Workaround for the Joomla! bug making it erroneously claim in the Maintenance: Database page that Admin Tools' database tables are not up-to-date when they actually are. The Database page in Joomla incorrectly claimed that Admin Tools' database tables where out of date, even though they were not. This is a bug in Joomla! itself.
The “problem” – if it can even be called that with a straight face – was that we changed the same column on the same table, column reason in table #__admintools_log, twice since releasing version 7.0 two and a half years ago. Once in version 7.1.1 back in early 2022, and once in version 7.4.5 in 2023.
We had the reasonable expectation that Joomla would very easily handle this common, simple, and straightforward use case by doing what is common sense: only check against the latest version, ignoring the older version. Unfortunately, Joomla does not follow common sense. It saw that the database table structure conforms to the latest version (7.4.5) but not the old version (7.1.1), therefore erroneously displayed a warning, telling you that the table is not up-to-date with the old version 7.1.1. This is a bug in Joomla!.
Our solution is to release this here version 7.4.6 which… wait for it… deletes the older version's update file so that Joomla! no longer trips over itself.
