  1. Changelog
  2. =========
  3. Version 0.29.0 (not released yet)
  4. ---------------------------------
  5. Compatibility notes:
  6. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  7. installations due to the locking related changes otherwise you'll get an
  8. error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch.
  9. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  10. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  11. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  12. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  13. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  14. Bug fixes:
  15. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  16. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  17. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, see #285
  18. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  19. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463

  27. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning),
  28. fixes #426
  29. note: there are no messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  30. - configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  31. - add a --no-progress flag to forcibly disable progress info
  32. - add a --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added

  35. Other changes:
  36. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache resync for new archives)

  249. Version 0.25.0
  250. --------------
  251. Compatibility notes:
  252. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  253. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  254. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  255. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  256. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  257. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  258. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  259. Deprecations:
  260. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  261. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  262. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  263. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  264. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  265. (which is the default).
  266. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  267. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  268. New features:
  269. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  270. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  271. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  272. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  273. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  274. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  275. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  276. Bug fixes:
  277. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  278. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  279. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  280. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  281. the whole file, fixes #158.
  282. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  283. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  284. Other changes:
  285. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  286. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  287. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  288. - more tests for archiver
  289. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  290. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  291. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  292. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  293. - travis CI: use requirements file
  294. - improved docs:
  295. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  296. - update docs about compression
  297. - update development docs about fakeroot

  303. Version 0.24.0
  304. --------------
  305. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  306. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  307. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  308. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  309. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  310. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  311. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  312. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  313. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  314. Deprecations:
  315. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  316. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  317. New features:
  318. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  319. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  320. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  321. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  322. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  323. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  324. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  325. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  326. (attic #295).
  327. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  328. fixes #85
  329. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  330. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  331. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  332. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  333. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  334. - cache sync: show progress indication
  335. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  336. Bug fixes:
  337. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  338. signed size_t), #116
  339. - fix the repair mode, #144
  340. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  341. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  342. (attic #317, attic #201).
  343. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  344. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  345. fixes attic #326.
  346. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  347. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  348. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  349. Other changes:
  350. - improved docs:
  351. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  352. "as is" into the html docs.
  353. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  354. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  355. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  356. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  357. - updated AUTHORS
  358. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  359. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  360. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  361. - added docs about development
  362. - add some words about resource usage in general
  363. - document how to backup a raw disk
  364. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  365. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  366. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  367. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  368. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  369. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  370. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  371. - improved tox configuration
  372. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  373. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  374. modern installs
  375. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  376. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  377. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  378. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  379. New features:
  380. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  381. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  382. attic #167)
  383. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  384. - hashindex: improve error messages
  385. Other changes:
  386. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  387. - some easy micro optimizations
  388. Version 0.23.0
  389. --------------
  390. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  391. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  392. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  393. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  394. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  395. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  396. Bug fixes:
  397. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185

  402. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  403. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  404. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  405. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  406. always fails
  407. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  408. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257

  412. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  413. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  414. - create -v output more informative
  415. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  416. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
  417. - create: if "-" is given as path, read binary from stdin
  418. - extract: if --stdout is given, write all extracted binary data to stdout
  419. - extract --sparse (simple sparse file support)
  420. - extra debug information for 'fread failed'
