiver
  1382. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1383. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1384. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1385. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1386. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1387. - improved docs:
  1388. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1389. - update docs about compression
  1390. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1391. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1392. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  1393. - theme: use a lighter green
  1394. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1395. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1396. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1397. ---------------------------
  1398. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1399. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1400. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1401. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1402. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1403. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1404. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1405. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1406. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1407. Deprecations:
  1408. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1409. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1410. New features:
  1411. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1412. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1413. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1414. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1415. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1416. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1417. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1418. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1419. (attic #295).
  1420. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1421. fixes #85
  1422. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1423. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1424. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1425. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  1426. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  1427. - cache sync: show progress indication
  1428. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  1429. Bug fixes:
  1430. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  1431. signed size_t), #116
  1432. - fix the repair mode, #144
  1433. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  1434. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  1435. (attic #317, attic #201).
  1436. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  1437. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  1438. fixes attic #326.
  1439. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  1440. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  1441. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  1442. Other changes:
  1443. - improved docs:
  1444. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  1445. "as is" into the html docs.
  1446. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  1447. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  1448. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  1449. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  1450. - updated AUTHORS
  1451. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  1452. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  1453. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  1454. - added docs about development
  1455. - add some words about resource usage in general
  1456. - document how to backup a raw disk
  1457. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  1458. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  1459. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  1460. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  1461. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  1462. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  1463. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  1464. - improved tox configuration
  1465. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  1466. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  1467. modern installs
  1468. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  1469. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  1470. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  1471. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  1472. New features:
  1473. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  1474. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  1475. attic #167)
  1476. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  1477. - hashindex: improve error messages
  1478. Other changes:
  1479. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  1480. - some easy micro optimizations
  1481. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  1482. ---------------------------
  1483. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  1484. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  1485. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  1486. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  1487. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  1488. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  1489. Bug fixes:
  1490. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  1491. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  1492. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  1493. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  1496. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  1497. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  1498. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  1499. always fails
  1500. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  1501. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  1502. New features:
  1503. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  1504. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  1505. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  1506. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  1507. - create -v output more informative
  1508. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  1509. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
