Admin Tools 4.0.0 Stable

Released on: 2016-07-21 09:36 CDT

Release highlights

Rewritten using a more modern framework. Admin Tools is now faster to use.

You can export/import WAF Blacklist and Exceptions (always forbidden and always allowed component/view/task access) along with all the other settings.

Highlight the suspicious and malicious matches on the file source in the PHP File Change Scanner results making it easier to understand which parts of each file contribute to its Threat Score.

IP whitelist and blacklist will warn you when the feature is not enabled. Many users were confused as to why the addresses they added in the IP white- or blacklist did not take effect. No more wondering, it will tell you.

Joomla! 3.6 compatibility. Joomla! 3.6 has moved the logs folder inside /administrator. Our software is now adjusted for this change.

URL redirection would issue temporary instead of permanent redirects because of a Joomla bug affacting only Joomla 3.3 and later. We are now working around said Joomla bug.

Joomla's Conservative cache mode is buggy, affecting several features of our component. For example, you could not enter a Download ID, you could not apply the proposed Secret Word and most importanty the component options were reset without warning. We are now asking Joomla to forcibly disable caching for the control panel page of our component.

WAF blacklists were unusable with RegEx matching due to a runaway equals sign. The equals sign was terminated with extreme prejudice.

Joomla! 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 only

This version of Admin Tools will only work on Joomla 3.4 and later versions, including the brand new Joomla 3.6.

We VERY STRONGLY advise you to update to the latest released version of Joomla! at all times. Admin Tools' support for older versions of Joomla! is only meant to be a temporary workaround while you're working on the update of your site.

Please note that we will only provide full support for the latest Joomla! version. Some features may not work at all in older Joomla! versions. We've thoroughly tested the security critical Web Application Firewall features against the supported versions of Joomla! as stated above and found them to be working properly.

PHP 5.4.0 or any later 5.x/7.x version is required

Support for PHP 5.3 is discontinued. It's end of life since August 2014 and widely considered a security risk, unfit for production sites. Our software requires PHP 5.4 or later and is compatible with PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0. We strongly recommend using PHP 5.6 or 7.0.

We'd like to remind you that Joomla! 3.4 does NOT support PHP 7. PHP 7 is only supported by Joomla! 3.5.0 and later versions. Admin Tools will work perfectly fine (and very fast!) on a Joomla! 3.6 or later site running on PHP 7.0.
