  6. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  7. ----------------------------------------------------------
  8. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  9. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  10. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  11. 2. gain write access to the repository
  12. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  13. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  14. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  15. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  16. for large archives.
  17. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  18. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  19. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  20. Steps you should take:
  21. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  22. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  23. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  24. 4. Done.
  25. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  26. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  27. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  28. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  29. otherwise.
  30. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  31. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  32. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  33. This attack is mitigated by:
  34. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  35. contain the archive IDs.
  36. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  37. Vulnerability time line:
  38. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  39. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  40. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  41. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  42. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  43. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  44. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  45. -----------------------------
  46. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  47. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  48. archives. See issue #1837.
  49. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  50. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  51. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  52. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  53. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  54. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  55. -----------------------------------
  56. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  57. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  58. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  59. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  60. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  61. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  62. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  63. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  64. Fix::
  65. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  66. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  67. # repair the repo:
  68. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  69. # make sure everything is fixed:
  70. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  71. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  72. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  73. Fix::
  74. # check for corrupt archives:
  75. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  76. # delete the corrupt archives:
  77. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  78. # make sure everything is fixed:
  79. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  80. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  81. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  82. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  85. =========
  86. Version 1.2.0dev0 (not released yet)
  87. ------------------------------------
  88. Compatibility notes:
  89. - dropped support / testing for Python 3.4 and 3.5, minimum requirement is 3.6.
  90. In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.6, consider using our binary,
  91. which does not need an external Python interpreter.
  92. - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
  93. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  94. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  95. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  96. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  97. and the default is now "mtime".
  98. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  99. - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
  100. - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
  101. - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
  102. - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
  103. - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
  104. - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
  105. New features:
  106. - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
  107. compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
  108. data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
  109. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  110. writing command.
  111. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  112. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  113. more robustness.
  114. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  115. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  116. commit-ony segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
  117. Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
  118. Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
  119. - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
  120. Fixes:
  121. - repository compaction now automatically removes unneeded 17byte commit-only
  122. segments, #2850
  123. - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265
  124. - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
  125. Other changes:
  126. - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
  127. segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947
  128. - use pyinstaller v3.3.1 to build binaries
  129. - msgpack: switch to recent "msgpack" pypi pkg name, #3890
  130. - llfuse: modernize / simplify llfuse version requirements
  131. - code refactorings / internal improvements:
  132. - crypto: refactored crypto to use an AEAD style API
  133. - crypto: new AES-OCB, CHACHA20-POLY1305
  134. - create: be less racy, use fd for xattrs, acls, bsdflags (not path), #906
  135. - create: use less syscalls by not using a python file obj, #906, #3962
  136. - diff: refactor the diff functionality to new ItemDiff class, #2475
  137. - archive: create FilesystemObjectProcessors class
  138. - helpers: make a package, split into smaller modules
  139. - xattrs: move to platform package, use cython instead ctypes, #2495
  140. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  141. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  142. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
  143. - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
  144. - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
  145. - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking
  146. - multithreading preparations (not used yet):
  147. - item.to_optr(), Item.from_optr()
  148. - fix chunker holding the GIL during blocking I/O
  149. - testing:
  150. - vagrant: new VMs for linux/bsd/darwin, most with OpenSSL 1.1 and py36
  151. Version 1.1.6 (2018-06-11)
  152. --------------------------
  153. Compatibility notes:
  154. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  155. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  156. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  157. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  158. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  159. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  160. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  161. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  162. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  163. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  164. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  165. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  166. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  167. - 1.1.6 changes:
  168. - also allow msgpack-python 0.5.6.

