Vorta Changelog

What's new in Vorta 0.9.1

Jan 11, 2024
  • This is the first release of our 0.9 branch. Work on this started in early 2023 and many new features and improvements were implemented since then. For details see previous pre-releases. Here just some highlights:
  • Profile Sidebar and New Setting Interface by @bigtedde in #1809
  • Exclude GUI by @diivi in #1846
  • Use Qt6 for the interface. #1685, by @i1sm3ky
  • Integration testing with Borg and increased coverage by @jetchirag and @bigtedde

New in Vorta 0.9.1 Beta 3 (Dec 2, 2023)

  • We are almost ready for the first 0.9 release. This beta finally merges the new GUI to better manage file exclusions by @diivi. Some things you can now do around exclusions:
  • We ship exclusion presets for common use cases. Currently there are just a few, but we hope to add more over time. PRs welcome, if you have good exclusion lists around a specific topic.
  • Add your own exclusions and enable/disable them individually
  • You can always view the final exclusion list under Preview
  • Breaking changes:
  • Your existing exclusions can be found in the Raw tab. They will continue to be used as-is.
  • The "Exclude if present" feature isn't implemented in the new exclusion dialog yet. If you use this feature, you can manually add --exclude-if-present .nobackup in Schedule -> Shell commands -> Extra arguments for borg create.
  • What's Changed:
  • Loosen platformdirs dependency by @stefanor in #1843
  • Backup settings.db before migrations by @AdwaitSalankar in #1848
  • Exclude GUI by @diivi in #1846
  • New Contributors:
  • @stefanor made their first contribution in #1843
  • @AdwaitSalankar made their first contribution in #1848

New in Vorta 0.9.1 Beta 2 (Oct 29, 2023)

  • PR: Implement Profile Sidebar and New Setting Interface by @bigtedde in #1809
  • Update notarization for use with notarytool by @m3nu in #1831

New in Vorta 0.9.1 Beta 1 (Sep 29, 2023)

  • I'm proud to release the second beta version of our new 0.9 branch. With Google Summer of Code at full steam over the summer, the team got a lot done, with a few major features still pending for the next beta.
  • Thanks are also due to our mentors, who guided contributors while working on their pull requests.
  • Please share your feedback here, so we can keep improving this branch until the final release.
  • BREAKING CHANGES:
  • This Vorta version ships with Borg 1.2.6 (when using our macOS app), which fixes an issue with data authentication. So you may get an error saying "Data integrity error: Archive authentication did not verify". In that case, at a minimum, if you trust the repository, you need to run the following upgrade steps. Full details are described in Borg's release notes:
  • Copy the repository URL. You can do this in Vorta's Repository tab using the Copy to clipboard button next to the repository selector.
  • Ensure you have the repo passphrase ready. Vorta would keep it in the OS' keychain usually.
  • Run this in the terminal: BORG_WORKAROUNDS=ignore_invalid_archive_tam borg upgrade --archives-tam $REPO_URL
  • Selected major features and improvements
  • You can now give names to repos to manage them more easily. By @diivi (#1665)
  • There are now separate unit tests and integration tests with live Borg installs, as well as higher test coverage. By @jetchirag and @bigtedde
  • Password entry is now done with a reusable widget. By @jetchirag, #1662
  • Vorta now uses Qt6 for the interface. #1685, by @i1sm3ky
