  4. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  5. .. _broken_validator:
  6. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  7. -----------------------------------------
  8. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  9. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  10. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  11. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  12. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  13. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  14. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  15. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  16. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  17. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  18. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  19. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  20. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  21. discarded from the archive.
  22. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  23. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  24. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  25. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  26. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  27. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  28. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  29. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  30. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  31. items are listed.
  32. .. _tam_vuln:
  33. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  34. ----------------------------------------------------------
  35. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  36. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  37. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  38. 2. gain write access to the repository
  39. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  40. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  41. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  42. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  43. for large archives.
  44. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  45. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  46. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  47. Steps you should take:
  48. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  49. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  50. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  51. 4. Done.
  52. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  53. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  54. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  55. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  56. otherwise.
  57. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  58. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  59. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  60. This attack is mitigated by:
  61. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  62. contain the archive IDs.
  63. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  64. Vulnerability time line:
  65. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  66. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  67. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  68. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  69. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  70. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  71. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  72. -----------------------------
  73. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  74. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  75. archives. See issue #1837.
  76. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  77. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  78. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  79. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  80. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  81. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  82. -----------------------------------
  83. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  84. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  85. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  86. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  87. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  88. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  89. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  90. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  91. Fix::
  92. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  93. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  94. # repair the repo:
  95. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  96. # make sure everything is fixed:
  97. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  98. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  99. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  100. Fix::

  112. =========
  113. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  114. --------------------------
  115. Compatibility notes:
  116. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  117. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  118. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  119. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  120. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  121. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  122. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  123. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  124. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  125. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  126. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  127. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  128. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  129. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  130. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  131. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  132. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  133. be used:
  134. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  135. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  136. Fixes:
  137. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  138. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  139. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  140. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  141. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  142. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  143. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  144. New features:
  145. - added zstd compression. try it!
  146. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  147. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  148. Other changes:
  149. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  150. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  151. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  152. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  153. - updated fish/bash completions
  154. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  155. - docs:
  156. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  157. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  158. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  159. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  160. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  161. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  162. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  163. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  164. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  165. - blake2 was already bundled
  166. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  167. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  168. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  169. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  170. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  171. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  172. --------------------------
  173. Fixes:
  174. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  175. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  176. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  177. controls post-authentication.
  178. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  179. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  180. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  181. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  182. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  183. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  184. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  185. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  186. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  187. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  188. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  189. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  190. New features:
  191. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  192. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  193. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  194. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  195. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  196. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  197. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  198. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  199. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  200. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  201. Other changes:
  202. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  203. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  204. - docs:
  205. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  206. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  207. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  208. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  209. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  210. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  211. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  212. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  213. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  214. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  215. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  216. - update release checklist about security fixes
  217. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  218. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  219. bsdflags, #3239
  220. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  221. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  222. --------------------------
  223. Fixes:
  224. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  225. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  226. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  227. handling for stat() call, #3209
  228. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  229. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  230. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  231. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  232. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  233. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  234. New features:
  235. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  236. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  237. Other changes:
  238. - docs:
  239. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  240. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  241. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  242. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  243. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  244. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  245. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  246. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  247. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  248. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  249. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  250. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  251. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  252. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  253. --------------------------
  254. Compatibility notes:
  255. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  256. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  257. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  258. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  259. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  260. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  261. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  262. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  263. Fixes:
  264. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  265. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  266. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  267. these archives, see also #3157.
  268. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  269. slowness, #3130
  270. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  271. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  272. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  273. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  274. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  275. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  276. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  277. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  278. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  279. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  280. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  281. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  282. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  283. New features:
  284. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  285. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  286. Other changes:
  287. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  288. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  289. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  290. - docs:
  291. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  292. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  293. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  294. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  295. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  296. --------------------------
  297. Compatibility notes:
  298. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  299. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  300. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  301. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  302. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  303. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  304. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  305. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  306. Fixes:
  307. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  308. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  309. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  310. Other changes:
  311. - docs:
  312. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  313. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  314. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  315. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  316. -----------------------------
  317. Compatibility notes:
  318. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  319. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  320. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  321. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  322. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  323. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  324. New features:
  325. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  326. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  327. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  328. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  329. Fixes:
  330. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  331. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  332. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  333. Other changes:
  334. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  335. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  336. - vagrant:
  337. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  338. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  339. - docs:
  340. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  341. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  342. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  343. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  344. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  345. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  346. -----------------------------
  347. New features:
  348. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  349. Fixes:
  350. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  351. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  352. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  353. Other changes:
  354. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  355. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  356. - docs:
  357. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  358. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  359. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  360. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  361. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  362. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  363. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  364. -----------------------------
  365. Compatibility notes:
  366. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  367. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  368. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  369. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  370. and the default is now "mtime".
  371. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  372. New features:
  373. - None.
  374. Fixes:
  375. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  376. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  377. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  378. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  379. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  380. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  381. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  382. Other changes:
  383. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  384. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  385. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  386. - delete various nogil and threading related lines

