AdminTools latest version

Description of my issue:
First time I noticed the issues updating from Joomla 5.1 to 5.2 but didn't relate it with AdminTools. Then I read others relating the issues with AdminTools and checked it out with my last update of Joomla to 5.3 (on two installations - one updating with AdminTools the other with the Joomla Update feature - issues only happened with AdminTools)
1) After updating the version information in the admin page is displayed twice. I found two version information modules in the footer position. Removing one fixes the issue.
2) After updating the textfilter standard blacklist is broken. All html code in articles is removed after saving the content. Even images you inserted are removed. Setting super admin to "no filtering" fix the problem. Afterwards setting textfilter back to "standard blacklist" seems to repair the blacklist. Behaviour is as before update.
The above issues don't happen when I update with Joomla update feature!
3) New issue not related with the before mentioned:
Text of mail reminder of available update does write dates incorrect:
"
An updated version of Joomla! is available.

Joomla! version currently installed: Array
Joomla! version available for installation:

This is a known issue without a solution yet. I am most likely going to remove the Joomla! updater from Admin Tools. The way Joomla! 2.5.x updates work, it's impossible for me to realistically maintain this solution in a way that makes sense.
