  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

  111. Changelog
  112. =========
  113. Version 1.2.0a5 (2019-03-21)
  114. ----------------------------
  115. Please note:
  116. This is code released for alpha testing (== helping us find bugs).
  117. It is not suitable to run against your production backup repositories!
  118. So, if you want to help testing, please run this code additionally to your
  119. normal backup and use a separate, fresh repository for it.
  120. See there for feedback: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4360
  121. Compatibility notes:
  122. - dropped support / testing for Python 3.4, minimum requirement is 3.5.
  123. In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.5, consider using our binary,
  124. which does not need an external Python interpreter.
  125. Maybe this requirement will be raised to Python 3.6 later.
  126. - freeing repository space only happens when "borg compact" is invoked.
  127. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  128. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  129. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  130. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  131. and the default is now "mtime".
  132. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  133. - removed deprecated-since-long stuff (deprecated since):
  134. - command "borg change-passphrase" (2017-02), use "borg key ..."
  135. - option "--keep-tag-files" (2017-01), use "--keep-exclude-tags"
  136. - option "--list-format" (2017-10), use "--format"
  137. - option "--ignore-inode" (2017-09), use "--files-cache" w/o "inode"
  138. - option "--no-files-cache" (2017-09), use "--files-cache=disabled"
  139. - removed BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var.
  140. to use borg you must implement one of these 2 scenarios:
  141. - 1) the combination of FQDN and result of uuid.getnode() must be unique
  142. and stable (this should be the case for almost everybody, except when
  143. having duplicate FQDN *and* MAC address or all-zero MAC address)
  144. - 2) if you are aware that 1) is not the case for you, you must set
  145. BORG_HOST_ID env var to something unique.
  146. Fixes:
  147. - warn if a file has changed while being backed up, #1750
  148. - lrucache: regularly remove old FDs, #4427
  149. - borg command shall terminate with rc 2 for ImportErrors, #4424
  150. - make freebsd xattr platform code api compatible with linux, #3952
  151. Other changes:
  152. - major setup code refactoring (especially how libraries like openssl, liblz4,
  153. libzstd, libb2 are discovered and how it falls back to code bundled with
  154. borg), new: uses pkg-config now (and needs python "pkgconfig" package
  155. installed), #1925
  156. if you are a borg package maintainer, please try packaging this
  157. (see comments in setup.py).
  158. - Vagrantfile: add zstd, reorder, build env vars, #4444
  159. - travis: install script improvements
  160. - update shell completions
  161. - docs:

  166. ----------------------------
  167. Fixes:
  168. - do not use O_NONBLOCK for special files, like FIFOs, block and char devices
  169. when using --read-special. fixes backing up FIFOs. fixes to test. #4394
  170. - more LibreSSL build fixes: LibreSSL has HMAC_CTX_free and HMAC_CTX_new
  171. New features:
  172. - check: incremental repo check (only checks crc32 for segment entries), #1657
  173. borg check --repository-only --max-duration SECONDS ...
  174. - delete: timestamp for borg delete --info added, #4359
  175. Other changes:
  176. - redo stale lock handling, #3986
  177. drop BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE (please use BORG_HOST_ID if needed).
  178. borg now always assumes it has a unique host id - either automatically
  179. from fqdn plus uuid.getnode() or overridden via BORG_HOST_ID.
  180. - docs:
  181. - added Alpine Linux to distribution list
  182. - elaborate on append-only mode docs
  183. - vagrant:
  184. - darwin: new 10.12 box

  187. - misc. updates / fixes
  188. Version 1.2.0a3 (2019-02-26)
  189. ----------------------------
  190. Fixes:
  191. - LibreSSL build fixes, #4403
  192. - dummy ACL/xattr code fixes (used by OpenBSD and others), #4403
  193. - create: fix openat/statat issues for root directory, #4405
  194. Version 1.2.0a2 and earlier (2019-02-24)
  195. ----------------------------------------
  196. New features:
  197. - compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
  198. compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
  199. data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
  200. Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
  201. writing command.
  202. Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
  203. more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
  204. more robustness.
  205. See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
  206. - "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
  207. commit-only segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
  208. Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
  209. Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
  210. - prune: Show which rule was applied to keep archive, #2886
  211. - add fixed blocksize chunker (see --chunker-params docs), #1086
  212. Fixes:
  213. - avoid stale filehandle issues, #3265
  214. - use more FDs, avoid race conditions on active fs, #906, #908, #1038
  215. - add O_NOFOLLOW to base flags, #908
  216. - compact:
  217. - require >10% freeable space in a segment, #2985

