Some S3-based providers require this header to be signed for accurate signature calculation. * Adjustment: Introduced a new constant UPDRAFTPLUS_S3_EXCLUDE_SIGV4_CONTENT_SHA256_HEADER. This constant allows excluding the signature of the 'x-amz-content-sha256' header, accepts a boolean value, defaulting to false. * Adjustment: Added 'noopener, noreferrer' window features to the window.open() call in JavaScript to prevent the target page from changing the content of the original page. * Adjustment: Added Favicon fetching functionality for UpdraftCentral. * Adjustment: Refined the 'Update' module, including adding icons for plugins and screenshot URLs in theme update items. * Adjustment: Added a new background fetching module for UpdraftCentral. * Adjustment: Modified the wording regarding the deletion of local backup files in expert settings. * Adjustment: Updated seasonal notifications. * Adjustment: Enhanced notifications to indicate the introduction of other plugins belonging to the same plugin family. * Adjustment: To avoid CORS issues and ensure that the UpdraftPlus plugin works and is accessible through the UpdraftCentral dashboard, the hostname and/or domain source changed from updraftplus.com to teamupdraft.com. * Compatibility: Resolved PHP warning messages in lockadmin.php by eliminating the use of dynamic properties. = v1.25.2 - February 26, 2025 = * New feature: Added a 'Cron Events' tab in the Advanced Tools section to check for the existence of UpdraftPlus scheduled tasks. * Fix: Resolved an issue where uploads to pCloud failed due to folder name changes, resetting 'folderid' each time the folder name is updated. * Adjustment: Added site information supporting WooCommerce and HPOS in the database backup header. * Adjustment: Create log entries when a robot verification page appears during file uploads in the migration process. * Adjustment: Improved clarity of error messages when connection tests fail during the migration process. * Adjustment: Included detailed information about the status and availability of configured proxies in the backup log files. * Adjustment: Updated Google libraries to support the WP_PROXY_HOST and WP_PROXY_PORT constants. * Adjustment: Updated links created by OneDrive and Azure applications. * Compatibility: Eliminated PHP 8.4 warning messages caused by the use of the E_STRICT constant. = v1.25.1 - January 11, 2025 **Security**: Fixed a non-persistent reflected XSS vulnerability caused by missing nonce and lack of sanitization. An attacker could trick you into clicking a specially crafted link to your site dashboard while logged in, executing JavaScript code in your dashboard. **Fix**: Prevented recovery failures when 'sync-xhr=()' permission policy exists in response headers. **Fix**: Improved the method for obtaining Amazon AWS S3 suggested regions when getBucketLocation() call fails, particularly when the XML response fails to provide suggested region fields - this resolves issues with certain regions (e.g., us-east-2) recently changing response behaviors. **Adjustment**: Expanded support to include the 'ap-southeast-4' region for Amazon AWS S3 and other recently updated regions. **Adjustment**: Resolved a regression issue with the paid version update checker when upgrading to version 4.13.2, which caused notifications regarding subscription status or WP version compatibility to not display. ### Version v1.24.12 - December 23, 2024 #### Bug Fixes - **Fix: Correctly handle tables that need to be excluded during the pre-recovery phase, which caused a logic error by incorrectly interpreting the selected "Include all unlisted tables" option as an instruction to restore all tables**. - **Fix: Update the PHPSecLib library to version 2.0.48, which resolves the "gmp_pow(): base and exponent overflow" issue occurring on certain PHP versions, potentially leading to backup failures on SFTP remote storage**. #### Adjustments - **Completed the review and removal of unserialize() PHP function calls, a task that began in version 1.24.7. Ultimately, the removal involves a theoretical security vulnerability (if your development site allows attackers to post content to it, and you migrate that content to another site containing custom code known to the attacker, which could execute destructive operations after the clone site is created). The result of this removal is that some very unlikely actual search and replace operations will be skipped**. - **Removed the search and replace functionality for PHP 5.2 users (to meet the requirements of the above item)**. - **Adjusted the UpdraftCentral media module to add the "has_image_editor" attribute for each media item**. - **In the recovery screen of multisite configuration, the dropdown menu labeled "Which site to restore" overlapped other HTML elements, causing some buttons to be at the bottom instead of the top, which has been fixed**. - **Prevent deregistration of jQuery-UI CSS printed by other plugins to avoid compatibility issues**. - **In the context of database recovery, avoid executing LOCK and/or ALTER SQL statements for any tables that belong to the "skip table" list**. - **openssl_free_key() is only needed when PHP < 8**. - **Various coding style changes according to the "Plugin Check" rules**. =1.24.11- November 15, 2024= *Note: Due to Google’s application permissions review (undisclosed, requiring us to create a Youtube video for their review process), do not request the drive.read scope on Google Drive connections — this means (before the review is completed) new connections to Google Drive can only access backups created by UpdraftPlus directly, and cannot access backups you manually uploaded to Google Drive.

to disable it, please follow this guide: https://updraftplus.com/new-location-of-updraftplus-in-the-wordpress-dashboard/ *Adjustment: Added span wrapper to UpdraftCentral connection failed message *Tip: Added 'Go here to complete setup' link to the corresponding admin notification, clicking it will redirect to UpdraftVault configuration if no settings are specified. *Adjustment: Adjusted regular expression pattern that did not match certain temporary files to prevent them from being automatically deleted *Tip: After restoration, clicking 'Delete Old Folders' will also delete wp-config-pro-ud-restore-backup.php file *Adjustment: On the settings page/tab;
