v2.2.0

v2.2.0 - October 26, 2025

• New Feature: Decoupled Filesystem Support (e.g., Flywheel)

  • Reworked the file scanning, zipping, and streaming logic to fully support hosting environments where the WordPress core (ABSPATH) and the web root (dirname(WP_CONTENT_DIR)) are in separate locations.
  • The file scanner now identifies and scans both the web root and core root if they are different, using a seen_files log to prevent duplicates.
  • The zipping process now correctly locates files in either the web root or core root before adding them to the archive.
  • The File Explorer's streaming endpoint has been updated to find and stream files from a separate core directory, ensuring previews and downloads work correctly on decoupled sites.

• Improvement: Database Export Compatibility

  • Database export files are now saved with a .sql.txt extension instead of .sql.
  • This bypasses security rules on certain managed hosts that block the direct download of .sql files.

• Improvement: Added Checksum Generation Support

  • The Backup class can now optionally generate and include md5_file checksums in the file manifest during the scan step.
  • The /regenerate-manifest REST endpoint was updated to accept an include_checksums parameter to trigger this behavior, which is useful for external CLI validation.

• Dev: New API Endpoints & UI Functionality

  • Added a /zip-sync-files endpoint to create a zip archive from an arbitrary list of files sent from a client.
  • Added a /regenerate-token endpoint and a corresponding "Regenerate Token" button in the UI's Tools menu.
  • Added a "Regenerate Session" button in the UI to allow re-running the file manifest generation with the current exclusions without starting a new session.
