kopia | v0.23.1

kopia v0.23.1 released on 16-06-2026


kopia v0.23.1 is out now. It fixes a rare race condition that in some circumstances could lead to data loss, so an upgrade is recommended for all users.

See the kopia repository on GitHub for full release notes and downloads.

What’s in this release

  • Critical bugfix for a rare race condition that could cause data loss (see issue #5371); upgrade recommended.
  • Repository improvements: basic tests for retrieving the epoch manager blob set (PR #5418) and improved selection logic for the next epoch to compact (PR #5373).
  • Storage providers: introduces a no_extra_providers build tag to allow builds without optional/extra storage integrations (PR #5375).

Upgrade notes

  • No breaking changes or deprecations are listed in the release notes; back up repositories and upgrade to v0.23.1 to mitigate the data-loss race condition (see issue #5371).
  • No rollback-specific instructions provided; if you must revert, restore from backups or return to your previous release as appropriate.

Share any feedback or your experience with the upgrade on the kopia GitHub issue tracker or project discussions.
