Important Changes in 0.X.Y ========================== + * We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load + all metadata (snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By + default the cache is active, but there's a new global option `--no-cache` + that can be used to disable the cache. The cache location is + `~/.cache/restic` by default, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir` or + the environment variable `XDG_CACHE_HOME`. The cache will automatically + populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they are loaded. + https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1040 + https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/29 + https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/738 + https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/282 + + * A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that + contain either data or metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy + caching of only the metadata files. The next run of `restic prune` will + untangle mixed files automatically. + https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1265 Small changes -------------
