  2. Important notes
  3. ===============
  4. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  5. .. _hashindex_set_bug:
  6. Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
  7. -------------------------------------------------------
  8. A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829.
  9. The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.
  10. Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption did not
  11. happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions to happen.
  12. Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare (and
  13. also detectable via borg check).
  14. You might be affected if borg crashed with / complained about:
  15. - AssertionError: Corrupted segment reference count - corrupted index or hints
  16. - ObjectNotFound: Object with key ... not found in repository ...
  17. - Index mismatch for key b'...'. (..., ...) != (-1, -1)
  18. - ValueError: stats_against: key contained in self but not in master_index.
  19. Advised procedure to fix any related issue in your indexes/caches:
  20. - install fixed borg code (on client AND server)
  21. - for all of your clients and repos remove the cache by:
  22. borg delete --cache-only YOURREPO
  23. (later, the cache will be re-built automatically)
  24. - for all your repos, rebuild the repo index by:
  25. borg check --repair YOURREPO
  26. This will also check all archives and detect if there is any data-loss issue.
  27. Affected branches / releases:
  28. - fd06497 introduced the bug into 1.1-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.1.x since 1.1.0b4.
  29. - fd06497 introduced the bug into master branch - it affects all borg 1.2.0 alpha releases.
  30. - c5cd882 introduced the bug into 1.0-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.0.x since 1.0.11rc1.
  31. The bug was fixed by:
  32. - 701159a fixes the bug in 1.1-maint branch - will be released with borg 1.1.11.
  33. - fa63150 fixes the bug in master branch - will be released with borg 1.2.0a8.
  34. - 7bb90b6 fixes the bug in 1.0-maint branch. Branch is EOL, no new release is planned as of now.
  35. .. _broken_validator:
  36. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  37. -----------------------------------------
  38. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  39. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  40. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  41. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  42. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  43. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  44. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  45. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  46. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  47. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  48. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  49. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  50. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  51. discarded from the archive.
  52. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  53. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  54. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  55. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  56. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  57. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  58. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  59. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  60. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  61. items are listed.
  62. .. _tam_vuln:
  63. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  64. ----------------------------------------------------------
  65. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  66. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  67. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  68. 2. gain write access to the repository
  69. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  70. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  71. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  72. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  73. for large archives.
  74. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  75. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  76. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  77. Steps you should take:
  78. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  79. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  80. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  81. 4. Done.
  82. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  83. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  84. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  85. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  86. otherwise.
  87. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  88. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  89. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  90. This attack is mitigated by:
  91. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  92. contain the archive IDs.
  93. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  94. Vulnerability time line:
  95. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  96. * 2016-11-20: First patch

  98. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  99. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  100. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  101. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  102. -----------------------------
  103. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  104. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  105. archives. See issue #1837.
  106. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  107. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  108. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  109. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  110. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  111. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  112. -----------------------------------
  113. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  114. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  115. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  116. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  117. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  118. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  119. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  120. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  121. Fix::
  122. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  123. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  124. # repair the repo:
  125. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  126. # make sure everything is fixed:
  127. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  128. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  129. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  130. Fix::
  131. # check for corrupt archives:
  132. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  133. # delete the corrupt archives:
  134. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  135. # make sure everything is fixed:
  136. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  137. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  138. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  139. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  141. Changelog
  142. =========
  143. Version 1.2.0b1 (not released yet)
  144. ----------------------------------
  145. Please note:
  146. This is code released for alpha testing (== helping us find bugs).
  147. It is not suitable to run against your production backup repositories!
  148. So, if you want to help testing, please run this code additionally to your
  149. normal backup and use a separate, fresh repository for it.
  150. See there for feedback: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4360
  151. Compatibility notes:
  152. - dropped support / testing for Python 3.4 and 3.5, minimum requirement is 3.6.
  153. In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.6, consider using our binary,
  154. which does not need an external Python interpreter.
  155. - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
  156. - borg create --noatime is deprecated. Not storing atime is the default behaviour
  157. now (use --atime if you want to store the atime).
  158. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats.
  159. Previously, "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  160. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  161. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  162. and the default is now "mtime".
  163. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  164. - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
  165. - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
  166. - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
  167. - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
  168. - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
  169. - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
  170. - removed BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var.
  171. to use borg you must implement one of these 2 scenarios:
  172. - 1) the combination of FQDN and result of uuid.getnode() must be unique
  173. and stable (this should be the case for almost everybody, except when
  174. having duplicate FQDN *and* MAC address or all-zero MAC address)
  175. - 2) if you are aware that 1) is not the case for you, you must set
  176. BORG_HOST_ID env var to something unique.
  177. - exit with 128 + signal number, #5161.
  178. if you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to update
  179. them to check for >= 128.
  180. Fixes:

  190. - add pyfuse3 (successor of llfuse) as an alternative lowlevel fuse
  191. implementation to llfuse (deprecated), #5407.

  508. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  509. writing command.
  510. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  511. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  512. more robustness.
  513. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  514. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  515. commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.

  550. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  551. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  552. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
  553. - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
  554. - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
  555. - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking

  562. Version 1.1.13 (2020-06-06)
  563. ---------------------------
  564. Compatibility notes:
  565. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  566. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  567. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  568. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  569. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  570. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  571. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  572. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  573. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  574. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  575. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  576. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  577. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  578. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  579. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  580. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  581. work around the WSL issue.
  582. Fixes:
  583. - rebuilt using a current Cython version, compatible with python 3.8, #5214

  592. - set f_namemax in statfs result, #2684
  593. - update precedence of env vars to set config and cache paths, #4894
  594. - correctly calculate compression ratio, taking header size into account, too

  639. Please read and follow the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  640. - upgrade bundled xxhash to 0.7.3, #4891.
  641. 0.7.2 is the minimum requirement for correct operations on ARMv6 in non-fixup

  741. - bundle latest supported msgpack-python release (0.5.6), remove msgpack-python
  742. from setup.py install_requires - by default we use the bundled code now.
  743. optionally, we still support using an external msgpack (see hints in

  772. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  773. --------------------------
  774. Compatibility notes:
  775. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  776. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  777. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  778. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  779. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  780. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  781. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  782. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  783. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  784. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  785. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  786. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  787. See the --files-cache docs for details.

