1This file contains changelog entries that are not contained in the main readme.txt file (that file contains the newest entries).
2
3= 1.12.5 - 08/Apr/2016 =
4
5* TWEAK: (Paid versions) - tweak the updater class so that it sends the information that updraftplus.com needs in order to correctly advise about language pack update availability. (If you are continuously seeing the same language pack update offered, then this may continue for a few more hours - please be patient!).
6* TWEAK: Detect another case and deal with an HTTP 413 response when sending chunked data on a direct site-to-site migration
7
8= 1.12.4 - 07/Apr/2016 =
9
10* FEATURE: Faster uploads to Dropbox, via adapting to network conditions: https://updraftplus.com/faster-dropbox-uploads/
11* FEATURE: (Paid versions) Plugin now no longer bundles all translations - instead, WP's mechanism for downloading single translations, as/when needed, is used (reduces on-disk size by 12MB=36%)).
12* FIX: Deal with some database encryption phrases with special characters that were incorrectly processed
13* FIX: Deal with an error in the advanced retention rules processing code, that could lead to keeping the wrong backup set
14* FIX: Fix an unescaped string which could cause a JavaScript notice on the UD settings page in some non-English translations
15* FIX: The minimum allowed value for the split size was not previously taking effect when saving settings
16* TWEAK: When connection to an updraftplus.com UpdraftCentral dashboard, allow use of the alternative connection method
17* TWEAK: Suppress some known deprecation warnings on PHP 7
18* TWEAK: Show OpenSSL/Mcrypt info in the log + debug info
19* TWEAK: Detect a completed upload to Dropbox masked by a race event from the WP scheduler
20* TWEAK: The drop-down in the 'Migrate' dialog will now update on a rescan without needing a page reload
21* TWEAK: (Paid versions) Update bundled plugin updater class (Yahnis Elsts) to version 3.0
22* TWEAK: Add woocommerce_sessions to the list of tables of transient data
23* TWEAK: When saving settings, if invalid input is adjusted, this will be reflected back to the UI without a page load (not on all elements)
24* TWEAK: When saving settings, the schedule was written twice on non-multisite installs
25
26= 1.12.2 - 30/Mar/2016 =
27
28* TWEAK: When testing Amazon S3 bucket accessibility, slightly improve one of the corner-case checks
29* TWEAK: When creating an encryption key for direct Migration, or UpdraftCentral, allow the user to choose their key size (this helps with PHP installs lacking both OpenSSL and GMP, in which case key creation can be really slow)
30* TWEAK: Detect another case and deal with an HTTP 413 response when sending chunked data on a direct site-to-site migration
31
32= 1.12.1 - 24/Mar/2016 =
33
34* TWEAK: Update the bundled remote communications library - needed for some UpdraftCentral users

37
38* FEATURE: Compatible with the forthcoming (very soon!) UpdraftCentral remote control panel
39* COMPATIBILITY: Tested + supported on the upcoming WordPress 4.5
40* FIX: On some setups, if no remote storage was configured (not recommended), then old backups were not being pruned

42* TWEAK: Added a hint to FTP users who appear to be firewalled on only the data channel when attempting to use encrypted FTP
43* TWEAK: Improve detection of the WordPress scheduler duplicating periodic events when the server is overloaded
44* TWEAK: Simplify main tab layout upon first use
45* TWEAK: Add some previously unbundled licence files

61
62= 1.11.27 - 17/Feb/2016 =
63
64* FEATURE: Automatic backups can take place before updates commissioned via WordPress.Com/JetPack remote site management (requires a not-yet-released version of JetPack - all current releases are insufficient, so please don't file reports about this yet)
65* FIX: Fixed a further logic error in the advanced backup retention options, potentially relevant if you had more than one extra rule, affecting the oldest backups
66* TWEAK: Resolve issue on some sites with in-dashboard downloads being interfered with by other site components
67* TWEAK: Auto-backups now hook to a newly-added more suitable action, on WP 4.4+ (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30441)
68* TWEAK: Make WebDAV library not use a language construct that's not supported by HHVM
69* TWEAK: Change options in the "Backup Now" dialog as main settings are changed
70* TWEAK: Show the file options in the "Backup Now" dialog if/when alerting the user that they've chosen inconsistent options
71* TWEAK: When pruning old backups, save the history to the database at least every 10 seconds, to help with sites with slow network communications and short PHP timeouts

74
75* TWEAK: Prevent HTTP 500 download errors on some very large file/hosting setups
76* TWEAK: A tiny number of users had a badly laid-out settings screen until they refreshed their browser cache. This release prevents that.
77
78= 1.11.24 - 10/Feb/2016 =
79

