We are happy to announce the release of restic 0.18.1!

This is a bug fix release. Most notably, it resolves a crash when using backup --stdin-filename with directory paths and another crash that could occur when directories are removed during backup operations. Support for local repositories stored on a filesystem that does not support chmod (such as CIFS or WebDAV mounted via FUSE) has been restored.

To download the new release and to see a more detailed list of important changes, please head over to GitHub. If you already have restic (0.9.4 or later), you can use the self-update command to automatically download and verify the new release.

As always, thanks for reporting any issues you encounter! To get help or provide feedback, please write a post in the forum.