  390. - create: document exclusion through nodump, #2949
  391. - minor formatting fixes
  392. - tar: tarpipe example
  393. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  394. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  395. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  396. - vagrant:
  397. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  398. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  399. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  400. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  401. -----------------------------
  402. Compatibility notes:
  403. - delete: removed short option for --cache-only
  404. New features:
  405. - support borg list repo --format {comment} {bcomment} {end}, #2081
  406. - key import: allow reading from stdin, #2760

  413. - include testsuite data (attic.tar.gz) when installing the package
  414. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  415. #2174 #2175
  416. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  417. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  418. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  419. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853
  420. Other changes:
  421. - FUSE: versions view: linear numbering by archive time
  422. - split up interval parsing from filtering for --keep-within, #2610

  456. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  457. ----------------------------
  458. Compatibility notes:
  459. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  460. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  461. an append-only repository.
  462. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  463. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  464. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  465. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  466. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  467. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  468. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  469. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  470. not affect scripts.
  471. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  472. repositories they are.
  473. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  474. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  475. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  476. New features:
  477. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  478. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  479. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  480. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  481. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:

  848. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  849. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  850. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  851. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  960. take.
  961. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  962. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  963. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing

  989. Bug fixes:
  990. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  991. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged

  993. - borg check:
  994. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1001. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1002. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1003. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  1035. Bug fixes:
  1036. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1037. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  1076. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1077. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1078. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1079. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1080. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1081. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1082. - borg check:
  1083. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1084. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1085. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1086. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1087. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1088. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1089. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1090. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1091. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes

  1095. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1096. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1097. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.

  1169. New features:
  1170. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1171. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1172. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1173. Other changes:
  1174. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1175. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1176. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1177. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1178. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1179. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1180. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  1202. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1203. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1204. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1205. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.

  1207. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1208. was openend. add an error message for this.

  1220. New features:
  1221. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1222. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1223. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1224. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1225. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1226. soon as it is input.
  1227. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1228. #1352
  1229. Other changes:

  1231. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1232. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1233. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1234. dataflow direction.
  1235. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1236. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1237. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1238. #1572
  1239. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1240. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700