90* TWEAK: Attempt to restart a large OneDrive upload in a particular case seen when OneDrive's end seems to get into confusion about state
91* TWEAK: Various bits of internal re-factoring to support future improvements
92
93= 1.11.23 - 26/Jan/2016 =
94
95* FIX: When migrating a sub-folder based multisite into a non-root install with different relative path to the source multisite (I can't think of any good reasons to do this), the search/replace could leave sub-sites unreachable without manual correction
96* FIX: Logic errors in the advanced backup retention options could lead to the oldest backups being deleted prematurely, and some backups not being deleted when they were overdue for deletion
97* FIX: Amazon S3 bucket creation wizard (in the S3 enhanced add-on) was not honouring the chosen region for new buckets
98* FIX: Upon restoration over an existing site, inactive plugins could remain post-restore (bug introduced in 1.11.20)
99* TWEAK: Various internal re-organisations, to improve modularity/re-use of the code
100* TWEAK: Internal CSS re-organisation to make future layout changes easier

102* TWEAK: Clarify the course of action needed if you attempt a Dropbox backup without Curl
103* TWEAK: Add support for the new Asia Pacific (Seoul) region to Amazon S3
104* TWEAK: Make the automatic backup option box appear on the updates page for users who can update plugins or themes (not just core - previously it was assumed that these would always go together in the real world, but some managed hosts are now removing the core update capability from the default admin user, whilst leaving the others)
105* TWEAK: Change default zip split size to 400Mb on new installs
106* TWEAK: Clean up use of composer, to conform to proper usage standards, and update to current version (to avoid causing a problem for plugins using PSR-4 autoloaders)
107* TWEAK: Provide direct links to cart when choosing UpdraftPlus Vault storage
108* TWEAK: Add debug.log to the default exclusions in wp-content (when people leave debug logging on and forget, it can get huge)
109* TWEAK: On multisite, make sure that the site/blogs tables are placed early in the backup (assists with quickly scanning backup info)
110* TWEAK: Update to phpseclib 1.0.1
111* TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice when using SCP
112* TWEAK: Add new termmeta table to the default list of core tables (which is usually automatically detected)
113
114= 1.11.21 - 28/Dec/2015 =
115
116* TWEAK: If there's a problem connecting to UpdraftPlus Vault, in some situations the information on the cause was not easily readable
117* TWEAK: Slightly more logging on failed OneDrive operations, to aid problem-solving
118* TWEAK: Add wysija_email_user_stat to the list of potentially huge non-critical tables (which can get skipped in an emergency)
119* FIX: Package Pear/Exception.php, so that servers without it already can use Microsoft Azure blob storage
120* FIX: Prevent PHP fatal error on admin area in some restore scenarios
121
122= 1.11.20 - 21/Dec/2015 =
123
124* FEATURE: WordPress multisite backup administrators can now selectively restore data from a chosen site, instead of restoring the entire WordPress install - https://updraftplus.com/selectively-restoring-on-wordpress-multisite/ (requires WP 3.5+, UpdraftPlus Premium)
125* FEATURE: Import a WordPress single-site backup into WordPress multisite, as a new site (requires WP 3.5+, UpdraftPlus Premium) - https://updraftplus.com/information-on-importing-a-single-site-wordpress-backup-into-a-wordpress-network-i-e-multisite/
126* FIX: Properly encode folder paths with Copy.Com, allowing some previously prevented folder names to work
127* FIX: In-dashboard decryption using some decryption keys with URL-encodable characters failed
128* FIX: Prevent PHP fatal error on settings page on a buggy old PHP version (5.2.10) when Google Cloud storage add-on not present
129* FIX: When using multiple remote storage providers, a race condition could lead to some old backups not being deleted on the storage not uploaded to last
130* FIX: Views are now placed after tables in the database backup
131* FIX: In-page uploader widget was not working on sub-domain based multisites in some dashboard access scenarios
132* FIX: Package Net/URL2 (PEAR), so that servers without it already can use Microsoft Azure blob storage
133* TWEAK: Upgrade Microsoft OneDrive API usage to latest version
134* TWEAK: Automatic backups are now hooked into the themes page in the network admin on WP multisite installs
135* TWEAK: Dashboard messages were not being clearly shown when trying to use UpdraftPlus Vault without PHP Curl available
136* TWEAK: Protect against other plugins loading incompatible Google SDKs when Google Cloud is being used
137* TWEAK: When trying to use S3, DreamObjects or UpdraftPlus Vault without PHP Curl available, make the cause of the problem more obvious
138* TWEAK: When sending data to remote site, keep re-trying on receipt of an HTTP 413 (request entity too large) down to 64Kb (instead of previous 128Kb) - a webserver was seen in the wild configured at this level
139* TWEAK: Detect the WordPress scheduler invoking a scheduled backup multiple times, in some cases where the existing semaphore lock wasn't helping (because the backup already finished, or the WP scheduler invoked multiple instances of the same event minutes apart - apparently possible when very heavily overloaded)
140* TWEAK: Detect an inconsistent semaphore locking state, and fix it (apparently only possible upon unexpected server crash)
141* TWEAK: Provide a button to cancel (not just continue) an interrupted restore
142* TWEAK: Work around buggy Ubuntu PHP versions - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1315888
143* TWEAK: Make sure that backup options get passed on with continuation data, when resuming an interrupted restore
144* TWEAK: Catch a few untranslated strings (in the decryptor widget for encrypted backups)
145* TWEAK: Log more information if a connection to UpdraftPlus Vault fails
146* TWEAK: The internal info shown when triple-clicking a backup set's date had messed-up formatting
147
148= 1.11.18 - 25/Nov/2015 =
149
150* FEATURE: On hosts with low timeouts that kill restore operations half-way though, provide an obvious button on the dashboard to immediately resume; see: https://updraftplus.com/resuming-interrupted-restores/
151* FEATURE: Usability improvements and ability to select file components in the 'Backup Now' dialog - https://updraftplus.com/improvements-to-the-backup-now-dialog-box/
152* FEATURE: Full support for Microsoft Azure blob storage (UpdraftPlus Premium)
153* FEATURE: Allow all files beginning with a defined prefix to be excluded from the backup by inputting (for example) prefix:someprefix_,prefix:someotherprefix- in your exclusion settings - see: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/
154* FEATURE: UpdraftPlus Premium can now restore backups created by "Dropbox Backup" by WPAdm
155* COMPATIBILITY: Tested/supported on the forthcoming WordPress 4.4
