 # Changelog
 ## [Unreleased]
 
-## [01.45.00] --- 2026-06-28
+### Fixed
+- Component manifest `<name>` reverted to the element-safe `MokoSuiteBackup`. The "Type - Name" display convention made Joomla derive the component element as `com_component-mokosuitebackup`, registering a duplicate component and leaving the real `com_mokosuitebackup` orphaned on the old version — the admin component appeared "stuck" and served the old UI (broken remote-destinations tab, legacy fields). (#213)
 
+## [02.56.07] --- 2026-07-05
 
-## [01.45.00] --- 2026-06-28
+### Security
-
+- Mask the FTP password in `AjaxController::maskSecrets()`/`mergeExistingSecrets()` — stored FTP remotes no longer leak their password via `listRemotes`. (#169)
-## [01.43.35] --- 2026-06-28
+- Stop the API single-item view (`Backups/JsonapiView`) leaking the server `absolute_path`. (#187)
-
+- SFTP uploader uses `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` instead of `no`. (#182)
-### Added
-- Customizable restore script filename per backup profile (reduces discoverability on remote servers)
-- MokoRestore standalone mode: multi-ZIP selector when multiple backup archives are present
-- MokoRestore preflight: Joomla installation detection warning before overwriting an existing site
-- MokoRestore error handling: try/catch on fetch calls, HTTP status checks, JSON parse recovery
-- Download button on individual backup record detail toolbar
-- Profile column in backup records list links to the profile edit view
-
-### Changed
-- Moved download, browse archive, and view log actions from backup list rows into the individual backup record view
-- Removed "Run Backup" / "Backup Now" buttons from profiles list, profile edit toolbar, and backup records view (backups are triggered from the dashboard only)
-- Removed ordering field from profiles; default sort is now by ID ascending
-- MokoRestore cleanup and security messages now reference the actual script filename instead of hardcoded "restore.php"
 
 ### Fixed
-- SSH key indicator detection and missing delete language key
+- `DatabaseDumper` writes a real newline after `DROP TABLE` (was a literal `\n`), fixing streamed dumps. (#179)
-- Bootstrap 5 modal conversion for snapshots view (data-bs-dismiss, modal-footer, getOrCreateInstance)
+- Profile-picker forms order by `id` instead of the dropped `ordering` column (query failed on upgraded sites). (#180)
-- ntfy default URL changed from ntfy.sh to ntfy.mokoconsulting.tech
+- `uninstall.mysql.sql` now drops the snapshots table. (#181)
-- Untranslated JFIELD_ORDERING_ASC / JFIELD_ORDERING_LABEL language keys replaced with component-specific keys
+- CLI snapshot delete uses the real `data_file` column (was `file_path`, so files were never removed). (#184)
-- Options page title now shows "MokoSuiteBackup Options" instead of raw language key
+- Remove the duplicate pre-update backup — the content plugin no longer subscribes to `onExtensionBeforeUpdate` (owned by the system plugin). (#186)
-- Profile dropdown IDs in backup records and dashboard show "#ID — Title (type)" format
+- `DatabaseImporter` collects non-fatal statement errors (`getErrors()`/`hasErrors()`) so restores are no longer silent. (#188)
-- MokoRestore stalling: unhandled promise rejections from network errors or non-JSON responses left UI in loading state

+-- migration failed but Joomla still recorded the schema as applied, leaving all 26

+-- table. This migration removes them portably.

+-- It must be safe on BOTH engines AND on installs where the columns are already gone
+-- (MariaDB, or anyone who ran the corrected 02.52.25). Plain `DROP COLUMN` errors when
+-- a column is absent, and `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS` errors on MySQL 8 — so neither works
+-- unconditionally. We gate the drop on INFORMATION_SCHEMA and build the ALTER via a
+-- prepared statement, which runs on MySQL 8 and MariaDB alike. All 26 columns were
+-- created and dropped together, so the presence of `remote_storage` gates the whole set.
