Current Series Release Notes

17.0.0-9

Prelude

Up to now, Freezer offered two options for job configurations called incremental and no_incremental. Both options could be set independently from one another and defaulted to conflicting values. The freezer-agent CLI offered conflicting --noincremental and --no-incremental flags, which were interpreted differently. Parts of the backup and restore procedures were using one option and other parts the other option, leading to inconsistent behavior. With this release the no_incremental option and corresponding --no-incremental flag are removed. Users can instead set incremental to false in jobs or use the --noincremental flag in the agent to achieve the same behavior.

Upgrade Notes

• The no_incremental option for Freezer jobs and the --no-incremental flag for the freezer-agent CLI have been removed. They are functionally replaced with setting the existing incremental job option to false or using the existing --noincremental flag respectively.

• Support for Python 3.9 has been removed. Now the minimum python version supported is 3.10.
