Important Changes in 0.5.1
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Consistent forget policy
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `forget` command was corrected to be more consistent in which snapshots are
|
|
to be forgotten. It is possible that the new code removes more snapshots than
|
|
before, so please review what would be deleted by using the `--dry-run` option.

Unified repository layout
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Up to now the s3 backend used a special repository layout. We've decided to
|
|
unify the repository layout and implemented the default layout also for the s3
|
|
backend. For creating a new repository on s3 with the default layout, use
|
|
`restic -o s3.layout=default init`. For further commands the option is not
|
|
necessary any more, restic will automatically detect the correct layout to use.
|
|
A future version will switch to the default layout for new repositories.

Memory and time improvements for the s3 backend
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We've updated the library used for accessing s3, switched to using a lower
|
|
level API and added caching for some requests. This lead to a decrease in
|
|
memory usage and a great speedup. In addition, we added benchmark functions for
|
|
all backends, so we can track improvements over time. The Continuous
|
|
Integration test service we're using (Travis) now runs the s3 backend tests not
|
|
only against a Minio server, but also against the Amazon s3 live service, so we
|
|
should be notified of any regressions much sooner.
