Details
-------
* Bugfix #2135: Return error when no bytes could be read from stdin
We assume that users reading backup data from stdin want to know when no data could be read, so now
restic returns an error when `backup --stdin` is called but no bytes could be read. Usually,
this means that an earlier command in a pipe has failed. The documentation was amended and now
recommends setting the `pipefail` option (`set -o pipefail`).

* Bugfix #2181: Don't cancel timeout after 30 seconds for self-update
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2181
* Bugfix #2203: Fix reading passwords from stdin
Passwords for the `init`, `key add`, and `key passwd` commands can now be read from
non-terminal stdin.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2203
* Bugfix #2224: Don't abort the find command when a tree can't be loaded
Change the find command so that missing trees don't result in a crash. Instead, the error is
logged to the debug log, and the tree ID is displayed along with the snapshot it belongs to. This
makes it possible to recover repositories that are missing trees by forgetting the snapshots
they are used in.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2224
* Enhancement #1895: Add case insensitive include & exclude options
The backup and restore commands now have --iexclude and --iinclude flags as case insensitive
variants of --exclude and --include.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1895
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2032
* Enhancement #1937: Support streaming JSON output for backup
We've added support for getting machine-readable status output during backup, just pass the
flag `--json` for `restic backup` and restic will output a stream of JSON objects which contain
the current progress.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1937
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1944
* Enhancement #2155: Add Openstack application credential auth for Swift
Since Openstack Queens Identity (auth V3) service supports an application credential auth
method. It allows to create a technical account with the limited roles. This commit adds an
application credential authentication method for the Swift backend.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2155
* Enhancement #2184: Add --json support to forget command
The forget command now supports the --json argument, outputting the information about what is
(or would-be) kept and removed from the repository.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2184
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2185
* Enhancement #2037: Add group-by option to snapshots command
We have added an option to group the output of the snapshots command, similar to the output of the
forget command. The option has been called "--group-by" and accepts any combination of the
values "host", "paths" and "tags", separated by commas. Default behavior (not specifying
--group-by) has not been changed. We have added support of the grouping to the JSON output.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2037
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2087
* Enhancement #2124: Ability to dump folders to tar via stdout
We've added the ability to dump whole folders to stdout via the `dump` command. Restic now
requires at least Go 1.10 due to a limitation of the standard library for Go <= 1.9.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2123
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2124
* Enhancement #2139: Return error if no bytes could be read for `backup --stdin`
When restic is used to backup the output of a program, like `mysqldump | restic backup --stdin`,
it now returns an error if no bytes could be read at all. This catches the failure case when
`mysqldump` failed for some reason and did not output any data to stdout.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2139
* Enhancement #2205: Add --ignore-inode option to backup cmd
This option handles backup of virtual filesystems that do not keep fixed inodes for files, like
Fuse-based, pCloud, etc. Ignoring inode changes allows to consider the file as unchanged if
last modification date and size are unchanged.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1631
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2205
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2047
* Enhancement #2220: Add config option to set S3 storage class
The `s3.storage-class` option can be passed to restic (using `-o`) to specify the storage
class to be used for S3 objects created by restic.
The storage class is passed as-is to S3, so it needs to be understood by the API. On AWS, it can be
one of `STANDARD`, `STANDARD_IA`, `ONEZONE_IA`, `INTELLIGENT_TIERING` and
`REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`. If unspecified, the default storage class is used (`STANDARD` on
AWS).
You can mix storage classes in the same bucket, and the setting isn't stored in the restic
repository, so be sure to specify it with each command that writes to S3.

Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves backups via restic and
a Windows systems which restores files from the repo. In addition, the attackers need to be able
to create create files with arbitrary names which are then saved to the restic repo. For
example, by creating a file named `..\test.txt` (which is a perfectly legal filename on Linux)
example, by creating a file named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on Linux)
and restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be written to the parent of
the target directory.