156* TWEAK: Faster zip file creation on PHP 7 with ZipArchive - https://updraftplus.com/faster-zip-file-creation-with-the-php-7-zip-engine/
157* TWEAK: Improve settings tab: remove headings, tweak a few wordings, move "remote storage" section further up
158* TWEAK: Introduce UPDRAFTPLUS_SET_TIME_LIMIT internal constant
159* TWEAK: Quote the table name passed to MySQL in DESCRIBE statement
160* TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice being logged during initial updates connection, and another when restoring third-party databases
161* TWEAK: Style previously unstyled button in some auto-backup scenarios
162* FIX: A few settings were not being deleted by the "Wipe Settings" button.
163* FIX: Importer would not correctly handle third-party backups where the files and zip were both in zip format, separately, and where they were restored together
164* FIX: With multi-archive backup sets, files in the top level of a backup of WP core or 'others' were not restored by an in-dashboard restore if they over-wrote an existing non-identical file if they were not in the first archive
165
166= 1.11.17 - 13/Nov/2015 =
167
168* FIX: Resolve a conflict with "Simple Calendar" (formerly "Google Calendar Events") since their re-written 3.0 release, when using Google Drive storage
169
170= 1.11.15 - 28/Oct/2015 =
171
172* FEATURE: Google Cloud Storage support (UpdraftPlus Premium)
173* FIX: Automatic backups of WordPress core prior to WP core upgrade in recent versions were including non-WP core files
174* FIX: OwnCloud 8.1's WebDAV server responds differently, breaking UD's communications: restore the ability to back up to OwnCloud WebDAV
175* TWEAK: Allow use of the Meta key for selecting multiple backup sets (as well as Control)
176* TWEAK: When sending backup data directly site-to-site (when migrating), handle the (very rare) case where a remote server complains of the chunk size after accepting previous chunks of the same size
177* TWEAK: Add message to final log line when sending backup set directly to a remote site, reminding the user of what to do next.
178* TWEAK: Tweak zip-splitting algorithm, to prevent delayed split on resumption when final file in the last-created zip is gigantic
179* TWEAK: By default, exclude directories that appear to be the UpdraftPlus internal directory of a site stored in a sub-directory when backing up WordPress core
180* TWEAK: In the debugging output, show more clearly when Curl is not installed
181* TWEAK: Remove trailing slashes from what WP returns as the uploads/plugins directories, in case the user has specified a manual directory over-ride and erroneously added a trailing slash
182* TWEAK: Replace all remaining http:// links to updraftplus.com with https://
183* TWEAK: Raise some of the Google Drive network timeouts
184* TWEAK: Suppress an internal PHP notice when pruning backups in some circumstances
185* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations
186
187= 1.11.12 - 29/Sep/2015 =
188
189* FEATURE: More sophisticated rules for retention/deletion (UpdraftPlus Premium) - https://updraftplus.com/more-sophisticated-backup-retention/
190* FEATURE: Delete multiple backups at once - https://updraftplus.com/deleting-multiple-backups/
191* FEATURE: When choosing a monthly backup, you can now choose the starting date (e.g. choose 17th, not just choose the next week-day, e.g. next Monday)
192* FEATURE: You can exclude files with any particular extension by using the constant UPDRAFTPLUS_EXCLUDE_EXTENSIONS (comma-separate different extensions), or by inputting (for example) ext:.zip,ext:.mp4 in your exclusion settings.
193* FEATURE: Tested and supported on the forthcoming PHP 7.0
194* FIX: SFTP uploads could hang after finishing, if more than one attempt was needed to upload the file
195* FIX: Stop causing JavaScript errors on WordPress 3.2 on the plugins page
196* TWEAK: UI improvement when choosing multiple storage options - https://updraftplus.com/a-prettier-way-to-choose-remote-storage-options/
197* TWEAK: The storage selection drop-down (free version) now has icons to make it easier on the eye
198* TWEAK: Use UpdraftPlus Vault logo
199* TWEAK: Replace target="_new" with target="_blank" when opening new browser ports, to be more standards-compliant
200* TWEAK: Tweak the auto-split algorithm again to catch another case where it would have been better to split in a low-resource situation
201* TWEAK: When checking the backup integrity, allow for a multisite to not have a root options table; check sitemeta instead (unlikely, but theoretically possible)
202* TWEAK: Raise default Google Drive network timeout from 15 seconds - it's too possible to hit this on a slow uplink (e.g. congested ADSL)
203* TWEAK: Upgrade the bundled Google SDK to the most recent release (1.1.4)
204* TWEAK: Add previously-untranslated string
205* TWEAK: Suppress a PHP notice relating to a constant that needed quoting
206* TWEAK: Turn off reporting of PHP deprecation conditions if using phpseclib on PHP 7 (can break communications - phpseclib uses PHP4-style constructors)
207* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations
208
209= 1.11.9 - 04/Sep/2015 =
210
211* FIX: Dropbox introduced an un-documented, un-announced change to their server, which caused new site authentications in UpdraftPlus to no longer work. Now fixed with this release.
212* FIX: If backing up multiple extra directories under "more files", if large directories required a resumption, then inclusion of the files multiple times in the backup was possible.
213* TWEAK: Tweak the auto-split algorithm to not avoid firing in a particular case (that relies on a sequence of unlikely I/O events, seen on GoDaddy) if there's no resumption scheduled
214* TWEAK: Add mysql.sql to the (changeable) default configuration for excludes from wp-content - on WP Engine this is an unreadable file that they create that thus produces a backup warning
215* TWEAK: Add a dashboard warning (+ link to documentation) if UD appears to be incompletely installed
216* TWEAK: Add UPDRAFTPLUS_WEBDAV_NEVER_CHUNK constant for WebDAV servers that return the wrong error code when chunking fails
217* TWEAK: Introduce a UPDRAFTPLUS_REMOTESEND_DEFAULT_CHUNK_BYTES constant allowing the over-riding of the remote-send (Migrator) starting chunk size in wp-config.php (expert users)
218* TWEAK: Add CSS classes to dashboard updates notices, so that people can hide them more easily if they wish
219* TWEAK: If gzopen() is disabled, then test binzip without trying to use PclZip to verify the results
220* TWEAK: Add work-around for PHP bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62852
221
222= 1.11.6 - 22/Aug/2015 =
223
224* FIX: SFTP was not working in 1.11.4 for some servers (related to phpseclib library update and sources of random data)
225* FIX: 1.11.5 release had wrong version number in header for paying users; corrected with fresh release
226
227= 1.11.4 - 19/Aug/2015 =
228
229* FIX: Perform previously missing tweak on the database after restoring a multisite backup to an install with a different table prefix, which inhibited the ability to create new users on the main site in a network.
