The following sections list the changes in restic 0.16.2 relevant to restic users. Instructions on how to do that in the Developer Documentation.

The binaries released with each restic version are reproducible, which means that you can reproduce a byte identical version from the source code for that release. If you already have restic >= 0.9.4, you can use restic self-update to get the latest version in a secure way. If you run into any issues, please report them at the GitHub issue tracker or visit the forum.

Restic is distributed as a standalone binary: download the correct file for your operating system and architecture, extract the file and just run it. Since I keep noticing this issue version after version I am to second Midas' comment too ('.A basic error two versions in a row with no regard for user feedback.') and can only hope that the dev will visit this venue and read our comments before releasing another version with the same inconvenient features.īTW, regretfully due to the somewhat 'original/unusual' GUI I accidentally clicked a couple of times the 'Synchronize' button (instead of the 'Synchronization settings' one) and I would really love if the dev could offer us the option to enable/disable a (sort of safety) 'Synchronize now?' (final confirmation) dialog.Ĭoncluding, (if others reading this comment are in agreement) we should probably try to mass-convey to the dev at least (but not limited to) the request to add BOTH the 'Compare now?' and 'Synchronize now?' confirmation dialogs and also to make sure that the user's settings are observed no matter how the folder pairs are loaded into the GUI.Restic 0.16.2 restores support for ARMv5 which was accidentally not included in the previous one, and also fixes missing documentation on Read the Docs. So at every run I have to abort + change the settings (to the ones I actually saved originally) + restart the comparison (with the right settings)! This (which IMHO is a plain and simple) bug is quite frustrating and what fuels the frustration even further is not having the option to manually start the comparison process, which starts automatically as soon as the folder pairs are loaded into the GUI. While I second the comments of shodan816 I would like to add that if I open 2 folders (via secondary channels such as SendTo, Open++, etc.) FreeFileSync always opens them with the 'File time and size' settings despite I saved the 'File content' comparison settings.
