UpdraftPlus 1.11.27 (free version) / 2.11.27 (paid versions) Release

A new release for UpdraftPlus has just been pushed out, and should show in your WP dashboard shortly. It mostly contains a number of small tweaks to fix a number of issues seen on a small number of sites. As ever, it is a recommended update for all. The full changelog is below.

• 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)
• 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
• Tweak: Resolve issue on some sites with in-dashboard downloads being interfered with by other site components
• Tweak: Auto-backups now hook to a newly-added more suitable action, on WP 4.4+
• Tweak: Make WebDAV library not use a language construct that’s not supported by HHVM
• Tweak: Change options in the ‘Backup Now’ dialog as main settings are changed
• Tweak: Show the file options in the ‘Backup Now’ dialog if/when alerting the user that they’ve chosen inconsistent options
• 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
