Release highlights
Import from URL. You can import backup archives from any directly accessible HTTP/HTTPS URL.
Install Joomla!. You can use the Import from URL feature to install Joomla!. There is a handy button which automatically fills in the download URL of the latest Joomla! version for you.
Hybrid restoration engine. Writes files directly, uses FTP if direct file write fails. This is extremely handy when restoring over existing sites on shared hosting where files are owned by different system user accounts.
