  2. Important notes
  3. ===============
  4. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  5. .. _hashindex_set_bug:
  6. Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
  7. -------------------------------------------------------
  8. A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829.
  9. The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.
  10. Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption did not
  11. happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions to happen.
  12. Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare (and
  13. also detectable via borg check).
  14. You might be affected if borg crashed with / complained about:
  15. - AssertionError: Corrupted segment reference count - corrupted index or hints
  16. - ObjectNotFound: Object with key ... not found in repository ...
  17. - Index mismatch for key b'...'. (..., ...) != (-1, -1)
  18. - ValueError: stats_against: key contained in self but not in master_index.
  19. Advised procedure to fix any related issue in your indexes/caches:
  20. - install fixed borg code (on client AND server)
  21. - for all of your clients and repos remove the cache by:
  22. borg delete --cache-only YOURREPO
  23. (later, the cache will be re-built automatically)
  24. - for all your repos, rebuild the repo index by:
  25. borg check --repair YOURREPO
  26. This will also check all archives and detect if there is any data-loss issue.
  27. Affected branches / releases:
  28. - fd06497 introduced the bug into 1.1-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.1.x since 1.1.0b4.
  29. - fd06497 introduced the bug into master branch - it affects all borg 1.2.0 alpha releases.
  30. - c5cd882 introduced the bug into 1.0-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.0.x since 1.0.11rc1.
  31. The bug was fixed by:
  32. - 701159a fixes the bug in 1.1-maint branch - will be released with borg 1.1.11.
  33. - fa63150 fixes the bug in master branch - will be released with borg 1.2.0a8.
  34. - 7bb90b6 fixes the bug in 1.0-maint branch. Branch is EOL, no new release is planned as of now.
  35. .. _broken_validator:
  36. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  37. -----------------------------------------
  38. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  39. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  40. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  41. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  42. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  43. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  44. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  45. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  46. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  47. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  48. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  49. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  50. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  51. discarded from the archive.
  52. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  53. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  54. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  55. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  56. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  57. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  58. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  59. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  60. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  61. items are listed.
  62. .. _tam_vuln:
  63. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  64. ----------------------------------------------------------
  65. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  66. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  67. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  68. 2. gain write access to the repository
  69. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  70. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  71. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  72. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  73. for large archives.
  74. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  75. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  76. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  77. Steps you should take:
  78. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  79. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  80. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  81. 4. Done.
  82. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  83. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  84. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  85. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  86. otherwise.
  87. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  88. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  89. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  90. This attack is mitigated by:
  91. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  92. contain the archive IDs.
  93. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  94. Vulnerability time line:
  95. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  96. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  97. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  98. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  99. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  100. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  101. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  102. -----------------------------
  103. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  104. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  105. archives. See issue #1837.
  106. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  107. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  108. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  109. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  110. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  111. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  112. -----------------------------------
  113. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  114. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  115. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  116. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  117. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  118. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  119. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  120. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  121. Fix::
  122. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  123. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  124. # repair the repo:
  125. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  126. # make sure everything is fixed:
  127. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  128. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  129. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  130. Fix::
  131. # check for corrupt archives:
  132. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  133. # delete the corrupt archives:
  134. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  135. # make sure everything is fixed:
  136. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  137. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  138. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  139. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE
  140. .. _changelog:
  141. Changelog
  142. =========
  143. Version 1.1.12 (2020-06-06)
  144. ---------------------------
  145. Compatibility notes:
  146. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  147. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  148. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  149. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  150. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  151. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  152. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  153. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  154. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  155. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  156. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  157. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  158. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  159. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  160. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  161. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  162. work around the WSL issue.
  163. Fixes:
  164. - fix preload-related memory leak, #5202.
  165. - mount / borgfs (FUSE filesystem):
  166. - fix FUSE low linear read speed on large files, #5067
  167. - fix crash on old llfuse without birthtime attrs, #5064 - accidentally
  168. we required llfuse >= 1.3. Now also old llfuse works again.
  169. - set f_namemax in statfs result, #2684
  170. - update precedence of env vars to set config and cache paths, #4894
  171. - correctly calculate compression ratio, taking header size into account, too

  282. Version 1.1.10 (2019-05-16)
  283. ---------------------------
  284. Fixes:
  285. - extract: hang on partial extraction with ssh: repo, when hardlink master

  291. - borg command shall terminate with rc 2 for ImportErrors, #4424
  292. - create: only run stat_simple_attrs() once, this increases
  293. backup with lots of unchanged files performance by ~ 5%.

  299. from setup.py install_requires - by default we use the bundled code now.
  300. optionally, we still support using an external msgpack (see hints in
  301. setup.py), but this requires solid requirements management within
  302. distributions and is not recommended.
  303. borgbackup will break if you upgrade msgpack to an unsupported version.

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

  538. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  539. --------------------------
  540. Compatibility notes:
  541. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  542. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  543. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  544. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  545. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  546. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  547. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  548. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  549. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  550. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  551. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  552. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  553. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  554. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  555. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  556. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  557. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  558. be used:
  559. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  560. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  561. Fixes:
  562. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  563. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  564. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  565. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  566. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  567. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  568. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  569. New features:
  570. - added zstd compression. try it!
  571. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  572. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  573. Other changes:
  574. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested

  583. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  584. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  585. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  586. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  587. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  588. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  589. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  590. - blake2 was already bundled
  591. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  592. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  593. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  594. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  595. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  596. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  597. --------------------------
  598. Fixes:
  599. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  600. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  601. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  602. controls post-authentication.
  603. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  604. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  605. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  606. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  607. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  608. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  609. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  610. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  611. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  612. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  613. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  614. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  615. New features:
  616. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  617. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  618. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  619. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  620. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  621. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  622. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  623. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  624. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  625. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  626. Other changes:
  627. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  628. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  629. - docs:
  630. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  631. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  632. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  633. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111

  635. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  636. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  637. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  638. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  639. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  640. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  641. - update release checklist about security fixes
  642. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  643. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  644. bsdflags, #3239
  645. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  646. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  647. --------------------------
  648. Fixes:
  649. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  650. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  651. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  652. handling for stat() call, #3209
  653. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  654. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  655. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  656. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  657. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  658. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  659. New features:
  660. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  661. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  662. Other changes:
  663. - docs:
  664. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  665. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  666. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  667. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  668. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  669. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  670. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  671. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  672. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  673. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  674. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  675. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  676. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  677. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  678. --------------------------
  679. Compatibility notes:
  680. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  681. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  682. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  683. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  684. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  685. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  686. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  687. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  688. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  689. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  690. speed up backup creation.
  691. Fixes:
  692. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  693. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  694. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  695. these archives, see also #3157.
  696. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  697. slowness, #3130
  698. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  699. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  700. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  701. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  702. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  703. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  704. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  705. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  706. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  707. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  708. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  709. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  710. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  711. New features:
  712. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  713. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  714. Other changes:
  715. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  716. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  717. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  718. - docs:
  719. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  720. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  721. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  722. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  723. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  724. --------------------------
  725. Compatibility notes:
  726. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  727. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  728. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  729. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  730. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  731. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  732. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  733. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  734. Fixes:
  735. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  736. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  737. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  738. Other changes:
  739. - docs:
  740. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  741. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  742. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  743. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  744. -----------------------------
  745. Compatibility notes:
  746. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  747. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  748. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  749. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  750. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  751. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  752. New features:
  753. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  754. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  755. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  756. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  757. Fixes:
  758. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  759. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  760. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  761. Other changes:
  762. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  763. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  764. - vagrant:
  765. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  766. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  767. - docs:
  768. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  769. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  770. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  771. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  772. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  773. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  774. -----------------------------
  775. New features:
  776. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958

  778. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  779. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  780. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  781. Other changes:
  782. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  783. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  784. - docs:
  785. - fix macOS keychain integration command

  790. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  791. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  792. -----------------------------
  793. Compatibility notes:
  794. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  795. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  796. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  797. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  798. and the default is now "mtime".
  799. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  800. New features:
  801. - None.
  802. Fixes:
  803. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  804. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  805. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  806. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  807. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  808. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  809. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  810. Other changes:
  811. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  812. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  813. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933

  819. - minor formatting fixes
  820. - tar: tarpipe example
  821. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  822. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  823. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  824. - vagrant:
  825. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  826. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  827. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  828. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  829. -----------------------------
  830. Compatibility notes:
  831. - delete: removed short option for --cache-only

  842. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  843. #2174 #2175
  844. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  845. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  846. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  847. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853
  848. Other changes:
  849. - FUSE: versions view: linear numbering by archive time
  850. - split up interval parsing from filtering for --keep-within, #2610

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

  955. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  956. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  957. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  958. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  959. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  960. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  961. Other changes:
  962. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  963. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  964. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  965. - restrict key file names, #2560
  966. - document follow_symlinks requirements, check libc, use stat and chown
  967. with follow_symlinks=False, #2507
  968. - support common options on the main command, #2508
  969. - support common options on mid-level commands (e.g. borg *key* export)
  970. - make --progress a common option
  971. - increase DEFAULT_SEGMENTS_PER_DIR to 1000
  972. - chunker: fix invalid use of types (function only used by tests)

  986. - init: document SHA extension is supported in OpenSSL and thus SHA is
  987. faster on AMD Ryzen than blake2b.
  988. - book: use A4 format, new builder option format.
  989. - book: create appendices
  990. - data structures: explain repository compaction

  1383. Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
  1384. --------------------------
  1385. Security fixes:
  1386. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1387. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1388. take.
  1389. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1390. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1391. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1392. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1393. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1394. Bug fixes:
  1395. - borg check:
  1396. - rebuild manifest if it's corrupted

  1417. Bug fixes:
  1418. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1419. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1420. files in next backup), #1860.
  1421. - borg check:
  1422. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1427. New features:
  1428. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  1429. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1430. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1431. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  1432. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  1433. Other changes:

  1457. - do not try to install llfuse on centos6
  1458. - fix FUSE test for darwin, #1546
  1459. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  1460. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  1461. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  1462. ----------------------------
  1463. Bug fixes:
  1464. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1465. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is
  1466. normally fixed by running another borg create/delete/prune.

  1474. - borg help compression, #1582
  1475. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  1476. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  1477. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1478. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1479. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  1480. Other changes:
  1481. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  1482. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  1483. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  1484. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  1485. - fix module names in api.rst

  1489. New features:
  1490. - new commands:
  1491. - borg recreate: re-create existing archives, #787 #686 #630 #70, also see
  1492. #757, #770.
  1493. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  1494. - re-compress data
  1495. - re-chunkify data, e.g. to have upgraded Attic / Borg 0.xx archives
  1496. deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives or to experiment with chunker-params.
  1497. - borg diff: show differences between archives
  1498. - borg with-lock: execute a command with the repository locked, #990
  1499. - borg create:

  1503. - in-file checkpoints, #1217
  1504. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1505. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1506. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1507. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1508. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1509. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1510. - borg check:
  1511. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1512. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1513. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1514. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1515. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1516. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1517. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1518. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1519. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  1520. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),
  1521. which includes the SHA1 and SHA2 family as well as MD5
  1522. - borg prune:
  1523. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1524. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1525. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  1526. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  1529. - borg extract:
  1530. - added --progress, #1449

  1532. - borg info:
  1533. - output is now more similar to borg create --stats, #977
  1534. - borg mount:
  1535. - provide "borgfs" wrapper for borg mount, enables usage via fstab, #743
  1536. - "versions" mount option - when used with a repository mount, this gives
  1537. a merged, versioned view of the files in all archives, #729
  1538. - repository:
  1539. - added progress information to commit/compaction phase (often takes some time when deleting/pruning), #1519
  1540. - automatic recovery for some forms of repository inconsistency, #858
  1541. - check free space before going forward with a commit, #1336

  1549. - add archive comments (via borg (re)create --comment), #842
  1550. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731

  1562. - fix hardlinks failing in some cases for extracting subtrees, #761
  1563. Other changes:
  1564. - replace stdlib hmac with OpenSSL, zero-copy decrypt (10-15% increase in
  1565. performance of hash-lists and extract).

  1578. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  1579. - Docs:
  1580. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  1581. - Group options
  1582. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  1583. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
  1584. - chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
  1585. - clarify what "deduplicated size" means
  1586. - fix / update / add package list entries
  1587. - added a SaltStack usage example, #956
  1588. - expanded FAQ

  1592. - ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
  1593. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  1594. --------------------------
  1595. Bug fixes:
  1596. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1597. New features:
  1598. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1599. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1600. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1601. Other changes:
  1602. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1603. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1604. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1605. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1606. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1607. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1608. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1609. - docs:
  1610. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1611. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1612. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1613. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1614. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix

  1617. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1618. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1619. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1620. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1621. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1622. -----------------------------
  1623. Bug fixes:
  1624. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1625. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1626. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1627. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1628. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1629. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1630. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1631. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1632. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1633. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1634. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1635. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1636. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1637. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1638. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1639. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1640. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1641. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1642. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1643. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1644. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1645. #1684
  1646. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1647. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1648. New features:
  1649. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1650. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1651. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1652. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1653. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1654. soon as it is input.
  1655. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1656. #1352
  1657. Other changes:
  1658. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1659. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1660. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1661. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1662. dataflow direction.
  1663. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1664. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1665. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1666. #1572
  1667. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1668. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1669. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1670. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1671. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1672. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1673. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1674. - docs:
  1675. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641

