2024-10-03 - 2.0.9.108_canary_2024-10-03

==========

This release is a canary release intended to be used for testing in preparation of a later stable release.

**Unlike regular canary builds, this one has a major change in the build system, so it now runs on .NET8.**

For that reason, the updater in previous canary builds does not detect this update yet, but this can be activated at a later time.

The builds are self-contained so Mono or .NET installations are not required to install.

**Important changes from last Beta**

- Updated to .NET8 with OS specific builds

- Using Kestrel as the API/UI server

- Mandatory password and new authentication scheme for server

- Settings database version updated to v8

Please see list of known issues related to .NET8/Kestrel upgrade:

https://github.com/orgs/duplicati/projects/2

# New tool to manage a running server

Due to incompatibility with `duplicati_client` a new tool is included, named `Duplicati.CommandLine.ServerUtil.exe`/`duplicati-server-util`.

# Upgrade from `v2.0.9.105`

If you are upgrading from 2.0.9.105 please see the release notes from 2.0.9.106 for how to prepare the database.

Upgrades from other versions do not need special steps.

# New experimental UI

This version features a new more modern UI based on Angular18 :tada:

Not all features are implemented just yet, so the new UI is not yet default.

The curious ones can try it by visiting `http://localhost:8200/theme.html` (or similar).

## Detailed list of changes:

- Added export feature to server-util

- Default to using .NET built-in Zip code for performance improvements

# New tool to manage a running server

Due to incompatibility with `duplicati_client` a new tool is included, named `Duplicati.CommandLine.ServerUtil.exe`/`duplicati-server-util`.

The new tool can pause/resume a backup, run a backup, change the password and more:

https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/pull/5483

# Encrypting database fields

To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials,

many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file can now be encrypted with user supplied key.

The following environment variables control the encryption options:

- `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: Provides the settings encryption key.

- `DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`: Prevents starting with a key (also supported via `--require-db-encryption-key-true`).

- `DUPLICATI__DISABLE_DB_ENCRYPTION=true`: Forces Duplicati to run without encryption (also supported via `--disable-db-encryption=true`).

If you need to change the key, you can temporarily decrypt the database by starting the server with `--disable-db-encryption`.

After starting, stop the instance again, change `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to the new key and start again without the argument, to have it re-encrypted.

To downgrade from this version, run once with `--disable-db-encryption`, and change the version number to 7, then install the previous version.

**Note for users of 2.0.9.105:** The method for extracting an encryption key from the machine seriail number did not produce secure results.

This feature has now been removed, and will prevent you from upgrading. To upgrade from 2.0.9.105, start with `--disable-db-encryption`, then exit, then upgrade to 2.0.9.106+.

Users from other versions than 2.0.9.105 will not have difficulties, and Docker users should not see any issues either.

## Detailed list of changes:

- Fixed console duration output including days

- Added blacklisting of some settings encryption keys

- Refactored the way databases are located to use shared code

- Fixed translation consistency issues, thanks @luixxiul

- Fixed missing commandline help on Windows

- Added dift support for JWT expiration

- Removed DeviceId as the source for settings encryption keys

- Fixed an issue where an authentication issue was reported as a server error

- Fixed MSI packages failing to upgrade

- Re-added the `FORSERVICE=true` flag to MSI packages

- Improved diganostics output from server-util

# Encrypting database fields

To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials,

many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file will be encrypted after running this version.

The key used to encrypt is derived from the machine serial number, so **the database cannot be decrypted on another machine**.

If your strategy relies on being able to read this database, you must take action.

These two setups are vulnerable:

- If you do not store a copy of the passphrase elsewhere

- If you make a copy of the settings database

We strongly recommend that you store a copy of the passphrase(s) securely, regardless of your setup.

If you want to choose the settings encryption key, you can set the environment variable `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to a custom value.

If you want to never use the serial number as the passphrase, set the environment

variable `DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`, which will prevent Duplicati from starting without a user provided key.