  203. Compatibility notes:
  204. - 1.1.5 changes:
  205. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  206. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because
  207. the python package was renamed to msgpack and emitted some FutureWarning.
  208. Fixes:
  209. - create --list: fix that it was never showing M status, #3492
  210. - create: fix timing for first checkpoint (read files cache early, init
  211. checkpoint timer after that), see #3394
  212. - extract: set rc=1 when extracting damaged files with all-zero replacement

  227. - add exception handler around deprecated platform.linux_distribution() call
  228. - use same datetime object for {now} and {utcnow}, #3548
  229. New features:
  230. - create: implement --stdin-name, #3533
  231. - add chunker_params to borg archive info (--json)
  232. - BORG_SHOW_SYSINFO=no to hide system information from exceptions
  233. Other changes:
  234. - updated zsh completions for borg 1.1.4

  253. - better formatting of CPU usage documentation, #3554
  254. - extend append-only repo rollback docs, #3579
  255. - tests:

  263. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  264. --------------------------
  265. Compatibility notes:
  266. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  267. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  268. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  269. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  270. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  271. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  272. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  273. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  274. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  275. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  276. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  277. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  278. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  279. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  280. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  281. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  282. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  283. be used:
  284. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  285. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  286. Fixes:
  287. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  288. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  289. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  290. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  291. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  292. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  293. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  294. New features:
  295. - added zstd compression. try it!
  296. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  297. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  298. Other changes:
  299. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  300. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  301. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  302. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  303. - updated fish/bash completions
  304. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  305. - docs:
  306. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  307. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  308. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  309. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  310. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  311. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:

  313. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  314. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  315. - blake2 was already bundled
  316. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  317. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  318. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  319. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  320. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  321. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  322. --------------------------
  323. Fixes:
  324. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  325. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  326. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  327. controls post-authentication.
  328. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  329. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  330. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  331. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  332. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  333. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  334. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  335. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  336. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  337. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  338. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  339. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  340. New features:
  341. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  342. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  343. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  344. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  345. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  346. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  347. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  348. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  349. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  350. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  351. Other changes:
  352. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  353. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  354. - docs:
  355. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  356. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  357. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  358. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  359. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  360. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  361. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  362. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  363. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  364. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  365. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  366. - update release checklist about security fixes
  367. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  368. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  369. bsdflags, #3239
  370. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  371. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  372. --------------------------
  373. Fixes:
  374. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  375. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  376. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  377. handling for stat() call, #3209
  378. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  379. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  380. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  381. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  382. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  383. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  384. New features:
  385. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  386. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  387. Other changes:
  388. - docs:
  389. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  390. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  391. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  392. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  393. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  394. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  395. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  396. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  397. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  398. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  399. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  400. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  401. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  402. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  403. --------------------------
  404. Compatibility notes:
  405. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  406. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  407. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  408. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  409. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  410. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  411. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  412. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  413. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  414. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  415. speed up backup creation.
  416. Fixes:
  417. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  418. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  419. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  420. these archives, see also #3157.
  421. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  422. slowness, #3130
  423. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  424. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  425. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  426. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  427. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  428. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  429. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  430. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  431. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  432. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  433. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  434. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  435. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  436. New features:
  437. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  438. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  439. Other changes:
  440. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  441. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  442. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  443. - docs:
  444. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  445. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  446. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example

  448. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  449. --------------------------
  450. Compatibility notes:
  451. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  452. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  453. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  454. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  455. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  456. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  457. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  458. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  459. Fixes:
  460. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  461. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  462. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  463. Other changes:
  464. - docs:
  465. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  466. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  467. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  468. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  469. -----------------------------
  470. Compatibility notes:
  471. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  472. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  473. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  474. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  475. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  476. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  477. New features:
  478. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  479. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  480. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  481. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  482. Fixes:
  483. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  484. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  485. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)

  491. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  492. - docs:
  493. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  494. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  495. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  496. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  497. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  498. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  499. -----------------------------
  500. New features:
  501. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958

  515. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  516. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  517. -----------------------------
  518. Compatibility notes:
  519. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  520. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  521. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  522. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  523. and the default is now "mtime".
  524. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  525. New features:
  526. - None.
  527. Fixes:
  528. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime

  544. - minor formatting fixes
  545. - tar: tarpipe example
  546. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  547. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  548. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  549. - vagrant:
  550. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  551. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  552. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe

