- Important notes
 
- ===============
 
- This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
 
- .. _hashindex_set_bug:
 
- Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
 
- -------------------------------------------------------
 
- A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829.
 
- The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.
 
- Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption did not
 
- happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions to happen.
 
- Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare (and
 
- also detectable via borg check).
 
- You might be affected if borg crashed with / complained about:
 
- - AssertionError: Corrupted segment reference count - corrupted index or hints
 
- - ObjectNotFound: Object with key ... not found in repository ...
 
- - Index mismatch for key b'...'. (..., ...) != (-1, -1)
 
- - ValueError: stats_against: key contained in self but not in master_index.
 
- Advised procedure to fix any related issue in your indexes/caches:
 
- - install fixed borg code (on client AND server)
 
- - for all of your clients and repos remove the cache by:
 
-   borg delete --cache-only YOURREPO
 
-   (later, the cache will be re-built automatically)
 
- - for all your repos, rebuild the repo index by:
 
-   borg check --repair YOURREPO
 
-   This will also check all archives and detect if there is any data-loss issue.
 
- Affected branches / releases:
 
- - fd06497 introduced the bug into 1.1-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.1.x since 1.1.0b4.
 
- - fd06497 introduced the bug into master branch - it affects all borg 1.2.0 alpha releases.
 
- - c5cd882 introduced the bug into 1.0-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.0.x since 1.0.11rc1.
 
- The bug was fixed by:
 
- - 701159a fixes the bug in 1.1-maint branch - will be released with borg 1.1.11.
 
- - fa63150 fixes the bug in master branch - will be released with borg 1.2.0a8.
 
- - 7bb90b6 fixes the bug in 1.0-maint branch. Branch is EOL, no new release is planned as of now.
 
- .. _broken_validator:
 
- Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
 
- -----------------------------------------
 
- A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
 
- This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
 
- To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
 
- of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
 
- Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
 
- though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
 
- If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
 
- even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
 
- When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
 
- chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
 
- malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
 
- item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
 
- Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
 
- discarded from the archive.
 
- Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
 
- complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
 
- If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
 
- borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
 
- The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
 
-     item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
 
- If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
 
- But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
 
- By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
 
- items are listed.
 
- .. _tam_vuln:
 
- Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
 
- ----------------------------------------------------------
 
- A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
 
- to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
 
- 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
 
- 2. gain write access to the repository
 
- This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
 
- affect the authenticity of existing archives.
 
- The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
 
- Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
 
- for large archives.
 
- The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
 
- with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
 
- for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
 
- Steps you should take:
 
- 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
 
- 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
 
- 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
 
- 4. Done.
 
- Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
 
- to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
 
- raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
 
- be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
 
- otherwise.
 
- In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
 
- was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
 
- 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
 
- This attack is mitigated by:
 
- - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
 
-   contain the archive IDs.
 
- We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
 
- Vulnerability time line:
 
- * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
 
- * 2016-11-20: First patch
 
- * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
 
- * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
 
- * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
 
- .. _attic013_check_corruption:
 
- Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
 
- -----------------------------
 
- If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
 
- (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
 
- archives. See issue #1837.
 
- The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
 
- always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
 
- If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
 
- with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
 
- items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
 
- Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
 
- -----------------------------------
 
- Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
 
- corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
 
- A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
 
- not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
 
- "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
 
- Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
 
- 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
 
- This could lead to corrupted segment files.
 
- Fix::
 
-     # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
 
-     borg check -v --repository-only REPO
 
-     # repair the repo:
 
-     borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
 
-     # make sure everything is fixed:
 
-     borg check -v --repository-only REPO
 
- 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
 
- This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
 
- Fix::
 
-     # check for corrupt archives:
 
-     borg check -v --archives-only REPO
 
-     # delete the corrupt archives:
 
-     borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
 
-     # make sure everything is fixed:
 
-     borg check -v --archives-only REPO
 
- 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
 
- The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
 
-     borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

- Change Log
 
- ==========
 
- Version 1.2.0 (not released yet)
 
- --------------------------------
 
- Please note:
 
- This is the first borg 1.2 release, so be careful and read the notes below.
 
- Upgrade notes:
 
- Strictly taken, nothing special is required for upgrading to 1.2, but some
 
- things can be recommended:
 
- - do you already want to upgrade? 1.1.x also will get fixes for a while.
 
- - be careful, first upgrade your less critical / smaller repos.
 
- - first upgrade to a recent 1.1.x release - especially if you run some older
 
-   1.1.* or even 1.0.* borg release.
 
- - using that, run at least one `borg create` (your normal backup), `prune`
 
-   and especially a `check` to see everything is in a good state.
 
- - check the output of `borg check` - if there is anything special, consider
 
-   a `borg check --repair` followed by another `borg check`.
 
- - if everything is fine so far (borg check reports no issues), you can consider
 
-   upgrading to 1.2.0. if not, please first fix any already existing issue.
 
- - if you want to play safer, first **create a backup of your borg repository**.
 
- - upgrade to latest borg 1.2.x release (you could use the fat binary from
 
-   github releases page)
 
- - run `borg compact --cleanup-commits` to clean up a ton of 17 bytes long files
 
-   in your repo caused by a borg 1.1 bug
 
- - run `borg check` again (now with borg 1.2.x) and check if there is anything
 
-   special.
 
- - check the compatibility notes (see below) and adapt your scripts, if needed.
 
- - if you run into any issues, please check the github issue tracker before
 
-   posting new issues there or elsewhere.
 
- If you follow this procedure, you can help avoiding that we get a lot of
 
- "borg 1.2" issue reports that are not really 1.2 issues, but existed before
 
- and maybe just were not noticed.
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - dropped support / testing for older Pythons, minimum requirement is 3.8.
 
-   In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.8, consider using our binary,
 
-   which does not need an external Python interpreter. Or continue using
 
-   borg 1.1.x, which is still supported.
 
- - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
 
- - mount: the default for --numeric-ids is False now (same as borg extract)
 
- - borg create --noatime is deprecated. Not storing atime is the default behaviour
 
-   now (use --atime if you want to store the atime).
 
- - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats.
 
-   Previously, "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
 
-   while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
 
-   The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
 
-   and the default is now "mtime".
 
-   "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
 
- - create/recreate --list: file status for all files used to get announced *AFTER*
 
-   the file (with borg < 1.2). Now, file status is announced *BEFORE* the file
 
-   contents are processed. If the file status changes later (e.g. due to an error
 
-   or a content change), the updated/final file status will be printed again.
 
- - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
 
-   - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
 
-   - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
 
-   - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
 
-   - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
 
-   - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
 
- - removed BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var.
 
-   to use borg you must implement one of these 2 scenarios:
 
-   - 1) the combination of FQDN and result of uuid.getnode() must be unique
 
-        and stable (this should be the case for almost everybody, except when
 
-        having duplicate FQDN *and* MAC address or all-zero MAC address)
 
-   - 2) if you are aware that 1) is not the case for you, you must set
 
-        BORG_HOST_ID env var to something unique.
 
- - exit with 128 + signal number, #5161.
 
-   if you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to update
 
-   them to check for >= 128.

-     the archive metadata stream.

- Version 1.2.0a2 and earlier (2019-02-24)
 
- ----------------------------------------
 
- New features:
 
- - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
 
-   compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
 
-   data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
 
-   Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
 
-   writing command.
 
-   Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
 
-   more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
 
-   more robustness.
 
-   See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
 
- - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
 
-   commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
 
-   Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
 
-   Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
 
- - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
 
- - add fixed blocksize chunker (see --chunker-params docs), #1086
 
- Fixes:
 
- - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265
 
- - use more FDs, avoid race conditions on active fs, #906, #908, #1038
 
- - add O_NOFOLLOW to base flags, #908
 
- - compact:
 
-   - require >10% freeable space in a segment, #2985
 
-   - repository compaction now automatically removes unneeded 17byte
 
-     commit-only segments, #2850
 
- - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
 
- Other changes:
 
- - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
 
-   segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947

-   - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
 
-   - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
 
-   - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
 
-   - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
 
-   - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
 
-   - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking
 
-   - multithreading preparations (not used yet):
 
-     - item.to_optr(), Item.from_optr()
 
-     - fix chunker holding the GIL during blocking I/O
 
-   - C code portability / basic MSC compatibility, #4147, #2677
 
- - testing:
 
-   - vagrant: new VMs for linux/bsd/darwin, most with OpenSSL 1.1 and py36
 
- Version 1.1.17 (2021-07-12)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
 
-   - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
 
-   - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
 
-   - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
 
-     You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
 
-     One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
 
-     about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
 
-   - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
 
-     completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
 
-     --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
 
-     You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
 
-     mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
 
-     See the --files-cache docs for details.
 
- - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
 
-   If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
 
-   BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
 
-   work around the WSL issue.
 
- - 1.1.14 changes return codes due to a bug fix:
 
-   In case you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to
 
-   update them to check for >= 128 (as documented since long).
 
- - 1.1.15 drops python 3.4 support, minimum requirement is 3.5 now.
 
- - 1.1.17 install_requires the "packaging" pypi package now.
 
- Fixes:
 
- - pyinstaller dir-mode: fix pyi detection / LIBPATH treatment, #5897
 
- - handle crash due to kill stale lock race, #5828
 
- - fix BORG_CACHE_DIR crashing borg if empty, #5216
 
- - create --dry-run: fix display of kept tagfile, #5834
 
- - fix missing parameter in "did not consistently fail" msg, #5822
 
- - missing / healed chunks: always tell chunk ID, #5704
 
- - benchmark: make sure cleanup happens even on exceptions, #5630
 
- New features:
 
- - implement BORG_SELFTEST env variable, #5871.
 