  1269. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1270. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1271. --------------------------
  1272. Security fixes:
  1273. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1274. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1275. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1276. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1277. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1278. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1279. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1280. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1281. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1282. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1283. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1284. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1285. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1286. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1287. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1288. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1289. Bug fixes:
  1290. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1291. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1292. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1293. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1294. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1295. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1296. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1297. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1298. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1299. New features:
  1300. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1301. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1302. Other changes:
  1303. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1304. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1305. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1306. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1307. -----------------------------
  1308. Bug fixes:
  1309. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1310. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1311. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1312. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1313. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1314. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1315. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1316. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1317. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1318. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1319. these would never be cleaned up.
  1320. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1321. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1322. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1323. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1324. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1325. path being a integer FD
  1326. Other changes:
  1327. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1328. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1329. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1330. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1331. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1332. real problem.
  1333. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1334. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1335. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1336. - docs:
  1337. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1338. - improve prune examples
  1339. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1340. -----------------------------
  1341. Bug fixes:
  1342. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1343. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1344. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1345. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1346. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1347. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1348. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1349. to 20, #1338
  1350. - FUSE:
  1351. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1352. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1353. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1354. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1355. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1356. New features:
  1357. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1358. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1359. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1360. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1361. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1362. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1363. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1364. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1365. server), #1291.
  1366. Other changes:
  1367. - Vagrantfile:
  1368. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1369. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1370. - tests:
  1371. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1372. - docs:
  1373. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1374. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1375. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1376. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1377. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1378. - added platform feature matrix
  1379. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1380. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1381. --------------------------
  1382. Bug fixes:
  1383. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1384. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1385. Other changes:
  1386. - tests:
  1387. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1388. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1389. - docs:
  1390. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1391. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1392. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1393. -----------------------------
  1394. New features:
  1395. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1396. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1397. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1398. Bug fixes:
  1399. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1400. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1401. repository code.
  1402. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1403. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1404. #1295
  1405. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1406. used), #1302. (*)
  1407. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1408. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1409. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1410. Other changes:
  1411. - tests:
  1412. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1413. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1414. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1415. - docs:
  1416. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1417. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1418. Notes:
  1419. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1420. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1421. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1422. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1423. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1424. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1425. --------------------------
  1426. Bug fixes:
  1427. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1428. Other changes:
  1429. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1430. - add release helper scripts
  1431. - Vagrantfile:
  1432. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1433. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1434. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1435. --------------------------
  1436. New features:
  1437. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1438. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1439. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1440. practically usable.
  1441. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1442. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1443. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1444. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1445. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1446. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1447. Bug fixes:
  1448. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1449. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1450. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1451. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1452. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1453. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1454. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1455. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1456. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1457. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1458. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1459. error reporting.
  1460. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1461. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1462. sync the containing directory.
  1463. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1464. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1465. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1466. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1467. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1468. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1469. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1470. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1471. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1472. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1473. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1474. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1475. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1476. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1477. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1478. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1479. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1480. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1481. - borg delete:
  1482. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1483. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1484. - borg check:
  1485. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1486. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1487. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1488. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1489. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1490. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1491. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1492. - tests:
  1493. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1494. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1495. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1496. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1497. Other changes:
  1498. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1499. - docs / help:
  1500. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1501. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1502. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1503. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1504. - document sshd settings, #545
  1505. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1506. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1507. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1508. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1509. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1510. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1511. - update cygwin installation docs
  1512. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1513. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1514. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1515. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1516. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1517. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1518. - Vagrantfile:
  1519. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1520. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1521. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1522. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1523. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1524. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1525. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1526. --------------------------
  1527. Bug fixes:
  1528. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1529. a prune run), #997
  1530. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1531. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1532. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1533. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1534. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1535. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1536. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1537. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1538. space), #1063
  1539. Other changes:
  1540. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1541. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1542. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1543. - docs / help:
  1544. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1545. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1546. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1547. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1548. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1549. --------------------------
  1550. Bug fixes:
  1551. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1552. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1553. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1554. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1555. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1556. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1557. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1558. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1559. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1560. a overflow would have occurred.
  1561. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1562. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1563. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1564. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1565. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1566. Other changes:
  1567. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1568. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1569. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1570. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1571. - docs:
  1572. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1573. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1574. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1575. --------------------------
  1576. New features:
  1577. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1578. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1579. also:
  1580. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1581. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1582. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1583. possibly CIFS).
  1584. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1585. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1586. this on his own.
  1587. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1588. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1589. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1590. Bug fixes:
  1591. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1592. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1593. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1594. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1595. - fix build on illumos
  1596. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1597. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1598. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1599. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1600. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1601. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1602. instead, #791
  1603. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1604. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1605. #798
  1606. Other changes:
  1607. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1608. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1609. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1610. - docs:
  1611. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1612. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1613. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1614. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1615. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1616. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1617. --------------------------
  1618. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1619. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1620. check your backup logs.
  1621. Compatibility notes:
  1622. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1623. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1624. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1625. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1626. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1627. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1628. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1629. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1630. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1631. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1632. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1633. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1634. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1635. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1636. use --one-file-system instead
  1637. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1638. - -p now is same as --progress
  1639. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1640. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1641. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1642. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1643. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1644. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1645. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1646. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1647. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1648. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1649. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1650. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1651. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1652. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1653. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1654. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1655. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1656. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1657. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1658. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1659. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1660. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1661. usage).
  1662. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1663. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1664. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1665. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1666. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1667. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1668. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1669. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1670. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1671. New features:

  1695. Other changes:
  1696. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1697. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1698. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1699. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.