  568. #2174 #2175
  569. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  570. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  571. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  572. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853
  573. Other changes:
  574. - FUSE: versions view: linear numbering by archive time
  575. - split up interval parsing from filtering for --keep-within, #2610

  609. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  610. ----------------------------
  611. Compatibility notes:
  612. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  613. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  614. an append-only repository.
  615. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  616. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  617. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  618. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  619. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  620. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  621. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  622. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  623. not affect scripts.
  624. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  625. repositories they are.
  626. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  627. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  628. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  629. New features:
  630. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  631. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  632. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  633. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  634. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  635. - repository: index and hints files
  636. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  637. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  638. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  639. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  640. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  641. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  642. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  643. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  644. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  645. - borg export-tar, #2519
  646. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  647. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  648. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  649. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  650. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  651. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  652. Fixes:
  653. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  654. reporting, #2496
  655. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  656. error message when parsing fails.
  657. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  658. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  659. - FUSE:
  660. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  661. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  662. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  663. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  664. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  665. - use decrypted cache
  666. - remove unnecessary normpaths
  667. - serve: ignore --append-only when initializing a repository (borg init), #2501

  680. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  681. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  682. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  683. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  684. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  685. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  686. Other changes:
  687. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  688. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  689. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  690. - restrict key file names, #2560

  980. "key export" files and key files.
  981. Other changes:

  986. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  987. ----------------------------

  1002. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1003. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1004. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  1043. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1044. - tests:
  1045. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1046. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1047. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1048. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.

  1056. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1057. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the

  1111. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1112. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1113. take.
  1114. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1115. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1116. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing

  1142. Bug fixes:
  1143. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1144. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1145. files in next backup), #1860.
  1146. - borg check:
  1147. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1201. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  1202. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1203. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1204. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  1205. Other changes:
  1206. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())

  1227. - visit files in inode order (better speed, esp. for large directories and rotating disks)
  1228. - in-file checkpoints, #1217
  1229. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1230. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1231. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1232. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1233. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1234. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1235. - borg check:
  1236. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.

  1238. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1239. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1240. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1241. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1242. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1243. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1244. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  1245. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),

  1308. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1309. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1310. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1311. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1312. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1313. - expanded FAQ
  1314. - new contributors in AUTHORS!
  1315. - Tests:
  1316. - vagrant: add ubuntu/xenial 64bit - this box has still some issues
  1317. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1318. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1319. --------------------------
  1320. Bug fixes:
  1321. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1322. New features:
  1323. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1324. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1325. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1326. Other changes:
  1327. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1328. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1329. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1330. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1331. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1332. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1333. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1334. - docs:
  1335. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1336. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1337. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1338. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1339. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1340. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  1341. - vagrant / tests:
  1342. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1343. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1344. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1345. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1346. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1347. -----------------------------
  1348. Bug fixes:
  1349. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1350. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1351. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1352. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1353. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1354. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1355. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1356. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1357. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1358. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1359. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1360. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1361. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1362. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1363. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1364. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1365. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1366. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1367. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1368. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1369. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1370. #1684
  1371. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1372. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1373. New features:
  1374. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1375. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1376. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1377. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1378. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1379. soon as it is input.
  1380. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1381. #1352
  1382. Other changes:
  1383. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1384. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1385. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1386. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1387. dataflow direction.
  1388. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1389. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1390. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1391. #1572
  1392. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1393. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1394. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1395. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1396. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1397. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1398. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1399. - docs:
  1400. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1401. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1402. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1403. - add bestpractices badge

