2.3.1 Hotfix

JoomlaPack Developers is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new 2.3.1 Critical Hotfix release of our accredited Joomla! site backup component. This release fixes a grave error in JPI4, the restoration script included by default in all the backup archives taken with JoomlaPack 2.3 Stable. The bug wouldn't allow you to restore non-Joomla! tables, halting the restoration process with an error. This is the first time we call a hotfix release "critical". Of course, this is also the first time that a grave restoration-related bug slipped into a stable release. Therefore, we kindly request all users to urgently upgrade their JoomlaPack installations and retake backups of their sites. If you are afflicted by this bug and you have lost access to your original site - e.g. due to a server crash - you are kindly requested to download the restoration patch files, a ZIP file which contains easy-to-follow instructions for fixing the affected backup archive's files at restoration time.

You can always download it following the links on our Downloads page. If you have any problems, suggestions, wishes or want to contact the team members, you can drop by our support forum.

If you find this software useful, please consider donating a small amount using the donation buttons found on the left hand column of this site and on the component's Control Panel page. This gives us the incentive to keep on coding great software and keeping it Free, both as in speech and as in beer!

We need your help

Help us help you, by submitting cool new ideas in our support forum. There is a dedicated section for feature requests. Ask for anything, even if you think it's nonsensical, ridiculous or not very useful. Remember that about 30 months ago a reliable Joomla! backup solution written entirely in PHP, without requiring exec() privileges and able to work on slow servers was ludicrous. Then, JoomlaPack happened. Throw ideas around. We hear you and we try to implement them. You power Open Source, you power JoomlaPack!

Change log

The following is a list of changes since the last official release, 2.3 Stable.