-   this can be used to accelerate borg startup a bit. not recommended for
 
-   normal usage, but borg mass hosters with a lot of borg invocations can
 
-   save some resources with this. on my laptop, this saved ~100ms cpu time
 
-   (sys+user) per borg command invocation.
 
- - implement BORG_LIBC env variable to give the libc filename, #5870.
 
-   you can use this if a borg does not find your libc.
 
- - check: add progress indicator for archive check.
 
- - allow --files-cache=size (not recommended, make sure you know what you do)
 
- Other changes:
 
- - Python 3.10 now officially supported!
 
-   we test on py310-dev on github CI since a while and now also on the vagrant
 
-   machines, so it should work ok.
 
- - github CI: test on py310 (again)
 
- - get rid of distutils, use packaging and setuptools.
 
-   distutils is deprecated and gives warnings on py 3.10.
 
- - setup.py: rename "clean" to "clean2" to avoid shadowing the "clean" command.
 
- - remove libc filename fallback for the BSDs (there is no "usual" name)
 
- - cleanup flake8 checks, fix some pep8 violations.
 
- - docs building: replace deprecated function ".add_stylesheet()" for Sphinx 4 compatibility
 
- - docs:
 
-   - add a hint on sleeping computer and ssh connections, #5301
 
-   - update the documentation on hacked backup client, #5480
 
-   - improve docs/FAQ about append-only remote repos, #5497
 
-   - complement the documentation for pattern files and exclude files, #5520
 
-   - "filename with spaces" example added to exclude file, #5236
 
-     note: no whitespace escaping needed, processed by borg.
 
-   - add info on renaming repositories, #5240
 
-   - clarify borg check --verify-data, #5808
 
-   - add notice about defective hardware to check documentation, #5753
 
-   - add paragraph added in #5855 to utility documentation source

-   - fix typos, backport of #5597
 
- - vagrant:
 
-   - add py3.7.11 for binary build, also add 3.10-dev.
 
-   - use latest Cython 0.29.23 for py310 compat fixes.
 
-   - more RAM for openindiana upgrade plan resolver, it just hangs (swaps?) if
 
-     there is too little RAM.
 
-   - fix install_pyenv to adapt to recent changes in pyenv (same as in master now).
 
-   - use generic/netbsd9 box, copied from master branch.
 
- Version 1.1.16 (2021-03-23)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Fixes:
 
- - setup.py: add special openssl prefix for Apple M1 compatibility
 
- - do not recurse into duplicate roots, #5603
 
- - remove empty shadowed_segments lists, #5275, #5614
 
- - fix libpython load error when borg fat binary / dir-based binary is invoked
 
-   via a symlink by upgrading pyinstaller to v4.2, #5688
 
- - config: accept non-int value (like 500M or 100G) for max_segment_size or
 
-   storage_quota, #5639.
 
-   please note: when setting a non-int value for this in a repo config,
 
-   using the repo will require borg >= 1.1.16.
 
- New features:
 
- - bundled msgpack: drop support for old buffer protocol to support Python 3.10
 
- - verbose files cache logging via --debug-topic=files_cache, #5659.
 
-   Use this if you suspect that borg does not detect unmodified files as expected.
 
- - create/extract: add --noxattrs and --noacls option, #3955.
 
-   when given with borg create, borg will not get xattrs / ACLs from input files
 
-   (and thus, it will not archive xattrs / ACLs). when given with borg extract,
 
-   borg will not read xattrs / ACLs from archive and will not set xattrs / ACLs
 
-   on extracted files.
 
- - diff: add --json-lines option, #3765
 
- - check: debug log segment filename
 
- - borg debug dump-hints
 
- Other changes:

-   - fix grammar in faq
 
-   - recomend running tests only on installed versions for setup
 
-   - add link back to git-installation
 
-   - remove /var/cache exclusion in example commands, #5625.
 
-     This is generally a poor idea and shouldn't be promoted through examples.
 
-   - add repology.org badge with current packaging status
 
-   - explain hash collision
 
-   - add unsafe workaround to use an old repo copy, #5722

- Compatibility notes:
 
- - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:

- Version 1.1.11 (2020-03-08)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
 
-   - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
 
-   - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
 
-   - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
 
-     You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
 
-     One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
 
-     about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
 
-   - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
 
-     completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
 
-     --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
 
-     You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
 
-     mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
 
-     See the --files-cache docs for details.
 
- - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
 
-   If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
 
-   BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
 
-   work around the WSL issue.
 
- Fixes:
 
- - fixed potential index corruption / data loss issue due to bug in hashindex_set, #4829.
 
-   Please read and follow the more detailed notes close to the top of this document.
 
- - upgrade bundled xxhash to 0.7.3, #4891.
 
-   0.7.2 is the minimum requirement for correct operations on ARMv6 in non-fixup
 
-   mode, where unaligned memory accesses cause bus errors.
 
