Now that Joomla! and PHP have timed releases and a defined support policy, we can in turn clarify when and for how long we support each Joomla! and PHP version.

TL;DR: Joomla! short term support versions are fully supported for 8 months. Joomla! long term support versions are fully supported for one year, get another year of priority security updates, and limited support after that. Joomla! 3.10 get priority security updates to February 2025 (when Joomla! 3 eLTS expires), and limited support after that. PHP versions are supported within one month of their release and up to at least 6 months after they become End of Life.

The integration between Google Drive and our backup software (Akeeba Backup for Joomla!, Akeeba Backup for WordPress, and Akeeba Solo) is undergoing some changes necessitated by policy updates on Google's side.

If you are using a personal Drive you will experience no change. If you are using a shared drive you will have to upgrade to our new releases, create a (free of charge) Google Drive API application, and re-authenticate your backup software against your own API application.

This is further information to Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0 and how failing to follow our instructions will lead to failure, as already discussed. Moreover, we would like to explicitly state that despite mySites.guru proclaiming that the JSON API in Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0 is broken they are merely wrong, as they usually are every single time they proclaim such a thing.

We released Akeeba Backup for WordPress 8.1.0. This version needs a manual update. You will not be able to use WordPress' plugin updates or Akeeba Backup's built-in updater to update to it.
