  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
  97. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  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
  140. .. _changelog:
  141. Changelog
  142. =========
  143. Version 1.1.11 (not released yet)
  144. ---------------------------------
  145. Compatibility notes:
  146. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  147. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  148. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  149. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  150. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  151. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  152. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  153. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  154. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  155. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  156. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  157. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  158. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  159. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  160. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  161. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  162. work around the WSL issue.
  163. Fixes:
  164. - fixed potential index corruption / data loss issue due to bug in hashindex_set, #4829
  165. Please read and follow the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  166. - upgrade bundled xxhash to 0.7.3, #4891
  167. 0.7.2 is the minimum requirement for correct operations on ARMv6 in non-fixup
  168. mode, where unaligned memory accesses cause bus errors.
  169. 0.7.3 adds some speedups and libxxhash 0.7.3 even has a pkg-config file now.
  170. - upgrade bundled lz4 to 1.9.2
  171. - fix crash when upgrading erroneous hints file, #4922

  230. - fix broken test that relied on improper zlib assumptions
  231. - test_fuse: filter out selinux xattrs, #4574
  232. - travis / vagrant:
  233. - misc python versions removed / changed (due to openssl 1.1 compatibility)
  234. or added (3.7 and 3.8, for better borg compatibility testing)
  235. - binary building is on python 3.5.9 now

  249. just fail because they exceed 50 minutes and get killed by travis.
  250. Version 1.1.10 (2019-05-16)
  251. ---------------------------
  252. Fixes:
  253. - extract: hang on partial extraction with ssh: repo, when hardlink master
  254. is not matched/extracted and borg hangs on related slave hardlink, #4350
  255. - lrucache: regularly remove old FDs, #4427
  256. - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265
  257. - freebsd: make xattr platform code api compatible with linux, #3952
  258. - use whitelist approach for borg serve, #4097
  259. - borg command shall terminate with rc 2 for ImportErrors, #4424
  260. - create: only run stat_simple_attrs() once, this increases
  261. backup with lots of unchanged files performance by ~ 5%.
  262. - prune: fix incorrect borg prune --stats output with --dry-run, #4373
  263. - key export: emit user-friendly error if repo key is exported to a directory,
  264. #4348
  265. New features:
  266. - bundle latest supported msgpack-python release (0.5.6), remove msgpack-python
  267. from setup.py install_requires - by default we use the bundled code now.
  268. optionally, we still support using an external msgpack (see hints in
  269. setup.py), but this requires solid requirements management within
  270. distributions and is not recommended.
  271. borgbackup will break if you upgrade msgpack to an unsupported version.
  272. - display msgpack version as part of sysinfo (e.g. in tracebacks)
  273. - timestamp for borg delete --info added, #4359
  274. - enable placeholder usage in --comment and --glob-archives, #4559, #4495

  282. - get rid of confusing coverage warning, #2069
  283. - rename test_mount_hardlinks to test_fuse_mount_hardlinks,
  284. so both can be excluded by "not test_fuse".
  285. - pure-py msgpack warning shall not make a lot of tests fail, #4558
  286. - docs:
  287. - add "SSH Configuration" section to "borg serve", #3988, #636, #4485

  346. - create: added PATH::archive output on INFO log level
  347. - read a passphrase from a file descriptor specified in the
  348. BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD environment variable.
  349. Other:
  350. - docs:
  351. - option --format is required for some expensive-to-compute values for json
  352. borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
  353. they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
  354. in standard mode as well as in --json mode.

  367. Version 1.1.7 (2018-08-11)
  368. --------------------------
  369. Compatibility notes:
  370. - added support for Python 3.7
  371. Fixes:
  372. - cache lock: use lock_wait everywhere to fix infinite wait, see #3968

  446. Compatibility notes:
  447. - 1.1.5 changes:
  448. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  449. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because

