We’ve just released restic 0.9.4. Besides several fixes for bugs it contains a new restorer implementation which downloads data concurrently, so it is much faster than the old one.

For downloading the new release and see a more detailed list of important changes, head over to GitHub. If you already have restic 0.9.3, you can use the self-update command to automatically download and verify the new release. Due to a bug you need to specify where restic should write the new file, e.g. like this:

$ restic self-update --output $(which restic)

You can also just specify a path:

$ restic self-update --output /usr/local/bin/restic

As always, thanks for reporting any issues you encounter! Or just write a post in the forum.
