Admin Tools 2.1.3 was just released.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Admin Tools 2.1.3 which addresses potential issues regarding Joomla! 1.6 to 1.7 upgrade.
This version of Admin Tools reverts the change which allowed you to upgrade Joomla! 1.6 to Joomla! 1.7. This change was parformed due to database changes in Joomla! 1.7.0 which can only be performed by using Joomla!'s integrated core upgrade feature. Please note that the Joomla!'s own upgrade may not work on some servers. You are advised to have a current, complete and tested backup of all your files and database contents.
This release also addresses an issue with the .htaccess Maker feature in Admin Tools Professional. Please install the new release, then go to .htaccess Maker and click on "Save and create .htaccess" to work around the issue.
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 to subscribers through our Support Forum (forum-only subscriptions start at 7.79€), whereas subscribers to AKEEBADELUXE and SUPPORT can receive even faster support through our high-priority Private Ticket system.
