Changelog

0.0.2 (June 01, 2014)

• add some colors
• search and replace whole database
• move config file to a .wpsync folder where also the backup files will be stored
• add datetime to backup files

0.0.3 (April 30, 2015)

• add some new features:
  • replace database charset if l_db_charset and r_db_charset are provided. This is because wordpress changed their default database charset to utf8mb4 instead of utf8.
  • new commands: push_plugins and pull_plugins via rsync
• fix a small bug (functions were being executed even if they were not defined as allowed commands)
• make l_upload_dir and r_upload_dir optional. if they are not defined in the config file the standard wp-content/uploads will be used.
