  1. Changelog
  2. =========
  3. Important note about pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  4. --------------------------------------------------------
  5. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  6. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  7. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  8. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  9. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  10. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  11. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  12. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  13. Fix::
  14. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  15. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  16. # repair the repo:
  17. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  18. # make sure everything is fixed:
  19. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  20. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  21. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  22. Fix::
  23. # check for corrupt archives:
  24. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  25. # delete the corrupt archives:
  26. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  27. # make sure everything is fixed:
  28. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  29. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  30. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  31. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE
  32. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  33. --------------------------
  34. Bug fixes:
  35. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  36. New features:
  37. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  38. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  39. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  40. Other changes:
  41. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  42. due to the changed canonicalization for relative pathes in PR #1711 / #1655
  43. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  44. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  45. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  46. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  47. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  48. - docs:
  49. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  50. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  51. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  52. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  53. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  54. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  55. - vagrant / tests:
  56. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  57. - fix fuse permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  58. - skip fuse test for borg binary + fakeroot
  59. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  60. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  61. -----------------------------
  62. Bug fixes:
  63. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  64. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  65. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  66. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  67. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  68. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  69. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  70. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  71. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  72. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  73. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  74. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  75. was openend. add an error message for this.
  76. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  77. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  78. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  79. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  80. - enable relative pathes in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  81. - allow repo pathes with colons, #1705
  82. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  83. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  84. #1684
  85. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  86. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  87. New features:
  88. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  89. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  90. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  91. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  92. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  93. soon as it is input.
  94. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  95. #1352
  96. Other changes:
  97. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  98. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  99. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  100. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  101. dataflow direction.
  102. - improved messages / error reporting:
  103. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  104. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  105. #1572
  106. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  107. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  108. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  109. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  110. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  111. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  112. fuse/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  113. - docs:

  139. Security fixes:
  140. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  141. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  142. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  143. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  144. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  145. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  146. the pathes you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  147. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  148. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  149. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  150. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  151. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  152. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  153. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path pathes now. We are sorry if
  154. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  155. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  156. Bug fixes:
  157. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  158. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  159. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  160. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  161. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  162. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  163. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  164. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  165. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  166. New features:
  167. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  168. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  169. Other changes:
  170. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  171. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  172. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  173. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  174. -----------------------------
  175. Bug fixes:
  176. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  177. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  178. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  179. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  180. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  181. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  182. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  183. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  184. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  185. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  186. these would never be cleaned up.
  187. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  188. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  189. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  190. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  191. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  192. path being a integer FD
  193. Other changes:
  194. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  195. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  196. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  197. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  198. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  199. real problem.
  200. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  201. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  202. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  203. - docs:
  204. - document archive limitation, #1452
  205. - improve prune examples
  206. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  207. -----------------------------
  208. Bug fixes:
  209. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  210. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  211. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  212. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
  213. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  214. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  215. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  216. to 20, #1338
  217. - FUSE:
  218. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  219. - always create a root dir, #1125
  220. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  221. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  222. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  223. New features:
  224. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  225. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  226. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  227. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  228. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  229. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  230. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  231. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  232. server), #1291.
  233. Other changes:
  234. - Vagrantfile:
  235. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  236. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  237. - tests:
  238. - fix fuse tests on OS X, #1433
  239. - docs:
  240. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  241. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  242. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  243. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  244. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  245. - added platform feature matrix
  246. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  247. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  248. --------------------------
  249. Bug fixes:
  250. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  251. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  252. Other changes:
  253. - tests:
  254. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  255. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  256. - docs:
  257. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  258. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  259. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  260. -----------------------------
  261. New features:
  262. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  263. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  264. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  265. Bug fixes:
  266. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  267. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  268. repository code.
  269. - borg mount (FUSE):
  270. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  271. #1295
  272. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  273. used), #1302. (*)
  274. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  275. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  276. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  277. Other changes:
  278. - tests:
  279. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  280. - deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
  281. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  282. - docs:
  283. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  284. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  285. Notes:
  286. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  287. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  288. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  289. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  290. repair was done with an older borg version.
  291. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  292. --------------------------
  293. Bug fixes:
  294. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  295. Other changes:
  296. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  297. - add release helper scripts
  298. - Vagrantfile:
  299. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  300. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  301. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  302. --------------------------
  303. New features:
  304. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  305. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  306. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  307. practically usable.
  308. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  309. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  310. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  311. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  312. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  313. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  314. Bug fixes:
  315. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  316. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  317. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  318. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  319. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  320. transaction rollback to clean up).
  321. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  322. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  323. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  324. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  325. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  326. error reporting.
  327. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  328. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  329. sync the containing directory.
  330. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  331. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  332. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  333. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  334. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  335. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  336. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  337. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  338. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  339. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  340. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  341. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  342. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  343. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  344. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  345. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  346. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  347. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  348. - borg delete:
  349. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  350. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  351. - borg check:
  352. - make borg check work for empty repo
  353. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  354. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  355. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  356. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  357. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  358. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  359. - tests:
  360. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  361. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  362. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  363. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  364. Other changes:
  365. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  366. - docs / help:
  367. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  368. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  369. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  370. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  371. - document sshd settings, #545
  372. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  373. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  374. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  375. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  376. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  377. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  378. - update cygwin installation docs
  379. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  380. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  381. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  382. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  383. - tests: add tests for format_line
  384. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  385. - Vagrantfile:
  386. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  387. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  388. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  389. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  390. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  391. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  392. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  393. --------------------------
  394. Bug fixes:
  395. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  396. a prune run), #997
  397. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  398. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  399. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  400. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  401. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  402. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  403. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  404. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  405. space), #1063
  406. Other changes:
  407. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  408. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  409. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  410. - docs / help:
  411. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  412. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  413. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  414. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  415. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  416. --------------------------
  417. Bug fixes:
  418. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  419. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  420. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  421. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  422. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  423. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  424. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  425. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  426. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  427. a overflow would have occured.
  428. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  429. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  430. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  431. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  432. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  433. Other changes:
  434. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  435. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  436. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  437. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  438. - docs:
  439. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  440. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  441. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  442. --------------------------
  443. New features:
  444. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  445. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  446. also:
  447. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  448. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  449. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  450. possibly CIFS).
  451. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  452. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  453. this on his own.
  454. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  455. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  456. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  457. Bug fixes:
  458. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  459. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  460. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  461. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  462. - fix build on illumos
  463. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  464. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  465. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  466. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  467. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  468. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  469. instead, #791
  470. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  471. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  472. #798
  473. Other changes:
  474. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  475. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  476. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  477. - docs:
  478. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  479. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  480. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  481. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  482. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  483. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  484. --------------------------
  485. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  486. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  487. check your backup logs.
  488. Compatibility notes:
  489. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  490. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  491. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  492. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  493. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  494. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  495. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  496. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  497. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  498. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  499. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  500. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  501. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  502. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  503. use --one-file-system instead
  504. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  505. - -p now is same as --progress
  506. - -P now is same as --prefix
  507. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  508. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  509. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  510. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  511. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  512. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  513. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  514. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  515. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  516. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  517. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  518. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  519. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  520. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  521. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  522. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  523. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  524. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  525. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  526. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  527. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  528. usage).
  529. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  530. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  531. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  532. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  533. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  534. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  535. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  536. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  537. needs to mean archive creation start time.

