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

  113. Version 1.1.5 (2018-04-01)
  114. --------------------------
  115. Compatibility notes:
  116. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  117. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  118. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  119. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  120. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  121. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  122. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  123. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  124. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  125. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  126. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  127. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  128. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  129. - 1.1.5 changes:
  130. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  131. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because
  132. the python package was renamed to msgpack and emitted some FutureWarning.
  133. Fixes:
  134. - create --list: fix that it was never showing M status, #3492
  135. - create: fix timing for first checkpoint (read files cache early, init
  136. checkpoint timer after that), see #3394

  142. also remove unneeded sort, #3545
  143. - fixed tab completion problem where a space is always added after path even
  144. when it shouldn't
  145. - build: do .h file content checks in binary mode, fixes build issue for
  146. non-ascii header files on pure-ascii locale platforms, #3544 #3639
  147. - borgfs: fix patterns/paths processing, #3551
  148. - config: add some validation, #3566
  149. - repository config: add validation for max_segment_size, #3592
  150. - set cache previous_location on load instead of save
  151. - remove platform.uname() call which caused library mismatch issues, #3732
  152. - add exception handler around deprecated platform.linux_distribution() call
  153. - use same datetime object for {now} and {utcnow}, #3548

  175. - link to offline documentation from README, #3502
  176. - add docs on how to verify a signed release with GPG, #3634
  177. - chunk seed is generated per repository (not: archive)
  178. - better formatting of CPU usage documentation, #3554

  187. - update to Python 3.5.5 (for binary builds)
  188. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  189. --------------------------
  190. Compatibility notes:
  191. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  192. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  193. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  194. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  195. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  196. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  197. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  198. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  199. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  200. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  201. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  202. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  203. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  204. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  205. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  206. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  207. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  208. be used:
  209. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  210. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  211. Fixes:
  212. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  213. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  214. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  215. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  216. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  217. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  218. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  219. New features:
  220. - added zstd compression. try it!
  221. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  222. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  223. Other changes:
  224. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  225. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  226. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  227. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  228. - updated fish/bash completions
  229. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  230. - docs:
  231. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  232. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  233. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  234. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  235. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  236. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  237. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  238. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  239. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  240. - blake2 was already bundled
  241. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  242. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  243. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  244. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  245. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  246. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  247. --------------------------
  248. Fixes:
  249. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  250. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  251. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  252. controls post-authentication.
  253. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  254. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  255. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  256. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  257. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  258. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  259. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  260. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  261. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  262. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  263. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  264. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  265. New features:
  266. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  267. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  268. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  269. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  270. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  271. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  272. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  273. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  274. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  275. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  276. Other changes:
  277. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  278. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  279. - docs:
  280. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  281. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  282. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  283. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  284. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  285. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  286. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  287. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  288. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  289. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  290. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  291. - update release checklist about security fixes
  292. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  293. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  294. bsdflags, #3239
  295. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  296. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  297. --------------------------
  298. Fixes:
  299. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  300. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  301. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  302. handling for stat() call, #3209
  303. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  304. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  305. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  306. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  307. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  308. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  309. New features:
  310. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  311. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  312. Other changes:
  313. - docs:
  314. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  315. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  316. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  317. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  318. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  319. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  320. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  321. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  322. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  323. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  324. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  325. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  326. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  327. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  328. --------------------------
  329. Compatibility notes:
  330. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  331. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  332. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  333. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  334. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  335. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  336. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  337. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  338. Fixes:
  339. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  340. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  341. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  342. these archives, see also #3157.
  343. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  344. slowness, #3130
  345. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  346. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  347. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  348. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  349. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  350. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  351. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  352. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  353. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  354. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  355. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  356. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  357. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  358. New features:
  359. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  360. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  361. Other changes:
  362. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  363. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  364. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  365. - docs:
  366. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  367. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  368. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  369. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  370. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  371. --------------------------
  372. Compatibility notes:
  373. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  374. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  375. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  376. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  377. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  378. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  379. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  380. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  381. Fixes:
  382. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  383. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  384. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  385. Other changes:
  386. - docs:
  387. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  388. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  389. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  390. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  391. -----------------------------
  392. Compatibility notes:
  393. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  394. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  395. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  396. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  397. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  398. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  399. New features:
  400. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  401. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  402. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  403. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  404. Fixes:
  405. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  406. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  407. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  408. Other changes:
  409. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  410. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  411. - vagrant:
  412. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  413. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  414. - docs:
  415. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  416. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  417. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  418. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  419. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  420. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  421. -----------------------------
  422. New features:
  423. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  424. Fixes:
  425. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  426. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  427. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  428. Other changes:
  429. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  430. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  431. - docs:
  432. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  433. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  434. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273
  435. - vagrant: clean up shell profile init, user name, #2977
  436. - test_detect_attic_repo: don't test mount, #2975
  437. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  438. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  439. -----------------------------
  440. Compatibility notes:
  441. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  442. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  443. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  444. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  445. and the default is now "mtime".
  446. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  447. New features:
  448. - None.
  449. Fixes:
  450. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  451. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  452. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  453. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  454. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  455. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  456. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  457. Other changes:
  458. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  459. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  460. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  461. - delete various nogil and threading related lines

