We’ve just released restic 0.5.0.

This release contains (among many bug fixes) several improvements to the user interface:

• more progress bars
• consistent filtering for tags, hostname, or path
• a new command tag which allows modifying tags of existing snapshots

Since we’ve internally started using the new context package, Go 1.7 is now required for compiling restic. Running build.go will check this for you. The released binaries have been compiled with Go 1.8.

As always, thanks for reporting any issues you encounter!
