This release brings two features across from the v17 line — background restore point compression with status tracking, and a per-server "Hide Compare tab" setting — plus a fix for scheduled publishes landing an hour (or more) out on servers with a non-zero UTC offset.

Added

• Publisher: a per-server Hide "Compare" tab UI setting. When a target site blocks being embedded in an iframe (X-Frame-Options / CSP frame-ancestors), the visual Compare tab only rendered a browser security error — enabling this option hides the Compare tab for that server so the change view opens straight on Details.
• Snapshots: restore point compression now runs in the background instead of blocking the request thread, so creating a restore point returns as soon as the snapshot is taken. A Pending / Complete / Failed status is tracked and shown in the restore point dashboard; Restore is disabled until a point reaches Complete, and pending points are no longer treated as orphaned by Scan().

Fixed

• 306 - Publisher: the scheduled publish date from the push dialog is now normalised to UTC before being written into the pack, fixing schedules landing offset by the server's UTC offset on servers with a non-zero timezone.
