Support for top-level files folder introduced in Joomla! 5.3.0. Joomla! 5.3 added a new top-level folder called files
which is similar to the images
folder, but for non-media files. You could use it, for example, to serve PDF, ZIP, or other files. The .htaccess Maker includes an exception for it by default, and visiting the Admin Tools Control Panel on Joomla! 5.3 after upgrading to Admin Tools 7.7.2 will add it to your current .htaccess configuration (this will only happen once, and you still get to review your .htaccess configuration before regenerating the .htaccess file).
Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.
