At the end of a restoration, in the (6) Restoration and Clean Up screen, the following deprecation notice is displayed at the top:
( ! ) Deprecated: runZapper(): Implicitly marking parameter $observer as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead in D:\Sites\XXXXXX\Joomla5\XXXXXX.co.uk\kickstart.php on line 7501
This is unfortunately not fixable (yet). The minimum target PHP version for Kickstart is 5.6 which does not allow for nullable types – these were introduced in 7.1.
Kickstart 9 will have a minimum target PHP version of 7.2. In that version this deprecation –and many others– have already been addressed. Because it has a new architecture I also need to modify all of our backup products to use it. This needs some contiguous time to work on. Joomla 6 is coming in October and PHP 8.5 is coming in December. The deprecations and b/c breaks they introduce are currently keeping me busy. I'll release the new Kickstart version most likely around November or December, when the madness from these new versions has subsided.
