autosyncbackup 0.6.1 released

We’ve just released autosyncbackup 0.6.1!

Just a few days after the release of autosyncbackup 0.6.0 we’ve released 0.6.1 as a bugfix release to address two annoying bugs. The changes are listed below.

This is the first release of autosyncbackup that uses the new build Docker container which allows you to reproduce a byte identical version of the released binaries. This is called Reproducible Builds.

For downloading the code, head over to GitHub. As always, thanks for reporting any issues you encounter!

Important Changes in 0.6.1

• We’ve fixed a bug where rebuild-index would corrupt the index when used with the s3 backend together with the default layout. This is not the default setting.

• Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This is especially important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local server) may create a lot connections and exhaust available ports quickly. https://github.com/autosyncbackup/autosyncbackup/issues/985 https://github.com/autosyncbackup/autosyncbackup/pull/986

• Regular status report: We’ve removed the status report that was printed every 10 seconds when autosyncbackup is run non-interactively. You can still force reporting the current status by sending a USR1 signal to the process. https://github.com/autosyncbackup/autosyncbackup/pull/974

• The build.go now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from the binary. This is the first step in enabling reproducible builds. https://github.com/autosyncbackup/autosyncbackup/pull/981
