We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Kickstart 3.1.5. This is the fifth maintenance release of the 3.1 series of our on-server archive extraction utility, fixing a number of bugs discovered after the 3.1.4 release.
[div class="alert" class2="typo-icon"]All users are advised to upgrade to the new release before using Kickstart to restore their backup archives or deploy new software to their servers.[/div]
This version resolves a serious bug which made using Kickstart impossible on servers with open_basedir restrictions, as the code would try to access directories above your web root. Furthermore, a minor bug was discovered when using the FTP mode. Finally, a fatal error would occur when trying to run Kickstart on a server which had an unreadable root directory.
As always, Akeeba Kickstart is available free of charge from our downloads section. You can find its documentation in PDF format for off-line reading in the downloads section, or you can view it on-line. All users are strongly advised to read our Quick Start Guide, available as a PDF file from our downloads section, under the Akeeba Backup repository. Do note that we will refer you back to the Quick Start Guide if you post on our forum regarding an issue which is clearly the result of not following the instructions in that document.
Changelog

The kicktemp directory would sometimes fail to be created in non-Kickstart more, i.e. integrated restoration
-
createDirRecursive would also try to create directories above the web root, causing issues if open_basedir was in use

Lister class would throw a fatal error instead of registering a warning when the directory is unreadable