-   0.7.3 adds some speedups and libxxhash 0.7.3 even has a pkg-config file now.
 
- - upgrade bundled lz4 to 1.9.2
 
- - upgrade bundled zstd to 1.4.4
 
- - fix crash when upgrading erroneous hints file, #4922

- Version 1.1.10 (2019-05-16)
 
- ---------------------------

- New features:
 
- - bundle latest supported msgpack-python release (0.5.6), remove msgpack-python
 
-   from setup.py install_requires - by default we use the bundled code now.
 
-   optionally, we still support using an external msgpack (see hints in

- --------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
 
-   - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
 
-   - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.

-     See the --files-cache docs for details.
 
- Fixes:
 
- - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903

-     will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
 
-     can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
 
- Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Fixes:
 
- - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
 
-   allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
 
-   A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
 
-   controls post-authentication.
 
-   Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
 
- - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
 
-   CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
 
-   error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
 
-   all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
 
- - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
 
-   files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
 
- - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
 
-   is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
 
-   in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
 
- - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
 
- - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
 
- New features:
 
- - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
 
-   Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
 
-   making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
 
-   speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
 
-   borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
 
-   paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
 
-   only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
 
-   new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
 
- - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
 
- - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
 
- Other changes:
 
- - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
 
-   .c/.h/.pyx files)
 
- - docs:
 
-   - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
 
-   - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
 
-   - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
 
-   - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
 
-   - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328

-   - update release checklist about security fixes
 
-   - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
 
-   - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
 
-     bsdflags, #3239
 
-   - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
 
- Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Fixes:
 
- - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
 
- - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
 
- - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
 
-   handling for stat() call, #3209
 
- - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
 
- - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
 
- - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
 
- - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
 
- - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
 
- - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
 
- New features:
 
- - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
 
- - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
 
- Other changes:
 
- - docs:
 
-   - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
 
-   - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
 
-   - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
 
-     because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
 
-   - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
 
-   - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
 
-   - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
 
-   - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
 
-   - improve docs about --stats, #3260
 
- - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
 
- Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
 
- - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
 
-   for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
 
- Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
 
-   but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
 
-   Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
 
- - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
 
-   default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
 
-   unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
 
-   If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
 
-   borg create --exclude-nodump ...
 
- - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
 
-   ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
 
-   speed up backup creation.
 
- Fixes:
 
- - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
 
-   annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
 
-   files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
 
-   these archives, see also #3157.
 
- - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
 
-   slowness, #3130
 
- - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
 
- - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
 
- - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
 
- - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
 
- - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
 
- - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
 
- - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
 
-   "authenticated-blake2", #3103
 
- - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
 
- - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
 
- - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
 
- - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
 
- - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
 
- New features:
 
- - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
 
- - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
 
- Other changes:
 
- - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
 
- - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
 
- - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
 
- - docs:
 
-   - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
 
-   - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
 
-   - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
 
-   - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
 
- Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
 
-   This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
 
-   working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
 
-   borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
 
-   where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
 
-   Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
 
-   Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
 
-   Bad:  borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
 
- Fixes:
 
- - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
 
- - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
 
-   otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
 
- Other changes:
 
- - docs:
 
-   - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
 
-   - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
 
-   - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
 
- Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
 
- - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
 
-   - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
 
-     detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
 
-   - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
 
-   - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
 
- New features:
 
- - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
 
-   You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
 
-   --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
 
-   (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
 
- Fixes:
 
- - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637

- Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
 
-   "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
 
-   while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
 
-   The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
 
-   and the default is now "mtime".
 
-   "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).

- Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
 
- ----------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
 
-   an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
 
-   an append-only repository.
 
- - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
 
-   are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
 
-   BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
 
-   Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
 
-   in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
 
-   allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
 
-   password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
 
-   Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
 
-   not affect scripts.
 
- - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
 
-   repositories they are.
 
- - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
 
- - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
 
- - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
 
- New features:
 
- - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
 
-   contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
 
- - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
 
-   a cache sync. #235 #2638
 
- - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
 
-   - repository: index and hints files
 
-   - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
 
- - improve cache sync speed, #1729
 
- - create: new --no-cache-sync option
 
- - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
 
- - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
 
-   and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487

-   - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
 
-   - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
 
- Fixes:
 
- - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
 
-   reporting, #2496

-   if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
 
- - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
 
-   to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and

- Other changes:
 
- - borg recreate:
 
-   - remove special-cased --dry-run

-     for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
 
- - tests:
 
-   - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
 
-   - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
 
-   - fix byte range error in test, #1740

-   - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment
 
- Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
 
- ----------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
 
-   on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is
 
-   normally fixed by running another borg create/delete/prune.
 
- - fix broken --progress for double-cell paths (e.g. CJK), #1624
 
- - borg recreate: also catch SIGHUP
 
- - FUSE:
 
-   - fix hardlinks in versions view, #1599

- - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
 
- - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
 
- - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
 
- - fix module names in api.rst
 
- - hashindex: bump api_version

- Version 1.0.11rc1 (2017-06-27)
 
- ------------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - performance: rebuild hashtable if we have too few empty buckets, #2246.
 
