* TWEAK: On sites with enormous numbers of tables (e.g. very large multisites), counting the already-backed-up tables when resuming took unnecessarily long since 1.16.30
* TWEAK: Update jQuery document ready style to the one not deprecated in jQuery 3.0
* TWEAK: While using the file tree browser return an error if we are unable to open a directory

* FIX: Fatal error when doing a backup with no storage in the short-lived 1.16.32 (free version)

= 1.16.31 - 20/Oct/2020 =
* FIX: A regression in 1.16.30 meant that tables with integer primary keys which used signed integers omitted the first row of the table from the backups. This is not common (e.g. it does not affect any core WP tables; most plugins adding tables follow WP core in using unsigned integers for primary keys).
= 1.16.30 - 15/Oct/2020 =
* PERFORMANCE: Where a table has a numerical primary key, extract its data using that index. This results in a substantial performance increase when fetching large tables using PHP. (The filter updraftplus_can_use_primary_key_default can be used to de-activate this behaviour).
* FIX: Remove incorrect decodeURIComponent() parsing when importing settings, which could prevent import of settings containing some special characters
* FIX: An issue where database tables that were not selected to be backed up in a "Backup Now" backup would get added to the backup during a resumption (i.e. if it did not finish in a single run)

= 1.16.27 - 23/Jun/2020 =

* NOTE: The free version 1.16.27 was released as 1.16.26; i.e. if confused about 1.16.26 went, then the answer is that they are the same thing.
= 1.16.25 - 23/May/2020 =
* FIX: Dropbox since 1.16.24 was only deleting one backup files archive out of the set. i.e. Excess archives remained on Dropbox. These have to be deleted manually.

* TWEAK: Updated phpseclib to the latest version after the previous work around to fix the 'SSH2 Server Host Key Algorithm Mismatch' issue
* TWEAK: Check-in with the clone during the backup process to make sure it is not prematurely purged