  451. Fixes:
  452. - create --list: fix that it was never showing M status, #3492

  506. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  507. --------------------------
  508. Compatibility notes:
  509. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  510. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  511. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  512. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  513. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  514. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  515. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  516. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  517. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  518. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  519. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  520. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  521. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  522. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  523. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  524. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  525. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  526. be used:
  527. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  528. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  529. Fixes:
  530. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  531. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  532. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  533. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  534. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  535. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  536. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  537. New features:
  538. - added zstd compression. try it!
  539. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  540. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  541. Other changes:
  542. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  543. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  544. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  545. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  546. - updated fish/bash completions
  547. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  548. - docs:
  549. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  550. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  551. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  552. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  553. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  554. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  555. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  556. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  557. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  558. - blake2 was already bundled
  559. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  560. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  561. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  562. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  563. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  564. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  565. --------------------------
  566. Fixes:
  567. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  568. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  569. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  570. controls post-authentication.
  571. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  572. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  573. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  574. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  575. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  576. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  577. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  578. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  579. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  580. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  581. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  582. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  583. New features:
  584. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  585. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  586. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  587. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  588. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  589. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  590. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  591. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  592. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  593. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  594. Other changes:
  595. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  596. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  597. - docs:
  598. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  599. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  600. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  601. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  602. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  603. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  604. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  605. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  606. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  607. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  608. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  609. - update release checklist about security fixes
  610. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  611. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  612. bsdflags, #3239
  613. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  614. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  615. --------------------------
  616. Fixes:
  617. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  618. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  619. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  620. handling for stat() call, #3209
  621. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  622. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  623. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  624. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  625. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  626. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  627. New features:
  628. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  629. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  630. Other changes:
  631. - docs:
  632. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  633. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  634. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  635. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  636. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  637. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  638. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  639. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  640. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  641. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  642. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  643. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  644. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  645. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  646. --------------------------
  647. Compatibility notes:
  648. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  649. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  650. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  651. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  652. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  653. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  654. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  655. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  656. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  657. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  658. speed up backup creation.
  659. Fixes:
  660. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  661. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  662. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  663. these archives, see also #3157.
  664. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  665. slowness, #3130
  666. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  667. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  668. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  669. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  670. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  671. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  672. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  673. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  674. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  675. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  676. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  677. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  678. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  679. New features:
  680. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  681. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  682. Other changes:
  683. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  684. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  685. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  686. - docs:
  687. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  688. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  689. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  690. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  691. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  692. --------------------------
  693. Compatibility notes:
  694. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  695. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  696. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  697. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  698. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  699. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  700. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  701. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  702. Fixes:
  703. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  704. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  705. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  706. Other changes:
  707. - docs:
  708. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  709. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  710. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  711. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  712. -----------------------------
  713. Compatibility notes:
  714. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  715. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  716. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  717. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  718. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  719. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  720. New features:
  721. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  722. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  723. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  724. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  725. Fixes:
  726. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  727. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  728. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  729. Other changes:
  730. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  731. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  732. - vagrant:
  733. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  734. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  735. - docs:
  736. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  737. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  738. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  739. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  740. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  741. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  742. -----------------------------
  743. New features:
  744. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  745. Fixes:
  746. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  747. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  748. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  749. Other changes:
  750. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  751. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  752. - docs:
  753. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  754. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  755. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  756. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  757. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  758. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  759. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  760. -----------------------------
  761. Compatibility notes:
  762. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  763. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  764. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  765. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  766. and the default is now "mtime".
  767. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).

  852. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  853. ----------------------------
  854. Compatibility notes:
  855. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  856. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  857. an append-only repository.
  858. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  859. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  860. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  861. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  862. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  863. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  864. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  865. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  866. not affect scripts.
  867. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  868. repositories they are.
  869. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  870. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  871. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  872. New features:
  873. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  874. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  875. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  876. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  877. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  878. - repository: index and hints files
  879. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  880. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  881. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  882. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  883. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  884. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  885. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  886. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  887. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  888. - borg export-tar, #2519
  889. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  890. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  891. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  892. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  893. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  894. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  895. Fixes:
  896. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  897. reporting, #2496
  898. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  899. error message when parsing fails.
  900. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  901. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  902. - FUSE:
  903. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  904. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  905. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  906. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  907. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  908. - use decrypted cache
  909. - remove unnecessary normpaths
  910. - serve: ignore --append-only when initializing a repository (borg init), #2501

  923. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  924. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  925. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  926. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  927. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  928. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  929. Other changes:
  930. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  931. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  932. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  933. - restrict key file names, #2560
  934. - document follow_symlinks requirements, check libc, use stat and chown

  1209. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  1210. ---------------------------
  1211. Bug fixes:
  1212. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  1213. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  1214. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  1215. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  1216. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  1217. New features:
  1218. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  1219. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  1220. ``--qr-html`` option.
  1221. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  1222. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  1223. "key export" files and key files.
  1224. Other changes:
  1225. - docs:
  1226. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  1227. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  1228. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  1229. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  1230. ----------------------------
  1231. Compatibility notes:
  1232. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  1235. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  1236. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  1237. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
  1238. - borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
  1239. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  1240. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041

