Known issues: * Updating the target of the ClusterBackupPlan is not yet supported. * Continuous Restore feature for Virtual Machine's **Encrypted Incremental** backup is not yet supported. * During VM restoration if transformation is provided for removing a network interface or Multus network then it will fail during restore validation part. * Images supporting ppc64le architecture are not available with release 5.0.4. ## 5.0.3 Bugs Fixed in this release: * **Backup Deletion Blocked by Webhook:** Resolved an issue where the T4k webhook was incorrectly preventing backup deletion if dependent backups were in a canceling or canceled state. * **ETCD Load During Upgrade:** Addressed an issue where upgrading to a new T4k version caused excessive load on ETCD. Features added in this release: * **Worker Job Affinity Support:** Introduced support for specifying affinity rules for worker jobs. This is distinct from the control plane affinity configuration. * **Sparse File Support:** Added support for backing up and restoring sparse files. * **BackupPlan Target Update:** Enabled the ability to update the target of a BackupPlan. Known issues: * Updating the target of the ClusterBackupPlan is not yet supported. * Continuous Restore feature for Virtual Machine's **Encrypted Incremental** backup is not yet supported. * During VM restoration if transformation is provided for removing a network interface or Multus network then it will fail during restore validation part. * Images supporting ppc64le architecture are not available with release 5.0.3. ## 5.0.2 Bugs Fixed in this release: * **Resource Cleanup Fix**: Resolved an issue in the resource cleaner code to properly clean up orphaned resources. * **CronJob Scheduling Fix**: Fixed a bug that caused CronJob scheduling failures due to insufficient command arguments. Additionally, ensured user-defined affinity settings are correctly applied in CronJob configurations. * **Object Store Target Creation**: Addressed a failure in object store target creation within the OCP plugin. * **Secrets Access Issue**: Fixed an issue where the Secrets box would become unresponsive if the user lacked read access to secrets across all namespaces in the OCP plugin. * **Pause Schedule Handling**: Resolved a bug where a CronJob would trigger immediately after `pauseSchedule` was set to `false` in `BackupPlans` and `ClusterBackupPlans`. * **VolumeSnapshot Readiness Check**: Improved the robustness of the VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent readiness check during Backup Snapshot process. * **Image Backup Parsing**: Fixed an issue with image backup parsing to ensure smoother processing. * **T4k Upgrade Process**: Resolved a migration issue where `BackupPlans` and `ClusterBackupPlans` failed during an upgrade from an older version. * **Non-CSI Storage Support**: Fixed a bug where `DataSnapshot` and `DataUpload` operations were incorrectly processed for non-CSI-based storage. These operations are now skipped as intended. * **IPv6 Compatibility**: Addressed failures in `Backups` and `Restores` caused by IPv6-related issues. * **Vendor Token Expiry Handling**: Improved session management for expired vendor tokens. Instead of a blank screen, users will now experience a proper session logout. * **Helm Release Panic Fix**: Resolved an issue where an empty Helm release within a Helm secret could cause an application panic. Known issues: * Continuous Restore feature for Virtual Machine's **Encrypted Incremental** backup is not yet supported. * During VM restoration if transformation is provided for removing a network interface or Multus network then it will fail during restore validation part. ## 5.0.1 Bugs fixed in this release: * Fixed the issue where volumeSnapshots were not getting cleaned up in the backup process. Known issues: * Continuous Restore feature for Virtual Machine's **Encrypted Incremental** backup is not yet supported. * During VM restoration if transformation is provided for removing a network interface or Multus network then it will fail during restore validation part. ## 5.0.0 Features added in this release: * Added support for Pausing the Backups/ClusterBackups schedules. * Added support to cancel the Backups/ClusterBackups. * Added support to include the specific resource while performing restore. * Improved the speed for VM/Block device incremental backups. * Added support for [Snapshot](/kubernetes/5.0.x/about-trilio-for-kubernetes/features-and-use-cases.md#snapshots). With this, content of the Persistent Volume will be kept in the cluster as a part of VolumeSnapshot. In this feature, only the application resources will be uploaded to target. * Added support for routing with sub-path in the UI. * UI enhancements. Bugs fixed in this release: * Fixed the issue where backupPlan and clusterBackupPlan status was getting populated with many sync messages. * Fixed the VM backup support to include the instance types and preferences. * Fixed the cronjob naming issue where invalid name was getting generated. * Fixed the operator ID validation as a part of BackupPlan creation. * Dependent resources are getting excluded now if parent resource is excluded as a part of Backup or Restore operation.
