Changelog for restic 0.7.1 (2017-07-22)
=======================================
Important Changes in 0.X.Y
==========================
The following sections list the changes in restic 0.7.1 relevant to
restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.
* We've disabled handling SIGPIPE again. Turns out, writing to broken TCP
connections also raised SIGPIPE, so restic exits on the first write to a
broken connection. Instead, restic should retry the request.

Small changes
-------------
* Bugfix #1115: Fix `prune`, only include existing files in indexes
* We've added code to detect old cache directories of repositories that
haven't been used in a long time, restic now prints a note when it detects
that such dirs exist. Also, the option `--cleanup-cache` was added to
automatically remove such directories. That's not a problem because the
cache will be rebuild once a repo is accessed again.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1436
A bug was found (and corrected) in the index rebuilding after prune, which led to indexes which
include blobs that were not present in the repo any more. There were already checks in place
which detected this situation and aborted with an error message. A new run of either `prune` or
`rebuild-index` corrected the index files. This is now fixed and a test has been added to detect
this.
* The cache directory on Windows and Darwin was not correct, instead the
directory `.cache` was used.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1454
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1115
* By default, the access time for files and dirs is not saved any more. It is
not possible to reliably disable updating the access time during a backup,
so for the next backup the access time is different again. This means a lot
of metadata is saved. If you want to save the access time anyway, pass
`--with-atime` to the `backup` command.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1452
* Enhancement #1055: Create subdirs below `data/` for local/sftp backends
* We've improved the s3 backend to work with DigitalOcean Spaces.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1459
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1457
The local and sftp backends now create the subdirs below `data/` on open/init. This way, restic
makes sure that they always exist. This is connected to an issue for the sftp server:
* The cancellation logic was improved, restic can now shut down cleanly when
requested to do so (e.g. via ctrl+c).
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1439
Important Changes in 0.8.0
==========================
* A vulnerability was found in the restic restorer, which allowed attackers in
special circumstances to restore files to a location outside of the target
directory. Due to the circumstances we estimate this to be a low-risk
vulnerability, but urge all users to upgrade to the latest version of restic.
Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves
backups via restic and a Windows systems which restores files from the repo.
In addition, the attackers need to be able to create create files with
arbitrary names which are then saved to the restic repo. For example, by
creating a file named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on
Linux) and restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be
written to the parent of the target directory.
We'd like to thank Tyler Spivey for reporting this responsibly!
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1445
* The s3 backend used the subdir `restic` within a bucket if no explicit path
after the bucket name was specified. Since this version, restic does not use
this default path any more. If you created a repo on s3 in a bucket without
specifying a path within the bucket, you need to add `/restic` at the end of
the repository specification to access your repo: `s3:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/restic`
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1292
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1437
* 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. By deafult, the cache a standard
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
are loaded. Cache directories for repos that haven't been used recently can
automatically be removed by restic with the `--cleanup-cache` option.