  1242. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  1243. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  1244. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1245. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1246. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1247. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  1248. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  1249. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663

  1252. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  1253. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  1254. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  1255. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  1256. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  1257. Other changes:
  1258. - borg recreate:
  1259. - remove special-cased --dry-run
  1260. - update --help
  1261. - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
  1262. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  1263. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  1264. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  1265. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  1266. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  1267. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  1268. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  1269. - improve metadata handling speed
  1270. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  1271. - improve / add progress displays, #1721

  1276. - docs:
  1277. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems

  1279. documented in usage chapter.
  1280. - mention file://
  1281. - document repo URLs / archive location
  1282. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  1283. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  1284. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  1285. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1286. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1287. - tests:
  1288. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1289. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1290. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1291. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  1292. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  1293. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  1297. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  1298. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1299. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1300. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  1301. current file, #1993
  1302. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1303. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  1304. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  1305. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  1306. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  1352. --------------------------
  1353. Security fixes:
  1354. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1355. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1356. take.
  1357. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1358. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1359. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1360. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1361. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1362. Bug fixes:

  1385. Bug fixes:
  1386. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1387. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1388. files in next backup), #1860.
  1389. - borg check:
  1390. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1397. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1398. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1399. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1400. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  1401. Other changes:

  1444. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  1445. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1446. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1447. - currently used for borg list/info/delete

  1529. - info: quote cmdline arguments that have spaces in them
  1530. - fix hardlinks failing in some cases for extracting subtrees, #761
  1531. Other changes:
  1532. - replace stdlib hmac with OpenSSL, zero-copy decrypt (10-15% increase in
  1533. performance of hash-lists and extract).
  1534. - improved chunker performance, #1021
  1535. - open repository segment files in exclusive mode (fail-safe), #1134

  1541. - moved source tree into src/ subdirectory, #1016
  1542. - made borg.platform a package, #1113
  1543. - removed dead crypto code, #1032
  1544. - improved and ported parts of the test suite to py.test, #912
  1545. - created data classes instead of passing dictionaries around, #981, #1158, #1161
  1546. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  1547. - Docs:
  1548. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  1549. - Group options
  1550. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  1551. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1552. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1553. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1554. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1555. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1556. - expanded FAQ
  1557. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1558. - Tests:
  1559. - vagrant: add ubuntu/xenial 64bit - this box has still some issues
  1560. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1561. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1562. --------------------------
  1563. Bug fixes:
  1564. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1565. New features:
  1566. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1567. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1568. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1569. Other changes:
  1570. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1571. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1572. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1573. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1574. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1575. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1576. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1577. - docs:
  1578. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1579. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1580. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1581. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1582. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1583. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems

  1585. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1586. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1587. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1588. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1589. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1590. -----------------------------
  1591. Bug fixes:
  1592. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1593. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1594. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1595. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1596. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1597. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1598. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1599. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1600. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1601. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1602. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1603. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1604. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1605. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1606. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1607. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1608. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1609. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1610. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1611. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1612. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1613. #1684
  1614. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1615. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1616. New features:
  1617. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1618. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1619. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1620. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1621. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1622. soon as it is input.
  1623. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1624. #1352
  1625. Other changes:
  1626. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1627. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1628. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1629. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1630. dataflow direction.
  1631. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1632. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1633. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1634. #1572
  1635. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1636. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1637. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1638. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1639. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1640. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1641. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1642. - docs:
  1643. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1644. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1645. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1646. - add bestpractices badge
  1647. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561
  1648. - improve borg info --help, explain size infos, #1532
  1649. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  1650. - add contribution guidelines for developers