-   this fixes some sporadic, but severe performance breakdowns.
 
- - Archive: allocate zeros when needed, #2308
 
-   fixes huge memory usage of mount (8 MiB × number of archives)
 
- - IPv6 address support
 
-   also: Location: more informative exception when parsing fails
 
- - borg single-file binary: use pyinstaller v3.2.1, #2396
 
-   this fixes that the prelink cronjob on some distros kills the
 
-   borg binary by stripping away parts of it.
 
- - extract:
 
-   - warning for unextracted big extended attributes, #2258
 
-   - also create parent dir for device files, if needed.
 
-   - don't write to disk with --stdout, #2645
 
- - archive check: detect and fix missing all-zero replacement chunks, #2180
 
- - fix (de)compression exceptions, #2224 #2221
 
- - files cache: update inode number, #2226
 
- - borg rpc: use limited msgpack.Unpacker (security precaution), #2139
 
- - Manifest: use limited msgpack.Unpacker (security precaution), #2175
 
- - Location: accept //servername/share/path
 
- - fix ChunkIndex.__contains__ assertion  for big-endian archs (harmless)
 
- - create: handle BackupOSError on a per-path level in one spot
 
- - fix error msg, there is no --keep-last in borg 1.0.x, #2282

- - fuse / borg mount:
 
-   - fix st_blocks to be an integer (not float) value
 
-   - fix negative uid/gid crash (they could come into archives e.g. when
 
-     backing up external drives under cygwin), #2674
 
-   - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read

- - chunker: fix invalid use of types, don't do uint32_t >> 32
 
- - document follow_symlinks requirements, check libc, #2507
 
- New features:
 
- - added BORG_PASSCOMMAND environment variable, #2573
 
- - add minimal version of in repository mandatory feature flags, #2134
 
-   This should allow us to make sure older borg versions can be cleanly
 
-   prevented from doing operations that are no longer safe because of
 
-   repository format evolution. This allows more fine grained control than
 
-   just incrementing the manifest version. So for example a change that
 
-   still allows new archives to be created but would corrupt the repository
 
-   when an old version tries to delete an archive or check the repository
 
-   would add the new feature to the check and delete set but leave it out
 
-   of the write set.
 
- - borg delete --force --force to delete severely corrupted archives, #1975
 
- Other changes:
 
- - embrace y2038 issue to support 32bit platforms

-   - README: how to help the project
 
-   - note -v/--verbose requirement on affected options, #2542
 
-   - document borg init behaviour via append-only borg serve, #2440
 
-   - be clear about what buzhash is used for (chunking) and want it is not
 
-     used for (deduplication)- also say already in the readme that we use a
 
-     cryptohash for dedupe, so people don't worry, #2390
 
-   - add hint about chunker params to borg upgrade docs, #2421
 
-   - clarify borg upgrade docs, #2436

-     - enhance travis setuptools_scm situation
 
-     - install fakeroot for Linux
 
-   - add test for borg delete --force
 
-   - enable remote tests on cygwin (the cygwin issue that caused these tests
 
-     to break was fixed in cygwin at least since cygwin 2.8, maybe even since
 
-     2.7.0).
 
-   - remove skipping the noatime tests on GNU/Hurd, #2710
 
-   - fix borg import issue, add comment, #2718
 
-   - include attic.tar.gz when installing the package
 
-     also: add include_package_data=True
 
- Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
 
-   this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
 
-   or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
 
- - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
 
-   py.test >= 3.0, #2112
 
- New features:
 
- - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
 
-   a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
 
-   ``--qr-html`` option.
 
-   The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
 
-   which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
 
-   "key export" files and key files.
 
- Other changes:
 
- - docs:
 
-   - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
 
-     mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
 
- - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
 
- Version 1.0.10rc1 (2017-01-29)
 
- ------------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
 
-   This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
 
- - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
 
- - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
 
-   current file, #1993
 
- - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
 
-   :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
 
-   it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
 
- - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
 
- - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

- - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
 
-   SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
 
- - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
 
- - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)
 
- - officially support Python 3.6 (setup.py: add Python 3.6 qualifier)
 
- - tests:
 
-   - vagrant / travis / tox: add Python 3.6 based testing
 
-   - vagrant: fix openbsd repo, #2042
 
-   - vagrant: fix the freebsd64 machine, #2037 #2067
 
-   - vagrant: use python 3.5.3 to build binaries, #2078
 
-   - vagrant: use osxfuse 3.5.4 for tests / to build binaries
 
-     vagrant: improve darwin64 VM settings
 
-   - travis: fix osxfuse install (fixes OS X testing on Travis CI)
 
-   - travis: require succeeding OS X tests, #2028
 
-   - travis: use latest pythons for OS X based testing
 
-   - use pytest-xdist to parallelize testing

- - make LoggedIO.close_segment reentrant, avoid reentrance
 
- Version 1.0.9 (2016-12-20)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Security fixes:
 
- - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
 
-   to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
 
-   take.
 
