Details
-------
* Bugfix #2742: Improve error handling for rclone and REST backend over HTTP2
When retrieving data from the rclone / REST backend while also using HTTP2 restic did not detect
when no data was returned at all. This could cause for example the `check` command to report the
following error:
Pack ID does not match, want [...], got e3b0c442
This has been fixed by correctly detecting and retrying the incomplete download.

https://forum.restic.net/t/http2-stream-closed-connection-reset-context-canceled/3743/10
* Bugfix #3111: Fix terminal output redirection for PowerShell
When redirecting the output of restic using PowerShell on Windows, the output contained
terminal escape characters. This has been fixed by properly detecting the terminal type.
In addition, the mintty terminal now shows progress output for the backup command.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3111
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3325
* Bugfix #3214: Treat an empty password as a fatal error for repository init
When attempting to initialize a new repository, if an empty password was supplied, the
repository would be created but the init command would return an error with a stack trace. Now,
if an empty password is provided, it is treated as a fatal error, and no repository is created.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3214
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3283
* Bugfix #3267: `copy` failed to copy snapshots in rare cases
The `copy` command could in rare cases fail with the error message `SaveTree(...) returned
unexpected id ...`. This has been fixed.
On Linux/BSDs, the error could be caused by backing up symlinks with non-UTF-8 target paths.
Note that, due to limitations in the repository format, these are not stored properly and
should be avoided if possible.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3267
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3310
* Bugfix #3184: `backup --quiet` no longer prints status information
A regression in the latest restic version caused the output of `backup --quiet` to contain
large amounts of backup progress information when run using an interactive terminal. This is
fixed now.
A workaround for this bug is to run restic as follows: `restic backup --quiet [..] | cat -`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3184
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3186
* Bugfix #3296: Fix crash of `check --read-data-subset=x%` run for an empty repository
The command `restic check --read-data-subset=x%` crashed when run for an empty repository.
This has been fixed.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3296
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3309
* Bugfix #3302: Fix `fdopendir: not a directory` error for local backend
The `check`, `list packs`, `prune` and `rebuild-index` commands failed for the local backend
when the `data` folder in the repository contained files. This has been fixed.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3302
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3308
* Bugfix #3334: Print `created new cache` message only on a terminal
The message `created new cache` was printed even when the output wasn't a terminal. That broke
piping `restic dump` output to tar or zip if cache directory didn't exist. The message is now
only printed on a terminal.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3334
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3343
* Bugfix #3380: Fix crash of `backup --exclude='**'`
The exclude filter `**`, which excludes all files, caused restic to crash. This has been
corrected.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3380
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3393
* Bugfix #3305: Fix possibly missing backup summary of JSON output in case of error
When using `--json` output it happened from time to time that the summary output was missing in
case an error occurred. This has been fixed.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3305
* Bugfix #3439: Correctly handle download errors during `restore`
Due to a regression in restic 0.12.0, the `restore` command in some cases did not retry download
errors and only printed a warning. This has been fixed by retrying incomplete data downloads.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3439
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3449
* Change #3247: Empty files now have size of 0 in `ls --json` output
The `ls --json` command used to omit the sizes of empty files in its output. It now reports a size
of zero explicitly for regular files, while omitting the size field for all other types.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3247
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3257
* Enhancement #2780: Add release binaries for s390x architecture on Linux
We've added release binaries for Linux using the s390x architecture.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2780
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3452
* Enhancement #3293: Add `--repository-file2` option to `init` and `copy` command
The `init` and `copy` command can now be used with the `--repository-file2` option or the
`$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable. These to options are in addition to the
`--repo2` flag and allow you to read the destination repository from a file.
Using both `--repository-file` and `--repo2` options resulted in an error for the `copy` or
`init` command. The handling of this combination of options has been fixed. A workaround for
this issue is to only use `--repo` or `-r` and `--repo2` for `init` or `copy`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3293
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3294
* Enhancement #3312: Add auto-completion support for fish
The `generate` command now supports fish auto completion.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3312
* Enhancement #3336: SFTP backend now checks for disk space
Backing up over SFTP previously spewed multiple generic "failure" messages when the remote
disk was full. It now checks for disk space before writing a file and fails immediately with a "no
space left on device" message.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3336
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3345
* Enhancement #3377: Add release binaries for Apple Silicon
We've added release binaries for macOS on Apple Silicon (M1).
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3377
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3394
* Enhancement #3414: Add `--keep-within-hourly` option to restic forget
The `forget` command allowed keeping a given number of hourly backups or to keep all backups
within a given interval, but it was not possible to specify keeping hourly backups within a
given interval.
The new `--keep-within-hourly` option now offers this functionality. Similar options for
daily/weekly/monthly/yearly are also implemented, the new options are:
--keep-within-hourly <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-daily <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-weekly
<1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-monthly <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-yearly <1y2m3d4h>
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3414
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3416
https://forum.restic.net/t/forget-policy/4014/11
* Enhancement #3456: Support filtering and specifying untagged snapshots
It was previously not possible to specify an empty tag with the `--tag` and `--keep-tag`
options. This has now been fixed, such that `--tag ''` and `--keep-tag ''` now matches
snapshots without tags. This allows e.g. the `snapshots` and `forget` commands to only
operate on untagged snapshots.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3456
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3457
* Enhancement #3167: Allow specifying limit of `snapshots` list
The `--last` option allowed limiting the output of the `snapshots` command to the latest
snapshot for each host. The new `--latest n` option allows limiting the output to the latest `n`
snapshots.
This change deprecates the option `--last` in favour of `--latest 1`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3167
* Enhancement #3426: Optimize read performance of mount command
Reading large files in a mounted repository may be up to five times faster. This improvement
primarily applies to repositories stored at a backend that can be accessed with low latency,
like e.g. the local backend.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3426
* Enhancement #3427: `find --pack` fallback to index if data file is missing
When investigating a repository with missing data files, it might be useful to determine
affected snapshots before running `rebuild-index`. Previously, `find --pack pack-id`
returned no data as it required accessing the data file. Now, if the necessary data is still
available in the repository index, it gets retrieved from there.
The command now also supports looking up multiple pack files in a single `find` run.
