Bug fixes

• Notice thrown when not using the JPS archiver engine during backup initialization (cosmetic bug)
• ABI: If no error happens during database restoration, IE8 breaks the restoration process
• ABI: Community Builder's #__comprofiler_fields was being restored with a broken DEFAULT value for the 'table' field
• Unreadable files' headers could be included in the archive, causing extraction issues
• Wouldn't let you modify the password for JPS format archives in the Backup Now page
• Archive statistics were not written in the End-Of-Archive record of JPS archives
• The JPS version was not written in the JPS archive's header
• Some servers would not decode the path, making file & directory exclusion beyond the root ineffective
• Akeeba Backup wouldn't work on PHP 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 because of the huge bugs in these versions' JSON implementation. Worked around.
• Akeeba Backup would back up a directory named installation on yoru site's root, disabling effective restoration of sites running on Joomla! 1.6 betas
• When updates can not be downloaded, a misleading error that you need to enter AkeebaBackup.com username & password would appear
