Details
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #1935: Remove truncated files from cache
|
||||
|
||||
When a file in the local cache is truncated, and restic tries to access data beyond the end of the
|
||||
(cached) file, it used to return an error "EOF". This is now fixed, such truncated files are
|
||||
removed and the data is fetched directly from the backend.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #1978: Do not return an error when the scanner is faster than backup
|
||||
|
||||
When restic makes a backup, there's a background task called "scanner" which collects
|
||||
information on how many files and directories are to be saved, in order to display progress
|
||||
information to the user. When the backup finishes faster than the scanner, it is aborted
|
||||
because the result is not needed any more. This logic contained a bug, where quitting the
|
||||
scanner process was treated as an error, and caused restic to print an unhelpful error message
|
||||
("context canceled").
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1978
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1991
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1766: Restore: suppress lchown errors when not running as root
|
||||
|
||||
Like "cp" and "rsync" do, restic now only reports errors for changing the ownership of files
|
||||
during restore if it is run as root, on non-Windows operating systems. On Windows, the error
|
||||
is reported as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1766
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1909: Reject files/dirs by name first
|
||||
|
||||
The current scanner/archiver code had an architectural limitation: it always ran the
|
||||
`lstat()` system call on all files and directories before a decision to include/exclude the
|
||||
file/dir was made. This lead to a lot of unnecessary system calls for items that could have been
|
||||
rejected by their name or path only.
|
||||
|
||||
We've changed the archiver/scanner implementation so that it now first rejects by name/path,
|
||||
and only runs the system call on the remaining items. This reduces the number of `lstat()`
|
||||
system calls a lot (depending on the exclude settings).
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1909
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1912
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1940: Add directory filter to ls command
|
||||
|
||||
The ls command can now be filtered by directories, so that only files in the given directories
|
||||
will be shown. If the --recursive flag is specified, then ls will traverse subfolders and list
|
||||
their files as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It used to be possible to specify multiple snapshots, but that has been replaced by only one
|
||||
snapshot and the possibility of specifying multiple directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifying directories constrains the walk, which can significantly speed up the listing.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1940
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1941
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1967: Use `--host` everywhere
|
||||
|
||||
We now use the flag `--host` for all commands which need a host name, using `--hostname` (e.g.
|
||||
for `restic backup`) still works, but will print a deprecation warning. Also, add the short
|
||||
option `-H` where possible.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1967
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2028: Display size of cache directories
|
||||
|
||||
The `cache` command now by default shows the size of the individual cache directories. It can be
|
||||
disabled with `--no-size`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2033
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1777: Improve the `find` command
|
||||
|
||||
We've updated the `find` command to support multiple patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
`restic find` is now able to list the snapshots containing a specific tree or blob, or even the
|
||||
snapshots that contain blobs belonging to a given pack. A list of IDs can be given, as long as they
|
||||
all have the same type.
|
||||
|
||||
The command `find` can also display the pack IDs the blobs belong to, if the `--show-pack-id`
|
||||
flag is provided.
|
||||

|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1780
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1876: Display reason why forget keeps snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
We've added a column to the list of snapshots `forget` keeps which details the reasons to keep a
|
||||
particuliar snapshot. This makes debugging policies for forget much easier. Please remember
|
||||
to always try things out with `--dry-run`!
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1876
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1891: Accept glob in paths loaded via --files-from
|
||||
|
||||
Before that, behaviour was different if paths were appended to command line or from a file,
|
||||
because wild card characters were expanded by shell if appended to command line, but not
|
||||
expanded if loaded from file.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1891
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1920: Vendor dependencies with Go 1.11 Modules
|
||||
|
||||
Until now, we've used `dep` for managing dependencies, we've now switch to using Go modules.
|
||||
For users this does not change much, only if you want to compile restic without downloading
|
||||
anything with Go 1.11, then you need to run: `go build -mod=vendor build.go`
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1920
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1949: Add new command `self-update`
|
||||
|
||||
We have added a new command called `self-update` which downloads the latest released version
|
||||
of restic from GitHub and replaces the current binary with it. It does not rely on any external
|
||||
program (so it'll work everywhere), but still verifies the GPG signature using the embedded
|
||||
GPG public key.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the `self-update` command is hidden behind the `selfupdate` built tag, which is
|
||||
only set when restic is built using `build.go` (including official releases). The reason for
|
||||
this is that downstream distributions will then not include the command by default, so users
|
||||
are encouraged to use the platform-specific distribution mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1949
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1953: Ls: Add JSON output support for restic ls cmd
|
||||
|
||||
We've implemented listing files in the repository with JSON as output, just pass `--json` as an
|
||||
option to `restic ls`. This makes the output of the command machine readable.
