I'm proud to release the second beta version of our new 0.9 branch. With Google Summer of Code at full steam over the summer, the team got a lot done, with a few major features still pending for the next beta.
Thanks are also due to our mentors, who guided contributors while working on their pull requests. 👏 @real-yfprojects @Hofer-Julian
Please share your feedback here, so we can keep improving this branch until the final release.
Breaking changes
This Vorta version ships with Borg 1.2.6 (when using our macOS app), which fixes an issue with data authentication. So you may get an error saying "Data integrity error: Archive authentication did not verify". In that case, at a minimum, if you trust the repository, you need to run the following upgrade steps. Full details are described in Borg's release notes:
- Copy the repository URL. You can do this in Vorta's Repository tab using the Copy to clipboard button next to the repository selector.
- Ensure you have the repo passphrase ready. Vorta would keep it in the OS' keychain usually.
- Run this in the terminal:
BORG_WORKAROUNDS=ignore_invalid_archive_tam borg upgrade --archives-tam $REPO_URL