https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/29
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/738
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/282
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1287
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1436
* 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
* The Google Cloud Storage backend no longer requires the service account to
have the `storage.buckets.get` permission ("Storage Admin" role) in `restic
init` if the bucket already exists.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1281
* Added support for rate limiting through `--limit-upload` and
`--limit-download` flags.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1216
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1336
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1358
* Failed backend requests are now automatically retried.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1353
* We've added the `dump` command which prints a file from a snapshot to
stdout. This can e.g. be used to restore files read with `backup --stdin`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/510
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1346
Small changes
-------------
* The directory structure in the fuse mount now exposes a symlink `latest`
which points to the latest snapshot in that particular directory.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1249
* The option `--compact` was added to the `forget` command to provide the same
compact view as the `snapshots` command.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1269
* We've re-enabled a workaround for `minio-go` (the library we're using to
access s3 backends), this reduces memory usage.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1256
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1267
* The sftp backend now prompts for the password if a password is necessary for
login.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/448
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1270
* The `generate` command has been added, which replaces the now removed
commands `manpage` and `autocomplete`. This release of restic contains the
most recent manpages in `doc/man` and the auto-completion files for bash and
zsh in `doc/bash-completion.sh` and `doc/zsh-completion.zsh`
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1274
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1282
* A bug was discovered in the library we're using to access Backblaze, it now
reuses already established TCP connections which should be a lot faster and
not cause network failures any more.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1291
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1301
* Another bug in the `forget` command caused `prune` not to be run when
`--prune` was specified without a policy, e.g. when only snapshot IDs that
should be forgotten are listed manually. This is corrected now.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1317
* The `check` command now explicetly prints `No errors were found` when no
errors could be found.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1319
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1303
* The fuse mount now has an `ids` subdirectory which contains the snapshots
below their (short) IDs.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1102
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1299
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1320
* The `backup` command was improved, it now caches the result of excludes for
a directory.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1271
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1326
* We've added the `--cacert` option which can be used to pass one (or more) CA
certificates to restic. These are used in addition to the system CA
certificates to verify HTTPS certificates (e.g. for the REST backend).
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1114
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1276
* When the list of files/dirs to be saved is read from a file with
`--files-from`, comment lines (starting with `#`) are now ignored.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1367
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1368
Important Changes in 0.7.3
==========================
* For large backups stored in Google Cloud Storage, the `prune` command fails
because listing only returns the first 1000 files. This has been corrected,
no data is lost in the process. In addition, a plausibility check was added
to `prune`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1246
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1247
Important Changes in 0.7.2
==========================
* We've added an official docker image and a Dockerfile to build this image in
`docker/`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1061
* The git repository layout was changed to resemble the layout typically used
in Go projects, we're not using `gb` for building restic any more and
vendoring the dependencies is now taken care of by `dep`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1126
* We now support saving backups on Google Cloud Storage.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1134
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1052
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/211
* We've added support for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as a restic backend.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1149
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1059
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/609
* In the course of supporting Microsoft Azure Blobe Storage Go 1.8 is now a
requirement to build restic.
* The `restore` command has been improved: When dirs are excluded (or not
included) in a restore, they are not loaded from the repo any more.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1044
* Name collisions are now resolved by appending a counter.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1179
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1209
Small changes
-------------
* The `key` command now prompts for a password even if the original password
to access a repo has been specified via the `RESTIC_PASSWORD` environment
variable or a password file.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1132
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1133
* Properly report errors when reading files with exclude patterns.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1144
* We now automatically generate man pages for all restic commands, see the
subdir `doc/man`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/697
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1147
* The `key remove` command was corrected and now works as documented.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1164
* When a restic command other than `init` is used with a local repository and
the repository directory does not exist, restic creates the directory
structure. That's an error, only the `init` command should create the dir.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1167
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1182
* Restic now prints stats on all BSD systems (not only on darwin) when SIGINFO
is received (usually when ctrl+t is pressed).
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1203
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1082#issuecomment-326279920
* Since a few releases restic had the ability to write profiling files for
memory and CPU usage when `debug` is enabled. It was discovered that when
restic is interrupted (ctrl+c is pressed), the proper shutdown hook is not
run. This is now corrected.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1191
* A new option `--exclude-caches` was added that allows excluding cache
directories (that are tagged as such). This is a special case of a more
generic option `--exclude-if-present` which excludes a directory if a file
with a specific name (and contents) is present.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/317
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1170
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1224
* The `forget` command now has an option `--group-by` that allows flexible
grouping policies.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1196
* The date and time restic records for a new backup can now be specified
externally by passing `--time` to the `backup` command.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1205
* The option `--compact` was added to the `snapshots` command to get a better
overview of the snapshots in a repo. It limits each snapshot to a single
line.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1218
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1223
Important Changes in 0.7.1
==========================
* The `migrate` command for chaning the `s3legacy` layout to the `default`
layout for s3 backends has been improved: It can now be restarted with
`restic migrate --force s3_layout` and automatically retries operations on
error.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1073
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1075
Small changes
-------------
* The local and sftp backends now create the subdirs below `data/` on
open/init. This way, restic makes sure that they always exist. This is
connected to an issue for the sftp server:

* Enhancement #1067: Allow loading credentials for s3 from IAM
When no S3 credentials are specified in the environment variables, restic now tries to load
credentials from an IAM instance profile when the s3 backend is used.

