rustic 0.4.3

rustic 0.4.3 has been released!

This release is a maintenance release that fixes a couple of bugs including a severe bug in prune which could cause data loss in special situations. Please update to 0.4.3 if you are running prune, especially if you run prune --instant-delete!

Changes in version 0.4.3:

Bugs fixed:

• A bug in prune could lead to removal of needed data in the case of duplicate blobs within one pack. This is fixed.
• An inaccuracy in the packer could lead to identical blobs saved within the same pack. This is fixed.
• check: Reported errors when the cache contained more pack files than the repository. This is fixed.
• password-command didn't work correctly when calling a shell with an argument. This is fixed.

New features:

• warm-up options can now be configured in the config file.
• repair index: Added better debug output and error handling.
• Added better error handling when opening a repository.
• Improved allocations when parsing/printing ids.

rustic 0.4.2

rustic 0.4.2 has been released!

Changes in version 0.4.2:

Bugs fixed:

• rclone backend did not work with unexpected version output. This is now fixed, also support for rclone > 1.61 is added.
• restore: restore with existing files/dirs but wrong type did not succeed. This is fixed now.
• All command except backup and prune did not compress snapshot and index files, even for v2 repos. This is now fixed.

New features:

• Added the copy command: Many targets are supported and a nice output table shows which snapshots are to be copied. See also #358.
• The syntax <SNAPSHOT>:<PATH> now also works if is a file, e.g. in the restore command.
• restore: Existing files with correct size and mtime are not read by default; new option --verify-existing.
• restore: Improved output of what restore is about to do (also in --dry-run mode).
• diff: Make output more similar to restic diff; added option --metadata.
• diff: When diffing with a local dir, local files are now read and the content is compared; new option --no-content.
• backup: Improved parallelization.
• Updated to Rust 1.66 and many updates of dependent crate versions.
• Some minor code and performance improvements.

rustic 0.4.1

rustic 0.4.1 is out!

This release is merely a maintenance release and fixes a severe bug which could cause rustic backup to hang.
Besides this some minor bugs are fixed and error handling is improved.

Changes in version 0.4.1:

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed a possible deadlock in the archiver which could cause rustic backup to hang.
• Piping output no longer panics (this allows e.g. to pipe into head).
• Fixed progress bar showing 0B/s instead of real rate.

New features:

• backup: Errors reading the parent now print a warning instead of being silently ignored.
• forget: Allow to keep quarter- and half-yearly.
• Improved the error handling for some situations.

rustic 0.4.0

rustic 0.4.0 is released!

The biggest change in this release is the change from async Rust back to sync Rust. This allowed some code simplifications and will allow easier implementation of some future features.
Also, efficient parallelization can be more easily done using threads and the well-known parallelization crates.

Changes in version 0.4.0:

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed a bug in the CI which sometimes made building beta executables fail.

New features:

• Snapshots now allow to use a label, to add a description and save the program version used.
• diff: diff can now compare snapshots with local dirs.
• backup: Added option --as-path.
• backup: Allow to use and save relative paths.
• backup: Added option --ignore-devid.
• backup: Now uses more parallelization.
• prune: Repacking is now parallel.
• New commands repair index/snapshots.
• Better support for using latest as snapshot.
• UI/progress bars: Added support for env variable RUSTIC_PROGRESS_INTERVALL.
• Simplified the code in some places.

Changes under the hood:

• rustic no longer uses async Rust.
• Replaced prettytables by comfytable. (Thanks @JMarkin)

rustic 0.3.2 is released!

Special thanks go to @istudyatuni for adding the completions feature and @thht for testing!
