Version 1.1.14 (2020-10-07)
---------------------------
Compatibility notes:
- When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
- read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
- borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
- borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
- your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
--files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
See the --files-cache docs for details.
- 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
work around the WSL issue.
- 1.1.14 changes return codes due to a bug fix:
In case you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to
update them to check for >= 128 (as documented since long).
Fixes:
- check --repair: fix potential data loss when interrupting it, #5325
- exit with 128 + signal number (as documented) when borg is killed by a signal, #5161
- fix hardlinked CACHEDIR.TAG processing, #4911
- create --read-special: .part files also should be regular files, #5217
- llfuse dependency: choose least broken 1.3.6/1.3.7.
1.3.6 is broken on python 3.9, 1.3.7 is broken on FreeBSD.
Other changes:
- upgrade bundled xxhash to 0.7.4
- self test: if it fails, also point to OS and hardware, #5334
- pyinstaller: compute basepath from spec file location
- prettier error message when archive gets too big, #5307
- check/recreate are not "experimental" any more (but still potentially dangerous):
- recreate: remove extra confirmation
- rephrase some warnings, update docs, #5164
- shell completions:
- misc. updates / fixes
- support repositories in fish tab completion, #5256
- complete $BORG_RECREATE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING
- rewrite zsh completion:
- completion for almost all optional and positional arguments
- completion for Borg environment variables (parameters)
- use "allow/deny list" instead of "white/black list" wording
- declare "allow_cache_wipe" marker in setup.cfg to avoid pytest warning
- vagrant / tests:
- misc. fixes / updates
- use python 3.5.10 for binary build
- build directory-based binaries additionally to the single file binaries
- add libffi-dev, required to build python
- use cryptography<3.0, more recent versions break the jessie box
- test on python 3.9
- do brew update with /dev/null redirect to avoid "too much log output" on travis-ci
- docs:
- add ssh-agent pull backup method docs, #5288
- how to approach borg speed issues, #5371
- mention double --force in prune docs
- update Homebrew install instructions, #5185
- better description of how cache and rebuilds of it work
- point to borg create --list item flags in recreate usage, #5165
- add security faq explaining AES-CTR crypto issues, #5254
- add a note to create from stdin regarding files cache, #5180
- fix borg.1 manpage generation regression, #5211
- clarify how exclude options work in recreate, #5193
- add section for retired contributors