  532. ----------------------------
  533. Compatibility notes:
  534. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  535. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  536. an append-only repository.
  537. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  538. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  539. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  540. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  541. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  542. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  543. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  544. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  545. not affect scripts.
  546. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  547. repositories they are.
  548. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  549. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  550. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  551. New features:
  552. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  553. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  554. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  555. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  556. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  557. - repository: index and hints files
  558. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  559. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  560. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  561. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  562. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  563. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  564. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  565. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  566. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  567. - borg export-tar, #2519
  568. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  569. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  570. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  571. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  572. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  573. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  574. Fixes:
  575. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  576. reporting, #2496
  577. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  578. error message when parsing fails.
  579. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  580. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  581. - FUSE:
  582. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  583. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  584. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  585. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  586. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  587. - use decrypted cache
  588. - remove unnecessary normpaths

  602. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  603. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  604. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  605. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  606. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  607. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests

  611. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  612. - restrict key file names, #2560

  888. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  889. ---------------------------
  890. Bug fixes:
  891. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  892. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  893. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  894. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  895. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  896. New features:
  897. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  898. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  899. ``--qr-html`` option.
  900. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  901. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  902. "key export" files and key files.
  903. Other changes:
  904. - docs:
  905. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  906. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  907. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  908. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  909. ----------------------------
  910. Compatibility notes:
  911. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  912. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.
  913. Bug fixes:
  914. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  915. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  916. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
  917. - borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
  918. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  919. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041
  920. New features:
  921. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  922. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  923. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  924. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  925. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  926. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  927. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  928. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663
  929. - borg mount --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1542
  930. - implement "health" item formatter key, #1749
  931. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  932. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  933. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  934. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  935. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  936. Other changes:
  937. - borg recreate:
  938. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  940. - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
  941. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  942. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  943. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  944. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  945. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  946. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  947. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  948. - improve metadata handling speed
  949. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  950. - improve / add progress displays, #1721
  951. - check for index vs. segment files object count mismatch
  952. - make RPC protocol more extensible: use named parameters.

  954. - clarify cache/repository README file
  955. - docs:
  956. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  957. - quickstart: only give one possible ssh url syntax, all others are
  958. documented in usage chapter.
  959. - mention file://
  960. - document repo URLs / archive location
  961. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  962. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  963. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  964. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  965. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  966. - tests:
  967. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  968. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  969. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  970. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  971. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  972. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  976. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  977. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  978. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  979. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  980. current file, #1993
  981. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  982. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  983. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  984. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  985. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  992. - mount: umount on SIGINT/^C when in foreground, #2082
  993. Other changes:
  994. - binary: use fixed AND freshly compiled pyinstaller bootloader, #2002
  995. - xattr: ignore empty names returned by llistxattr(2) et al
  996. - Enable the fault handler: install handlers for the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT,
  997. SIGBUS and SIGILL signals to dump the Python traceback.
  998. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  999. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)
  1000. - officially support Python 3.6 (setup.py: add Python 3.6 qualifier)

  1031. --------------------------
  1032. Security fixes:
  1033. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1034. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1035. take.
  1036. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1037. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1038. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing

  1067. files in next backup), #1860.
  1068. - borg check:
  1069. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1243. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1244. New features:
  1245. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1246. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1247. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1248. Other changes:
  1249. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1250. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1251. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1252. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1253. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1254. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1255. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1256. - docs:
  1257. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1258. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1259. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1260. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1261. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1262. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  1263. - vagrant / tests:
  1264. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  1265. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  1266. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1267. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1268. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1269. -----------------------------
  1270. Bug fixes:
  1271. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1272. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1273. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1274. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1275. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1276. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1277. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1278. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1279. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1280. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1281. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1282. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1283. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1284. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1285. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1286. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1287. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1288. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1289. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1290. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1291. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1292. #1684
  1293. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1294. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1295. New features:
  1296. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1297. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1298. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1299. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1300. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1301. soon as it is input.
  1302. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1303. #1352
  1304. Other changes:
  1305. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1306. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1307. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1308. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1309. dataflow direction.
  1310. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1311. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1312. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1313. #1572
  1314. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1315. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1316. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1317. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1318. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1319. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1320. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1321. - docs:
  1322. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1323. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1324. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1325. - add bestpractices badge
  1326. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561
  1327. - improve borg info --help, explain size infos, #1532
  1328. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  1329. - add contribution guidelines for developers
  1330. - development.rst: add sphinx_rtd_theme to the sphinx install command
  1331. - adjust border color in borg.css
  1332. - add debug-info usage help file
  1333. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1334. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1335. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1336. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1337. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1338. - tests:
  1339. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1340. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1341. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1342. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1343. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1344. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1345. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1346. --------------------------
  1347. Security fixes:
  1348. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1349. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1350. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1351. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1352. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1353. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1354. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1355. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1356. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1357. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1358. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1359. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1360. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1361. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1362. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1363. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1364. Bug fixes:
  1365. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1366. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1367. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1368. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1369. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1370. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1371. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1372. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1373. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1374. New features:
  1375. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1376. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1377. Other changes:
  1378. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1379. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1380. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1381. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1382. -----------------------------
  1383. Bug fixes:
  1384. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1385. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1386. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1387. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1388. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1389. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1390. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1391. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1392. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1393. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1394. these would never be cleaned up.
  1395. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1396. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1397. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1398. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1399. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1400. path being a integer FD
  1401. Other changes:
  1402. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1403. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1404. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1405. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1406. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1407. real problem.
  1408. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1409. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1410. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1411. - docs:
  1412. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1413. - improve prune examples
  1414. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1415. -----------------------------
  1416. Bug fixes:
  1417. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1418. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1419. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1420. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1421. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1422. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1423. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1424. to 20, #1338
  1425. - FUSE:
  1426. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1427. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1428. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1429. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1430. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1431. New features:
  1432. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1433. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1434. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1435. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1436. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1437. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1438. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1439. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1440. server), #1291.
  1441. Other changes:
  1442. - Vagrantfile:
  1443. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1444. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1445. - tests:
  1446. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1447. - docs:
  1448. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1449. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1450. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1451. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1452. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1453. - added platform feature matrix
  1454. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1455. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1456. --------------------------
  1457. Bug fixes:
  1458. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1459. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1460. Other changes:
  1461. - tests:
  1462. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1463. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1464. - docs:
  1465. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1466. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1467. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1468. -----------------------------
  1469. New features:
  1470. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1471. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1472. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1473. Bug fixes:
  1474. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1475. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1476. repository code.
  1477. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1478. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1479. #1295
  1480. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1481. used), #1302. (*)
  1482. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1483. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1484. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1485. Other changes:
  1486. - tests:
  1487. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1488. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1489. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1490. - docs:
  1491. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1492. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1493. Notes:
  1494. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1495. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1496. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1497. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1498. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1499. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1500. --------------------------
  1501. Bug fixes:
  1502. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1503. Other changes:
  1504. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1505. - add release helper scripts
  1506. - Vagrantfile:
  1507. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1508. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1509. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1510. --------------------------
  1511. New features:
  1512. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1513. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1514. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1515. practically usable.
  1516. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1517. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1518. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1519. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1520. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1521. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1522. Bug fixes:
  1523. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1524. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1525. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1526. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1527. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1528. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1529. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1530. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1531. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1532. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1533. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1534. error reporting.
  1535. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1536. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1537. sync the containing directory.
  1538. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1539. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1540. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1541. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1542. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1543. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1544. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1545. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1546. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1547. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1548. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1549. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1550. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1551. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1552. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1553. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1554. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1555. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1556. - borg delete:
  1557. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1558. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1559. - borg check:
  1560. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1561. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1562. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1563. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1564. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1565. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1566. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1567. - tests:
  1568. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1569. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1570. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1571. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1572. Other changes:
  1573. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1574. - docs / help:
  1575. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1576. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1577. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1578. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1579. - document sshd settings, #545
  1580. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1581. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1582. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1583. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1584. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1585. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1586. - update cygwin installation docs
  1587. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1588. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1589. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1590. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1591. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1592. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1593. - Vagrantfile:
  1594. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1595. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1596. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1597. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1598. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1599. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1600. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1601. --------------------------
  1602. Bug fixes:
  1603. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1604. a prune run), #997
  1605. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1606. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1607. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1608. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1609. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1610. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1611. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1612. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1613. space), #1063
  1614. Other changes:
  1615. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1616. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1617. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok

  1623. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1624. --------------------------
  1625. Bug fixes:
  1626. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1627. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1628. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1629. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1630. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1631. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1632. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1633. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1634. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1635. a overflow would have occurred.
  1636. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1637. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1638. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1639. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1640. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1641. Other changes:
  1642. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1643. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1644. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1645. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1646. - docs:
  1647. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1648. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1649. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1650. --------------------------
  1651. New features:
  1652. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1653. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1654. also:
  1655. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1656. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1657. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1658. possibly CIFS).
  1659. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1660. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1661. this on his own.
  1662. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1663. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1664. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1665. Bug fixes:
  1666. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1667. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1668. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1669. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1670. - fix build on illumos
  1671. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1672. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1673. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1674. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1675. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1676. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1677. instead, #791
  1678. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1679. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1680. #798
  1681. Other changes:
  1682. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1683. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1684. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1685. - docs:
  1686. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1687. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1688. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1689. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1690. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1691. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1692. --------------------------
  1693. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1694. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1695. check your backup logs.
  1696. Compatibility notes:
  1697. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1698. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1699. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1700. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1701. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1702. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1703. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1704. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1705. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1706. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1707. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1708. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1709. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1710. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1711. use --one-file-system instead
  1712. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1713. - -p now is same as --progress
  1714. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1715. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1716. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1717. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1718. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1719. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1720. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1721. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1722. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1723. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1724. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1725. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1726. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1727. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1728. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1729. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1730. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1731. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1732. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1733. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1734. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1735. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1736. usage).
  1737. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1738. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1739. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1740. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1741. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1742. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1743. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1744. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1745. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1746. New features:
  1747. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1748. Bug fixes:
  1749. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1750. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1751. Other changes:
  1752. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1753. - docs:
  1754. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1755. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  1756. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698

  1766. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1767. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1768. as borg info, #651
  1769. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1770. Other changes:
  1771. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1772. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1773. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1774. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1775. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1776. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1777. - docs:
  1778. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1779. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1780. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1781. - fix order in release process
  1782. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1794. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1795. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1796. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  1797. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  1798. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544

  1808. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  1809. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  1810. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1811. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  1812. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  1813. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  1814. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  1815. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code