  1755. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1756. ---------------------------
  1757. Compatibility notes:
  1758. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1759. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1760. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1761. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1762. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1763. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1764. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1765. Bug fixes:
  1766. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  1776. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1777. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1778. New features:
  1779. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1780. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1781. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1782. - support different styles for patterns:
  1783. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1784. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1785. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1786. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1787. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1788. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1789. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  1793. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1794. file list output
  1795. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1796. Other changes:
  1797. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1798. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1799. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1800. fixes #569
  1801. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1802. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1803. than debian7
  1804. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1805. - docs:
  1806. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  1807. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  1819. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  1820. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1821. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1822. ---------------------------
  1823. Compatibility notes:
  1824. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1825. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1826. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1827. option.
  1828. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1829. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1830. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1831. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1832. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1833. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1834. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1835. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1836. Bug fixes:
  1837. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1838. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1839. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1840. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1841. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1842. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1843. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1844. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1845. New features:
  1846. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1847. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1848. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1849. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1850. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1851. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1852. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1853. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1854. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1855. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1856. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1857. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1858. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1859. - more progress indicators, #394
  1860. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1861. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  1862. Other changes:
  1863. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  1864. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  1865. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  1886. ---------------------------
  1887. New features:
  1888. - borg create --exclude-if-present TAGFILE - exclude directories that have the
  1889. given file from the backup. You can additionally give --keep-tag-files to
  1890. preserve just the directory roots and the tag-files (but not backup other

  2080. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2081. ---------------------------
  2082. Compatibility notes:
  2083. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2084. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2085. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2086. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2087. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2088. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2089. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2090. Deprecations:
  2091. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2092. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2093. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2094. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2095. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2096. (which is the default).
  2097. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2098. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2099. New features:
  2100. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2101. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2102. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2103. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2104. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2105. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2106. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2107. Bug fixes:
  2108. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2109. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2110. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2111. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2112. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2113. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2114. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2115. Other changes:
  2116. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2117. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2118. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2119. - more tests for archiver
  2120. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2121. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2122. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2123. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2124. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2125. - improved docs:
  2126. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2127. - update docs about compression
  2128. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2129. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2130. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2131. - theme: use a lighter green
  2132. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2133. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2134. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2135. ---------------------------
  2136. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2137. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2138. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2139. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2140. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2141. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2142. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2143. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2144. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2145. Deprecations:
  2146. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2147. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2148. New features:
  2149. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2150. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2151. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2152. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2153. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2154. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2155. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2156. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2157. (attic #295).
  2158. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2159. fixes #85
  2160. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2161. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2162. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2163. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2164. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2165. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2166. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2167. Bug fixes:
  2168. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2169. signed size_t), #116
  2170. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2171. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2172. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2173. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2174. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2175. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2176. fixes attic #326.
  2177. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2178. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2179. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2180. Other changes:
  2181. - improved docs:
  2182. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2183. "as is" into the html docs.
  2184. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2185. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2186. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2187. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2188. - updated AUTHORS
  2189. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2190. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2191. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2192. - added docs about development
  2193. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2194. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2195. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2196. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2197. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2198. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2199. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2200. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2201. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2202. - improved tox configuration
  2203. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2204. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2205. modern installs
  2206. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2207. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2208. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2209. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2210. New features:
  2211. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2212. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2213. attic #167)
  2214. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2215. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2216. Other changes:
  2217. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2218. - some easy micro optimizations
  2219. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2220. ---------------------------
  2221. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2222. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2223. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2224. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2225. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2226. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2227. Bug fixes:
  2228. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2229. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2230. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2231. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  2232. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282

  2234. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  2235. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2236. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2237. always fails
  2238. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2239. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2240. New features:
  2241. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  2242. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2243. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2244. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2245. - create -v output more informative
  2246. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2247. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
