v0.10.3
This release fixes a new issue on macOS preventing Vorta from finding external Borg versions, as well as an issue with parsing pre- and post backup commands. Big Thank You to the users who helped report and resolve those!
As usual, this release also includes updated translations. If you'd like to help translate Vorta into your own language, see our language docs.

v0.10.2
This release addresses a number of annoying bugs mainly related to switching profiles and refreshing related data.
We also use more Qt Signals while changing profiles, which may make changing profiles feel snappier in situations with many archives.
What's Changed
- Avoid checking for metered network, if there is no wifi by @m3nu in #2141
- Workaround to load right language by @m3nu in #2148

v0.10.0
Overdue release that combines many bug fixes, refactoring and maintenance tasks in particular by our Google Summer of Code student, @shivansh02.
This adds the feedback we got since releasing v0.10.0-beta1. Thanks to everyone who contributed since then!
- For macOS there is an Arm64 version attached, which will open much faster than the previous Intel build. The bundled Borg binary is still Intel, so it's best to install Borg via Homebrew.
- To install with pip:
pip install vorta==0.10.0 - See our docs on how to install it on your platform.

v0.9.1-beta3
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

v0.9.1-beta1
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. 👏 @real-yfprojects @Hofer-Julian
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
- @sten0 from Debian helped us to clean up our icon licensing situation. #1729
