restic 0.6.1

This is mostly a bugfix release and only contains small changes:

• The release binaries are now built in a reproducible way, see https://github.com/restic/builder

• 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.

• 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. #985 #986

• 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. #974

• The build.go now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from the binary. This is the first step in enabling reproducible builds. #981

restic 0.6.0

After two months of work we're proud to announce restic v0.6.0. This release contains many bug fixes and several improvements for the user interface, the most important changes are listed below (and also contained in the CHANGELOG.md.

Important Changes in 0.6.0

Consistent forget policy

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. #957 #953

Unified repository layout

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. #966 #965

Memory and time improvements 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. #962 #960 #946 #938 #883

restic 0.4.0

We're proud to release restic version 0.4.0. This release fixes a few bugs, among others a memory leak in the fuse mount module. Overall, the memory consumption during most operations is reduced.

restic 0.3.0

Introduction
