1.11.2 (2026-01-27)
Happy to announce the 1.11.2 bug patch release, this includes a number of fixes which polish up Backrest's UI rewrite onto the Chakra framework.
This release includes significant polishing work on the translations that were introduced in v1.11 and a number of UI tweaks. For users wishing to change the translation language, the display language is now user configurable in the "Settings" menu.
The windows installer now bundles restic.exe at the cost that the portable windows build will no longer automatically download restic, on Windows please either use the installer or manually download a restic release and place it alongside backrest.
