  2. Change Log 0.x
  3. ==============
  4. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  5. ---------------------------
  6. Compatibility notes:
  7. - The new default logging level is WARNING. Previously, it was INFO, which was
  8. more verbose. Use -v (or --info) to show once again log level INFO messages.
  9. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  10. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  11. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  12. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  13. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  14. Bug fixes:
  15. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  16. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  17. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  18. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  19. - log stats consistently, #526
  20. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496
  21. - strip whitespace when loading exclusions from file
  22. - unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH before invoking ssh, fixes strange OpenSSL library
  23. version warning when using the borg binary, #514
  24. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  25. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  26. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  27. New features:
  28. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  29. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  30. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  31. - support different styles for patterns:
  32. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  33. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  34. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  35. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  36. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  37. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  38. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  39. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  40. files or for borg check repo), #500
  41. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  42. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  43. file list output
  44. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  45. Other changes:
  46. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  47. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  48. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  49. fixes #569
  50. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  51. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  52. than debian7
  53. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  54. - docs:
  55. - add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
  56. - important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!
  57. - sphinx configuration: create a simple man page from usage docs
  58. - add a repo server setup example
  59. - disable unneeded SSH features in authorized_keys examples for security.
  60. - borg prune only knows "--keep-within" and not "--within"

  65. - rephrase the mailing list section
  66. - development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
  67. - internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
  68. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  69. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  70. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  71. ---------------------------
  72. Compatibility notes:
  73. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  74. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  75. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  76. option.
  77. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  78. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  79. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  80. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  81. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  82. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  83. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  84. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  85. Bug fixes:
  86. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  87. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  88. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  89. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  90. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  91. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  92. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  93. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  94. New features:
  95. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  96. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  97. - include system info below traceback, #324
  98. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  99. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  100. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  101. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  102. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  103. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  104. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  105. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  106. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  107. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  108. - more progress indicators, #394
  109. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  110. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  111. Other changes:
  112. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  113. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  114. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239
  115. - increase rpc protocol version to 2 (see also Compatibility notes), #458
  116. - silence borg by default (via default log level WARNING)
  117. - get rid of C compiler warnings, #391

  140. directory contents), #395, attic #128, attic #142
  141. Other changes:
  142. - do not create docs sources at build time (just have them in the repo),

  329. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  330. ---------------------------
  331. Compatibility notes:
  332. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  333. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  334. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  335. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  336. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  337. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  338. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  339. Deprecations:
  340. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  341. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now not to break scripts, but it is
  342. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  343. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  344. BUT: if you do not want compression, use --compression none
  345. (which is the default).
  346. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  347. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  348. New features:
  349. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  350. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  351. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  352. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  353. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  354. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not back up such items
  355. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  356. Bug fixes:
  357. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  358. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  359. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  360. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  361. the whole file, fixes #158.
  362. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  363. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  364. Other changes:
  365. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  366. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  367. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  368. - more tests for archiver
  369. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  370. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  371. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  372. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  373. - travis CI: use requirements file
  374. - improved docs:
  375. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  376. - update docs about compression
  377. - update development docs about fakeroot
  378. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  379. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  380. - theme: use a lighter green
  381. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  382. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  383. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  384. ---------------------------
  385. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  386. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  387. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  388. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  389. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  390. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  391. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  392. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  393. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  394. Deprecations:
  395. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  396. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  397. New features:
  398. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  399. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  400. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  401. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  402. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  403. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  404. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  405. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  406. (attic #295).
  407. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  408. fixes #85
  409. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  410. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  411. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  412. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  413. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  414. - cache sync: show progress indication
  415. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  416. Bug fixes:
  417. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  418. signed size_t), #116
  419. - fix the repair mode, #144
  420. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  421. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  422. (attic #317, attic #201).
  423. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  424. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  425. fixes attic #326.
  426. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  427. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  428. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  429. Other changes:
  430. - improved docs:
  431. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  432. "as is" into the html docs.
  433. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  434. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  435. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  436. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  437. - updated AUTHORS
  438. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  439. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  440. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  441. - added docs about development
  442. - add some words about resource usage in general
  443. - document how to back up a raw disk
  444. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  445. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  446. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  447. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  448. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  449. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  450. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  451. - improved tox configuration
  452. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  453. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  454. modern installs
  455. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  456. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  457. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  458. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  459. New features:
  460. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  461. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  462. attic #167)
  463. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  464. - hashindex: improve error messages
  465. Other changes:
  466. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  467. - some easy micro optimizations
  468. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  469. ---------------------------
  470. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  471. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  472. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  473. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  474. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  475. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  476. Bug fixes:
  477. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  478. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  479. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  480. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  481. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282
  482. - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237
  483. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  484. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  485. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  486. always fails
  487. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  488. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  489. New features:
  490. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  491. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  492. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  493. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  494. - create -v output more informative
  495. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  496. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
  497. - create: if "-" is given as path, read binary from stdin
  498. - extract: if --stdout is given, write all extracted binary data to stdout
  499. - extract --sparse (simple sparse file support)
  500. - extra debug information for 'fread failed'
