UpdraftPlus 2.12.8 (paid versions) Release

A new UpdraftPlus release has been made for our paying users (the most important changes only relate to paid features).

This release is particularly important for anyone using SFTP as their remote storage (not to be confused with ordinary FTP, or even FTPS (i.e. encrypted FTP) – these are separate protocols); a bug was discovered that could cause corruption in uploads that were not able to complete in a single attempt. Beyond that, there is now support for Amazon S3’s ‘infrequent access’ storage class, plus a number of other minor tweaks and improvements. As ever, it is a recommended update for all!

• Feature: Support S3’s ‘infrequent access’ storage class (Premium)
• Fix: Fix bug in SFTP uploading algorithm that would corrupt archives if a resumption was necessary
• Tweak: Add information on UpdraftVault quota to reporting emails
• Tweak: Update the bundled AWS library to version 2.8.30
• Tweak: Update the bundled Symfony library to version 2.8.5
• Tweak: Update the bundled phpseclib library to version 1.0.2 (which includes a fix for SFTP on PHP 5.3)
• Tweak: Improve the overlapping runs detection when writing out individual database tables, for helping servers with huge tables without mysqldump
• Tweak: Prevent restoration from replacing the local record of keys of remote sites to send backups to (Migrator add-on)
• Tweak: Re-order the classes in class-zip.php, to help misbehaving XCache (and perhaps other opcode cache) instances
• Tweak: Do not include transient update availability data in the backup (which will be immediately out-of-date)
• Tweak: Updated the URLs of various S3-compatible providers to use SSL, where available
• Tweak: Added an endpoint drop-down for Dreamobjects, using their new/updated endpoint (currently only one choice, but they will have more in future)
• Tweak: Suppress a log message from UpdraftVault when that message is not in use
• Tweak: When key creation times out in the Migrator, display the error message in the UI
