Compression method appears to be zstandard and uses https://github.com/klauspost/compress, for those wondering like I was.

The ARM binary isn't up yet.

``` $ uname -m aarch64 $ restic self-update writing restic to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/restic find latest release of restic at GitHub latest version is 0.14.0 download SHA256SUMS download SHA256SUMS.asc GPG signature verification succeeded Fatal: unable to update restic: unable to find file with suffix android_arm64.bz2 ```

Love restic. Every time I have run it in the past few years I have got a nice “Back up and prune finished successfully” message!

Amazing open source software!

Hooray! My local copy is on zstd-compressed ZFS, but I bet this will save me a few bucks for my cloud copy. Thanks restic team!

Time for 1.0 IMO.
