Are you interested in getting reports related to errors generated when testing latest Joomla Beta versions with Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools?

If not, that is fine. But if you are, is there a bug page available specifically for this so that we don't propagate the normal support page forum.

Personally, I would not expect any replies back on submissions unless you required more detail so as to minimize the workload for you.

Regards,

Jim

First let me tell you about the known issues:

  • Akeeba Backup: The console (CLI) plugin for Akeeba Backup doesn't work correctly in 7.5.0.1 and may cause an installation error. Fixed for 7.5.1.
  • Akeeba Backup: Backup to S3 may fail with a PHP Type Error. Unrelated to Joomla 4. Fixed for 7.5.1.
  • The control panel icons in both extensions seem too big and things generally look too big and out of place. This is because Joomla 4 uses a base font size of 1.0 rem which translates to 16px whereas every other site uses either 13px or 0.9 rem. I tried to tell them, I waster 20 hours for what is a one line, 3' fix, I gave up. I am not accepting these visual issues as bugs because I know that Joomla will have to change its base font size soon before or right after release because a base font size of 16px is unworkable.
  • The Options pages look horrid because the help text its inlined instead of being a popup. They are rendered by Joomla, can't do anything about it except, maybe, completely removing all help text or making the help text completely useless, like Joomla's. Neither solution appeals to me, so I don't accept it as a bug even though it irks me horribly.

Beyond that, if you run into an issue that can be reproduced on a brand new Joomla 4 site but not a Joomla 3 site and it's not a matter of the component's configuration I would be very happy to hear about it. Please remember to state the exact Joomla 4 version you are using. Note that I will only accept issues for the latest released beta and may consider issues filed for the upcoming beta (the -dev) releases.
