| 47 | + |
| 48 | +*Contributors: Timothy Jacobs, John Regan* |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +* **Important:** The Google Drive destination is no longer supported. Any schedules with a Google Drive destination have had the destination removed. Read more about this exciting new feature removal [here](https://go.solidwp.com/google-drive-deprecation). |
| 51 | +* **Bug Fix:** Prevented conflicts with plugins like W3 Total Cache, which provide their own copy of Guzzle. Because who doesn't love a good old-fashioned dependency war? |
| 52 | +* **Tweak:** Renamed the plugin to `Solid Backups – Legacy`. A charming euphemism for "on its way out." Learn more about its replacement, `Solid Backups – NextGen`, [here](https://go.solidwp.com/backups-ng-get-backups-nextgen). |

| 54 | +### `v9.1.13` - 2024-07-01 |

| 60 | + |
| 61 | +*Contributors: Jared Hill, John Regan* |
| 62 | +* **Bug Fix:** Added additional items to StellarWP Telemetry data tracking. Now you can know even *more* about things you probably won't look at. |
| 63 | +* **Bug Fix:** Added graceful handling of a `passthru()` function fatal error. It now fails with elegance. |
| 64 | +* **Enhancement:** Added Google Drive API legal text and link. Just in time for its deprecation. Beautiful. |