230* TWEAK: Remove an inefficiency when examining files to prune from Google Drive, reducing the amount of time needed.
231* TWEAK: Show a warning if UpdraftPlus's directory in wp-content/plugins has been manually renamed to include a space, which WordPress does not support
232* TWEAK: Skip search/replacing of the 'guid' column in the posts table when migrating (improves performance - and prevents possible re-appearances of blog articles in peoples' feed readers if double-migrating)
233* TWEAK: Upgraded the bundled phpseclib Math, Net and File libraries to current versions (1.0 branch)
234* TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice in log file when deleting FTP backup from dashboard
235* TRANSLATIONS: Updated translations, including Greek
236
237= 1.11.3 - 13/Aug/2015 =
238
239* FIX: Fix access to S3 for PHP 5.2 users using buckets in the US-WEST-1 region
240* FIX: Fix access to UpdraftPlus Vault for some PHP 5.2 users
241
242= 1.11.2 - 11/Aug/2015 =
243
244* TWEAK: Handle the results when someone with no UpdraftPlus Vault quota attempts to connect more gracefully
245
246= 1.11.1 - 10/Aug/2015 =
247
248* FEATURE: UpdraftPlus Vault storage - simple to set up storage from your trusted provider: https://updraftplus.com/landing/vault - with 1Gb of free storage for UpdraftPlus Premium customers ( https://updraftplus.com/shop/updraftplus-premium/ ) - and more storage available for anyone to purchase. All other storage options (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) remain available, of course!
249* FEATURE: S3 enhanced wizard now allows the user to optionally deny the new Amazon Web Services IAM user download and/or delete permissions, for an even more secure setup (at the cost of some convenience - you will need to download/restore/delete S3 backups outside of UpdraftPlus).
250* FEATURE: Amazon S3 in UpdraftPlus Premium now supports optional server-side encryption
251* FEATURE: An "UpdraftPlus" menu now appears on the WP admin bar, allowing quick access.
252* COMPATIBILITY: Tested and compatible with WordPress 4.3
253* SPEED: For users' whose backups are created with a zip binary (the default engine, where available), CPU usage + zip creation times have been significantly reduced
254* SPEED: For users cloning a website with a large number of users and a changed table prefix, a long and slow series of SQL operations has been replaced with a single fast one
255* FIX: The chunk-uploading algorithm for Copy.Com could unnecessarily upload the same chunks multiple times. We have not had any reports, but we believe it's also theoretically possible that a Copy.Com upload could have been corrupted by the same issue, so recommend updating for all Copy.Com users.
256* FIX: Fix issue with site cloning whereby on sites with very large numbers of entries in the postmeta table that needed search/replacing, some could be omitted (in the case seen, the table had >600,000 entries)
257* FIX: Saving the settings immediately after authenticating with Copy.Com resulted in being redirected to WP's page for all settings.
258* FIX: If PHP was killed by the webserver during the process of pruning old backups, then this would not be retried until the next backup, thus potentially leaving more backups than desired around in remote storage in the meanwhile.
259* FIX: Log files sometimes failed to mention the MySQL version
260* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations - thanks to our translators
261* TWEAK: When choosing multiple remote storage options (Premium), these are now stacked via tabs, instead of vertically as before
262* TWEAK: More help for enormous sites on badly resourced web hosting: part of the enumeration of uploads needing backing up is now cached, allowing more to be time when time limits are short
263* TWEAK: Secret credentials (e.g. S3 secret key) in the admin area are now starred (as explained in our long-standing FAQ, this does nothing to protect against malicious WordPress co-admins on your site - https://updraftplus.com/faqs/in-the-administration-section-it-shows-my-amazon-ftp-etc-passwords-without-using-stars-is-this-safe/ - but at least we won't get asked about it so many times!).
264* TWEAK: Provide more direct help to the user if they are hosting with Strato and get the 'File Size Limit Exceeded' zip message
265* TWEAK: When migrating data directly to a remote site, if the remote site returns a 413 HTTP code ("Request Entity Too Large"), re-try using a smaller chunk size
266* TWEAK: Log when about to begin encryption of a database file (allowing the progress to be monitored more easily if there's a problem)
267* TWEAK: Detect a further case of an incompatible database (that is from a remote source and uses MySQL features not present on the destination server) and warn before attempting to import.
268* TWEAK: Make the error message shown if trying to restore an incompatible database (that is from a remote source and uses MySQL features not present on the destination server) clearer.
269* TWEAK: If the user uses "Backup Now" before saving their settings, warn them that the unsaved settings changes won't apply to this backup
270* TWEAK: Only warn about very large files found once for each file (rather than once per resumption)
271* TWEAK: Add the UPDRAFTPLUS_GOOGLEDRIVE_DISABLEGZIP constant - define it as true to work-around broken HTTP setups (possibly broken outgoing proxy?) when accessing Google Drive
272* TWEAK: When claiming an add-on (paid versions), the user's updraftplus.com password will automatically be forgotten once it is no longer needed
273* TWEAK: Handle the case of the user typing in an invalid number of backups to retain more elegantly
274* TWEAK: No longer require the php-mcrypt module for Dropbox 
275* TWEAK: Also retry a smaller chunk size if it looks like mod_security unhelpfully replaced a 413 HTTP code with a 200 success message despite the operation actually failing for this reason, or if it looks like sending is just timing out before the PHP timeout (so that we don't get notified).
276* TWEAK: Added new CA root certificates to store (http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem)
277* TWEAK: If the Migrator's direct-send component drops its chunk size, then store this information so that it doesn't have to go through the cycle of finding the best chunk size the next time.
278* TWEAK: Added UPDRAFTPLUS_IPV4_ONLY constant to prevent use of IPv6 (currently implemented by Google Drive only)
279* TWEAK: Deal with a case where the web host appears to be losing disk I/O near kill time, despite later database writes going through (so, the order of operations was insufficient to guarantee what had been completed). This issue was only cosmetic - backup sets were intact (hence "tweak", not "fix")
280* TWEAK: Increase HTTP timeout for remote site-to-site operations
281* TWEAK: Don't cause the 'debug' tab to abort rendering if the web host has disabled the gzopen() function (which is an odd/pointless thing to do)
282* TWEAK: Resolve PHP 'strict standards' coding internal notice in Google Drive module

