There's a place for Backup and Migrate module in Drupal developers toolbox. In fact it should be in the top 10 modules to install when developing a site list. However there are situations where it's not the most efficient way to do things. I am lazy and I do forget to create backups. I could schedule them but that means I should have cron running regularly on my local copy which I normally don't. Here's where Navicat comes to the rescue.

Domain Access 6.x-2.2 was released yesterday. This is the last 6.x release, further development will go into 7.x branch.

Things to be aware of from a developer perspective:

  • Change to hook_domainwarnings() - http://drupal.org/node/692772. Won't break existing modules but will prevent new functionality from working.
  • New hook_domain_warnings_alter() for cases where hook_domainwarnings() is possibly overridden by Domain Settings - http://drupal.org/node/721148
  • Now with basic Drush support
  • Generate domains on the fly with Devel