  994. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  995. --------------------------
  996. Compatibility notes:
  997. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  998. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  999. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  1000. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  1001. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  1002. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  1003. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  1004. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  1005. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  1006. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  1007. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  1008. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  1009. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  1010. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  1011. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  1012. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  1013. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  1014. be used:
  1015. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  1016. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  1017. Fixes:
  1018. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  1019. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  1020. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  1021. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  1022. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  1023. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  1024. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  1025. New features:
  1026. - added zstd compression. try it!
  1027. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  1028. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  1029. Other changes:
  1030. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  1031. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  1032. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  1033. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  1034. - updated fish/bash completions
  1035. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  1036. - docs:
  1037. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  1038. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  1039. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  1040. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  1041. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  1042. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  1043. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  1044. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  1045. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  1046. - blake2 was already bundled
  1047. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  1048. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  1049. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  1050. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  1051. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  1052. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  1053. --------------------------
  1054. Fixes:
  1055. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  1056. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  1057. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  1058. controls post-authentication.
  1059. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  1060. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  1061. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  1062. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  1063. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  1064. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  1065. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  1066. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  1067. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  1068. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  1069. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  1070. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  1071. New features:
  1072. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  1073. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  1074. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  1075. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  1076. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  1077. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  1078. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  1079. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  1080. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  1081. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  1082. Other changes:
  1083. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  1084. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  1085. - docs:
  1086. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  1087. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  1088. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  1089. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  1090. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  1091. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  1092. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  1093. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  1094. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  1095. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  1096. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  1097. - update release checklist about security fixes
  1098. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  1099. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  1100. bsdflags, #3239
  1101. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  1102. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  1103. --------------------------
  1104. Fixes:
  1105. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  1106. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  1107. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  1108. handling for stat() call, #3209
  1109. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  1110. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  1111. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  1112. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  1113. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  1114. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  1115. New features:
  1116. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  1117. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  1118. Other changes:
  1119. - docs:
  1120. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  1121. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  1122. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  1123. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  1124. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  1125. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  1126. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  1127. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  1128. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  1129. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  1130. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  1131. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  1132. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  1133. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  1134. --------------------------
  1135. Compatibility notes:
  1136. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  1137. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  1138. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  1139. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  1140. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  1141. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  1142. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  1143. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  1144. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  1145. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  1146. speed up backup creation.
  1147. Fixes:
  1148. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  1149. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  1150. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  1151. these archives, see also #3157.
  1152. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  1153. slowness, #3130
  1154. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  1155. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  1156. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  1157. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  1158. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  1159. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  1160. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  1161. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  1162. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  1163. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  1164. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  1165. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  1166. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  1167. New features:
  1168. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  1169. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  1170. Other changes:
  1171. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  1172. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  1173. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  1174. - docs:
  1175. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  1176. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  1177. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  1178. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  1179. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  1180. --------------------------
  1181. Compatibility notes:
  1182. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  1183. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  1184. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  1185. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  1186. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  1187. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  1188. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  1189. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  1190. Fixes:
  1191. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  1192. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  1193. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  1194. Other changes:
  1195. - docs:
  1196. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  1197. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  1198. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  1199. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  1200. -----------------------------
  1201. Compatibility notes:
  1202. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  1203. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  1204. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  1205. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  1206. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  1207. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  1208. New features:
  1209. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  1210. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  1211. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  1212. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  1213. Fixes:
  1214. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  1215. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  1216. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  1217. Other changes:
  1218. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  1219. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  1220. - vagrant:
  1221. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  1222. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  1223. - docs:
  1224. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  1225. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  1226. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  1227. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  1228. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  1229. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  1230. -----------------------------
  1231. New features:
  1232. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  1233. Fixes:
  1234. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  1235. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  1236. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  1237. Other changes:
  1238. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  1239. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  1240. - docs:
  1241. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  1242. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  1243. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  1244. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  1245. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  1246. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  1247. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  1248. -----------------------------
  1249. Compatibility notes:
  1250. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  1251. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  1252. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  1253. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  1254. and the default is now "mtime".
  1255. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  1256. New features:
  1257. - None.

  1340. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  1341. ----------------------------
  1342. Compatibility notes:
  1343. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  1344. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  1345. an append-only repository.
  1346. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  1347. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  1348. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  1349. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  1350. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  1351. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  1352. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  1353. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  1354. not affect scripts.
  1355. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  1356. repositories they are.
  1357. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  1358. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  1359. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  1360. New features:
  1361. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  1362. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  1363. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  1364. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  1365. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  1366. - repository: index and hints files
  1367. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  1368. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  1369. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  1370. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  1371. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  1372. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  1373. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  1374. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  1375. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  1376. - borg export-tar, #2519
  1377. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  1378. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  1379. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  1380. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  1381. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  1382. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  1383. Fixes:
  1384. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  1385. reporting, #2496
  1386. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  1387. error message when parsing fails.
  1388. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  1389. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  1390. - FUSE:
  1391. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  1392. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  1393. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  1394. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  1395. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  1396. - use decrypted cache
  1397. - remove unnecessary normpaths

  1410. - repository: truncate segments (and also some other files) before unlinking, #2557
  1411. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  1412. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  1413. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  1414. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  1415. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645

  1697. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  1698. ---------------------------
  1699. Bug fixes:
  1700. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  1701. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  1702. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  1703. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  1704. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  1705. New features:
  1706. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  1707. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  1708. ``--qr-html`` option.
  1709. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  1710. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  1711. "key export" files and key files.
  1712. Other changes:
  1713. - docs:
  1714. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  1715. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  1716. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  1717. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  1718. ----------------------------
  1719. Compatibility notes:
  1720. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  1730. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  1731. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  1732. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1733. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1734. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1735. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  1736. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  1737. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663

  1740. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  1741. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  1742. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  1743. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  1744. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  1745. Other changes:
  1746. - borg recreate:
  1747. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  1750. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  1751. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  1752. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  1753. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  1754. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  1755. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  1756. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  1757. - improve metadata handling speed
  1758. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  1759. - improve / add progress displays, #1721