285
286* FEATURE: Migration component can now send backup data directly from one WP site to another - https://updraftplus.com/shop/updraftplus-premium/
287* FEATURE: Support active mode FTP servers (extremely rare)
288* FIX: The error message when choosing no components to restore was empty
289* FIX: Restore ability to run on WordPress 3.5 (actually fixed in downloads of 1.10.1 after 2015-05-13)
290* FIX: Some automatic pre-upgrade backups were not marked internally as such, leading UD to delete the oldest scheduled backup prematurely backups prematurely
291* TWEAK: Reduce HTTP round-trips when checking presence + downloading backup archives in a restore/migrate operation
292* TWEAK: Alert the user earlier if they're trying to use a database with a character set not supported by MySQL
293* TWEAK: Use separate internal jobs for separate downloads, and thus avoid race conditions when updating job data (symptom: download widgets that don't show current information)
294* TWEAK: Add constant UPDRAFTPLUS_SFTP_TIMEOUT allowing users to over-ride (via wp-config.php) the default SFTP timeout (default now: 15 seconds).
295* TWEAK: Make Copy.Com filter out non-backups from remote file listings at an earlier stage
296* TWEAK: Log more information when a curl error occurs when getting a OneDrive access token
297* TWEAK: Code re-arrangement in OneDrive library to deal with sites using the obsolete PHP safe_mode
298* TWEAK: Clearer message for users whose access to paid plugin updates has expired (paid versions)
299* TWEAK: Improve detection of started pre-upgrade automatic backups in case of webserver misbehaviour
300* TWEAK: Fix untranslated message when confirming the wiping of settings
301* TWEAK: Replace more non-SSL links to updraftplus.com with SSL links
302* TWEAK: Use a POST instead of a GET during one of the restore sub-stages (avoids a false positive on some mod_security setups)
303* TWEAK: Improve backup-file-naming routine to reduce the times when no ASCII name can be found (ASCII is preferred as not all cloud storage methods will accept arbitrary characters in filenames)
304* TWEAK: Don't keep a log file (unless debug mode is on) for scheduled tasks that result in the result that nothing needs backing up
305* TWEAK: Remove cache files from Cherry Framework child themes upon migration (framework misbehaves if cache files are present after URL change)
306
307= 1.10.1 - 2015-05-12 =
308
309* FEATURE: Microsoft OneDrive support (Premium version) - full support (including chunked/resumable uploading and downloading)
310* FEATURE: Allow prevention of backup of unwanted tables, via a filter; see: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-a-specific-table-from-the-backup/
311* FIX: Restore window would not open if date contained a single quote character in it (which was possible only in some languages)
312* FIX: Restore the ability of PHP installations (< 1%) without curl to use Google Drive (broke when Google introduced a new SSL certificate at their end which PHP couldn't handle properly without extra help).
313* TWEAK: Add woocommerce_order_items and relevanssi_log to the list of potentially huge tables that won't need search/replacing
314* TWEAK: Add link to admin email setting and fix broken link to reporting add-on in free version
315* TWEAK: Provide more direct help for paid users getting blocked by the security shield when connecting for updates access
316* TWEAK: Small tweak in zip-splitting algorithm if it looks likely that there are insufficient resources with no further resumptions yet scheduled
317* TWEAK: "Migrate" dialogue, when the Migrator is installed, now contains a widget to use directly (instead of just directing to other route)
318* TWEAK: Ask user to confirm if they navigate away from the settings page with unsaved changes
319* TWEAK: Replace some non-SSL links to updraftplus.com with SSL links, and replace all non-SSL readme links
320* TWEAK: Add UPDRAFTPLUS_DBSCAN_TIMEOUT constant to control how much time is allowed for scanning database, and make the default vary instead of constant (will help users with absolutely enormous databases).
321* TWEAK: Provide clearer guidance to users with a wrong updraftplus.com password entered for updates
322* TWEAK: When cloning a site with Jetpack, automatically clear Jetpack invalid connection status
323* TWEAK: Prevent some old admin notices from being repeated when saving settings
324
325= 1.9.64 - 2015-04-20 =
326
327* FEATURE: (Premium) Added wizard to make it easier to create limited-access AWS users (requires PHP 5.3.3)

