What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

###### Installation

`pip install borgbackup==2.0.0b24`, or use one of the standalone binaries below - they contain everything they need and just have to be made executable.

For each platform there is a single-file binary (`borg-*-gh`, `.exe` on Windows) and, as a `.tgz`, the same thing as a directory (`borg-dir/borg.exe`), which starts up faster.

The macOS binaries are built **without** FUSE support, so `borg mount` does not work with them; install via `pip` instead if you need FUSE support.

All release assets have a [build provenance attestation](https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/attestations), verifiable with `gh attestation verify --owner borgbackup <file>`.

Every attestation is additionally attached as a [sigstore](https://www.sigstore.dev/) bundle `<asset>.sigstore.jsonl`, so it can be verified offline and without a GitHub token, e.g. with cosign:

```
cosign verify-blob borgbackup-2.0.0b24.tar.gz \
  --bundle borgbackup-2.0.0b24.tar.gz.sigstore.jsonl \
  --certificate-identity https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/tags/2.0.0b24 \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
```

The binaries are built by `ci.yml`, not by `release.yml`, so their `--certificate-identity` is `https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/.github/workflows/ci.yml@refs/tags/2.0.0b24`.
