  6. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  7. ----------------------------------------------------------
  8. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  9. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  10. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  11. 2. gain write access to the repository
  12. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  13. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  14. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  15. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  16. for large archives.
  17. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  18. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  19. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  20. Steps you should take:
  21. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  22. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  23. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  24. 4. Done.
  25. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  26. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  27. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  28. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  29. otherwise.
  30. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  31. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  32. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  33. This attack is mitigated by:
  34. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  35. contain the archive IDs.
  36. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  37. Vulnerability time line:
  38. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  39. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  40. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  41. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  42. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  43. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  44. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  45. -----------------------------
  46. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  47. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  48. archives. See issue #1837.
  49. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  50. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  51. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  52. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  53. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  54. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  55. -----------------------------------
  56. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  57. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  58. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  59. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  60. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  61. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  62. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  63. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  64. Fix::
  65. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  66. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  67. # repair the repo:
  68. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  69. # make sure everything is fixed:
  70. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  71. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  72. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  73. Fix::
  74. # check for corrupt archives:
  75. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  76. # delete the corrupt archives:
  77. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  78. # make sure everything is fixed:
  79. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  80. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  81. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  82. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  84. Changelog
  85. =========
  86. Version 1.1.0rc1 (unreleased)
  87. -----------------------------
  88. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  89. ----------------------------
  90. Compatibility notes:
  91. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  92. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  93. an append-only repository.
  94. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  95. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  96. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  97. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  98. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  99. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  100. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  101. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  102. not affect scripts.
  103. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  104. repositories they are.
  105. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  106. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  107. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  108. New features:
  109. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  110. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  111. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  112. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  113. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  114. - repository: index and hints files
  115. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  116. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  117. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  118. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  119. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  120. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  121. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  122. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  123. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  124. - borg export-tar, #2519
  125. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  126. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  127. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  128. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  129. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  130. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  131. Fixes:
  132. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  133. reporting, #2496
  134. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  135. error message when parsing fails.
  136. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540

  142. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  143. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  144. - use decrypted cache
  145. - remove unnecessary normpaths

  156. - fix --progress and logging in general for remote
  157. - fix parse_version, add tests, #2556
  158. - repository: truncate segments (and also some other files) before unlinking, #2557
  159. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  160. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  161. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  162. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  163. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  164. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests

  523. - tests:
  524. - FUSE tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  525. - FUSE tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  526. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  527. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.

  594. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  595. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  596. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  597. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  598. Bug fixes:
  599. - borg check:

  620. -----------------------------
  621. Bug fixes:
  622. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  623. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  624. files in next backup), #1860.
  625. - borg check:
  626. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  628. *completely* empty, #1815.
  629. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  630. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  631. New features:
  632. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  633. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  634. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  635. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  636. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  637. Other changes:

  653. - add more details about resource usage
  654. - tests: skip remote tests on cygwin, #1268
  655. - travis:
  656. - allow OS X failures until the brew cask osxfuse issue is fixed
  657. - caskroom osxfuse-beta gone, it's osxfuse now (3.5.3)
  658. - vagrant:
  659. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.3
  660. - remove llfuse from tox.ini at a central place
  661. - do not try to install llfuse on centos6
  662. - fix FUSE test for darwin, #1546
  663. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  664. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  665. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  666. ----------------------------
  667. Bug fixes:
  668. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  669. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is
  670. normally fixed by running another borg create/delete/prune.

  678. - borg help compression, #1582
  679. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  680. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  681. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  682. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  683. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  684. Other changes:
  685. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  686. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  687. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  688. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  689. - fix module names in api.rst
  690. - hashindex: bump api_version

  702. - borg with-lock: execute a command with the repository locked, #990
  703. - borg create:
  704. - Flexible compression with pattern matching on path/filename,
  705. and LZ4 heuristic for deciding compressibility, #810, #1007
  706. - visit files in inode order (better speed, esp. for large directories and rotating disks)
  707. - in-file checkpoints, #1217
  708. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  709. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  710. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  711. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  712. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  713. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  714. - borg check:
  715. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  716. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  717. - borg list, #751, #1179

  728. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  729. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  730. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,
  731. --keep-last N and --keep-secondly N are equivalent, #537
  732. - cleanup checkpoints except the latest, #1008
  733. - borg extract:
  734. - added --progress, #1449
  735. - Linux: limited support for BSD flags, #1050
  736. - borg info:
  737. - output is now more similar to borg create --stats, #977
  738. - borg mount:
  739. - provide "borgfs" wrapper for borg mount, enables usage via fstab, #743
  740. - "versions" mount option - when used with a repository mount, this gives
  741. a merged, versioned view of the files in all archives, #729
  742. - repository:
  743. - added progress information to commit/compaction phase (often takes some time when deleting/pruning), #1519
  744. - automatic recovery for some forms of repository inconsistency, #858
  745. - check free space before going forward with a commit, #1336
  746. - improved write performance (esp. for rotating media), #985

  753. - add archive comments (via borg (re)create --comment), #842
  754. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731
  755. - --show-version: shows/logs the borg version, #725

  782. - cleaned up imports, #1112
  783. - Docs:
  784. - better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
  785. - Group options
  786. - Nicer list of options in Sphinx
  787. - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)

  797. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  798. --------------------------
  799. Bug fixes:
  800. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  801. New features:
  802. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  803. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  804. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  805. Other changes:
  806. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  807. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  808. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  809. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  810. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  811. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  812. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  813. - docs:
  814. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  815. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  816. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726

  821. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  822. - fix FUSE permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  823. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  824. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  825. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  826. -----------------------------
  827. Bug fixes:
  828. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  829. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  830. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  831. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  832. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  833. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  834. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  835. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  836. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  837. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  838. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  839. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  840. was openend. add an error message for this.
  841. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  842. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  843. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  844. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  845. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  846. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  847. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  848. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  849. #1684
  850. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  851. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  852. New features:
  853. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  854. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  855. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  856. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  857. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  858. soon as it is input.
  859. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  860. #1352
  861. Other changes:
  862. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  863. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  864. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  865. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  866. dataflow direction.
  867. - improved messages / error reporting:
  868. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  869. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  870. #1572
  871. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  872. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  873. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  874. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  875. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  876. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  877. FUSE/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  878. - docs:
  879. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  880. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  881. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  882. - add bestpractices badge

  893. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  894. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  895. - tests:
  896. - work around FUSE xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  897. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  898. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  899. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  900. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  901. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  902. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  903. --------------------------
  904. Security fixes:
  905. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  906. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  907. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  908. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  909. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  910. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  911. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  912. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  913. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  914. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  915. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  916. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  917. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  918. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  919. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  920. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  921. Bug fixes:
  922. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  923. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  924. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  925. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  926. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  927. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  928. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  929. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  930. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  931. New features:
  932. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  933. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  934. Other changes:
  935. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  936. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  937. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  938. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  939. -----------------------------
  940. Bug fixes:
  941. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  942. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  943. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  944. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  945. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  946. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  947. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  948. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  949. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  950. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  951. these would never be cleaned up.
  952. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  953. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  954. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  955. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  956. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  957. path being a integer FD
  958. Other changes:
  959. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  960. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  961. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  962. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  963. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  964. real problem.
  965. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  966. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  967. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  968. - docs:
  969. - document archive limitation, #1452
  970. - improve prune examples
  971. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  972. -----------------------------