  1652. - adjust border color in borg.css
  1653. - add debug-info usage help file
  1654. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1655. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1656. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1657. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1658. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1659. - tests:
  1660. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1661. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1662. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1663. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1664. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1665. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1666. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1667. --------------------------
  1668. Security fixes:
  1669. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1670. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1671. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1672. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1673. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1674. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1675. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1676. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1677. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1678. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1679. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1680. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1681. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1682. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1683. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1684. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1685. Bug fixes:
  1686. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1687. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1688. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1689. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1690. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1691. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1692. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1693. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1694. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1695. New features:
  1696. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1697. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1698. Other changes:
  1699. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1700. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1701. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1702. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1703. -----------------------------
  1704. Bug fixes:
  1705. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1706. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1707. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1708. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1709. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1710. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1711. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1712. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1713. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1714. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1715. these would never be cleaned up.
  1716. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1717. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1718. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1719. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1720. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1721. path being a integer FD
  1722. Other changes:
  1723. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1724. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1725. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1726. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1727. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1728. real problem.
  1729. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1730. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1731. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1732. - docs:
  1733. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1734. - improve prune examples
  1735. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1736. -----------------------------
  1737. Bug fixes:
  1738. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1739. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1740. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1741. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1742. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1743. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1744. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1745. to 20, #1338
  1746. - FUSE:
  1747. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1748. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1749. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1750. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1751. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1752. New features:
  1753. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1754. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1755. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1756. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1757. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1758. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1759. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1760. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1761. server), #1291.
  1762. Other changes:
  1763. - Vagrantfile:
  1764. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1765. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1766. - tests:
  1767. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1768. - docs:
  1769. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1770. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1771. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1772. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1773. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1774. - added platform feature matrix
  1775. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1776. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1777. --------------------------
  1778. Bug fixes:
  1779. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1780. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1781. Other changes:
  1782. - tests:
  1783. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1784. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1785. - docs:
  1786. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1787. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1788. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1789. -----------------------------
  1790. New features:
  1791. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1792. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1793. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1794. Bug fixes:
  1795. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1796. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1797. repository code.
  1798. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1799. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1800. #1295
  1801. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1802. used), #1302. (*)
  1803. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1804. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1805. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1806. Other changes:
  1807. - tests:
  1808. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1809. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1810. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1811. - docs:
  1812. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1813. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1814. Notes:
  1815. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1816. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1817. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1818. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1819. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1820. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1821. --------------------------
  1822. Bug fixes:
  1823. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1824. Other changes:
  1825. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1826. - add release helper scripts
  1827. - Vagrantfile:
  1828. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1829. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1830. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1831. --------------------------
  1832. New features:
  1833. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1834. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1835. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1836. practically usable.
  1837. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1838. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1839. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1840. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1841. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1842. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1843. Bug fixes:
  1844. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1845. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1846. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1847. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1848. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1849. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1850. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1851. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1852. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1853. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1854. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1855. error reporting.
  1856. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1857. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1858. sync the containing directory.
  1859. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1860. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1861. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1862. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1863. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1864. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1865. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1866. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1867. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1868. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1869. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1870. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1871. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1872. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1873. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1874. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1875. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1876. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1877. - borg delete:
  1878. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1879. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1880. - borg check:
  1881. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1882. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1883. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1884. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1885. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1886. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1887. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1888. - tests:
  1889. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1890. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1891. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1892. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1893. Other changes:
  1894. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1895. - docs / help:
  1896. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1897. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1898. - add missing docs / help about placeholders

  1944. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1945. --------------------------
  1946. Bug fixes:
  1947. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1948. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1949. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1950. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1951. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1952. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1953. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1954. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1955. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1956. a overflow would have occurred.
  1957. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1958. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1959. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1960. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1961. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1962. Other changes:
  1963. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1964. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1965. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1966. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1967. - docs:
  1968. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1969. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1970. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1971. --------------------------
  1972. New features:
  1973. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1974. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1975. also:
  1976. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1977. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1978. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1979. possibly CIFS).
  1980. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1981. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1982. this on his own.
  1983. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1984. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1985. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1986. Bug fixes:
  1987. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1988. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1989. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1990. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1991. - fix build on illumos
  1992. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1993. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1994. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1995. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1996. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1997. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1998. instead, #791
  1999. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  2000. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  2001. #798
  2002. Other changes:
  2003. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  2004. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  2005. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  2006. - docs:
  2007. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  2008. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  2009. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  2010. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  2011. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  2012. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  2013. --------------------------
  2014. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  2015. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  2016. check your backup logs.
  2017. Compatibility notes:
  2018. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  2019. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  2020. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  2021. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  2022. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  2023. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  2024. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  2025. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  2026. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  2027. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  2028. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  2029. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2030. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2031. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2032. use --one-file-system instead
  2033. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2034. - -p now is same as --progress
  2035. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2036. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2037. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2038. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2039. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2040. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2041. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2042. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2043. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2044. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2045. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2046. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2047. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2048. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2049. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2050. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2051. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2052. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2053. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2054. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2055. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2056. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2057. usage).
  2058. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2059. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2060. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2061. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2062. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2063. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2064. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2065. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2066. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2067. New features:
  2068. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2069. Bug fixes:
  2070. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  2071. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  2072. Other changes:
  2073. - fix compiler warnings, #697

