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 + -
