I just upgraded to 5.6.x and ran into problems, your question being asked 3 months ago would put that at the beginning of 5.6. I had to disabled HyperDB update the WordPress Database(It asked me to when I disabled HyperDB) and then enable HyperDB and it worked again.

Had same problem with the plugin on the www.ads-software.com site not working.
I dug into the problem and found the problem was with the version PHP 7.1+. Had started to patch it, but seen that it had already been forked and patched on Github. It works as it had done with older PHP versions.

Download the zip as you would with any wordpress plugin and install as such and you will be good to go.

Thanks for the response , I did find a Github patch from Rackspace where they changed the php5 lib to support v3. I will see if I can apply the patch to the Openstack lib Updraft uses and post modification if it works.