  1768. - mention file://
  1769. - document repo URLs / archive location
  1770. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  1771. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  1772. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  1773. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1774. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1775. - tests:
  1776. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1777. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1778. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1779. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  1780. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  1781. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  1783. ------------------------------
  1784. Bug fixes:
  1785. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  1786. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1787. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1788. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  1789. current file, #1993
  1790. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1791. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  1792. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  1793. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  1794. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  1804. - xattr: ignore empty names returned by llistxattr(2) et al
  1805. - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
  1806. SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
  1807. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  1808. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)

  1839. Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
  1840. --------------------------
  1841. Security fixes:
  1842. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1843. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1844. take.
  1845. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1846. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1847. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1848. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1849. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1850. Bug fixes:
  1851. - borg check:

  1872. -----------------------------
  1873. Bug fixes:
  1874. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1875. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1876. files in next backup), #1860.
  1877. - borg check:
  1878. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1881. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  1882. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  1883. New features:
  1884. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  1885. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1886. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1887. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1888. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  1889. Other changes:

  1919. Bug fixes:
  1920. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1921. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  1932. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  1933. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1934. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1935. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  1936. Other changes:

  1948. #757, #770.
  1949. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  1950. - re-compress data

  1979. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1980. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1981. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  1982. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  1984. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  1985. - borg extract:
  1986. - added --progress, #1449
  1987. - Linux: limited support for BSD flags, #1050

  2048. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  2049. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  2050. --------------------------
  2051. Bug fixes:
  2052. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  2053. New features:
  2054. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  2055. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  2056. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  2057. Other changes:
  2058. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  2059. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  2060. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  2061. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  2062. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  2063. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  2064. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  2065. - docs:
  2066. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet

  2077. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  2078. -----------------------------
  2079. Bug fixes:
  2080. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  2081. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  2082. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  2083. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  2084. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  2085. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  2086. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  2087. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  2088. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  2089. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  2090. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  2091. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  2092. was openend. add an error message for this.
  2093. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  2094. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  2095. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  2096. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  2097. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  2098. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  2099. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  2100. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  2101. #1684
  2102. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  2103. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  2104. New features:
  2105. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  2106. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  2107. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  2108. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  2109. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  2110. soon as it is input.
  2111. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  2112. #1352
  2113. Other changes:
  2114. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  2115. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  2116. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  2117. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  2118. dataflow direction.
  2119. - improved messages / error reporting:
  2120. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  2121. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  2122. #1572
  2123. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  2124. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  2125. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  2126. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  2127. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  2128. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  2129. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  2130. - docs:
  2131. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641