If you need to change the key, you can temporarily decrypt the database by starting the server with `--disable-db-encryption`.

After starting, stop the instance again, set `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` and start again without the argument, to have it re-encrypted.

To downgrade from this version, run once with `--disable-db-encryption`, and change the version number to 7, then install the previous version.

As always, feedback is appreciated!

- Fixed an issue where the retention value could not be saved if it was a number

- Fixed an upgrade issue where `%HOME%` would not resolve correctly on Linux

- Fixed an issue with parsing `--send-http-result-output-format`

- Updated Docker image to use environment variables and not use settings encryption by default

- Added support for pre-loading default settings on a machine or installation

This build is changes the underlying webserver to Kestrel, which is common for .NET based projects.

A big thanks to @tsuckow and @npodbielski for their contributions towards this goal.

** This build changes authentication for the WebUI **

With this build it is no longer possible to use the web-UI without a password.

If no password is set, a random password is generated.

For users activating the UI via the TrayIcon, this will automatically log in, as the TrayIcon hosts the server.

For users that rely on the WebUI without the TrayIcon, as special link is emitted during startup that allows login.

For both cases, the password can be (re-)set with `--webservice-password=...` as a startup commandline argument.

## Detailed lits of changes:

- Updated libraries: Mega, SharpAESCrypt, Storj, FluentFTP

- Updated Webserver to Kestrel, thanks @tsuckow and @npodbielski

## These are some of the major changes that can cause surprises, so please review and see if any are relevant for your usage:

- Changed runtime to .NET8, shipping with dependencies, no more Mono or .NET install required

- Changed from portable executable to operating system and CPU architecture dependent packages

- Server database with SQLite is no longer "encrypted" with RC4, running a new canary or later will decrypt the database

- The executable `Duplicati.Library.AutoUpdater.exe` is renamed to `Duplicati.CommandLine.AutoUpdater.exe` and has limited functionality

- The Windows MSI installer has been reduced, it offers essentially no options for now and no UI

- The updater has been rewritten to rely on installing the packages, instead of having the "in-place" updates

- There are now longer a spawned secondary process

- The updates folder can be deleted

- Installing an update now requires manually downloading and running the installer (you still get a notice)

- To fit better with non-Windows systems the executables on non-Windows are all lower-case and prefixed with `duplicati`:

- `Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe` -> `duplicati`

- `Duplicati.CommandLine.exe` -> `duplicati-cli`

- `Duplicati.RecoveryTool.exe` -> `duplicati-recovery-tool`

- ... and similar for others

## More detailed list of changes:

- More than 300 commits for the change to .NET8, credits to @mnaiman, @tsuckow, @Jojo-1000, @npodbielski and many others

- These commits were done over many years an accumulated, so here is a summary

- Added microfix that adds a missing default value to the backup reports.

2024-04-03 - 2.0.7.102_canary_2024-04-03

==========

This build is intended to be the last build that uses .Net4 (aka .Net Desktop).

Future builds are expected to use .Net8 and will require a manual update,

because the .Net builds are no longer operating system independent.

The upside is that there are fewer dependencies (no more Mono),

and execution times are greatly improved.

2023-05-25 - 2.0.7.1_beta_2023-05-25

==========

After almost 2 years, a new Beta has taken its time, but it’s finally

there. It’s a roll-up of all the fixes since the last beta build and is

expected to cause very few issues when upgrading. This release is almost

identical to Canary 106.

It involves a better UI for dark mode, better support for Dropbox,

Jottacloud, S3, Tencent backends, add IDrive backend, TLS modernization,

bug fixes, upgrades to libraries.

Points of attention:

- database upgrade from 11 to 12: Downgrade from this version requires

manually adjusting the version

number in the database. The additions can be re-applied if the database is

upgraded again later.

