Hi Nicholas,

After ugrading to Joomla 3.7 it seems the Cron Job does not work anymore. Thought I just drop you a message as probably you figure it out a billion times faster than me and probably it is important for you to know. I have two sites using the Cron Job, both exactly (URL different of course) message. This is the error message:

********** ERROR! **********

Failed to start the session because headers have already been sent by "" at line 0.

Technical information:

Code: 0
File: /home/spasib1q/public_html/www.divemood.com/libraries/joomla/session/handler/native.php
Line: 256

Stack Trace:

Thanks, hope to hear from you and take your time nothing life threatening here . . .

Greetings,

This is yet another critical bug in Joomla! 3.7.0. It has already been confirmed by the Joomla! Production Leadership Team. They are working on a fix for it. That's one of the several critical bugs in Joomla! 3.7.0 which break most third party extensions. Our recommendation is to NOT install Joomla! 3.7.0. If you have a backup from a previous Joomla! version now it's time to restore it. Wait until 3.7.1 is released before upgrading your site.

We are also working on a more permanent workaround on our end. Unfortunately that requires rewriting our software to not use the broken core Joomla! APIs. As you understand this is a massive amount of work. That kind of work would normally take months. We are trying to make it happen in a matter of two short weeks by working 14 hours days, 7 days a week - which is why I am responding to your at 10 pm on a Sunday. We plan on making available a new version of Akeeba Backup which work around all the broken core Joomla! APIs sometime in the following week, most likely on Tuesday.

Thank you for your patience. We are really sorry about the problems you are facing due to the bad quality of the new Joomla! release.

Further information. While we have completed the coding side of things, now we have to test really thoroughly. Even more than we normally do since we've changed so much and in a great depth. The testing will take weeks, I'm afraid. In the meantime we're going to publish a testing release on Wednesday. Hopefully if we've missed anything (there were changes in over 2,000 places in our code) we'll get a bug report and fix it. Again, thank you very much for your patience!
