-
-
-Version 0.25.0
---------------
-
-Compatibility notes:
-
-- lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
-- the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
- compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
- repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
- default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
- that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
- archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
-
-Deprecations:
-
-- --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
- We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
- deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
- --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
- BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
- (which is the default).
- --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
- --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
-
-New features:
-
-- create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
- data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
-- create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
-- create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
-- create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
-- honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
-- list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
-
-Bug fixes:
-
-- fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
-- close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
-- close files which fell out the lrucache
-- fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
- the whole file, fixes #158.
-- fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
-- restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
-
-Other changes:
-
-- remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
- (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
- without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
-- more tests for archiver
-- recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
-- lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
-- generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
-- lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
-- travis CI: use requirements file
-- improved docs:
-
- - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
- - update docs about compression
- - update development docs about fakeroot
- - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
- - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
- - theme: use a lighter green
- - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
- - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
-
-
-Version 0.24.0
---------------
-
-Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
-
-- borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
- on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
- for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
- server and client(s) to 0.24.
-- the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
- be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
- you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
- created by borg (e.g. the repository).
-
-Deprecations:
-
-- "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
- See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
-
-New features:
-
-- borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
- (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
- This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
- so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
- if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
- See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
-- borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
-- borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
- (attic #295).
-- borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
- fixes #85
-- improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
-- LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
-- implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
-- implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
-- borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
-- cache sync: show progress indication
-- cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
-
-Bug fixes:
-
-- fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
- signed size_t), #116
-- fix the repair mode, #144
-- repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
-- more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
- (attic #317, attic #201).
-- better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
-- create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
- fixes attic #326.
-- fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
-- clarify help text, fixes #73.
-- add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
-
-Other changes:
-
-- improved docs:
-
- - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
- "as is" into the html docs.
- - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
- - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
- - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
- - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
- - updated AUTHORS
- - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
- - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
- - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
- - added docs about development
- - add some words about resource usage in general
- - document how to backup a raw disk
- - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
- - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
- - document what borg check does, fixes #138
- - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
- - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
-
-- use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
-- short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
-- improved tox configuration
-- remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
-- use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
- modern installs
-- add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
-- use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
-- use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
-
-I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
-
-New features:
-
-- efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
- repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
- attic #167)
-- big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
-- hashindex: improve error messages
-
-Other changes:
-
-- explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
-- some easy micro optimizations
-
-
-Version 0.23.0
---------------
-
-Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
-
-- changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
-- package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
-- changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
- changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
- accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
-
-Bug fixes:
-
-- avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185

- always fails
-- fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
-- upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
-
-New features:
-
-- less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
-- check --last N (only check the last N archives)
-- check: sort archives in reverse time order
-- rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
-- create -v output more informative