  219. commit-only segments, #2850
  220. - make swidth available on all posix platforms, #2667
  221. Other changes:
  222. - repository: better speed and less stuff moving around by using separate
  223. segment files for manifest DELETEs and PUTs, #3947
  224. - use pyinstaller v3.3.1 to build binaries
  225. - update bundled zstd code to 1.3.8, #4210
  226. - update bundled lz4 code to 1.8.3, #4209
  227. - msgpack:
  228. - switch to recent "msgpack" pypi pkg name, #3890
  229. - wrap msgpack to avoid future compat complications, #3632, #2738
  230. - support msgpack 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, #4220, #4308
  231. - llfuse: modernize / simplify llfuse version requirements
  232. - code refactorings / internal improvements:
  233. - include size/csize/nfiles[_parts] stats into archive, #3241
  234. - calc_stats: use archive stats metadata, if available
  235. - crypto: refactored crypto to use an AEAD style API
  236. - crypto: new AES-OCB, CHACHA20-POLY1305
  237. - create: use less syscalls by not using a python file obj, #906, #3962
  238. - diff: refactor the diff functionality to new ItemDiff class, #2475
  239. - archive: create FilesystemObjectProcessors class
  240. - helpers: make a package, split into smaller modules
  241. - xattrs: move to platform package, use cython instead ctypes, #2495
  242. - xattrs/acls/bsdflags: misc. code/api optimizations
  243. - FUSE: separate creation of filesystem from implementation of llfuse funcs, #3042
  244. - FUSE: use unpacker.tell() instead of deprecated write_bytes, #3899
  245. - setup.py: move build_man / build_usage code to setup_docs.py
  246. - setup.py: update to use a newer Cython/setuptools API for compiling .pyx -> .c, #3788
  247. - use python 3.5's os.scandir / os.set_blocking
  248. - multithreading preparations (not used yet):
  249. - item.to_optr(), Item.from_optr()
  250. - fix chunker holding the GIL during blocking I/O
  251. - C code portability / basic MSC compatibility, #4147, #2677
  252. - testing:
  253. - vagrant: new VMs for linux/bsd/darwin, most with OpenSSL 1.1 and py36
  254. Version 1.1.9 (2019-02-10)
  255. --------------------------
  256. Compatibility notes:
  257. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  258. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  259. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  260. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  261. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  262. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  263. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  264. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  265. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  266. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  267. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  268. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  269. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  270. Fixes:
  271. - security fix: configure FUSE with "default_permissions", #3903
  272. "default_permissions" is now enforced by borg by default to let the
  273. kernel check uid/gid/mode based permissions.
  274. "ignore_permissions" can be given to not enforce "default_permissions".
  275. - make "hostname" short, even on misconfigured systems, #4262
  276. - fix free space calculation on macOS (and others?), #4289
  277. - config: quit with error message when no key is provided, #4223
  278. - recover_segment: handle too small segment files correctly, #4272
  279. - correctly release memoryview, #4243
  280. - avoid diaper pattern in configparser by opening files, #4263
  281. - add "# cython: language_level=3" directive to .pyx files, #4214
  282. - info: consider part files for "This archive" stats, #3522
  283. - work around Microsoft WSL issue #645 (sync_file_range), #1961

  313. - list repo: add placeholders for hostname and username, #4130
  314. - on linux, symlinks can't have ACLs, so don't try to set any, #4044
  315. New features:
  316. - create: added PATH::archive output on INFO log level
  317. - read a passphrase from a file descriptor specified in the
  318. BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD environment variable.
  319. Other:
  320. - docs:
  321. - option --format is required for some expensive-to-compute values for json
  322. borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
  323. they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
  324. in standard mode as well as in --json mode.
  325. - tell that our binaries are x86/x64 amd/intel, bauerj has ARM

  334. - support pytest4, #4172
  335. - vagrant:
  336. - use python 3.5.6 for builds
  337. Version 1.1.7 (2018-08-11)

  416. Compatibility notes:
  417. - 1.1.5 changes:
  418. - require msgpack-python >= 0.4.6 and < 0.5.0.
  419. 0.5.0+ dropped python 3.4 testing and also caused some other issues because

  476. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  477. --------------------------
  478. Compatibility notes:
  479. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  480. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  481. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  482. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  483. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  484. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  485. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  486. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  487. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  488. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  489. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  490. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  491. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  492. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  493. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  494. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  495. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  496. be used:
  497. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  498. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  499. Fixes:
  500. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  501. See the more detailled notes close to the top of this document.
  502. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  503. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  504. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  505. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  506. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  507. New features:
  508. - added zstd compression. try it!
  509. - added placeholder {reverse-fqdn} for fqdn in reverse notation
  510. - added BORG_BASE_DIR environment variable, #3338
  511. Other changes:
  512. - list help topics when invalid topic is requested
  513. - fix lz4 deprecation warning, requires lz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)
  514. - add parens for C preprocessor macro argument usages (did not cause malfunction)
  515. - exclude broken pytest 3.3.0 release
  516. - updated fish/bash completions
  517. - init: more clear exception messages for borg create, #3465
  518. - docs:
  519. - add auto-generated docs for borg config
  520. - don't generate HTML docs page for borgfs, #3404
  521. - docs update for lz4 b2 zstd changes
  522. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  523. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  524. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  525. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  526. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  527. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  528. - blake2 was already bundled
  529. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  530. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  531. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  532. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  533. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  534. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  535. --------------------------
  536. Fixes:
  537. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  538. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  539. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  540. controls post-authentication.
  541. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  542. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  543. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  544. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  545. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  546. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  547. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  548. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  549. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  550. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  551. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  552. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  553. New features:
  554. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  555. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  556. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  557. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  558. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  559. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  560. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  561. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  562. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  563. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  564. Other changes:
  565. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  566. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  567. - docs:
  568. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  569. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  570. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  571. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  572. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  573. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  574. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  575. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  576. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  577. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  578. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  579. - update release checklist about security fixes
  580. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  581. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  582. bsdflags, #3239
  583. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  584. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  585. --------------------------
  586. Fixes:
  587. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  588. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  589. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  590. handling for stat() call, #3209
  591. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  592. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  593. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  594. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  595. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  596. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  597. New features:
  598. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  599. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  600. Other changes:
  601. - docs:
  602. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  603. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  604. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  605. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  606. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  607. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  608. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  609. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  610. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  611. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  612. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  613. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  614. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  615. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  616. --------------------------
  617. Compatibility notes:
  618. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  619. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  620. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  621. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  622. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  623. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  624. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  625. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  626. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  627. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  628. speed up backup creation.
  629. Fixes:
  630. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  631. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  632. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  633. these archives, see also #3157.
  634. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  635. slowness, #3130
  636. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  637. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  638. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  639. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  640. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  641. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  642. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  643. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  644. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  645. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  646. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  647. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  648. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  649. New features:
  650. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  651. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  652. Other changes:
  653. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  654. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  655. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  656. - docs:
  657. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  658. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  659. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  660. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  661. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  662. --------------------------
  663. Compatibility notes:
  664. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  665. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  666. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  667. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  668. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  669. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  670. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  671. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  672. Fixes:
  673. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  674. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  675. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  676. Other changes:
  677. - docs:
  678. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  679. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  680. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  681. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  682. -----------------------------
  683. Compatibility notes:
  684. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  685. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  686. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  687. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  688. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  689. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  690. New features:
  691. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  692. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  693. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  694. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  695. Fixes:
  696. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  697. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  698. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  699. Other changes:
  700. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033
  701. - exclude broken Cython 0.27(.0) in requirements, #3066
  702. - vagrant:
  703. - upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.7.1
  704. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  705. - docs:
  706. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  707. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  708. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  709. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  710. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  711. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  712. -----------------------------
  713. New features:
  714. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958
  715. Fixes:
  716. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  717. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  718. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  719. Other changes:
  720. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess
  721. - keymanager: don't depend on optional readline module, #2976
  722. - docs:
  723. - fix macOS keychain integration command
  724. - show/link new screencasts in README, #2936
  725. - document utf-8 locale requirement for json mode, #2273

  728. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  729. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  730. -----------------------------
  731. Compatibility notes:
  732. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  733. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  734. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  735. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  736. and the default is now "mtime".
  737. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  738. New features:
  739. - None.
  740. Fixes:
  741. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  742. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  743. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  744. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used
  745. - fix exitcode of borg serve, #2910
  746. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  747. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  748. Other changes:
  749. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  750. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  751. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  752. - delete various nogil and threading related lines
  753. - coala / pylint related improvements
  754. - docs:
  755. - renew asciinema/screencasts, #669
  756. - create: document exclusion through nodump, #2949
  757. - minor formatting fixes
  758. - tar: tarpipe example
  759. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  760. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  761. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  762. - vagrant:
  763. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  764. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH
  765. - add exe location to PATH when we build an exe
  766. Version 1.1.0rc1 (2017-07-24)
  767. -----------------------------
  768. Compatibility notes:
  769. - delete: removed short option for --cache-only
  770. New features:
  771. - support borg list repo --format {comment} {bcomment} {end}, #2081
  772. - key import: allow reading from stdin, #2760
  773. Fixes:
  774. - with-lock: avoid creating segment files that might be overwritten later, #1867

  822. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  823. ----------------------------
  824. Compatibility notes:
  825. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  826. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  827. an append-only repository.
  828. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  829. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  830. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  831. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  832. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  833. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  834. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  835. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  836. not affect scripts.
  837. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  838. repositories they are.
  839. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  840. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  841. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  842. New features:
  843. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  844. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  845. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  846. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  847. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  848. - repository: index and hints files
  849. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  850. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  851. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  852. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  853. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  854. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  855. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  856. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589

  862. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  863. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  864. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  865. Fixes:
  866. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  867. reporting, #2496
  868. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  869. error message when parsing fails.
  870. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  871. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  872. - FUSE:
  873. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  874. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache

  1179. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  1180. ---------------------------
  1181. Bug fixes:
  1182. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  1183. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards
  1184. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  1185. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  1186. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  1187. New features:
  1188. - "key export" can now generate a printable HTML page with both a QR code and
  1189. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  1190. ``--qr-html`` option.
  1191. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  1192. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  1193. "key export" files and key files.
  1194. Other changes:
  1195. - docs:
  1196. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  1197. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  1198. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  1199. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  1200. ----------------------------
  1201. Compatibility notes:
  1202. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  1203. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.
  1204. Bug fixes:
  1205. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  1206. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  1207. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821

  1209. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  1210. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041

  1212. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  1213. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  1214. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  1215. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  1216. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  1217. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  1218. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  1219. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663

  1222. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  1223. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  1224. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  1225. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  1226. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  1227. Other changes:
  1228. - borg recreate:
  1229. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  1233. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  1234. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  1235. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  1236. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  1237. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  1238. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  1239. - improve metadata handling speed
  1240. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  1241. - improve / add progress displays, #1721

  1249. documented in usage chapter.
  1250. - mention file://
  1251. - document repo URLs / archive location
  1252. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  1253. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  1254. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  1255. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  1256. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  1257. - tests:
  1258. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  1259. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  1260. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  1261. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  1262. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  1263. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  1267. - borg serve: fix transmission data loss of pipe writes, #1268
  1268. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  1269. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  1270. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  1271. current file, #1993
  1272. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  1273. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  1274. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  1275. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  1276. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  1324. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1325. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  1326. take.
  1327. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1328. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1329. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing

  1355. Bug fixes:
  1356. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  1357. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  1358. files in next backup), #1860.
  1359. - borg check:
  1360. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  1415. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  1416. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  1417. - currently used for borg list/info/delete

  1538. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1539. Other changes:
  1540. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1541. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1542. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1543. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1544. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1545. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1546. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  1547. - docs:
  1548. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  1549. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  1550. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  1551. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  1552. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  1553. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems

  1558. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1559. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1560. -----------------------------
  1561. Bug fixes:
  1562. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1563. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1564. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1565. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1566. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1567. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1568. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1569. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1570. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1571. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1572. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1573. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  1574. was openend. add an error message for this.
  1575. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1576. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1577. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1578. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1579. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1580. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1581. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1582. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1583. #1684
  1584. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1585. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1586. New features:
  1587. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1588. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1589. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1590. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1591. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1592. soon as it is input.
  1593. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1594. #1352
  1595. Other changes:
  1596. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1597. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1598. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1599. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1600. dataflow direction.
  1601. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1602. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1603. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1604. #1572
  1605. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1606. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1607. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1608. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1609. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1610. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  1611. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  1612. - docs:
  1613. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  1614. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  1615. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  1616. - add bestpractices badge
  1617. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561
  1618. - improve borg info --help, explain size infos, #1532
  1619. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  1620. - add contribution guidelines for developers
  1621. - development.rst: add sphinx_rtd_theme to the sphinx install command
  1622. - adjust border color in borg.css
  1623. - add debug-info usage help file
  1624. - internals.rst: fix typos
  1625. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  1626. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  1627. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  1628. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  1629. - tests:
  1630. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  1631. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  1632. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  1633. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  1634. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  1635. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  1636. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  1637. --------------------------
  1638. Security fixes:
  1639. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  1640. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  1641. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  1642. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  1643. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1644. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  1645. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  1646. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  1647. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  1648. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  1649. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  1650. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  1651. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  1652. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  1653. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  1654. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  1655. Bug fixes:
  1656. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  1657. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  1658. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  1659. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  1660. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  1661. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  1662. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  1663. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  1664. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  1665. New features:
  1666. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  1667. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  1668. Other changes:
  1669. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  1670. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  1671. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  1672. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  1673. -----------------------------
  1674. Bug fixes:
  1675. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  1676. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  1677. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  1678. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  1679. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  1680. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  1681. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  1682. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  1683. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  1684. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  1685. these would never be cleaned up.
  1686. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  1687. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  1688. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  1689. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  1690. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  1691. path being a integer FD
  1692. Other changes:
  1693. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  1694. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  1695. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  1696. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  1697. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  1698. real problem.
  1699. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  1700. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  1701. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  1702. - docs:
  1703. - document archive limitation, #1452
  1704. - improve prune examples
  1705. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  1706. -----------------------------
  1707. Bug fixes:
  1708. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  1709. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  1710. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  1711. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  1712. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  1713. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  1714. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  1715. to 20, #1338
  1716. - FUSE:
  1717. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  1718. - always create a root dir, #1125
  1719. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  1720. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  1721. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  1722. New features:
  1723. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  1724. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  1725. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  1726. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  1727. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  1728. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  1729. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  1730. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  1731. server), #1291.
  1732. Other changes:
  1733. - Vagrantfile:
  1734. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1735. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1736. - tests:
  1737. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1738. - docs:
  1739. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1740. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1741. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1742. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1743. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1744. - added platform feature matrix
  1745. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1746. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1747. --------------------------
  1748. Bug fixes:
  1749. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1750. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1751. Other changes:
  1752. - tests:
  1753. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1754. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1755. - docs:
  1756. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1757. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1758. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1759. -----------------------------
  1760. New features:
  1761. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1762. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1763. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1764. Bug fixes:
  1765. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1766. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1767. repository code.
  1768. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1769. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1770. #1295
  1771. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1772. used), #1302. (*)
  1773. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1774. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1775. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1776. Other changes:
  1777. - tests:
  1778. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1779. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1780. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1781. - docs:
  1782. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1783. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1784. Notes:
  1785. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1786. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1787. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1788. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1789. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1790. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1791. --------------------------
  1792. Bug fixes:
  1793. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1794. Other changes:
  1795. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1796. - add release helper scripts
  1797. - Vagrantfile:
  1798. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1799. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1800. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1801. --------------------------
  1802. New features:
  1803. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1804. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1805. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1806. practically usable.
  1807. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1808. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1809. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1810. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1811. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1812. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1813. Bug fixes:
  1814. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1815. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1816. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1817. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1818. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1819. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1820. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1821. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1822. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1823. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1824. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1825. error reporting.
  1826. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1827. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1828. sync the containing directory.
  1829. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1830. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1831. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1832. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1833. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1834. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1835. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1836. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1837. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1838. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1839. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1840. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1841. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1842. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1843. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1844. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1845. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1846. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1847. - borg delete:
  1848. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1849. - borg delete --forced allows one to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1850. - borg check:
  1851. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1852. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1853. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1854. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1855. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1856. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1857. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1858. - tests:
  1859. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1860. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1861. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1862. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1863. Other changes:
  1864. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1865. - docs / help:
  1866. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1867. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1868. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1869. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1870. - document sshd settings, #545
  1871. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1872. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1873. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1874. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1875. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1876. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1877. - update cygwin installation docs
  1878. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1879. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1880. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1881. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1882. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1883. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1884. - Vagrantfile:
  1885. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1886. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1887. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1888. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1889. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1890. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1891. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1892. --------------------------
  1893. Bug fixes:
  1894. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1895. a prune run), #997
  1896. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1897. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1898. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1899. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1900. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1901. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1902. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1903. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1904. space), #1063
  1905. Other changes:
  1906. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1907. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1908. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1909. - docs / help:
  1910. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1911. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992

  1914. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1915. --------------------------
  1916. Bug fixes:
  1917. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1918. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1919. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1920. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1921. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1922. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1923. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1924. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1925. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1926. a overflow would have occurred.
  1927. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1928. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1929. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1930. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1931. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1932. Other changes:
  1933. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1934. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1935. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1936. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1937. - docs:
  1938. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1939. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1940. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1941. --------------------------
  1942. New features:
  1943. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1944. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1945. also:
  1946. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1947. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1948. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1949. possibly CIFS).
  1950. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1951. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1952. this on his own.
  1953. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1954. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1955. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1956. Bug fixes:
  1957. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1958. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1959. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1960. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1961. - fix build on illumos
  1962. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1963. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1964. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1965. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1966. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1967. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1968. instead, #791
  1969. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1970. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1971. #798
  1972. Other changes:
  1973. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1974. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1975. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1976. - docs:
  1977. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1978. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1979. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1980. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1981. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1982. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1983. --------------------------
  1984. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1985. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1986. check your backup logs.
  1987. Compatibility notes:
  1988. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1989. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1990. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1991. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1992. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1993. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1994. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1995. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1996. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1997. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1998. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1999. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2000. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2001. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2002. use --one-file-system instead
  2003. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2004. - -p now is same as --progress
  2005. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2006. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2007. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2008. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2009. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2010. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2011. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2012. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2013. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2014. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2015. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2016. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2017. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2018. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2019. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2020. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2021. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2022. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2023. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2024. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2025. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2026. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2027. usage).
  2028. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2029. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2030. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2031. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2032. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2033. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2034. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2035. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2036. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  2037. New features:
  2038. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  2039. Bug fixes:
  2040. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  2041. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  2042. Other changes:
  2043. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  2044. - docs:
  2045. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  2046. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  2047. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698
  2048. - FAQ: how to limit bandwidth

  2052. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  2053. - borg list --list-format
  2054. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  2055. Bug fixes:
  2056. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  2057. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  2058. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  2059. as borg info, #651
  2060. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  2061. Other changes:
  2062. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2063. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2064. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2065. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  2066. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  2067. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  2068. - docs:
  2069. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  2070. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  2071. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  2072. - fix order in release process
  2073. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  2085. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  2086. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  2087. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  2088. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  2089. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544

  2099. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  2100. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  2101. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  2102. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  2103. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  2104. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  2105. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  2106. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code

  2120. - misc. updates and fixes
  2121. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  2122. ---------------------------
  2123. Compatibility notes:
  2124. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2125. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2126. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2127. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2128. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2129. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2130. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  2131. Bug fixes:
  2132. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  2142. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  2143. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  2144. New features:
  2145. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2146. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2147. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2148. - support different styles for patterns:
  2149. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2150. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2151. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2152. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2153. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  2154. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  2155. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  2156. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  2157. files or for borg check repo), #500
  2158. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  2159. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  2160. file list output
  2161. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  2162. Other changes:
  2163. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2164. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2165. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2166. fixes #569
  2167. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2168. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2169. than debian7
  2170. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2171. - docs:
  2172. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  2173. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

