We have released Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0.b1 (Beta 1). We ask our clients to test it as it involves a major migration of the settings and backup archives. The Beta and Release Candidate period will last at least until the end of October 2023. The stable version will be released in November 2023 as long as we have enough feedback from our clients.
