Admin Tools 2.0.4 was just released.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Admin Tools 2.0.4 which brings minor bug fixes and addresses a major issue arising from funcitonality change in Joomla! 1.6.2. All users are kindly requested to upgrade to this package.

Joomla! 1.6.2 no longer loads the mooTools Javascript framework in the back-end automatically, rendering all administrator toolbar icons unusable. The workaround is to have the developers manually load the Javascript framwork. This change wasn't adequately communicated to third party developers, effectively breaking all third party extensions as soon as you upgraded to Joomla! 1.6.2. This release addresses this issue, as well as other minor bugs discovered after the release of Admin Tools 2.0.3 stable.

Note: this release also fixes some issues with the .htaccess Maker. Users are suggested to visit Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker and click on "Save and create .htaccess" right after upgrading.

As always, you can download the free version, Admin Tools Core, from our Downloads page without any charge. If you are a Professional subscriber you can download the Admin Tools Professional release from the same page. Support is provided free of charge for all users through our Free Support Forum.

Due to a bug in Live Update found in version 2.0.2 and 2.0.3, users of the Professional edition of these versions won't be able to upgrade automatically. In this case, please download the latest version from https://www.AkeebaBackup.com/latest and install it on top of your existing Admin Tools installation, without uninstalling the previous version.

Do you want the maximum protection for your Joomla! site without spending a fortune? Admin Tools Professional can do that, with a flat cost of 20 Euros. An ATPRO subscription allows you to use the component on as many sites as you want, for as long as you want (even after your subscription expires) and receive updates and support for a whole year. For the price of a cheap dinner you can get the maximum protection for all your Joomla! 1.5 or 1.6 sites. Go Professional today!