  1829. - misc. updates and fixes
  1830. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1831. ---------------------------
  1832. Compatibility notes:
  1833. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1834. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1835. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1836. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1837. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1838. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1839. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1840. Bug fixes:
  1841. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  1851. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1852. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1853. New features:
  1854. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1855. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1856. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1857. - support different styles for patterns:
  1858. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1859. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1860. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1861. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1862. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1863. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1864. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1865. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1866. files or for borg check repo), #500
  1867. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1868. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1869. file list output
  1870. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1871. Other changes:
  1872. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1873. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1874. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1875. fixes #569
  1876. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1877. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1878. than debian7
  1879. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1880. - docs:
  1881. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  1882. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  1891. - rephrase the mailing list section
  1892. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  1893. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  1894. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  1895. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1896. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1897. ---------------------------
  1898. Compatibility notes:
  1899. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1900. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1901. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1902. option.
  1903. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1904. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1905. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1906. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1907. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1908. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1909. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1910. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1911. Bug fixes:
  1912. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1913. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1914. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1915. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1916. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1917. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1918. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1919. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1920. New features:
  1921. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1922. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1923. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1924. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1925. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1926. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1927. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1928. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1929. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1930. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1931. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1932. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1933. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1934. - more progress indicators, #394
  1935. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1936. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  1937. Other changes:
  1938. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  1939. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  1940. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239
  1941. - increase rpc protocol version to 2 (see also Compatibility notes), #458
  1942. - silence borg by default (via default log level WARNING)
  1943. - get rid of C compiler warnings, #391
  1944. - upgrade OS X FUSE to 3.0.9 on the OS X binary build system
  1945. - use python 3.5.1 to build binaries
  1946. - docs:
  1947. - new mailing list borgbackup@python.org, #468
  1948. - readthedocs: color and logo improvements
  1949. - load coverage icons over SSL (avoids mixed content)
  1950. - more precise binary installation steps
  1951. - update release procedure docs about OS X FUSE
  1952. - FAQ entry about unexpected 'A' status for unchanged file(s), #403
  1953. - add docs about 'E' file status
  1954. - add "borg upgrade" docs, #464
  1955. - add developer docs about output and logging
  1956. - clarify encryption, add note about client-side encryption
  1957. - add resources section, with videos, talks, presentations, #149
  1958. - Borg moved to Arch Linux [community]
  1959. - fix wrong installation instructions for archlinux
  1960. Version 0.28.2 (2015-11-15)
  1961. ---------------------------
  1962. New features:
  1963. - borg create --exclude-if-present TAGFILE - exclude directories that have the
  1964. given file from the backup. You can additionally give --keep-tag-files to
  1965. preserve just the directory roots and the tag-files (but not backup other
  1966. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  1967. Other changes:
  1968. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),
  1969. completely remove have_cython() hack, do not use the "mock" library at build
  1970. time, #384
  1971. - avoid hidden import, make it easier for PyInstaller, easier fix for #218
  1972. - docs:
  1973. - add description of item flags / status output, fixes #402

  2155. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2156. ---------------------------
  2157. Compatibility notes:
  2158. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2159. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2160. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2161. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2162. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2163. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2164. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2165. Deprecations:
  2166. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2167. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2168. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2169. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2170. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2171. (which is the default).
  2172. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2173. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2174. New features:
  2175. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2176. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2177. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2178. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2179. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2180. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2181. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2182. Bug fixes:
  2183. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2184. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2185. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2186. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2187. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2188. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2189. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2190. Other changes:
  2191. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2192. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2193. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2194. - more tests for archiver
  2195. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2196. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2197. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2198. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2199. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2200. - improved docs:
  2201. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2202. - update docs about compression
  2203. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2204. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2205. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2206. - theme: use a lighter green
  2207. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2208. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2209. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2210. ---------------------------
  2211. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2212. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2213. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2214. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2215. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2216. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2217. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2218. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2219. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2220. Deprecations:
  2221. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2222. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2223. New features:
  2224. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2225. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2226. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2227. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2228. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2229. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2230. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2231. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2232. (attic #295).
  2233. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2234. fixes #85
  2235. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2236. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2237. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2238. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2239. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2240. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2241. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2242. Bug fixes:
  2243. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2244. signed size_t), #116
  2245. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2246. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2247. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2248. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2249. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2250. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2251. fixes attic #326.
  2252. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2253. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2254. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2255. Other changes:
  2256. - improved docs:
  2257. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2258. "as is" into the html docs.
  2259. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2260. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2261. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2262. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2263. - updated AUTHORS

  2265. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2266. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2267. - added docs about development
  2268. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2269. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2270. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2271. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2272. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2273. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2274. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2275. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2276. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2277. - improved tox configuration
  2278. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2279. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2280. modern installs
  2281. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2282. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2283. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2284. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2285. New features:
  2286. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2287. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2288. attic #167)
  2289. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2290. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2291. Other changes:
  2292. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2293. - some easy micro optimizations
  2294. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2295. ---------------------------
  2296. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2297. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2298. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2299. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2300. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2301. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2302. Bug fixes:
  2303. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2304. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2305. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2306. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  2307. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282

  2310. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2311. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2312. always fails
  2313. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
