Release 1.4.0

borgbackup 1.4.0

First release for the new 1.4-maint branch.

borg 1.4 is kind of a refreshed 1.2 with mostly the same features and behavior, but a few bigger changes that could introduce issues and thus were not suitable for just releasing them as 1.2.x, but rather needed some testing first.

Long changelog:

https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.0/changes.html#version-1-4-0-2024-07-03

Short borg 1.4 overview (from a borg 1.2 perspective):

https://www.borgbackup.org/releases/borg-1.4.html

Installation

If you use pip to install this, use: pip install "borgbackup==1.4.0"

For other installation methods and more details, please see: https://borgbackup.org/

See also the 00_README.txt file in the assets list below for a description of the available "fat binary" downloads.

Release 1.4.0rc1 - test it now please!

borgbackup 1.4.0rc1

First release candidate for the new 1.4-maint branch and potentially last chance for pre-release testing (you can help testing by using this additionally to your production backups).

borg 1.4 is kind of a refreshed 1.2 with mostly the same features and behavior, but a few bigger changes that could introduce issues and thus were not suitable for just releasing them as 1.2.x, but rather need some testing first.

Especially authors of scripts, wrappers, automations and GUI frontends may want to look at BORG_EXIT_CODES.
Also, users of filesystem ACLs on Linux, FreeBSD and macOS should thoroughly test this, there were major changes in the ACL code.

All stuff listed in the changelog should get practically tested, especially correct behavior with BORG_EXIT_CODES=modern set and in error/warning conditions and backup / restore of ACLs.
