Admin Tools 6.2.1 for Joomla! 3.9 and 3.10 was released on September 23rd, 2024.
As part of our Security Extended Support for our Joomla! 3 software, we have just released Admin Tools version 6.2.1 for Joomla! 3.
This version is only meant to be used on sites built on Joomla! 3.9 and 3.10, and with PHP versions 7.2 to 8.1 inclusive. Being a Security Extended Support version you can only find it on our Compatibility page.
This is a back-port of select features and changes which have been implemented in Admin Tools for Joomla! 4 and 5 over the last year. If you are stuck with an old Joomla! 3 site it will help you keep your site safer until you are ready to upgrade to Joomla! 5.
We still provide support for our Joomla! 3 software and we will keep doing so until at least August 2025.
Upgrading to Joomla! 4 and 5
The upgrade process has not changed. You can leave this version installed when updating Joomla! 3.10 to Joomla! 4.4. After the update, make sure that your site's PHP version is updated to at least PHP 7.4 and at most PHP 8.3. You will then see an available update to Admin Tools 7; install it.
Upgrading to Joomla! 5 from that point is easy. Make sure you have at least PHP 8.1, then simply upgrade to Joomla! 5; the current version of Admin Tools 7 is compatible with Joomla! 4.2 to 5.2 inclusive and PHP versions 7.4 to 8.3 inclusive (note that Joomla! 5 itself requires PHP 8.1 or later).
