Akeeba Release System 1.0.3 just released!
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Release System 1.0.3 Stable, a maintenance release over the previous versions of our unique download manager component.
This version addresses known issues with Akeeba Release System 1.0.2 and includes a workaround for a known Joomla! 1.7 bug. More speciffically, Joomla! 1.7.0 to 1.7.2 have a bug in the integrated extensions upgrade feature. These versions of Joomla! are incapable of detecting new versions of components. The bug has been identified and will be fixed in Joomla! 1.7.3. Meanwhile, ARS 1.0.3 includes a workaround in the generated XML update stream which will allow even those buggy Joomla! releases to detect component upgrades when you are using ARS to generate the XML update stream.
The best things in life are free and Akeeba Release System is no exception to that! You can download it from our Downloads page without any charge.
While the component is free, support is not. If you would like to receive support for ARS, you need an AKEEBADELUXE, SUPPORT or our special-priced (7.79€) FORUMACCESS subscription to be able to access the Akeeba Release Section of our support forum. That said, we want to help other developers succeed, giving more awesome powers to Joomla!. So, if you are a developer who wishes to use the component for distributing his Joomla! software, please contact us about the possibility of a reduced fee or free subscription to our support services. We'd also like to note that if you contribute a non-trivial bug fix or feature addition, you will automatically earn a free subscription to our AKEEBADELUXE plan.
