Changelog for rest-server 0.13.0 (2024-07-26)
============================================

The following sections list the changes in rest-server 0.13.0 relevant
to users. The changes are ordered by importance.

Summary
-------

 * Chg #267: Update dependencies and require Go 1.18 or newer
 * Chg #273: Shut down cleanly on TERM and INT signals
 * Enh #271: Print listening address after start-up
 * Enh #272: Support listening on a unix socket

Details
-------

 * Change #267: Update dependencies and require Go 1.18 or newer

   Most dependencies have been updated. Since some libraries require newer language
   features, support for Go 1.17 has been dropped, which means that rest-server now
   requires at least Go 1.18 to build.

   restic/rest-server#267

 * Change #273: Shut down cleanly on TERM and INT signals

   Rest-server now listens for TERM and INT signals and cleanly closes down the
   http.Server and listener when receiving either of them.

   This is particularly useful when listening on a unix socket, as the server will
   now remove the socket file when it shuts down.

   restic/rest-server#273

 * Enhancement #271: Print listening address after start-up

   When started with `--listen :0`, rest-server would print `start server on :0`

   The message now also includes the actual address listened on, for example `start
   server on 0.0.0.0:37333`. This is useful when starting a server with an
   auto-allocated free port number (port 0).

   restic/rest-server#271

 * Enhancement #272: Support listening on a unix socket

   It is now possible to make rest-server listen on a unix socket by prefixing the
   socket filename with `unix:` and passing it to the `--listen` option, for
   example `--listen unix:/tmp/foo`.

   This is useful in combination with remote port forwarding to enable a remote
   server to backup locally, e.g.:

   ```
   rest-server --listen unix:/tmp/foo &
   ssh -R /tmp/foo:/tmp/foo user@host restic -r rest:http+unix:///tmp/foo:/repo backup
   ```

Changelog for rest-server 0.12.1 (2023-07-09)
============================================

The following sections list the changes in rest-server 0.12.1 relevant
to users. The changes are ordered by importance.

Summary
-------

 * Fix #230: Fix erroneous warnings about unsupported fsync
 * Fix #238: API: Return empty array when listing empty folders
 * Enh #217: Log to stdout using the `--log -` option

Details
-------

 * Bugfix #230: Fix erroneous warnings about unsupported fsync

   Due to a regression in rest-server 0.12.0, it continuously printed `WARNING:
   fsync is not supported by the data storage. This can lead to data loss, if the
   system crashes or the storage is unexpectedly disconnected.` for systems that
   support fsync. We have fixed the warning.

   restic/rest-server#230
   restic/rest-server#231

 * Bugfix #238: API: Return empty array when listing empty folders

   Rest-server returned `null` when listing an empty folder. This has been changed
   to returning an empty array in accordance with the REST protocol specification.
   This change has no impact on restic users.

   restic/rest-server#238
   restic/rest-server#239

 * Enhancement #217: Log to stdout using the `--log -` option

   Logging to stdout was possible using `--log /dev/stdout`. However, when the rest
   server is run as a different user, for example, using

   `sudo -u restic rest-server [...] --log /dev/stdout`

   This did not work due to permission issues.

   For logging to stdout, the `--log` option now supports the special filename `-`
   which also works in these cases.