-   CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
 
- - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
 
-   duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
 
-   an attacker to apparently replace archives.
 
-   CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - borg check:
 
-   - rebuild manifest if it's corrupted
 
-   - skip corrupted chunks during manifest rebuild

- - setup.py build_usage:
 
-   - fixed build_usage not processing all commands
 
-   - fixed build_usage not generating includes for debug commands
 
- Version 1.0.9rc1 (2016-11-27)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
 
-   used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
 
-   files in next backup), #1860.
 
- - borg check:
 
-   - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
 
-   - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is
 
-     *completely* empty, #1815.
 
- - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
 
- - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
 
- New features:
 
- - borg umount <mountpoint>
 
-   exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
 
-   which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
 
-   umount) to un-mount, #1855.
 
- - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
 
- Other changes:
 
- - docs:
 
-   - display README correctly on PyPI
 
-   - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, fixes #1825
 
-   - different pattern matching for --exclude, #1779

-   - fix links in standalone README (:ref: tags)
 
-   - add link to security contact in README
 
-   - add FAQ about security
 
-   - move fork differences to FAQ
 
-   - add more details about resource usage
 
- - tests: skip remote tests on cygwin, #1268
 
- - travis:
 
-   - allow OS X failures until the brew cask osxfuse issue is fixed
 
-   - caskroom osxfuse-beta gone, it's osxfuse now (3.5.3)
 
- - vagrant:
 
-   - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.3
 
-   - remove llfuse from tox.ini at a central place
 
-   - do not try to install llfuse on centos6

-   - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
 
-   - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
 
- Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
 
- New features:
 
- - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
 
-   {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
 
-   placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
 
- Other changes:
 
- - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
 
-   due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
 
-   (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
 
-   and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
 
-   require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
 
-   thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
 
-   changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
 
- - docs:
 
-   - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
 
-   - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
 
-   - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
 
-   - update usage.rst / api.rst
 
-   - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
 
-   - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
 
- - vagrant / tests:
 
-   - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
 
-   - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
 
-   - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
 
-   - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
 
- Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
 
-   Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
 
-   Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
 
- - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
 
- - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
 
-   also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
 
-   (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
 
- - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
 
-   Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
 
-   dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
 
- - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
 
- - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before repository
 
-   was opened. Add an error message for this.
 
- - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
 
-   (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
 
- - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
 
-   (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
 
- - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
 
- - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
 
- - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
 
- - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
 
-   #1684
 
- - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
 
-   on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
 
- New features:
 
- - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
 
-   to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
 
-   Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
 
-   special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
 
-   paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
 
-   soon as it is input.
 
- - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
 
-   #1352
 
- Other changes:
 
- - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
 
-   (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
 
- - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
 
- - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
 
-   dataflow direction.
 
- - improved messages / error reporting:
 
-   - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
 
-     appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
 
-     #1572

- Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Security fixes:
 
- - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
 
-   If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
 
-   slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
 
-   /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
 
-   working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
 
-   As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
 
-   the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
 
-   That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
 
-   does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
 
-   trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
 
-   path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
 
-   but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
 
-   If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
 
-   may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
 
-   that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
 
-   behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
 
-   a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
 
-   This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
 
- - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
 
- - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
 
- - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
 
- - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
 
-   - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
 
-   - fix repo not closed cleanly
 
- New features:
 
- - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
 
-   (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
 
- Other changes:
 
- - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
 
-   (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
 
- - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
 
- Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
 
-   borg will reject reading them, #1451.
 
-   Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
 
-   directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
 
-   e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
 
- - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
 
-   buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
 
- - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
 
- - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
 
-   Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
 
-   these would never be cleaned up.
 
- - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
 
-   - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
 
-     being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
 
-   - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
 
-   - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
 
-     path being a integer FD
 
- Other changes:
 
- - print active env var override by default, #1467
 
- - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
 
- - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
 
- - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
 
-   filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
 
-   real problem.
 
- - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
 
- - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
 
- - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
 
- - docs:
 
-   - document archive limitation, #1452
 
-   - improve prune examples
 
- Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
 
- - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
 
- - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
 
- - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
 
-   hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
 
-   - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
 
-   - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
 
-     to 20, #1338
 
- - FUSE:
 
-   - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
 
-   - always create a root dir, #1125
 
- - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
 
- - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
 
- - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
 
- New features:
 
- - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
 
-   wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
 
-   a specific server borg version), #1392:
 
-   - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
 
-   - add new placeholder {borgversion}
 
-   - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
 
- - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
 
-   more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
 
-   server), #1291.
 
- Other changes:
 
- - Vagrantfile:
 
-   - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
 
-   - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
 
- - tests:
 
-   - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
 
- - docs:
 
-   - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
 
-   - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
 
-   - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
 
-   - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
 
-   - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
 
-   - added platform feature matrix
 
- - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
 
- Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
 
- - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
 
- Other changes:
 
- - tests:
 
-   - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
 
-   - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
 
- - docs:
 
-   - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
 
-   - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
 
- Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
 
- -----------------------------
 
- New features:
 
- - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
 
-   the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
 
-   #148. (*) Also improved logging.
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
 
-   Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
 
-   repository code.
 
- - borg mount (FUSE):
 
-   - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
 
-     #1295
 
-   - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
 
-     used), #1302. (*)
 
- - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
 
- - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
 
- - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
 
- Other changes:
 
- - tests:
 
-   - add more FUSE tests, #1284
 
-   - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
 
-   - fix borg binary test issues, #862
 
- - docs:
 
-   - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
 
-   - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
 
- Notes:
 
- (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
 
- metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
 
- replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
 
- thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
 
- repair was done with an older borg version.
 
- Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
 
- Other changes:
 
- - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
 
- - add release helper scripts
 
- - Vagrantfile:
 
-   - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
 
-   - add xz for redhat-like dists
 
- Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
 
- --------------------------
 
- New features:
 
- - borg serve --append-only, #1168
 
-   This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
 
-   was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
 
-   practically usable.
 
- - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
 
-   This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
 
-   was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
 
- - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
 
-   In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
 
-   problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
 
-   This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
 
-   repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
 
-   were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
 
-   case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
 
-   transaction rollback to clean up).
 
-   Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
 
-   error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
 
- - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
 
-   Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
 
-   bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
 
-   error reporting.
 
- - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
 
- - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
 
-   sync the containing directory.
 
- - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
 
-   (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
 
- - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
 
-   If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
 
-   (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
 
-   the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
 
-   (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
 
- - fixes for --read-special mode:
 
-   - ignore known files cache, #1241
 
-   - fake regular file mode, #1214
 
-   - improve symlinks handling, #1215
 
- - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
 
- - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
 
- - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
 
- - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
 
- - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
 
- - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
 
- - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
 
- - borg delete:
 
-   - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
 
-   - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
 
- - borg check:
 
-   - make borg check work for empty repo
 
-   - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
 
-   - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
 
-   - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
 
-   - better validation of archive metadata dicts
 
- - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
 
-   This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
 
- - tests:
 
-   - fix sparse file test, #1170
 
-   - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
 
-   - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
 
-   - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
 
- Other changes:
 
- - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
 
- - docs / help:
 
-   - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
 
-   - fix "patterns" help formatting
 
-   - add missing docs / help about placeholders
 
-   - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
 
-   - document sshd settings, #545

-   - add prune visualization / example, #723
 
-   - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
 
-   - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
 
-   - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
 
-   - update cygwin installation docs
 
- - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
 
-   - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
 
-   - read v2 hints files, #1235
 
-   - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
 
- - tests: add tests for format_line
 
- - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
 
- - Vagrantfile:
 
-   - use openbsd 5.9, #716
 
-   - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
 
-   - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
 
-   - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
 
- - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
 
- - add .eggs to .gitignore
 
- Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
 
-   a prune run), #997
 
- - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
 
-   considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
 
- - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
 
- - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
 
- - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
 
-   files are located in borg's key files directory.
 
- - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
 
- - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
 
-   space), #1063
 
- Other changes:
 
- - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
 
- - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
 
- - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
 
- - docs / help:
 
-   - update readthedocs URLs, #991
 
-   - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
 
-   - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
 
-   - borg create help: document format tags, #894
 
- Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
 
- --------------------------
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
 
-   architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
 
-   cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
 
-   leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
 
-   note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
 
-   in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
 
- - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
 
-   values, switch from int32 to uint32.
 
- - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
 
-   a overflow would have occurred.
 
- - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
 
-   Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
 
- - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
 
-   filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
 
- - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
 
- Other changes:
 
- - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
 
-   computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
 
- - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*,  make the build reproducible.
 
- - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
 
- - docs:
 
-   - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
 
-   - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
 
- Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
 
- --------------------------
 
- New features:
 
- Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
 
- due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
 
- also:
 
- - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
 
- - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
 
-   even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
 
-   possibly CIFS).
 
- - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
 
-   it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
 
-   this on his own.
 
