What's new?
Preliminary support for Joomla 6. This version comes with preliminary compatibility with Joomla! 6. At the time of this writing, Joomla 6.0.0 Beta 1 has been released. That's our compatibility target. We expect more changes to take place before Joomla! 6 stable is released, with an as yet unknown impact on compatibility. We will keep following Joomla 6 development and adapting our software as necessary.
Using IMDSv2 for getting the credentials off EC2 instances. Getting Amazon S3 credentials automatically from EC2 instances has been upgraded to use IMDSv2. Since IMDSv2 support is optional, you must make sure it is enabled for your EC2 instance as of this version of Akeeba Backup for automatic provisioning of S3 credentials to work.
Bug fixes and minor improvements.
