Full changelog

Restic has been upgraded to v0.19.0. Existing repositories do not require a migration. Check restic’s release notes

New features

  • Users can now create, view, and revoke API keys from account settings. Keys can have expiration dates, and can authenticate API requests for programmatic use or third party integrations. Thanks @nguyenquyhy for the help
  • Password login can now be disabled for SSO-focused deployments. @MannXo
  • Repository snapshot tables now support shift-click range selection for faster bulk snapshot actions. @Rajdave69

Improvements

  • Mirror/copy jobs now receive compatible custom Restic parameters from the parent backup setup, for example flags such as --pack-size.
  • Backup execution is less likely to contend with the UI on low-CPU systems.

Bug fixes

  • Backup retention policy fields can now be cleared when editing a schedule.
  • SMTP host values are trimmed before saving, avoiding accidental whitespace in notification settings.
  • Restoring files whose names contain square brackets now works correctly.
  • Backups no longer surface warning messages when Restic exits successfully with code 0
  • Restore trackpad swipe-back navigation @lyallcooper