  2145. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  2146. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  2147. - tests:
  2148. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  2149. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  2150. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  2151. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  2152. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  2153. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  2154. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  2155. --------------------------
  2156. Security fixes:
  2157. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  2158. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  2159. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  2160. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  2161. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  2162. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  2163. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  2164. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  2165. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  2166. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  2167. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  2168. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  2169. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  2170. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  2171. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  2172. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  2173. Bug fixes:
  2174. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  2175. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  2176. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  2177. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  2178. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  2179. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  2180. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  2181. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  2182. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  2183. New features:
  2184. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  2185. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  2186. Other changes:
  2187. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  2188. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  2189. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  2190. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  2191. -----------------------------
  2192. Bug fixes:
  2193. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  2194. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  2195. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  2196. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  2197. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  2198. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  2199. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  2200. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  2201. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  2202. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  2203. these would never be cleaned up.
  2204. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  2205. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  2206. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  2207. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  2208. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  2209. path being a integer FD
  2210. Other changes:
  2211. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  2212. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  2213. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  2214. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  2215. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  2216. real problem.
  2217. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  2218. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  2219. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  2220. - docs:
  2221. - document archive limitation, #1452
  2222. - improve prune examples
  2223. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  2224. -----------------------------
  2225. Bug fixes:
  2226. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  2227. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  2228. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  2229. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  2230. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  2231. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  2232. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  2233. to 20, #1338
  2234. - FUSE:
  2235. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  2236. - always create a root dir, #1125
  2237. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  2238. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  2239. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  2240. New features:
  2241. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  2242. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  2243. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  2244. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  2245. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  2246. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  2247. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  2248. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  2249. server), #1291.
  2250. Other changes:
  2251. - Vagrantfile:
  2252. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  2253. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  2254. - tests:
  2255. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  2256. - docs:
  2257. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  2258. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  2259. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  2260. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  2261. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  2262. - added platform feature matrix
  2263. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  2264. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  2265. --------------------------
  2266. Bug fixes:
  2267. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  2268. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  2269. Other changes:
  2270. - tests:
  2271. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  2272. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  2273. - docs:
  2274. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  2275. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  2276. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  2277. -----------------------------
  2278. New features:
  2279. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  2280. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  2281. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  2282. Bug fixes:
  2283. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  2284. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  2285. repository code.
  2286. - borg mount (FUSE):
  2287. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  2288. #1295
  2289. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  2290. used), #1302. (*)
  2291. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  2292. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  2293. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  2294. Other changes:
  2295. - tests:
  2296. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  2297. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  2298. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  2299. - docs:
  2300. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  2301. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  2302. Notes:
  2303. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  2304. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  2305. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  2306. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  2307. repair was done with an older borg version.
  2308. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  2309. --------------------------
  2310. Bug fixes:
  2311. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  2312. Other changes:
  2313. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  2314. - add release helper scripts
  2315. - Vagrantfile:
  2316. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  2317. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  2318. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  2319. --------------------------
  2320. New features:
  2321. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  2322. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  2323. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  2324. practically usable.
  2325. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  2326. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  2327. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  2328. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  2329. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  2330. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  2331. Bug fixes:
  2332. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  2333. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  2334. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  2335. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  2336. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  2337. transaction rollback to clean up).
  2338. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  2339. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  2340. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  2341. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  2342. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  2343. error reporting.
  2344. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  2345. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  2346. sync the containing directory.
  2347. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  2348. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  2349. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  2350. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  2351. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  2352. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  2353. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  2354. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  2355. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  2356. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  2357. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  2358. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  2359. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  2360. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  2361. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  2362. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  2363. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  2364. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  2365. - borg delete:
  2366. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  2367. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  2368. - borg check:
  2369. - make borg check work for empty repo

  2432. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  2433. --------------------------
  2434. Bug fixes:
  2435. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  2436. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  2437. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  2438. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  2439. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  2440. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  2441. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  2442. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  2443. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  2444. a overflow would have occurred.
  2445. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  2446. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  2447. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  2448. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  2449. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  2450. Other changes:
  2451. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  2452. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  2453. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  2454. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  2455. - docs:
  2456. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  2457. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  2458. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  2459. --------------------------
  2460. New features:
  2461. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  2462. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  2463. also:
  2464. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  2465. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  2466. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  2467. possibly CIFS).
  2468. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  2469. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  2470. this on his own.
  2471. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  2472. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  2473. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  2474. Bug fixes:
  2475. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  2476. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  2477. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  2478. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  2479. - fix build on illumos
  2480. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  2481. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  2482. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  2483. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  2484. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  2485. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  2486. instead, #791
  2487. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  2488. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  2489. #798
  2490. Other changes:
  2491. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  2492. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  2493. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  2494. - docs:
  2495. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  2496. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  2497. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  2498. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  2499. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  2500. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  2501. --------------------------
  2502. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  2503. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  2504. check your backup logs.
  2505. Compatibility notes:
  2506. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  2507. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  2508. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  2509. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  2510. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  2511. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  2512. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  2513. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  2514. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  2515. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  2516. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  2517. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2518. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2519. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2520. use --one-file-system instead
  2521. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2522. - -p now is same as --progress
  2523. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2524. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2525. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2526. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2527. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2528. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2529. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2530. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2531. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2532. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2533. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2534. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2535. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2536. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2537. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2538. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2539. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2540. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2541. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2542. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2543. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2544. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2545. usage).
  2546. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2547. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2548. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2549. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2550. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2551. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2552. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2553. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2554. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2555. New features:
  2556. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2557. Bug fixes:
  2558. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  2559. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  2560. Other changes:
  2561. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  2562. - docs:
  2563. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  2564. - add Teemu to AUTHORS