  974. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  975. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  976. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  977. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  978. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  979. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  980. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  981. to 20, #1338
  982. - FUSE:
  983. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  984. - always create a root dir, #1125
  985. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  986. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  987. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  988. New features:
  989. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  990. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  991. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  992. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  993. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  994. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  995. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  996. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  997. server), #1291.
  998. Other changes:
  999. - Vagrantfile:
  1000. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  1001. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  1002. - tests:
  1003. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  1004. - docs:
  1005. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  1006. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  1007. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  1008. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  1009. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  1010. - added platform feature matrix
  1011. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  1012. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  1013. --------------------------
  1014. Bug fixes:
  1015. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  1016. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  1017. Other changes:
  1018. - tests:
  1019. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  1020. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  1021. - docs:
  1022. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  1023. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  1024. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  1025. -----------------------------
  1026. New features:
  1027. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  1028. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  1029. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  1030. Bug fixes:
  1031. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  1032. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  1033. repository code.
  1034. - borg mount (FUSE):
  1035. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  1036. #1295
  1037. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  1038. used), #1302. (*)
  1039. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  1040. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  1041. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  1042. Other changes:
  1043. - tests:
  1044. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  1045. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  1046. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  1047. - docs:
  1048. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  1049. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  1050. Notes:
  1051. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  1052. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  1053. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  1054. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  1055. repair was done with an older borg version.
  1056. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  1057. --------------------------
  1058. Bug fixes:
  1059. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  1060. Other changes:
  1061. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  1062. - add release helper scripts
  1063. - Vagrantfile:
  1064. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  1065. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  1066. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  1067. --------------------------
  1068. New features:
  1069. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  1070. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  1071. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1072. practically usable.
  1073. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1074. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1075. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1076. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1077. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1078. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1079. Bug fixes:
  1080. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1081. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1082. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1083. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1084. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1085. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1086. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1087. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1088. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1089. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1090. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1091. error reporting.
  1092. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1093. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1094. sync the containing directory.
  1095. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1096. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1097. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1098. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1099. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1100. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1101. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1102. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1103. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1104. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1105. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1106. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1107. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1108. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1109. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1110. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1111. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1112. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1113. - borg delete:
  1114. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1115. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1116. - borg check:
  1117. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1118. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1119. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1120. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1121. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1122. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1123. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1124. - tests:
  1125. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1126. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1127. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1128. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  1129. Other changes:
  1130. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  1131. - docs / help:
  1132. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  1133. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  1134. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  1135. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  1136. - document sshd settings, #545
  1137. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  1138. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  1139. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  1140. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  1141. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  1142. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  1143. - update cygwin installation docs
  1144. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1145. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1146. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1147. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1148. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1149. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  1150. - Vagrantfile:
  1151. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  1152. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  1153. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  1154. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  1155. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  1156. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  1157. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1158. --------------------------
  1159. Bug fixes:
  1160. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1161. a prune run), #997
  1162. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1163. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1164. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1165. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1166. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1167. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1168. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1169. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1170. space), #1063
  1171. Other changes:
  1172. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  1173. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  1174. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  1175. - docs / help:
  1176. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  1177. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  1178. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  1179. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  1180. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1181. --------------------------
  1182. Bug fixes:
  1183. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1184. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1185. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1186. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1187. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1188. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1189. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1190. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1191. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1192. a overflow would have occurred.
  1193. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1194. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1195. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1196. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1197. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1198. Other changes:
  1199. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1200. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1201. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1202. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1203. - docs:
  1204. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1205. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1206. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1207. --------------------------
  1208. New features:
  1209. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1210. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1211. also:
  1212. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1213. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1214. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1215. possibly CIFS).
  1216. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1217. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1218. this on his own.
  1219. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1220. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1221. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1222. Bug fixes:
  1223. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1224. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1225. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1226. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1227. - fix build on illumos
  1228. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1229. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1230. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1231. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1232. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1233. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1234. instead, #791
  1235. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1236. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1237. #798
  1238. Other changes:
  1239. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1240. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1241. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1242. - docs:
  1243. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1244. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1245. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1246. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1247. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1248. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1249. --------------------------
  1250. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1251. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1252. check your backup logs.
  1253. Compatibility notes:
  1254. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1255. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1256. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1257. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1258. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1259. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1260. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1261. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1262. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1263. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1264. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1265. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1266. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1267. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1268. use --one-file-system instead
  1269. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1270. - -p now is same as --progress
  1271. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1272. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1273. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1274. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1275. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1276. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1277. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1278. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1279. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1280. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1281. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1282. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1283. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1284. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1285. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1286. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1287. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1288. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1289. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1290. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1291. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1292. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1293. usage).
  1294. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1295. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1296. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1297. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1298. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1299. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1300. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1301. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1302. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1303. New features:
  1304. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1305. Bug fixes:
  1306. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1307. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1308. Other changes:
  1309. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1310. - docs:
  1311. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1312. - add Teemu to AUTHORS
  1313. - changes.rst: fix old chunker params, #698

  1317. New features:
  1318. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  1319. - borg list --list-format
  1320. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  1321. Bug fixes:
  1322. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  1323. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1324. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1325. as borg info, #651
  1326. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1327. Other changes:
  1328. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1329. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1330. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1331. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1332. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1333. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1334. - docs:
  1335. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1336. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1337. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1338. - fix order in release process
  1339. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes
  1340. - verified borg examples in docs, #644
  1341. - freebsd dependency installation and FUSE configuration, #649
  1342. - add example how to restore a raw device, #671
  1343. - add a hint about the dev headers needed when installing from source
  1344. - add examples for delete (and handle delete after list, before prune), #656
  1345. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  1346. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1347. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636
  1348. Version 1.0.0rc1 (2016-02-07)
  1349. -----------------------------
  1350. New features:
  1351. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1352. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1353. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)
  1354. - borg serve: overwrite client's --restrict-to-path with ssh forced command's
  1355. option value (but keep everything else from the client commandline), #544
  1356. - use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keys for keyfile keys (~/.config/borg/keys), #515

  1388. ---------------------------
  1389. Compatibility notes:
  1390. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1391. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1392. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1393. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1394. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1395. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1396. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1397. Bug fixes:
  1398. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570

  1408. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1409. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1410. New features:
  1411. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1412. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1413. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1414. - support different styles for patterns:
  1415. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1416. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1417. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1418. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1419. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1420. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1421. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1422. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big

  1425. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1426. file list output
  1427. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1428. Other changes:
  1429. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1430. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1431. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1432. fixes #569
  1433. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1434. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1435. than debian7
  1436. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1437. - docs:
  1438. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ

  1452. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1453. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1454. ---------------------------
  1455. Compatibility notes:
  1456. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1457. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1458. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1459. option.
  1460. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1461. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1462. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1463. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1464. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1465. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1466. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1467. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1468. Bug fixes:
  1469. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1470. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1471. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1472. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1473. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1474. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1475. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1476. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1477. New features:
  1478. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1479. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1480. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1481. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1482. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1483. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1484. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1485. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1486. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1487. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1488. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1489. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1490. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1491. - more progress indicators, #394
  1492. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1493. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  1718. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1719. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1720. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1721. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1722. Deprecations:
  1723. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1724. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1725. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1726. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1727. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1728. (which is the default).
  1729. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1730. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1731. New features:
  1732. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1733. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1734. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1735. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1736. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1737. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1738. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1739. Bug fixes:
  1740. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1741. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1742. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1743. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1744. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1745. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1746. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1747. Other changes:
  1748. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1749. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1750. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1751. - more tests for archiver
  1752. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1753. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1754. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1755. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1756. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1757. - improved docs:
  1758. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1759. - update docs about compression
  1760. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1761. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1762. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  1763. - theme: use a lighter green
  1764. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1765. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1766. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1767. ---------------------------
  1768. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1769. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1770. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1771. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1772. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1773. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1774. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1775. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1776. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1777. Deprecations:
  1778. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1779. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1780. New features:
  1781. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1782. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1783. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1784. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1785. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1786. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1787. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1788. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1789. (attic #295).
  1790. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1791. fixes #85
  1792. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1793. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1794. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1795. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  1796. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  1797. - cache sync: show progress indication
  1798. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  1799. Bug fixes:
  1800. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  1801. signed size_t), #116
  1802. - fix the repair mode, #144
  1803. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  1804. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  1805. (attic #317, attic #201).
  1806. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  1807. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  1808. fixes attic #326.
  1809. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  1810. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  1811. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  1812. Other changes:
  1813. - improved docs:
  1814. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  1815. "as is" into the html docs.
  1816. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  1817. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  1818. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  1819. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  1820. - updated AUTHORS
  1821. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  1822. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  1823. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  1824. - added docs about development
  1825. - add some words about resource usage in general
  1826. - document how to backup a raw disk
  1827. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  1828. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  1829. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  1830. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  1831. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  1832. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  1833. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  1834. - improved tox configuration
  1835. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  1836. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  1837. modern installs
  1838. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  1839. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  1840. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  1841. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  1842. New features:
  1843. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  1844. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  1845. attic #167)
  1846. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  1847. - hashindex: improve error messages
  1848. Other changes:
  1849. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  1850. - some easy micro optimizations
  1851. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  1852. ---------------------------
  1853. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  1854. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  1855. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  1856. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  1857. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  1858. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  1859. Bug fixes:
  1860. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  1861. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  1862. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  1863. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  1867. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  1868. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  1869. always fails
  1870. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  1871. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  1872. New features:
  1873. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  1874. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  1875. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  1876. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  1877. - create -v output more informative
  1878. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  1879. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