  1410. - add debug-info usage help file
  1411. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1412. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1413. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1414. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1415. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1416. - tests:
  1417. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1418. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1419. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1420. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1421. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1422. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1423. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1424. --------------------------
  1425. Security fixes:
  1426. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1427. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1428. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1429. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1430. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1431. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1432. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1433. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1434. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1435. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1436. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1437. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1438. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1439. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1440. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1441. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1442. Bug fixes:
  1443. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1444. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1445. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1446. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1447. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1448. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1449. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1450. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1451. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1452. New features:
  1453. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1454. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1455. Other changes:
  1456. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1457. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1458. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1459. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1460. -----------------------------
  1461. Bug fixes:
  1462. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1463. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1464. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1465. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1466. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1467. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1468. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1469. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1470. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1471. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1472. these would never be cleaned up.
  1473. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1474. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1475. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1476. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1477. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1478. path being a integer FD
  1479. Other changes:
  1480. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1481. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1482. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1483. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1484. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1485. real problem.
  1486. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1487. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1488. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1489. - docs:
  1490. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1491. - improve prune examples
  1492. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1493. -----------------------------
  1494. Bug fixes:
  1495. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1496. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1497. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1498. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1499. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1500. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1501. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1502. to 20, #1338
  1503. - FUSE:
  1504. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1505. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1506. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1507. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1508. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1509. New features:
  1510. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1511. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1512. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1513. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1514. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1515. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1516. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1517. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1518. server), #1291.
  1519. Other changes:
  1520. - Vagrantfile:
  1521. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1522. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1523. - tests:
  1524. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1525. - docs:
  1526. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1527. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1528. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1529. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1530. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1531. - added platform feature matrix
  1532. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1533. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1534. --------------------------
  1535. Bug fixes:
  1536. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1537. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1538. Other changes:
  1539. - tests:
  1540. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1541. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1542. - docs:
  1543. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1544. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1545. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1546. -----------------------------
  1547. New features:
  1548. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1549. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1550. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1551. Bug fixes:
  1552. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1553. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1554. repository code.
  1555. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1556. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1557. #1295
  1558. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1559. used), #1302. (*)
  1560. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1561. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1562. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1563. Other changes:
  1564. - tests:
  1565. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1566. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1567. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1568. - docs:
  1569. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1570. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1571. Notes:
  1572. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1573. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1574. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1575. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1576. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1577. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1578. --------------------------
  1579. Bug fixes:
  1580. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1581. Other changes:
  1582. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1583. - add release helper scripts
  1584. - Vagrantfile:
  1585. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1586. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1587. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1588. --------------------------
  1589. New features:
  1590. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1591. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1592. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1593. practically usable.
  1594. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1595. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1596. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1597. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1598. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1599. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1600. Bug fixes:
  1601. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1602. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1603. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1604. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1605. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1606. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1607. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1608. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1609. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1610. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1611. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1612. error reporting.
  1613. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1614. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1615. sync the containing directory.
  1616. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1617. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1618. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1619. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1620. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1621. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1622. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1623. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1624. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1625. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1626. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1627. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1628. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1629. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1630. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1631. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1632. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1633. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1634. - borg delete:
  1635. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1636. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1637. - borg check:
  1638. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1639. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1640. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1641. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1642. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1643. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1644. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1645. - tests:
  1646. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1647. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1648. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1649. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264

  1663. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1664. - update cygwin installation docs
  1665. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1666. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1667. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1668. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1669. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1670. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1671. - Vagrantfile:

  1677. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1678. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1679. --------------------------
  1680. Bug fixes:
  1681. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1682. a prune run), #997
  1683. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1684. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1685. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1686. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1687. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1688. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1689. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1690. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1691. space), #1063
  1692. Other changes:
  1693. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933

