Changelog

Bug fixes

  • [HIGH] Bug in third party Guzzle library causes Amazon S3 multipart uploads of archives larger than the remaining RAM size to fail due to memory exhaustion.
  • [HIGH] Some Pro features (restore SRPs, site transfer wizard) not working because their files are deleted on installation
  • [LOW] System Restore Points throwing warnings
  • [MEDIUM] Fatal error on sites with open_basedir restrictions on the site's root
  • [MEDIUM] System Restore Points were throwing a fatal error while applying size quota
  • [MEDIUM] The backup would halt if the upload to S3 failed instead of simply raising a warning

Miscellaneous changes

  • Removing references to JParameter (it was removed in Joomla! 3.4 alpha)

Removed features

  • Removed the (broken) multipart upload from the legacy S3 post-processing engine. Please use the new "Upload to Amazon S3" option for multipart uploads.

Critical bugs and important changes

  • As we announced 18 months ago, we require PHP 5.3.4 or later. If your site doesn't meet this requirement a very stern warning will be issued.
  • DirectoryIterator::getExtension is not compatible with PHP 5.3.4 and 5.3.5
