Hi Nicholas,

as Akeeba Backup 3.5.0 and up is not compatible with Joomla 1.5.x, please hide the update notification in the backend of Joomla 1.5 sites and make the plugin don´t send out update notification emails - cause updates are not possible.

This would save me lots of customer requests. ;-)

Thanks

Not possible, unless I go back in time and change the Live Update code in Akeeba Backup 3.4.3 and earlier. It's one of those days I'd love to have a TARDIS lying around :) OK, joking aside, you can disable the "System - Akeeba Backup Update Check" plugin on your clients' sites and the emails will simply stop.

Yes I know changing the past code is a little bit difficult. :)
When I disable the plugin I´m not informed about possible important or security updates for the 3.4.x series in J 1.5 - maybe there is a chance for a 3.4.4 with the version check in the update function?

Knowing the state of the code, the possibility of a security release is minimal to inexistent. Pushing out a 3.4.4 release just for the Live Update function is also not very likely. I'd say that disabling the plugin is your safest choice right now.
