Description of my issue:

I have Hide/customise generator meta tag set to Yes and entered my own generator tag. I think it used to work. Now, after upgrading to J2.5.4, it doesn't work anymore. The site is now showing 'Joomla! - Open Source Content Management'

I know. There is a new feature introduced in Joomla! 2.5.4 which forces the generator meta tag. I was ranting about it on Twitter earlier and I was pretty much told that it's my fault that I didn't have time to keep track of this new feature being added because I was already buys with writing the new com_joomlaupdate Joomla! updater component included in Joomla! 2.5.4. Well, that was pretty much the last time I contributed anything to Joomla!. Maybe this will free me up some time so that I can test every odd patch out there which screws up third party extensions, like mine.

On the bright side, I now have a workaround and will publish a new Admin Tools release today so that the Generator can, once more, be overridden.

Thanks, Nicholas. Don't take those negative comments to heart. There are plenty of people who are grateful for your contribution. I was just telling another webmaster the other day that Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools are must-haves.
