Admin Tools 2.0.5 was just released.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Admin Tools 2.0.5 which brings high priority bug fixes to the Professional edition of our software. Only users of the Professional edition are affected and are kindly requested to upgrade. The Core edition is eactly the same thing as 2.0.4 and you needn't upgrade.
IMPORTANT: This release fixes severe issues with the front-end protection .htaccess code generated by Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker. If you are using this feature, please upgrade to 2.0.5, go to Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker and click on "Save and create .htaccess" to refresh your site's .htaccess file with the fixed version.
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. Users of 2.0.4 should be able to upgrade normally. Do note that our site switched to full SSL on April 15th. If you no longer receive update notifications in the component, make sure that your server firewall allows communication over TCP/IP port 443 to AkeebaBackup.com and that PHP and its cURL extension are built with OpenSSL support. Please ask your host to verify that information if you're in doubt.