  2575. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  2576. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  2577. as borg info, #651
  2578. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  2579. Other changes:
  2580. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2581. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2582. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2583. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  2584. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  2585. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  2586. - docs:
  2587. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  2588. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  2589. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  2590. - fix order in release process
  2591. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  2597. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  2598. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  2599. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  2603. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  2604. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  2605. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  2606. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  2607. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544

  2614. Other changes:
  2615. - suppress unneeded exception context (PEP 409), simpler tracebacks

  2617. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  2618. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  2619. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  2620. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  2621. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  2622. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  2623. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  2624. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  2625. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  2638. - misc. updates and fixes
  2639. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  2640. ---------------------------
  2641. Compatibility notes:
  2642. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2643. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2644. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2645. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2646. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2647. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2648. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  2649. Bug fixes:
  2650. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  2651. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  2652. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  2653. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  2654. - log stats consistently, #526
  2655. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496

  2659. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  2660. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  2661. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  2662. New features:
  2663. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2664. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2665. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2666. - support different styles for patterns:
  2667. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2668. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2669. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2670. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2671. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2672. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2673. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  2674. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  2675. files or for borg check repo), #500
  2676. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  2677. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2678. file list output
  2679. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2680. Other changes:
  2681. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2682. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2683. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2684. fixes #569
  2685. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2686. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2687. than debian7
  2688. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2689. - docs:
  2690. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  2691. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  2700. - rephrase the mailing list section
  2701. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  2702. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  2703. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  2704. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2705. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2706. ---------------------------
  2707. Compatibility notes:
  2708. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2709. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2710. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2711. option.
  2712. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2713. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2714. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2715. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2716. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2717. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2718. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2719. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2720. Bug fixes:
  2721. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2722. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2723. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2724. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2725. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2726. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2727. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2728. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2729. New features:
  2730. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2731. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2732. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2733. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:

  2964. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2965. ---------------------------
  2966. Compatibility notes:
  2967. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2968. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2969. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2970. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2971. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2972. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2973. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2974. Deprecations:
  2975. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2976. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2977. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2978. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2979. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2980. (which is the default).
  2981. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2982. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2983. New features:
  2984. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2985. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2986. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2987. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2988. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2989. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2990. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2991. Bug fixes:
  2992. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2993. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2994. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2995. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2996. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2997. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2998. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2999. Other changes:
  3000. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  3001. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  3002. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  3003. - more tests for archiver
  3004. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  3005. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  3006. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  3007. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  3008. - travis CI: use requirements file
  3009. - improved docs:
  3010. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  3011. - update docs about compression
  3012. - update development docs about fakeroot
  3013. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  3014. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  3015. - theme: use a lighter green
  3016. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  3017. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  3018. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  3019. ---------------------------
  3020. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  3021. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  3022. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  3023. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  3024. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  3025. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  3026. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  3027. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  3028. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  3029. Deprecations:
  3030. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  3031. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  3032. New features:
  3033. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  3034. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  3035. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  3036. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  3037. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  3038. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  3039. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  3040. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  3041. (attic #295).
  3042. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  3043. fixes #85
  3044. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  3045. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  3046. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  3047. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  3048. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  3049. - cache sync: show progress indication
  3050. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  3051. Bug fixes:
  3052. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  3053. signed size_t), #116
  3054. - fix the repair mode, #144
  3055. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  3056. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  3057. (attic #317, attic #201).
  3058. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  3059. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  3060. fixes attic #326.
  3061. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  3062. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  3063. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  3064. Other changes:
  3065. - improved docs:
  3066. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  3067. "as is" into the html docs.
  3068. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  3069. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  3070. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  3071. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  3072. - updated AUTHORS
  3073. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  3074. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  3075. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  3076. - added docs about development
  3077. - add some words about resource usage in general
  3078. - document how to backup a raw disk
  3079. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  3080. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  3081. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  3082. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  3083. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  3084. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  3085. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  3086. - improved tox configuration
  3087. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  3088. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  3089. modern installs
  3090. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  3091. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  3092. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  3093. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  3094. New features:
  3095. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  3096. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  3097. attic #167)

  3105. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  3106. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
