Discontinuing official translations, part two
The last ten months we tried to revive the translations for the Akeeba software by self-hosting a translation environment using Weblate. Unfortunately, this experiment did not yield the intended results and bumped into several problems. After a lot of consideration we decided to discontinue translations and only provide English language files as we had originally announced in February 2017.

Admin Tools for Joomla! - Security bulletin, May 2018
There are two closely related information disclosure issues in Admin Tools. Installing version 5.1.0 addresses both of them. Most sites can not be hacked remotely but will very likely disclose privileged information to a hacker who has already infiltrated the site. People stuck in older versions should read through this document for mitigation procedures.
Please keep in mind that sites using our recommended configuration, as applied by the Quick Setup Wizard were only in moderate risk: some usernames and passwords were logged in the database and possibly the debug log file which are only available to Super Users and people with filesystem access to your site. While not ideal, it's not a huge risk, i.e. you can't be hacked remotely. On a minority of sites and only as a result of manual configuration it is possible that in some cases a remotely accessible log file may contain both usernames and passwords, leading to a serious security concern.
This document is published both on our site and as part of the Release Notes of the new Admin Tools version.
