UpdraftPlus 1.9.25 has been released, and should appear in your WordPress dashboard sometime in the next 48 hours.
The biggest new feature is support for copy.com as a storage backend, in UpdraftPlus Premium. Copy.com give 15Gb of free storage, and the documentation and our experience whilst developing were confidence-inspiring – definitely worth checking out.
A new Portuguese (Portgual) translation has been added, courtesy of Pedro Mendonça; and the translations for Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Russian, Czech, Greek, and Portuguese (Brazilian) have been updated (many thanks to the respective translators).
Other than this, there are a number of small tweaks for better performance, ease of use, and small bug fixes (e.g. more flexibility in the expert “search/replace” tool, less HTTP calls to the backend when using the dashboard page, more options for specifying items to exclude from backups, more information if you are trying to restore on a server that has a much older PHP version than the source site had; etc.). A full changelog is here (it may take a few hours from now to update).
In our next release after this one, we intend to add a huge new feature to UpdraftPlus Premium – incremental backups. This will be UpdraftPlus 2.0 – but we follow the WordPress convention of “add on 0.1”, so 2.0 is just the number between 1.9 and 2.1. But it’s one we’ve been looking forward to for a while. UpdraftPlus is now 41st in the all-time list of most downloaded WordPress plugins, and this should take us to the next level! We have working and tested code for incremental backups now; what we’re finishing off is support for incremental restoration, and the user interface. But until then, enjoy 1.9.25 – it’s our best UpdraftPlus yes.