2021-05-03 - 2.0.6.1_beta_2021-05-03

==========

## First beta build in over a year!

We have been hard at work adding new features and fixing issues. This beta release is a roll-up of all the fixes since the last beta build and is expected to cause very few issues when upgrading. This release is based on 2.0.6.0_experimental.

A big thanks to all Duplicati contributors, supporters, fans and users for keeping the project evolving and improving.

### New in this version

- Added Tardigrade backend

- Added Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS)

- More Docker image versions

- Improved long-path support on Windows

We changed some larger things that you should be aware of when upgrading.

### The SSH backend has been updated

This update increases the security by prefering stronger encryption algorithms.

However, this _can_ cause failing backups as the host key is reported as "changed".

If this happens, edit the backup and update the host key.

### Database version update from v10 to v11!

Downgrade from this version requires manually adjusting the version number in the database. The additions can be re-applied if the database is upgraded again later.

### Other changes that needs attention

- Duplicati now requires Mono 5.10 or greater

- S3 and Sharepoint option names on commandline now uses `-` for consistency (previously used `_`)

2021-03-10 - 2.0.5.114_canary_2021-03-10

==========

## This build intends to remove some erronous warnings from the S3 backend introduced in the previous canary.

## Detailed changes

* Fixed the cURL error message url, thanks @warwickmm

* Fixed the S3 warning messages, thanks @warwickmm

2021-03-07 - 2.0.5.113_canary_2021-03-07

==========

## This build has two potentially breaking changes:

### The Telegram backend is no longer included

If you rely on this backend, do not upgrade.

### The SSH backend has been updated

This update increases the security by prefering stronger encryption algorithms.

However, this _can_ cause failing backups as the host key is reported as "changed".

If this happens, edit the backup and update the host key.

==========

This beta release is a collection of additions and improvements from many contributors.

Since it is released more than a year after the last beta, there is a large number of changes.

Important notes:

* On Linux, macOS, and other systems that require Mono, this version requires Mono v5 or later.

* On macOS please remove the current beta and install this version, instead of using the updater. Doing so, will make Duplicati compatible with Gatekeeper and allow you to grant permissions.

A big thanks to all Duplicati contributors, supporters, fans and users for keeping the project evolving and improving.

Note that the beta `v2.0.4.23` has database version `8` and this release has database version `10`. This means that your local database will be upgraded once you run this version, and you cannot roll back without some manual intervention.

Here is a short list of some of the more notable changes:

* Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.

* Updated translations, new languages added.

* Improved support for macOS Catalina

* Add support for minio backend.

* Improve tray icon to reflect warning state.

* Fix long path issue when path has 259 or 260 characters.

* Remove support for Amazon Cloud Drive.

* Fix input issues with dark theme.

* Fix bug in handling filter expressions.

* Fix purge operation with simple filters and case-sensitive filesystems.

* Fix ignoring of --tempdir option when using the command-line.

* Improved list of S3 compatible options and providers.

* Fix ability to stop backup after current file has finished processing.

* Updates to support libraries

* Improve logging during database recreation.

* Add option to skip vacuum operations within specified duration, `--auto-vacuum-interval`.

* Add option to skip compact operations within specified duration, `--auto-compact-interval`.

* Fix backup corruption from upload throttling. #3787

* Fix for “Unexpected difference in fileset”. #3800

* Fix for “CheckingErrorsForIssue1400” and “FoundIssue1400Error”. #3868

* Fix for “FTP (Alternative)” upload verification.

* Server database version is still 6. Backup database rose to 10. This may impede downgrades.

2020-01-03 - 2.0.5.0_experimental_2020-01-03

==========

This is once again a cumulative release for more than 6 months of hard work.

This release has a large number of stability improvements and speed optimizations.

If you are using macOS, please re-install from the .dmg or .pkg, as the launcher has been updated to work with GateKeeper.

Using the built-in update mechanism will not update the launcer and will not work well with GateKeeper on macOS Catalina.

A big thanks to the community members who work hard with fixing issues and responding on the forum:
