With previous 5MB chunk size, backup uploads to S3 failed if they are bigger than 50 GB. Now backup chunk size is adjusted according to the size of the backup file by making sure total chunks are less than 10,000 #1924 Fix: Error when pushing a staging site and all folders are selected #1883 Dev: Add testing suite to run unit tests against multiple PHP versions #1903 Dev: Add sass/scss support for compiling css #1925 Dev: Add Xdebug support for PHP 8.1, use custom php.ini in PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 #1928 Dev: Update DI52 version to 3.0 for performance gain #1934

It deletes the WP Staging content directory including its cache files file during files copying process, resulting in a failed push #1851
2.9.18	2022-08-16	Fix: Does not sanitise and escape some of its backup settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS) even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup) #1825
2.9.17	2022-08-02	New: Support up to WordPress 6.0.1 Fix: Important update! Deselecting all tables does not lead to exclusion of tables as expected, but leads to selection of all tables. Thus all tables are copied and possibly overwritten instead of deselected. Applies to new cloning, UPDATE and RESET of a staging page. That can lead to data loss in the staging site. An update is strongly recommended!. #1814 Fix: Can not upload backup file to google drive if the google api returns incorrect value for available storage size (negative value). This sometimes happens for Google workspace accounts and does not affect all users. #1799 Fix: Plugin wps-hide-login could not be excluded during cloning process, preventing users from log in to the staging site #1812
2.9.16	2022-07-28	Fix: On some servers, autoloader tries to load Composer\InstalledVersions although this doesn't exist. We fix this by only loading classes that exist #1801 Enh: Some shared hosting servers like DreamHost doesn't allow sending large data through URL which resulted in interval server error 500 when fetching the backup list. We changed the way of sending data now through request body which allow listing backups on such shared hosting servers #1788 Enh: Improve workflow to support tables with long name exceeding the 64 characters MySQL limit when a tmp prefix during restore is added. Those tables are now temporarily renamed to temporary short names during the restore process and after successful restore renamed back to their original names #1784 Fix: Restoring a backup, site language is not properly imported, resulting in switching the imported site back to site default language. Reason: Language files are imported before importing other files during backup restore. This led to cleaning the restored language files while cleaning other files. Now language directory is skipped during the cleaning of existing "other" files #1794 Fix: Check/Uncheck of the plugins and themes checkbox in the PUSH UI didn't affect the children checkboxes. This issue is fixed and children checkboxes are properly toggled #1797 Fix: If all tables were excluded during PUSH, it was treated as if all tables were selected. Now tables selection is properly handled during the PUSH #1797
2.9.15	2022-07-14	New: Add sFTP support to upload backup files automatically via (s)FTP to a remote server or NAS system #1677 Enh: Cloning/Push stops if folder name contains backslash character () on Linux OS #1744 Enh: Don't copy or update wp-config.php if staging site is updated by using the UPDATE button #1747 Enh: Restoring a backup from a staging site that uses the meta tag noindex, causes the imported site to also not be indexed. In the worst case, this can result in a production site not being indexable after restoring a backup. This update ensures that the index meta value of the imported site is preserved when a backup is restored. #1777 Enh: If Jetpack plugin is active, use the special Jetpack Staging Mode by adding the constant JETPACK_STAGING_MODE to wp-config.php of the staging site #1780 Fix: On some servers, autoloader tries to load Composer\InstalledVersions although this doesn't exist. We fix this by only loading classes that exist #1801 Fix: Fatal error if php curl() module is missing and backup is uploaded to Google Drive or Amazon S3 #1769 Fix: Fatal error on cloning due to strict standard issue in DbRowsGeneratorTrait when user has E_STRICT or E_DEPRECATED constants active in PHP #1772 Fix: Fatal error on plugin activation if there is no write permission on the backup files. Happens only on updating from a very old version to latest one and the backup metadata update routine is fired #1776 Dev: Add automated test for scheduled backup plans #1764
2.9.14	2022-06-13	Fix: Certain default plugins like wps-hide are not excluded anymore during cloning #1742 Fix: Scheduled backup not always executed #1754 Fix: Backup folder is deleted during backup restore on Windows OS #1737 Fix: On backup restore retry deleting an item again in next request instead of re adding it at the end of queue, if item isn't completely deleted in current request #1758 Enh: Refactor normalizePath() #1751 Enh: Optimize table selection to reduce POST characters. Send either selected tables or excluded tables whichever is smaller along to reduce the POST size for cloning and pushing #1727 Enh: Allow automatic update of WP STAGING \| PRO on the staging site. It can still be disabled using the filter wpstg.notices.disable.plugin-update-notice #1749 Enh: Add filter wpstg.backup.restore.extended-search-replace.