  1689. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1690. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1691. - tests:
  1692. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1693. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1694. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1695. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1696. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1697. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1698. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1699. --------------------------
  1700. Security fixes:
  1701. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1702. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1703. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1704. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1705. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1706. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1707. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1708. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1709. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1710. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1711. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1712. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1713. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1714. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1715. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1716. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1717. Bug fixes:
  1718. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1719. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1720. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1721. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1722. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1723. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1724. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1725. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1726. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1727. New features:
  1728. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1729. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1730. Other changes:
  1731. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1732. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1733. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1734. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1735. -----------------------------
  1736. Bug fixes:
  1737. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1738. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1739. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1740. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1741. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1742. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1743. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1744. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1745. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1746. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1747. these would never be cleaned up.
  1748. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1749. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1750. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1751. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1752. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1753. path being a integer FD
  1754. Other changes:
  1755. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1756. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1757. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1758. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1759. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1760. real problem.
  1761. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1762. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1763. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1764. - docs:
  1765. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1766. - improve prune examples
  1767. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1768. -----------------------------
  1769. Bug fixes:
  1770. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1771. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1772. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1773. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1774. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1775. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1776. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1777. to 20, #1338
  1778. - FUSE:
  1779. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1780. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1781. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1782. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1783. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1784. New features:
  1785. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1786. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1787. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1788. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1789. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1790. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1791. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1792. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1793. server), #1291.
  1794. Other changes:
  1795. - Vagrantfile:
  1796. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1797. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1798. - tests:
  1799. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1800. - docs:
  1801. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1802. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1803. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1804. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1805. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1806. - added platform feature matrix
  1807. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1808. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1809. --------------------------
  1810. Bug fixes:
  1811. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1812. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1813. Other changes:
  1814. - tests:
  1815. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1816. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1817. - docs:
  1818. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1819. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1820. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1821. -----------------------------
  1822. New features:
  1823. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1824. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1825. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1826. Bug fixes:
  1827. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1828. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1829. repository code.
  1830. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1831. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1832. #1295
  1833. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1834. used), #1302. (*)
  1835. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1836. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1837. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1838. Other changes:
  1839. - tests:
  1840. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1841. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1842. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1843. - docs:
  1844. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1845. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1846. Notes:
  1847. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1848. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1849. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1850. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1851. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1852. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1853. --------------------------
  1854. Bug fixes:
  1855. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1856. Other changes:
  1857. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1858. - add release helper scripts
  1859. - Vagrantfile:
  1860. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1861. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1862. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1863. --------------------------
  1864. New features:
  1865. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1866. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1867. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1868. practically usable.
  1869. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1870. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1871. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1872. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1873. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1874. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1875. Bug fixes:
  1876. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1877. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1878. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1879. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1880. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1881. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1882. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1883. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1884. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1885. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1886. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1887. error reporting.
  1888. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1889. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1890. sync the containing directory.
  1891. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1892. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1893. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1894. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1895. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1896. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1897. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1898. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1899. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1900. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1901. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1902. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1903. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1904. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1905. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1906. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1907. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1908. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1909. - borg delete:
  1910. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1911. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1912. - borg check:
  1913. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1914. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1915. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1916. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1917. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1918. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1919. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1920. - tests:
  1921. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1922. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1923. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1924. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1925. Other changes:
  1926. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1927. - docs / help:
  1928. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1929. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1930. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1931. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1932. - document sshd settings, #545
  1933. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1934. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1935. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1936. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1937. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1938. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1939. - update cygwin installation docs
  1940. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1941. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1942. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1943. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1944. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1945. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1946. - Vagrantfile:
  1947. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1948. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1949. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1950. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1951. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1952. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1953. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1954. --------------------------
  1955. Bug fixes:
  1956. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1957. a prune run), #997
  1958. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1959. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1960. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1961. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1962. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1963. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1964. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1965. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1966. space), #1063
  1967. Other changes:
  1968. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1969. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1970. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1971. - docs / help:
  1972. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1973. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1974. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1975. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1976. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1977. --------------------------
  1978. Bug fixes:
  1979. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1980. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1981. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1982. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1983. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1984. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1985. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1986. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1987. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1988. a overflow would have occurred.
  1989. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1990. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1991. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1992. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1993. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1994. Other changes:
  1995. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1996. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1997. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1998. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1999. - docs:
  2000. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  2001. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  2002. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  2003. --------------------------
  2004. New features:
  2005. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  2006. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  2007. also:
  2008. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  2009. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  2010. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  2011. possibly CIFS).
  2012. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  2013. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  2014. this on his own.
  2015. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  2016. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  2017. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  2018. Bug fixes:
  2019. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  2020. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  2021. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  2022. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  2023. - fix build on illumos
  2024. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  2025. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  2026. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  2027. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  2028. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  2029. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  2030. instead, #791
  2031. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  2032. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  2033. #798
  2034. Other changes:
  2035. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  2036. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  2037. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  2038. - docs:
  2039. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  2040. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  2041. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  2042. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  2043. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  2044. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  2045. --------------------------
  2046. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  2047. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  2048. check your backup logs.
  2049. Compatibility notes:
  2050. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  2051. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  2052. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  2053. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  2054. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  2055. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  2056. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  2057. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  2058. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  2059. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  2060. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  2061. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2062. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2063. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2064. use --one-file-system instead
  2065. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2066. - -p now is same as --progress
  2067. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2068. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2069. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2070. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2071. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2072. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2073. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2074. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2075. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2076. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2077. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2078. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2079. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2080. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2081. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2082. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2083. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2084. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2085. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2086. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2087. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2088. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2089. usage).
  2090. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2091. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2092. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2093. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2094. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2095. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2096. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2097. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2098. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2099. New features:
  2100. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2101. Bug fixes:
  2102. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  2103. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  2104. Other changes:
  2105. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  2106. - docs:
  2107. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  2108. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  2109. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698
  2110. - FAQ: how to limit bandwidth
  2111. Version 1.0.0rc2 (2016-02-28)
  2112. -----------------------------
  2113. New features:

  2124. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2125. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2126. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build

  2185. Compatibility notes:
  2186. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2187. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2188. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2189. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2190. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2191. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2192. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  2207. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2208. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2209. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2210. - support different styles for patterns:
  2211. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2212. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2213. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2214. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2215. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2216. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2217. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  2224. Other changes:
  2225. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2226. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2227. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2228. fixes #569
  2229. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2230. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2231. than debian7
  2232. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2233. - docs:

  2248. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2249. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2250. ---------------------------
  2251. Compatibility notes:
  2252. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2253. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2254. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2255. option.
  2256. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2257. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2258. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2259. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2260. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2261. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2262. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2263. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2264. Bug fixes:
  2265. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2266. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2267. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2268. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432

  2274. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2275. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2276. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2277. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2278. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2279. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2280. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2281. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2282. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2283. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2284. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2285. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2286. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2287. - more progress indicators, #394
  2288. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2289. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  2508. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2509. ---------------------------
  2510. Compatibility notes:
  2511. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2512. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2513. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2514. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2515. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2516. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2517. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2518. Deprecations:
  2519. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2520. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2521. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2522. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2523. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2524. (which is the default).
  2525. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2526. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2527. New features:
  2528. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2529. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2530. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2531. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2532. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2533. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2534. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2535. Bug fixes:
  2536. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2537. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2538. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2539. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2540. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2541. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2542. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2543. Other changes:
  2544. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2545. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2546. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2547. - more tests for archiver
  2548. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2549. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2550. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2551. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2552. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2553. - improved docs:
  2554. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2555. - update docs about compression
  2556. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2557. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2558. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2559. - theme: use a lighter green
  2560. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2561. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2562. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2563. ---------------------------
  2564. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2565. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2566. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2567. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2568. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2569. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2570. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2571. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2572. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2573. Deprecations:
  2574. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2575. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2576. New features:
  2577. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2578. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2579. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2580. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2581. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2582. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2583. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2584. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2585. (attic #295).
  2586. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2587. fixes #85
  2588. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2589. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2590. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2591. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2592. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2593. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2594. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2595. Bug fixes:
  2596. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2597. signed size_t), #116
  2598. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2599. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2600. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2601. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2602. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2603. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2604. fixes attic #326.
  2605. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2606. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2607. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2608. Other changes:
  2609. - improved docs:
  2610. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2611. "as is" into the html docs.
  2612. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2613. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2614. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2615. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2616. - updated AUTHORS
  2617. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2618. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2619. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2620. - added docs about development
  2621. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2622. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2623. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2624. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2625. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2626. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2627. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2628. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2629. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2630. - improved tox configuration
  2631. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2632. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2633. modern installs
  2634. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2635. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2636. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2637. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2638. New features:
  2639. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2640. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2641. attic #167)
  2642. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2643. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2644. Other changes:
  2645. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2646. - some easy micro optimizations
  2647. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2648. ---------------------------
  2649. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2650. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2651. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2652. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2653. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2654. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2655. Bug fixes:
  2656. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2657. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2658. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2659. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  2662. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  2663. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2664. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2665. always fails
  2666. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2667. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  2668. New features:
  2669. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  2670. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2671. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2672. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2673. - create -v output more informative
  2674. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2675. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
