UpdraftPlus 2.12.4 (paid version) / 1.12.4 (free version)

UpdraftPlus 2.12.4 (paid versions) / 1.12.4 (free version) has been released. The main highlights of this release are much faster uploads to Dropbox (via adaptive uploading that adjusts to your network conditions), and a smaller on-disk footprint for the plugin due to translations now being downloaded on-the-fly. Beyond that, there are a number of fixes and tweaks. It’s a recommended update for everyone and should appear in your WP dashboard shortly!

By the way… have you checked out UpdraftPlus Premium, or our UpdraftCentral dashboard for remote control of UpdraftPlus (5 free licences for everyone) yet?

The full changelog for this UpdraftPlus releasefollows:

• Feature: Faster uploads to Dropbox, via adapting to network conditions: https://updraftplus.com/faster-dropbox-uploads/
• Feature: (Paid versions) Plugin now no longer bundles all translations – instead, WP’s mechanism for downloading single translations, as/when needed, is used (reduces on-disk size by 12MB=36%)).
• Fix: Deal with some database encryption phrases with special characters that were incorrectly processed
• Fix: Deal with an error in the advanced retention rules processing code, that could lead to keeping the wrong backup set
• Fix: Fix an unescaped string which could cause a JavaScript notice on the UD settings page in some non-English translations
• Fix: The minimum allowed value for the split size was not previously taking effect when saving settings
• Tweak: When connection to an updraftplus.com UpdraftCentral dashboard, allow use of the alternative connection method
• Tweak: Suppress some known deprecation warnings on PHP 7
• Tweak: Show OpenSSL/Mcrypt info in the log + debug info
• Tweak: Detect a completed upload to Dropbox masked by a race event from the WP scheduler
• Tweak: The drop-down in the ‘Migrate’ dialog will now update on a rescan without needing a page reload
• Tweak: (Paid versions) Update bundled plugin updater class (Yahnis Elsts) to version 3.0
• Tweak: Add woocommerce_sessions to the list of tables of transient data
• Tweak: When saving settings, if invalid input is adjusted, this will be reflected back to the UI without a page load (not on all elements)
• Tweak: When saving settings, the schedule was written twice on non-multisite installs
