Backrest 1.10.0 ڈاؤن لوڈ

1.10.0 (2025-10-31)
Excited to announce a fairly unspooky 👻 October release of Backrest including a slate of bug fixes, some performance improvements, and new quality of life features. Particularly, support for new telegram notification options and for direct download of files from snapshots through the WebUI. Also of note, this release bumps the restic dependency to the latest patch release (restic 0.18.1).
Note: breaking change for portable backrest windows users (not applicable if using the windows installer), backrest must be run as .\backrest.exe --windows-tray to display the tray icon, elsewise it starts in the background.