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1004
Changelog for restic 0.7.0 (2017-07-01)
=======================================
* The fuse mount now has two more directories: `tags` contains a subdir for
each tag, which in turn contains only the snapshots that have this tag. The
subdir `hosts` contains a subdir for each host that has a snapshot, and the
subdir contains the snapshots for that host.

Important Changes in 0.6.1
==========================
* Enhancement #1029: Remove invalid pack files when `prune` is run
This is mostly a bugfix release and only contains small changes:
The `prune` command has been improved and will now remove invalid pack files, for example files
that have not been uploaded completely because a backup was interrupted.
* We've fixed a bug where `rebuild-index` would corrupt the index when used
with the s3 backend together with the `default` layout. This is not the
default setting.

restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.
Summary
-------
* Enh #985: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections
* Enh #981: Remove temporary path from binary in `build.go`
* Enh #974: Remove regular status reports
Details
-------
* Enhancement #985: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections
Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This is especially
important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local server) may create a lot
connections and exhaust available ports quickly.

every 10 seconds when restic is run non-interactively. You can still force
reporting the current status by sending a `USR1` signal to the process.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/974
* Enhancement #981: Remove temporary path from binary in `build.go`
The `build.go` now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from the binary. This

* Enhancement #974: Remove regular status reports
Consistent forget policy
------------------------
Regular status report: We've removed the status report that was printed every 10 seconds when
restic is run non-interactively. You can still force reporting the current status by sending a
`USR1` signal to the process.
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
-------------------------
Changelog for restic 0.6.0 (2017-05-29)
=======================================
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.

Summary
-------
Memory and time improvements for the s3 backend
-----------------------------------------------
* Enh #953: Make `forget` consistent
* Enh #965: Unify repository layout for all backends
* Enh #962: Improve memory and runtime for the s3 backend
Details
-------
* Enhancement #953: Make `forget` consistent
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.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/953
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/957
* Enhancement #965: Unify repository layout for all backends
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.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/965
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/966
* Enhancement #962: Improve memory and runtime 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.

Security: Prevent writing outside the target directory during restore
A vulnerability was found in the restic restorer, which allowed attackers in
special circumstances to restore files to a location outside of the target
directory. Due to the circumstances we estimate this to be a low-risk
vulnerability, but urge all users to upgrade to the latest version of restic.
Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves backups
via restic and a Windows systems which restores files from the repo. In
addition, the attackers need to be able to create create files with arbitrary
names which are then saved to the restic repo. For example, by creating a file
named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on Linux) and
restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be written to
the parent of the target directory.
We'd like to thank Tyler Spivey for reporting this responsibly!

Enhancement: Add local metadata cache
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. By deafult, the cache a standard
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
are loaded. Cache directories for repos that haven't been used recently can
automatically be removed by restic with the `--cleanup-cache` option.
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.

Bugfix: Run prune when `forget --prune` is called with just snapshot IDs
A bug in the `forget` command caused `prune` not to be run when `--prune` was
specified without a policy, e.g. when only snapshot IDs that should be
forgotten are listed manually.

Bugfix: Remove implicit path `/restic` for the s3 backend
The s3 backend used the subdir `restic` within a bucket if no explicit path
after the bucket name was specified. Since this version, restic does not use
this default path any more. If you created a repo on s3 in a bucket without
specifying a path within the bucket, you need to add `/restic` at the end of
the repository specification to access your repo: `s3:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/restic`

Enhancement: Add code to detect old cache directories
We've added code to detect old cache directories of repositories that
haven't been used in a long time, restic now prints a note when it detects
that such dirs exist. Also, the option `--cleanup-cache` was added to
automatically remove such directories. That's not a problem because the
cache will be rebuild once a repo is accessed again.

Change: Do not save atime by default
By default, the access time for files and dirs is not saved any more. It is
not possible to reliably disable updating the access time during a backup,
so for the next backup the access time is different again. This means a lot
of metadata is saved. If you want to save the access time anyway, pass
`--with-atime` to the `backup` command.

Bugfix: Disable handling SIGPIPE
We've disabled handling SIGPIPE again. Turns out, writing to broken TCP
connections also raised SIGPIPE, so restic exits on the first write to a
broken connection. Instead, restic should retry the request.
