kopia | v0.23.0

kopia v0.23.0 released on 12-05-2026


kopia v0.23.0 is out now. It improves CLI security by restricting the insecure unauthenticated server to loopback binds and delivers a set of storage-provider and on-disk persistence fixes that reduce data-loss risk.

See the release notes on the Kopia GitHub repository for full details and the complete changelog.

What’s in this release

  • Insecure unauthenticated server mode now restricted to loopback binds to tighten CLI security.
  • New registration mechanism for storage providers to make provider handling cleaner and more explicit.
  • On-disk persistence improvements: FS provider now syncs files and index blob files are synced before close to reduce the chance of lost data.

Upgrade notes

  • Removal of LZ4 support — check any repositories or clients that depend on LZ4 compression and migrate configurations where necessary; consult the release notes on GitHub for details.
  • If you encounter issues after upgrading, revert to an earlier installed release until fixes are available and report problems via the project’s GitHub issue tracker.

Try v0.23.0 and share your experience or any problems on the project’s GitHub issue tracker or discussion channels.
