Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.13
PHP version: 5.3.27
MySQL version: 5.1.68
Host: SiteGround
Admin Tools version: 2.5.6

Description of my issue:

I got notices from several sources about the 2.5.14 update, but when I check on my sites (all of which have AdminTools installed) no notice about 2.5.14 is there (neither in AdminTools or in Joomla core / quick icon).

Also, tried updating (manually) one site with the update file from joomla.org and AdminTools (and core Joomla updater) report an update available ... 2.5.13!

Is this another 'fiasco' like the 2.5.12 update - being released before it was ready?
Or is this related to the changes you made to AdminTools?
(Unfortunately, I don't have any sites without Admin tools to know if it's specifically related to Admin tools.

BTW ... I also went looking on the forums.joomla.org site and nobody there is reporting any problems.

Any ideas?

The big, bold yellow box in the documentation page you said you read before posting reads:



Important

Admin Tools is caching the update information for 8-24 hours in order to avoid looking all the time for updates, slowing your site to a crawl. As a result you may end up with out of date information during the first few hours since a new Joomla! version. This is normal and is not a bug. The only solution to that would involve making your site really dead slow, to the point of being unusable. For your information, Joomla!'s own core and extensions updaters do the same thing: they cache the update information for several hours and exactly for the same reasons. If you want to update your site a.s.a.p. just click on the Reload this information from the server button in Admin Tools. This will instruct Admin Tools to invalidate its cache and refresh the update information from the joomlacode.org server, allowing to perform the update.


If you have not read the documentation just tell me so. That's why I am asking.