-   note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
 
-   work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
 
-   do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
 
- - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
 
- - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
 
- - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
 
- - fix build on illumos
 
- - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivatives)
 
- - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
 
- - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
 
- - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
 
- - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
 
- - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
 
-   instead, #791
 
- - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
 
- - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
 
-   #798
 
- Other changes:
 
- - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
 
- - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
 
- - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
 
- - docs:
 
-   - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
 
-   - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
 
-   - fix reproducible build of api docs
 
-   - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
 
-   - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
 
- Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
 
- --------------------------
 
- The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
 
- changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
 
- check your backup logs.
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
 
-   note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
 
-   needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
 
- - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
 
- - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
 
-   you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
 
- - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
 
-   use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
 
- - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
 
-   use --compression zlib,<number> instead
 
-   in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
 
- - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
 
-   use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
 
- - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
 
-   use --one-file-system instead
 
- - disambiguate -p option, #563:
 
-   - -p now is same as --progress
 
-   - -P now is same as --prefix
 
- - remove deprecated "borg verify",
 
-   use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
 
- - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
 
-   the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
 
-   conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
 
-   value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
 
-   See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
 
- - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
 
-   --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
 
-   one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
 
-   default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
 
-   also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
 
-   please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
 
-   have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
 
-   small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
 
-   changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
 
-   not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
 
-   in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
 
-   for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
 
-   continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
 
-   until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
 
-   usage).
 
-   if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
 
-   --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
 
-   chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
 
-   explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
 
- - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
 
-   start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
 
-   creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
 
-   if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
 
-   needs to mean archive creation start time.

- Other changes:
 
- - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically

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

- - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
 
- New features:
 
- - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
 
- - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
 
- - borg extract: support patterns, #361
 
- - support different styles for patterns:
 
-   - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
 
-   - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
 
-     `**/` matching 0..n directories
 
-   - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
 
-     patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
 
-   - regular expression (`re:`), new!
 
- - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
 
- - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
 
-   files or for borg check repo), #500

-   file list output
 
- - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
 
- Other changes:
 
- - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
 
-   grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
 
- - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
 
-   fixes #569
 
- - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
 
-   also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
 
-   than debian7
 
- - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
 
- - docs:
 
-   - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
 
-   - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!
 
-   - sphinx configuration: create a simple man page from usage docs
 
-   - add a repo server setup example
 
-   - disable unneeded SSH features in authorized_keys examples for security.

- Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Compatibility notes:
 
- - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
 
-   installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
 
-   you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
 
-   option.
 
-   if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
 
-   suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
 
-   clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
 
- - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
 
-   better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
 
-   currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
 
-   if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
 
-   --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
 
-   size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
 
- - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285

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

-   compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
 
-   repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
 
-   default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
 
-   that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
 
-   archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels  0..9).
 
- Deprecations:
 
- - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
 
-   We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
 
-   deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
 
-   --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
 
-   BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
 
-   (which is the default).
 
-   --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
 
-   --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
 
- New features:
 
- - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
 
-   data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
 
- - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
 
- - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
 
- - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
 
- - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
 
- - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
 
- - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
 
- - close files which fell out the lrucache
 
- - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
 
-   the whole file, fixes #158.
 
- - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
 
- - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
 
- Other changes:
 
- - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
 
-   (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
 
-   without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
 
- - more tests for archiver
 
- - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
 
- - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
 
- - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
 
- - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
 
- - travis CI: use requirements file
 
- - improved docs:
 
-   - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
 
-   - update docs about compression
 
-   - update development docs about fakeroot
 
-   - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
 
-   - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
 
-   - theme: use a lighter green
 
-   - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
 
-   - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
 
- Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
 
- ---------------------------
 
- Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
 
- - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
 
-   on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
 
-   for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
 
-   server and client(s) to 0.24.
 
- - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
 
-   be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
 
-   you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
 
-   created by borg (e.g. the repository).
 
- Deprecations:
 
- - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
 
-   See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
 
- New features:
 
- - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
 
-   (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
 
-   This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
 
-   so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
 
-   if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
 
-   See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
 
- - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
 
- - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
 
-   (attic #295).
 
- - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
 
-   fixes #85
 
- - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
 
- - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
 
- - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
 
- - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
 
- - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
 
- - cache sync: show progress indication
 
- - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
 
-   signed size_t), #116
 
- - fix the repair mode, #144
 
- - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
 
- - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
 
-   (attic #317, attic #201).
 
- - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
 
- - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
 
-   fixes attic #326.
 
- - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
 
- - clarify help text, fixes #73.
 
- - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
 
- Other changes:
 
- - improved docs:
 
-   - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
 
-     "as is" into the html docs.
 
-   - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
 
-   - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
 
-   - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
 
-   - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
 
-   - updated AUTHORS
 
-   - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
 
-   - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
 
-   - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
 
-   - added docs about development
 
-   - add some words about resource usage in general
 
-   - document how to backup a raw disk
 
-   - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
 
-   - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
 
-   - document what borg check does, fixes #138
 
-   - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
 
-   - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
 
- - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
 
- - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
 
- - improved tox configuration
 
- - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
 
- - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
 
-   modern installs
 
- - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
 
- - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
 
- - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
 
- I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
 
- New features:
 
- - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
 
-   repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
 
-   attic #167)
 
- - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
 
- - hashindex: improve error messages
 
- Other changes:
 
- - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
 
- - some easy micro optimizations
 
- Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)

-   changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
 
-   accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
 
- Bug fixes:
 
- - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
 
- - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
