Akeeba Relase System 1.1.1 just released.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Release System 1.1.1, a bugfix release.
Akeeba Release System 1.1.1 is a maintenance release fixing some medium priority issues discovered in the 1.1 release. Compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 1.7 and 2.5 with a single package it'll fit into any of your sites, old or new.
As always, Akeeba Release System is available free of charge from our Downloads page. If you have an older version installed, you can simply use the integrated Live Update feature to upgrade to the new version painlessly.
While the software is free, its support is not. If you wish to receive support for the software, you will need to buy a MINISUPPORT subscription at 7.79 Euros for an 8-day pass to our dedicated forum section. Alternatively, if you are a subscriber to AKEEBADELUXE or SUPPORT you can request support either through the dedicated support forum section or by submitting a private support ticket.

Our support policy is to provide support only to the latest published stable release of Akeeba Release System, as well as to the latest published preview (alpha, beta or release candidate) release, if one is available.