  1701. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1702. --------------------------
  1703. Bug fixes:
  1704. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1705. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1706. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1707. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1708. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1709. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1710. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1711. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1712. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1713. a overflow would have occurred.
  1714. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1715. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1716. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1717. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1718. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1719. Other changes:
  1720. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1721. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1722. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1723. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1724. - docs:
  1725. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1726. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1727. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1728. --------------------------
  1729. New features:
  1730. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1731. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1732. also:
  1733. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1734. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1735. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1736. possibly CIFS).
  1737. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1738. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1739. this on his own.
  1740. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1741. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1742. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1743. Bug fixes:
  1744. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1745. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1746. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1747. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1748. - fix build on illumos
  1749. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1750. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1751. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1752. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1753. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1754. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1755. instead, #791
  1756. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1757. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1758. #798
  1759. Other changes:
  1760. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1761. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1762. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1763. - docs:
  1764. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1765. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1766. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1767. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1768. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1769. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1770. --------------------------
  1771. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1772. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1773. check your backup logs.
  1774. Compatibility notes:
  1775. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1776. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1777. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1778. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1779. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1780. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1781. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1782. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1783. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1784. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1785. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1786. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1787. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1788. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1789. use --one-file-system instead
  1790. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1791. - -p now is same as --progress
  1792. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1793. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1794. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1795. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1796. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1797. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1798. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1799. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1800. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1801. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1802. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1803. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1804. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1805. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1806. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1807. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1808. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1809. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1810. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1811. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1812. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1813. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1814. usage).
  1815. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1816. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1817. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1818. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1819. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1820. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1821. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1822. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1823. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1824. New features:
  1825. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1826. Bug fixes:
  1827. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1828. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1829. Other changes:
  1830. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1831. - docs:
  1832. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1833. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  1834. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698
  1835. - FAQ: how to limit bandwidth

  1840. - borg list --list-format
  1841. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  1842. Bug fixes:
  1843. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  1844. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1845. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1846. as borg info, #651
  1847. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1848. Other changes:
  1849. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1850. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1851. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1852. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1853. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1854. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1855. - docs:
  1856. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1857. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1858. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1859. - fix order in release process
  1860. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1866. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  1867. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1868. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  1872. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1873. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1874. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  1875. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  1876. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544
  1877. - use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keys for keyfile keys (~/.config/borg/keys), #515

  1886. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  1887. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  1888. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1889. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  1890. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  1891. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  1892. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  1893. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code
  1894. - use "mock" library from stdlib, #145

  1907. - misc. updates and fixes
  1908. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1909. ---------------------------
  1910. Compatibility notes:
  1911. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1912. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1913. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1914. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1915. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1916. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1917. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1918. Bug fixes:
  1919. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  1920. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  1921. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  1922. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  1923. - log stats consistently, #526
  1924. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496
  1925. - strip whitespace when loading exclusions from file
  1926. - unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH before invoking ssh, fixes strange OpenSSL library
  1927. version warning when using the borg binary, #514
  1928. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  1929. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1930. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1931. New features:
  1932. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1933. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1934. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1935. - support different styles for patterns:
  1936. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1937. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1938. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1939. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1940. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1941. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1942. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1943. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1944. files or for borg check repo), #500
  1945. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1946. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1947. file list output
  1948. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1949. Other changes:
  1950. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1951. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1952. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1953. fixes #569
  1954. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1955. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1956. than debian7

  1974. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1975. ---------------------------
  1976. Compatibility notes:
  1977. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1978. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1979. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1980. option.
  1981. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1982. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1983. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1984. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1985. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1986. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1987. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1988. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1989. Bug fixes:
  1990. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1991. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)

  2005. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2006. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2007. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2008. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2009. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2010. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2011. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".

  2233. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2234. ---------------------------
  2235. Compatibility notes:
  2236. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2237. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2238. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2239. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2240. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2241. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2242. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2243. Deprecations:
  2244. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2245. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2246. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2247. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2248. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2249. (which is the default).
  2250. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2251. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2252. New features:
  2253. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2254. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2255. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2256. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2257. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2258. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2259. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2260. Bug fixes:
  2261. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2262. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2263. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2264. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2265. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2266. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2267. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2268. Other changes:
  2269. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2270. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2271. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2272. - more tests for archiver
  2273. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2274. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2275. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2276. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2277. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2278. - improved docs:
  2279. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2280. - update docs about compression
  2281. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2282. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2283. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2284. - theme: use a lighter green
  2285. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2286. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2287. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2288. ---------------------------
  2289. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2290. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2291. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2292. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2293. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2294. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2295. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2296. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2297. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2298. Deprecations:
  2299. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2300. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2301. New features:
  2302. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2303. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2304. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2305. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2306. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2307. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2308. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2309. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2310. (attic #295).
  2311. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2312. fixes #85
  2313. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2314. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
