rustic v0.10.1

[aawsome]

Hello rusticeans,

we are happy to release rustic 0.10.1. This is a rather small bugfix release; however few improvements have been added including

• Snapshots can now be also identified using latest~N to get the Nth-latest snapshot. Note that this does not yet work with all commands, we are working on it to roll it out everywhere.
• filter-last has been added to filter the N latest snapshots, e.g. when grouping snapshots.
• The command rewrite has been added. Note that this is not yet able to rewrite snapshot trees, but currently only snapshot metadata information like time, label, tags etc. Also the tag command now also changes tags and can be fully replaced by rewrite.
• Environment variables are now respected in the config profiles, see the PR below for more details.

Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed with code, issues or discussions!

rustic using rclone backend:

$ rustic --version
rustic 0.10.1

$ rustic snapshots
error: rustic-rs fatal error: parse error: Invalid escape sequence: \x

but v0.10.0 works

$ rustic-0.10.0 --version
rustic v0.10.0


$ rustic-0.10.0 snapshots
[INFO] using config ./rustic.toml
...
55 snapshot(s)

total: 55 snapshot(s)

I can not figure out what the issue is. Any idea how I can get some more debug info here?

BTW - it is this specific rclone remote as all works fine with other remotes (also served by rclone).

I think I have found the culprit. Nothing to do with rclone. It is simple comment line in rustic.toml

one of the comment lines (from some old experiments) is:

# to suppress noise like "NOTICE: Unsolicited response received on idle HTTP channel starting with "V\xc4\\\x9.....".

it breaks rustic v0.10.1. But all works with v0.10.0. Removing this line fixes the problem.

Looks like something changed with toml parsing and what used to be innocent comment now can trip rustic.

Thanks @kapitainsky, i think this is the same problem as in #1598.
Sorry, this seems to be a regression we weren't aware of when merging #1577.

FYI - rustic 0.10.2 fixes this problem

Thank you.
