Hi there,

Some of my installations report in the PHP log of the backup the following warning:
Warnings : POTENTIAL PROBLEMS DETECTED; 1 warnings issued (see below).
Your version of Akeeba Backup is more than 90 days old and most likely already out of date. Please check if a newer version is published and install it.

If I check the status within Akeeba Backup, then I get a status "OK" for
Akeeba Backup Professional 5.6.0 (2017-09-12)

Visiting your page shows a newer version (5.6.1).

Is there a bug within the extension alert for updates? Should we download and update individually or wait until the update message will be sent?

Thanks and best regards
Heinz

The updates to Akeeba Backup are handled by Joomla! itself, NOT our code. We have no control over that process. We cannot do otherwise; it would result in our extension being removed from the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Joomla!, since 2011 (version 1.7), caches all update information for up to 24 hours according to your preferences (default: 6 hours). This includes update information for third party extensions such as Akeeba Backup. As a result it will not notify you of an update of an extension released less than up to twice that amount of time. In your case: 12 hours.

Akeeba Backup 5.6.1 was released two (2) hours ago.

Thanks Nicholas

That's fine - so this update will anyway solve the situation with the warnings and maybe be announced as pending extension update at the next login!

Thank you!
