v0.11.0
After 2 months of testing we are ready to release the next major version of Vorta. Much of this was contributed by our Google Summer of Code student, @VandalByte. A big thanks to him for all his work over the summer.
Highlights:
- Change passphrase feature (#2224) — Users can now change their repository passphrase directly from Vorta's UI, eliminating the need to drop to the command line for this common security operation. This was a long-requested feature dating back to issue #303.
- Unified file selector (#2237) — Replaces the confusing dual-dialog approach (separate dialogs for files vs folders) with a single tree-view selector that supports multi-selection for both. This addresses a longstanding UX pain point caused by Qt limitations.
- Fix GUI freezing during pre-backup commands (#2214) — Pre-backup scripts that took more than a few seconds would freeze the entire interface until completion. The backup now runs asynchronously, keeping the UI responsive.
All changes

- remove setuptools from install_requires by @dotlambda in #2187

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.
What's Changed
- Override $PATH for MacOS to find native homebrew borg binaries (#2100) by @greigdp in #2166
- Fix whitespace error: use of shlex.split instead of .split() (fix #2164) by @goebbe in #2171

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.

- Avoid checking for metered network, if there is no wifi by @m3nu in #2141
- Workaround to load right language by @m3nu in #2148
- Ensure pre/post-backup cmds are populated by @m3nu in #2153
- Update network settings on profile change by @m3nu in #2160
- Use events instead of calling child widgets by @m3nu in #2161
- Assume newer Borg version, in case check runs after first backup. by @m3nu in #2163
- move exclude patterns for snap firefox to all the other firefox packages by @renner0e in #2146

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.