331* TWEAK: Various fixes to bring automatic backups code up to date with WP 4.2 release candidate 1 (there were some changes since beta 3, which worked since UD 1.9.62)
332* TWEAK: Update to version 2.0 of plugin updater class (https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker) - necessary on WP 4.2 to prevent shiny updates after the first failing when 3rd party plugins exist, and to suppress a PHP notice on the plugins page.
333* TWEAK: Add wp_rp_tags to the list of potentially huge tables that won't need search/replacing
334* TRANSLATION: New Slovenian translation, courtesy of Clav Icula
335
336= 1.9.63 - 2015-04-03 =
337
338* TWEAK: Revert to previous global SSL CA bundle: it seems Amazon S3 still has servers with 1024-bit SSL certificates
339
340= 1.9.62 - 2015-04-01 =
341
342* FEATURE: Automatic backups now integrate with the forthcoming WP 4.2's "shiny plugin updates"
343* COMPATIBILITY: Tested and marked compatible with the forthcoming WordPress 4.2 (tested up to beta 3)
344* FIX: Fix regression in 1.9.60 for corner-case of S3 users with no permission to check their bucket's location (but permission to write to it).
345* TWEAK: Make "settings saved" message disappear after a few seconds, to prevent UI clutter
346* TWEAK: Decrease UI clutter in backup time selection
347* TWEAK: Update to latest global SSL CA bundle, removing again 1024-bit root CAs (last attempted in 1.9.26, but S3 still had some legacy servers). Modern web browsers have not accepted these for 6 months now. (SSL verification can be turned off in the expert options).
348* TWEAK: Defeat WP Download Manager Google Drive plugin's loading of its SDK on all pages (conflicting with UD when UD attempts to backup to Google Drive)
349* TWEAK: Detect case of old MySQL on Windows with table prefix that varies by case (and hence WP actually only works by accident) - produce a consistent backup that can be restored on any MySQL server.
350* TWEAK: Add dashboard notice with links to more resources, for free users who've been installed >4 weeks (with option to dismiss notice)
351* TWEAK: Add itsec_log to the list of tables of non-essential/not-needing-search/replace + likely to be large tables for backup strategy
352* TWEAK: Improvement to scheduling algorithm in case where WP's scheduler starts same resumption multiple times - prevent next attempt being delayed longer than necessary
353* TWEAK: Add a header to report emails indicating the job ID - helps when debugging
354* TWEAK: Detect + show a more helpful error message if blocked by CloudFlare when connecting for updates (paid versions)
355* TWEAK: Make it easier to use custom Dropbox API keys, via UPDRAFTPLUS_CUSTOM_DROPBOX_APP constant (define to true in wp-config.php)
356* TWEAK: Tweak debug output of webserver information to avoid triggering a (silly) mod_security rule in some setups
357* TWEAK: Alert the user if using Amazon S3 if they do not have the PHP XML Writer module available
358* TWEAK: Log the fact that local deletions are being skipped, if the user set that option.
359* TWEAK: Give timestamp of WPB2D backups without relying upon location of SQL file
360* TWEAK: Detect a situation on migration where the uploads path is changed (from a site that began pre-WP 3.5) that was previously undetected
361* TRANSLATIONS: French translation updated from less than half to complete, thanks to Erwan François. Various other translations updated (many thanks to all translators).
362
363= 1.9.60 - 2015-02-24 =
364
365* FEATURE: When using "Backup Now", and keeping the UpdraftPlus settings page open, a broken WP scheduler will not prevent the backup's progress.
366* FEATURE: Amazon's "EU Central 1" Frankfurt region now supported again (Amazon began requiring their new signature method at this location - probably a sign of things to come everywhere). PHP 5.3.3 required for this region.
367* FEATURE: Database backup files can now be handled when uncompressed - i.e., you can remove the gzip compression, and use the resulting file (useful for large backups on slow/limited hosting: pre-decompressing the file will reduce the processing time needed)
368* FEATURE: Introduced new in-page auto-backup widget that can resume, and thus cope with a backup of any size. This feature is in preparation of WP 4.2's major re-write of the updating user experience flow.
369* TWEAK: Update PHP-Opencloud (Rackspace) and dependency libraries to current versions.
370* TWEAK: Make sure that activity is recorded periodically when adding database tables to the final database backup (found a site with over 7,500 tables)
371* TWEAK: Don't bother to attempt to detect double-gz compression on setups where it can't be handled (where gzseek() has been disabled in the PHP configuration)
372* TWEAK: Added free/Premium comparison table to the free version
373* TWEAK: Importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import generic .sql, .sql.gz and .sql.bz2 files
374* TWEAK: Don't show the "memory limit" warning in a case where the value could not be accurately detected
375* TWEAK: If the user chooses the "email" remote storage method, then a warning will be added if the archive being sent is bigger than most mailservers can carry (and will be removed if it is successfully sent), thus giving the user a hint as to the failure cause (if they overlooked the existing warning in the email settings).
376* TWEAK: The importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import the latest BackupWordPress format databases
377* TWEAK: Flush output buffer explicitly when closing the browser connection - prevents delayed feedback on some setups
378* TWEAK: Automatic backups are now offered if you go to the 'Plugins' page, and update via the 'More information' iframe
379* TWEAK: Trim spaces from Google Drive client_id/secret - some users didn't spot that they introduced whitespace when copy-pasting
380* TWEAK: Add "Simple Visitor Stats" and "Simple Feed Stats" tables to the list of tables that may have large amounts of data, and which don't need search/replacing when migrating
381* TWEAK: When restoring plugins and themes, log the list of entities being restored (helps with tracing problems)
382* TWEAK: Deal with CloudFTP/StorageMadeEasy returning directory listings in a non-standard format, when rescanning remote backups
383* TWEAK: Version numbering scheme for paid versions changed; see: https://updraftplus.com/change-in-updraftpluss-version-numbering-scheme-for-paid-versions/
384* TRANSLATIONS: Updated translations in several languages (many thanks for our translators)
385* FIX: For imported 3rd-party backups, the 'Existing Backups' tab (only) was showing "Unknown Source" instead of the detected source.
386
387= 1.9.52 - 2015-02-07 =
388
389* FIX: Fix issue when migrating (hence, in Premium versions only) backups with very large options tables output by mysqldump, which could cause the site URL to finish with an incorrect value
390
391= 1.9.51 - 2015-02-03 =
392
393* SECURITY: Prevent nonce leak that could allow logged-in users who aren't admins (if you have any) to access backups, UpdraftPlus settings and perform other harmful actions. No issue exists for users of UpdraftPlus Premium, or if you have the stand-alone "Automatic Backups" or "No Adverts" add-ons, or if your site has no untrusted users who can log in (or whilst have dismissed the "Automatic Backups" notice on the updates page). Credit to Sucuri (http://sucuri.net) for identifying this issue, and notifying us of it.
394

