Akeeba Subscriptions 2.0.Stable just released.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Subscriptions 2.0 Stable, the first stable release in our 2.0 series.

Akeeba Release System 2.0 is the stable release of Akeeba Subscriptions, our easy to use subscription management system. It is heavily tested on test and live environments by a big number of testers. Compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 1.7 and 2.5 (tested with 2.5.RC1) with a single package it'll fit into any of your sites, old or new.

As always, Akeeba Subscriptions is available free of charge from our Downloads page. If you have an older version installed, you can simply use the integrated Live Update feature to upgrade to the new version painlessly.

While the software is free, its support is not. If you wish to receive support for the software, you will need to buy a FORUMACCESS subscription at 7.79 Euros for an 8-day pass to our dedicated forum section. Alternatively, if you are a subscriber to AKEEBADELUXE or SUPPORT you can request support either through the dedicated support forum section or by submitting a private support ticket.

Supported versions

Our support policy is to provide support only to the latest published stable release of Akeeba Subscriptions, as well as to the latest published preview (alpha, beta or release candidate) release, if one is available.
