  4. ---------------------------------
  5. Compatibility notes:

  57. Version 0.29.0
  58. --------------
  59. Compatibility notes:
  60. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  61. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  62. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  63. option.
  64. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  65. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  66. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  67. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  68. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  69. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  70. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  71. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  72. Bug fixes:
  73. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  74. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  75. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  76. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  77. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  78. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  79. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  80. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  81. New features:
  82. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  83. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  84. - include system info below traceback, #324
  85. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  86. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  87. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  88. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  89. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  90. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  91. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  92. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  93. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  94. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  95. - more progress indicators, #394
  96. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  97. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  316. Version 0.25.0
  317. --------------
  318. Compatibility notes:
  319. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  320. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  321. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  322. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  323. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  324. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  325. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  326. Deprecations:
  327. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  328. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  329. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  330. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  331. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  332. (which is the default).
  333. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  334. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  335. New features:
  336. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  337. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  338. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  339. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  340. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  341. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  342. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  343. Bug fixes:
  344. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  345. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  346. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  347. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  348. the whole file, fixes #158.
  349. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  350. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  351. Other changes:
  352. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  353. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  354. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  355. - more tests for archiver
  356. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  357. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  358. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  359. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  360. - travis CI: use requirements file
  361. - improved docs:
  362. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  363. - update docs about compression
  364. - update development docs about fakeroot
  365. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  366. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  367. - theme: use a lighter green
  368. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  369. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  370. Version 0.24.0
  371. --------------
  372. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  373. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  374. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  375. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  376. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  377. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  378. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  379. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  380. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  381. Deprecations:
  382. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  383. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  384. New features:
  385. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  386. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  387. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  388. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  389. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  390. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  391. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  392. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  393. (attic #295).
  394. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  395. fixes #85
  396. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  397. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  398. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  399. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  400. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  401. - cache sync: show progress indication
  402. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  403. Bug fixes:
  404. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  405. signed size_t), #116
  406. - fix the repair mode, #144
  407. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  408. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  409. (attic #317, attic #201).
  410. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  411. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  412. fixes attic #326.
  413. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  414. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  415. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  416. Other changes:
  417. - improved docs:
  418. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  419. "as is" into the html docs.
  420. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  421. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  422. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  423. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  424. - updated AUTHORS
  425. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  426. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  427. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  428. - added docs about development
  429. - add some words about resource usage in general
  430. - document how to backup a raw disk
  431. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  432. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  433. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  434. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  435. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  436. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  437. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  438. - improved tox configuration
  439. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  440. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  441. modern installs
  442. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  443. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  444. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  445. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  446. New features:
  447. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  448. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  449. attic #167)
  450. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  451. - hashindex: improve error messages
  452. Other changes:
  453. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  454. - some easy micro optimizations
  455. Version 0.23.0
  456. --------------
  457. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  458. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  459. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  460. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  461. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  462. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  463. Bug fixes:
  464. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  465. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  466. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  467. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  468. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282
  469. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  470. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  471. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  472. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  473. always fails
  474. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  475. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  476. New features:
  477. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  478. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  479. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  480. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  481. - create -v output more informative
  482. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  483. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
  484. - create: if "-" is given as path, read binary from stdin
  485. - extract: if --stdout is given, write all extracted binary data to stdout
  486. - extract --sparse (simple sparse file support)
  487. - extra debug information for 'fread failed'
  488. - delete <repo> (deletes whole repo + local cache)
