Dear MySQLDumper-User,

again we fixed some bugs but also added some new fetures this time.

Let me answer the most interesting question first:

How do I have to do an update?
When you update from version 1.24 or 1.24.2 you simply can copy the files from the unpacked zip file to your server (but keep your config.php file on the server - don't overwrite it!). If you had to move the Perl scripts to a cgi-bin folder, don't forget to do it again (there are changes in the Perl script).

If you want to update from an older version of MySQLDumper, please do a clean and fresh installation into another directory. If everything is working you can delete the old directory - otherwise you'll have that as a fallback.

With this version we addressed the following issues:

- Configuration / Databases / Connection Parameter: manual adding of databases: The internal handling was completely modified. The file dbs_manual.php is no longer needed. Manually added databases are now stored in the selected configuration profile.
- Home / directory protection: Fixed a bug that inverted the resulting message of success / failure.
- Home / directory protection: If the automatic creation of the directory protection failed, the displayed content of the .htaccess file to be created manually contained some messy <br> html code.
- Home / directory protection: The created .htaccess file was extended with "RewriteEngine off". That fixes some problems if MySQLDumper was installed in a sub-folder of an existing website that also used .htaccess files with "mod_rewrite".
- Home / directory protection: The functionality for editing an existing protection was revised.
- Home / Databases: The key status was determined incompletely so that only the first index of each table was considered.
- SQL-Browser / table structure: Added the row "comment" in the display of fields and indexes.
- SQL-Browser / table structure: The functionality for managing keys was revised. It is now possible to define any kind of keys which was limited to primary keys.
- SQL-Browser: The system table "information_schema" is now displayed and can be browsed.
- SQL-Browser: A bug was fixed that could prevent the search from working correctly.
- SQL-Browser: For some queries the number of records was not determined correctly.
- SQL-Browser: Records containing the character "|" could not be edited in some cases.
- SQL-Browser: Error handling was improved.
- Restore: When restoring backups that were not created with MySQLDumper, CREATE DATABASE statements were not recognized correctly.
- File-Administration / Backup Converter: Inside the backup converter there was a buggy routine that caused an error message.
- Backup / Perl: When the configuration option "autodelete" was activated and the folder work/backup contained files not created by MySQLDumper, the perl script crondump.pl issued warning messages.
- Perl: Show perl version, better error handling, nicer font with html
- Perl: Support for FTP over SSL added (NET::FTPSSL perl modul necessary).
- Perl: The optional SQL-Commands (Command Before/After) can now handle multiple Queries.

We hope, that these improvements can be of any use for you.

Best regards from your

If someone wants to update from 1.24 to 1.24.3 ... is it possible?

Yes, like I wrote. You won't lose your settings.