402* TWEAK: Reduce HTTP timeout when checking for available plugin updates (paid versions) from 10 to 5 seconds
403* TWEAK: Tidy up the post-restore screen a little - one less info box.
404* TWEAK: When a restore finishes, WP Super Cache's cache will be emptied (if present), to prevent confusion caused by cached pre-restore pages.
405* TWEAK: Slight change to how the 'mothership' for updates is calculated, for more flexibility in our in-house testing
406* TWEAK: Log more informative error if user chooses 'FTP' for their remote storage, but adds no FTP settings
407* TWEAK: Change "any other directory" to "any other file/directory" in the "more files" add-on, to better reflect its capabilities
408* TWEAK: Make sure that "more files" will skip UD's temporary directory, if asked to back up a parent directory of it
409* TWEAK: Default to https for updates checking, with fallback to http (only relevant to versions from updraftplus.com)
410* TWEAK: Prevent 'Strict Standards' PHP coding notice with WebDAV on PHP 5.5
411* TWEAK: Provide clickable link through to the admin email address in the reporting settings
412* TWEAK: If the gzopen or gzread functions are disabled in the PHP install, then the message saying so omitted to say which one (or both)

415= 1.9.46 - 2014-12-29 =
416
417* FEATURE: Chunked/resumable uploads are now supported for SFTP

420* TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice when listing files on SFTP server
421* TWEAK: Reset an internal upload counter used to detect activity when a cloud storage switch is made due to no apparent activity - could prevent some large, long-running uploads on hosts with little available execution time
422
423= 1.9.45 - 2014-12-20 =
424
425* FIX: Fix case in which the database imported from a BackWPUp backup could be falsely identified as missing (introduced in 1.9.40)
426* FIX: WordPress installs with ALTERNATE_WP_CRON set could skip some scheduled backups (since 1.9.19, so it appears that the conditions required to cause this bug are rare)
427
428= 1.9.44 - 2014-12-13 =
429
430* TRANSLATIONS: Add new incomplete translations (ready for the wordpress.org change to take translation availability into account when searching for plugins): Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Finnish, Hebrew, Catalan, Vietnamese, Bengali
431* FIX: Fix a failure to detect the progress properly for large backup sets, introduced in 1.9.40

450downloads are now automatically restarted (relevant for large backups with low
451web-server PHP time-outs)

4531.9.31
454* FIX: Suppress bogus messages about missing files from 3rd party tar backups

47515th 2014)
476* TWEAK: When an invalid JSON response is received during restore stage 2,
477display the data directly (not just in the error console, where not everyone
478will think of looking).
479* TWEAK: 3rd party backups which are missing expected entities are now handled
480more gracefully
481* TWEAK: The fancy report now tells the user what paths are in the zips for
482any additional paths they configured to add to the backup
483* TWEAK: Add a swifter resumption in one corner case (efficiency)

558* TWEAK: There are still some Amazon S3 servers validated via a Verisign
5591024-bit certificate, causing backup to fail due to SSL validation failure.

578need to poll for progress in the dashboard

581needed on enormous sites
582* FIX: Some Google Drive backups could get uploaded twice, if you were using
583multiple storage backends
584* FIX: If user set the option to not verify SSL certificates, then this option

911advising users to press it

962slow site where PHP ran continuously for 30 mins)

1017users update and take a fresh backup.

1189https://updraftplus.com/faqs/in-the-administration-section-it-shows-my-amazon-ftp-etc-passwords-without-using-stars-is-this-safe/)

1238schedule appropriately
1239* TWEAK: Add detection of jQuery errors in the admin page, and direct users
1240with such errors to a help page
1241* TWEAK: More aggressively clean up temporary files (can lower temporary disk
1242space requirements)
1243* TWEAK: Provide the error message sent by Google upon initial Drive
1244authentication errors.
1245* TWEAK: Found a case where PHP's is_writable() erroneously returns true -
1246actually test a write
1247* TWEAK: Use pseudo-namespacing on the CloudFiles library to prevent clashes
1248with other plugins (pre-emptive - no known conflicts exist)