  562. Other changes:
  563. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  564. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  565. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build

  602. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  603. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  604. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493

  623. ---------------------------
  624. Compatibility notes:
  625. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  626. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  627. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  628. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  629. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  630. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  631. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  632. Bug fixes:
  633. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  646. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  647. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  648. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  649. - support different styles for patterns:
  650. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  651. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  652. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  653. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  654. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  655. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  656. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  657. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big

  660. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  661. file list output
  662. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  663. Other changes:
  664. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  665. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  666. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  667. fixes #569
  668. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  669. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  670. than debian7
  671. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  672. - docs:
  673. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  674. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  688. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  689. ---------------------------
  690. Compatibility notes:
  691. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  692. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  693. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  694. option.
  695. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  696. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  697. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  698. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  699. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  700. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  701. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  702. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  703. Bug fixes:
  704. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  705. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)

  711. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  712. New features:
  713. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  714. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  715. - include system info below traceback, #324
  716. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  717. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  718. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  719. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  720. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  721. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  722. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  723. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  724. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  725. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  726. - more progress indicators, #394
  727. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  728. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  758. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  759. Other changes:
  760. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),
  761. completely remove have_cython() hack, do not use the "mock" library at build

  947. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  948. ---------------------------
  949. Compatibility notes:
  950. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  951. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  952. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  953. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  954. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  955. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  956. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  957. Deprecations:
  958. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  959. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  960. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  961. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  962. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  963. (which is the default).
  964. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  965. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  966. New features:
  967. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  968. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  969. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  970. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  971. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  972. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  973. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  974. Bug fixes:
  975. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  976. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  977. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  978. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  979. the whole file, fixes #158.
  980. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  981. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  982. Other changes:
  983. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  984. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  985. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  986. - more tests for archiver
  987. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  988. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  989. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  990. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  991. - travis CI: use requirements file
  992. - improved docs:
  993. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  994. - update docs about compression
  995. - update development docs about fakeroot
  996. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  997. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  998. - theme: use a lighter green
  999. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1000. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1001. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1002. ---------------------------
  1003. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1004. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1005. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1006. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1007. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1008. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1009. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1010. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1011. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1012. Deprecations:
  1013. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1014. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1015. New features:
  1016. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1017. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1018. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1019. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1020. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1021. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1022. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1023. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1024. (attic #295).
  1025. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1026. fixes #85
  1027. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1028. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1029. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1030. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  1031. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  1032. - cache sync: show progress indication
  1033. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  1034. Bug fixes:
  1035. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  1036. signed size_t), #116
  1037. - fix the repair mode, #144
  1038. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  1039. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  1040. (attic #317, attic #201).
  1041. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  1042. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  1043. fixes attic #326.
  1044. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  1045. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  1046. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  1047. Other changes:
  1048. - improved docs:
  1049. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  1050. "as is" into the html docs.
  1051. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  1052. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  1053. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  1054. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  1055. - updated AUTHORS
  1056. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  1057. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  1058. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  1059. - added docs about development
  1060. - add some words about resource usage in general
  1061. - document how to backup a raw disk
  1062. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  1063. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  1064. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  1065. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  1066. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  1067. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  1068. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  1069. - improved tox configuration
  1070. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  1071. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  1072. modern installs
  1073. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  1074. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  1075. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  1076. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  1077. New features:
  1078. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  1079. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  1080. attic #167)
  1081. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  1082. - hashindex: improve error messages
  1083. Other changes:
  1084. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  1085. - some easy micro optimizations
  1086. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  1087. ---------------------------
  1088. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  1089. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  1090. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  1091. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  1092. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  1093. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  1094. Bug fixes:
  1095. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  1096. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  1097. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  1098. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  1101. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  1102. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  1103. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  1104. always fails
  1105. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  1106. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  1107. New features:
  1108. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  1109. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  1110. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  1111. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  1112. - create -v output more informative
  1113. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  1114. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
