๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Nessie release
On this day in 1933, Hugh Gray was walking with his dog along the shore of Scotlandโs Loch Ness, near the mouth of the River Foyers, when he saw an object of considerable dimensions. Luckily, Gray had a Kodak box camera with him and took several photos. Only one showed something: Gray had taken the first photo of the Loch Ness monster. Or had he?
resticprofile v0.34.0 (2026-11-12)
This release adds support for restic 0.19, native zsh completion, basic math functions in configuration templates, and fixes for crond scheduling and battery detection on macOS 27.
New Features
Restic 0.19
- Support for restic 0.19: the new commands and flags from restic 0.19 are now recognised in the configuration.
Math in templates
- New template functions:
addInt,subInt,modInt,addFloat,subFloatandintare available in configuration templates. - For example, checking one seventh of the repository each day is now simply
read-data-subset = "{{ int .Now.Weekday | addInt 1 }}/7".
Shell completions
- Native zsh completion: the zsh completion script is now a native zsh one, and shows a description next to each completion.
- bash: completing a profile name no longer adds a space after the
.separator.
Bug Fixes
- crond scheduling: fixed schedules that combine a day of the month with a day of the week. Cron runs such an entry when either field matches, so the job ran more often than requested; the generated crontab line now tests the day of the week explicitly.
- Battery detection on macOS 27: fixed battery detection, which was broken on macOS 27.
- zsh completion: no trailing space is added after the profile prefix.
- fish completion: fixed the completion script for fish v3.
- Docker: the Docker rebuild workflow now selects the latest release tag.
Documentation
- Added a Watchgoose example to the HTTP hooks page.
- Added a
CONTRIBUTING.mdfile. - Links in the documentation are now checked automatically.
Maintenance and Toolchain
- Upgraded to Go 1.27
- Upgraded
x/cryptoand other dependencies - Docker images are now built with Docker buildx instead of GoReleaser
- Tests now run on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD virtual machines
- Internal refactoring of terminal access, and reorganised GitHub workflows