  2087. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  2088. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  2089. as borg info, #651
  2090. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  2091. Other changes:
  2092. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2093. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2094. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2095. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  2096. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  2097. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  2098. - docs:
  2099. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  2100. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  2101. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  2102. - fix order in release process
  2103. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  2115. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  2116. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  2117. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  2118. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  2119. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544
  2120. - use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keys for keyfile keys (~/.config/borg/keys), #515
  2121. - "borg upgrade" moves the keyfile keys to the new location

  2126. Other changes:
  2127. - suppress unneeded exception context (PEP 409), simpler tracebacks
  2128. - removed special code needed to deal with imperfections / incompatibilities /
  2129. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  2130. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  2131. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  2132. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  2133. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  2134. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  2135. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  2136. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  2137. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  2150. - misc. updates and fixes
  2151. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  2152. ---------------------------
  2153. Compatibility notes:
  2154. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2155. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2156. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2157. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2158. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2159. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2160. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  2161. Bug fixes:
  2162. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  2166. - log stats consistently, #526
  2167. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496

  2171. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  2172. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  2173. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  2174. New features:
  2175. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2176. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2177. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2178. - support different styles for patterns:
  2179. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2180. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2181. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2182. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2183. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2184. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2185. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  2186. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  2187. files or for borg check repo), #500
  2188. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  2189. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2190. file list output
  2191. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2192. Other changes:
  2193. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2194. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2195. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2196. fixes #569
  2197. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2198. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2199. than debian7
  2200. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2201. - docs:
  2202. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  2203. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!
  2204. - sphinx configuration: create a simple man page from usage docs

  2211. - document standalone binary requirements, #499
  2212. - rephrase the mailing list section
  2213. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  2214. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  2215. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  2216. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2217. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2218. ---------------------------
  2219. Compatibility notes:
  2220. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2221. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2222. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2223. option.
  2224. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2225. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2226. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2227. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2228. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2229. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2230. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2231. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2232. Bug fixes:
  2233. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2234. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2235. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2236. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2237. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2238. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2239. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2240. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2241. New features:
  2242. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2243. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2244. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2245. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2246. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2247. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2248. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2249. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2250. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2251. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2252. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2253. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2254. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2255. - more progress indicators, #394
  2256. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2257. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  2258. Other changes:

  2476. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2477. ---------------------------
  2478. Compatibility notes:
  2479. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2480. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2481. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2482. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2483. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2484. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2485. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2486. Deprecations:
  2487. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2488. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2489. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2490. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2491. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2492. (which is the default).
  2493. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2494. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2495. New features:
  2496. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2497. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2498. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2499. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2500. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2501. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2502. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2503. Bug fixes:
  2504. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2505. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2506. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2507. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2508. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2509. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2510. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2511. Other changes:
  2512. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2513. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2514. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2515. - more tests for archiver
  2516. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2517. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2518. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2519. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2520. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2521. - improved docs:
  2522. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2523. - update docs about compression
  2524. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2525. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2526. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2527. - theme: use a lighter green
  2528. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2529. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2530. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2531. ---------------------------
  2532. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2533. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2534. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2535. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2536. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2537. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2538. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2539. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2540. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2541. Deprecations:
  2542. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2543. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2544. New features:
  2545. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2546. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2547. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2548. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2549. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2550. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2551. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2552. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2553. (attic #295).
  2554. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2555. fixes #85
  2556. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2557. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2558. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2559. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2560. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2561. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2562. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2563. Bug fixes:
  2564. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2565. signed size_t), #116
  2566. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2567. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2568. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2569. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2570. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2571. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2572. fixes attic #326.
  2573. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2574. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2575. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2576. Other changes:
  2577. - improved docs:
  2578. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2579. "as is" into the html docs.
  2580. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2581. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2582. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2583. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2584. - updated AUTHORS
  2585. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2586. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2587. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2588. - added docs about development
  2589. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2590. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2591. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2592. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2593. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2594. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2595. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2596. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2597. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2598. - improved tox configuration
  2599. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2600. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2601. modern installs
  2602. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2603. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2604. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2605. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2606. New features:
  2607. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2608. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2609. attic #167)
  2610. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2611. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2612. Other changes:
  2613. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2614. - some easy micro optimizations
  2615. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2616. ---------------------------
  2617. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2618. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2619. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2620. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2621. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2622. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2623. Bug fixes:
