-------
* Bugfix #1506: Limit bandwith at the http.RoundTripper for HTTP based backends
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1506
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1511
* Bugfix #1512: Restore directory permissions as the last step
This change allows restoring into directories that were not writable during backup. Before,
restic created the directory, set the read-only mode and then failed to create files in the
directory. This change now restores the directory (with its permissions) as the very last
step.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1512
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1536
* Bugfix #1528: Correctly create missing subdirs in data/
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1528
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1529
* Bugfix #1590: Strip spaces for lines read via --files-from
Leading and trailing spaces in lines read via `--files-from` are now stripped, so it behaves
the same as with lines read via `--exclude-file`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1590
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1613
* Bugfix #1589: Complete intermediate index upload
After a user posted a comprehensive report of what he observed, we were able to find a bug and
correct it: During backup, restic uploads so-called "intermediate" index files. When the
backup finishes during a transfer of such an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled, but
the backup is finished without an error. This leads to an inconsistent state, where the
snapshot references data that is contained in the repo, but is not referenced in any index.
The situation can be resolved by building a new index with `rebuild-index`, but looks very
confusing at first. Since all the data got uploaded to the repo successfully, there was no risk
of data loss, just minor inconvenience for our users.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1589
* Bugfix #1594: Google Cloud Storage: Use generic HTTP transport
It was discovered that the Google Cloud Storage backend did not use the generic HTTP transport,
so things such as bandwidth limiting with `--limit-upload` did not work. This is resolved now.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1594
* Bugfix #1595: Backup: Remove bandwidth display
This commit removes the bandwidth displayed during backup process. It is misleading and
seldomly correct, because it's neither the "read bandwidth" (only for the very first backup)
nor the "upload bandwidth". Many users are confused about (and rightly so), c.f. #1581, #1033,
#1591
We'll eventually replace this display with something more relevant when the new archiver code
is ready.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1595
* Enhancement #1522: Add support for TLS client certificate authentication
Support has been added for using a TLS client certificate for authentication to HTTP based
backend. A file containing the PEM encoded private key and certificate can be set using the
`--tls-client-cert` option.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1522
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1524
* Enhancement #1541: Reduce number of remote requests during repository check
This change eliminates redundant remote repository calls and significantly improves
repository check time.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1541
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1548
* Enhancement #1567: Reduce number of backend requests for rebuild-index and prune
We've found a way to reduce then number of backend requests for the `rebuild-index` and `prune`
operations. This significantly speeds up the operations for high-latency backends.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1567
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1574
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1575
* Enhancement #1507: Only reload snapshots once per minute for fuse mount
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1507
* Enhancement #1538: Reduce memory allocations for querying the index
This change reduces the internal memory allocations when the index data structures in memory
are queried if a blob (part of a file) already exists in the repo. It should speed up backup a bit,
and maybe even reduce RAM usage.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1538
* Enhancement #1549: Speed up querying across indices and scanning existing files
This change increases the whenever a blob (part of a file) is searched for in a restic
repository. This will reduce cpu usage some when backing up files already backed up by restic.
Cpu usage is further decreased when scanning files.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1549
* Enhancement #1554: Fuse/mount: Correctly handle EOF, add template option
We've added the `--snapshot-template` string, which can be used to specify a template for a
snapshot directory. In addition, accessing data after the end of a file via the fuse mount is now
handled correctly.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1554
* Enhancement #1564: Don't terminate ssh on SIGINT
We've reworked the code which runs the `ssh` login for the sftp backend so that it can prompt for a
password (if needed) but does not exit when the user presses CTRL+C (SIGINT) e.g. during
backup. This allows restic to properly shut down when it receives SIGINT and remove the lock
file from the repo, afterwards exiting the `ssh` process.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1564
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1588
* Enhancement #1579: Retry Backend.List() in case of errors
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1579
* Enhancement #1584: Limit index file size
Before, restic would create a single new index file on `prune` or `rebuild-index`, this may
lead to memory problems when this huge index is created and loaded again. We're now limiting the
size of the index file, and split newly created index files into several smaller ones. This
allows restic to be more memory-efficient.
