Borg Changelog ============== Version 0.24.0 -------------- New features: - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index. Bug fixes: - reduce memory usage, see --chunker-params, fixes #16. This can be used to reduce 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). - better Exception msg if there is no Borg installed on the remote repo server. Other changes: - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included "as is" into the html docs. 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 ", "delete ", "prune" - 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 - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189 - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139 - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183 - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282 - fix misleading hint the fuse ImportError handler gave, fixes attic #237 - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127 - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that 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 - create --progress (backup progress indicator) - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir) - create: if "-" is given as path, read binary from stdin - extract: if --stdout is given, write all extracted binary data to stdout - extract --sparse (simple sparse file support) - extra debug information for 'fread failed' - delete (deletes whole repo + local cache) - FUSE: reflect deduplication in allocated blocks - only allow whitelisted RPC calls in server mode - normalize source/exclude paths before matching - use posix_fadvise to not spoil the OS cache, fixes attic #252 - toplevel error handler: show tracebacks for better error analysis - sigusr1 / sigint handler to print current file infos - attic PR #286 - RPCError: include the exception args we get from remote Other changes: - source: misc. cleanups, pep8, style - docs and faq improvements, fixes, updates - cleanup crypto.pyx, make it easier to adapt to other AES modes - do os.fsync like recommended in the python docs - source: Let chunker optionally work with os-level file descriptor. - source: Linux: remove duplicate os.fsencode calls - source: refactor _open_rb code a bit, so it is more consistent / regular - source: refactor indicator (status) and item processing - source: use py.test for better testing, flake8 for code style checks - source: fix tox >=2.0 compatibility (test runner) - pypi package: add python version classifiers, add FreeBSD to platforms Attic Changelog =============== Here you can see the full list of changes between each Attic release until Borg forked from Attic: Version 0.17 ------------ (bugfix release, released on X) - Fix hashindex ARM memory alignment issue (#309) - Improve hashindex error messages (#298) Version 0.16 ------------ (bugfix release, released on May 16, 2015) - Fix typo preventing the security confirmation prompt from working (#303) - Improve handling of systems with improperly configured file system encoding (#289) - Fix "All archives" output for attic info.