  2182. - rephrase the mailing list section
  2183. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  2184. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  2185. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  2186. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2187. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2188. ---------------------------
  2189. Compatibility notes:
  2190. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2191. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2192. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2193. option.
  2194. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2195. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2196. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2197. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2198. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2199. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2200. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2201. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2202. Bug fixes:
  2203. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2204. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  2205. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  2206. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  2207. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  2208. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  2209. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  2210. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  2211. New features:
  2212. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  2213. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2214. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2215. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2216. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2217. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2218. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2219. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2220. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2221. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2222. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2223. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2224. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2225. - more progress indicators, #394
  2226. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2227. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  2228. Other changes:
  2229. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  2230. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  2231. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239
  2232. - increase rpc protocol version to 2 (see also Compatibility notes), #458
  2233. - silence borg by default (via default log level WARNING)
  2234. - get rid of C compiler warnings, #391
  2235. - upgrade OS X FUSE to 3.0.9 on the OS X binary build system
  2236. - use python 3.5.1 to build binaries
  2237. - docs:
  2238. - new mailing list borgbackup@python.org, #468
  2239. - readthedocs: color and logo improvements
  2240. - load coverage icons over SSL (avoids mixed content)
  2241. - more precise binary installation steps
  2242. - update release procedure docs about OS X FUSE
  2243. - FAQ entry about unexpected 'A' status for unchanged file(s), #403
  2244. - add docs about 'E' file status
  2245. - add "borg upgrade" docs, #464
  2246. - add developer docs about output and logging
  2247. - clarify encryption, add note about client-side encryption
  2248. - add resources section, with videos, talks, presentations, #149
  2249. - Borg moved to Arch Linux [community]
  2250. - fix wrong installation instructions for archlinux
  2251. Version 0.28.2 (2015-11-15)
  2252. ---------------------------
  2253. New features:
  2254. - borg create --exclude-if-present TAGFILE - exclude directories that have the
  2255. given file from the backup. You can additionally give --keep-tag-files to
  2256. preserve just the directory roots and the tag-files (but not backup other
  2257. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  2258. Other changes:
  2259. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),
  2260. completely remove have_cython() hack, do not use the "mock" library at build
  2261. time, #384
  2262. - avoid hidden import, make it easier for PyInstaller, easier fix for #218
  2263. - docs:
  2264. - add description of item flags / status output, fixes #402
  2265. - explain how to regenerate usage and API files (build_api or
  2266. build_usage) and when to commit usage files directly into git, #384
  2267. - minor install docs improvements
  2268. Version 0.28.1 (2015-11-08)

  2446. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2447. ---------------------------
  2448. Compatibility notes:
  2449. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2450. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2451. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2452. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2453. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2454. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2455. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2456. Deprecations:
  2457. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2458. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2459. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2460. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2461. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2462. (which is the default).
  2463. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2464. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2465. New features:
  2466. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2467. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2468. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2469. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2470. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2471. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2472. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2473. Bug fixes:
  2474. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2475. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2476. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2477. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2478. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2479. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2480. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2481. Other changes:
  2482. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2483. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2484. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2485. - more tests for archiver
  2486. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2487. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2488. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2489. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2490. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2491. - improved docs:
  2492. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2493. - update docs about compression
  2494. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2495. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2496. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2497. - theme: use a lighter green
  2498. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2499. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2500. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2501. ---------------------------
  2502. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2503. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2504. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2505. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2506. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2507. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2508. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2509. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2510. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2511. Deprecations:
  2512. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2513. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2514. New features:
  2515. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2516. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2517. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2518. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2519. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2520. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2521. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2522. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2523. (attic #295).
  2524. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2525. fixes #85
  2526. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2527. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2528. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2529. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2530. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2531. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2532. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2533. Bug fixes:
  2534. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2535. signed size_t), #116
  2536. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2537. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2538. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2539. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2540. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2541. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2542. fixes attic #326.
  2543. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2544. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2545. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2546. Other changes:
  2547. - improved docs:
  2548. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2549. "as is" into the html docs.
  2550. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2551. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2552. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2553. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2554. - updated AUTHORS
  2555. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2556. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2557. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2558. - added docs about development
  2559. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2560. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2561. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2562. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2563. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2564. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2565. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2566. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2567. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2568. - improved tox configuration
  2569. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2570. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2571. modern installs
  2572. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2573. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2574. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2575. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2576. New features:
  2577. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2578. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2579. attic #167)
  2580. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2581. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2582. Other changes:
  2583. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2584. - some easy micro optimizations
  2585. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2586. ---------------------------
  2587. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2588. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2589. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2590. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2591. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2592. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2593. Bug fixes:
  2594. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2595. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2596. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2597. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  2598. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282

  2601. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2602. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2603. always fails
  2604. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2605. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
