Hi there,

I was checking the Akeeba Backup version manualy of one of my 80 Joomla 4 websites. The version was 9.6.2, but there is no update warning in the extenstion update list of Joomla. Refreshing the update list, en clearing the cash did not help.

There may have been other versions in between, but do I have to manualy update Akeeba Backup to have the latest version? And will newer versions still be available via the 'normal' Joomla extension update page?

Kind regards,
Peter

It makes sense since we just released it :) Joomla caches the updates for anywhere between 1 and 24 hours. This means that it takes that much time before your site “sees” the update. Or you can use the Refresh Updates button to manually trigger the updates refresh.

For what it's worth, this is not a new thing. This is how Joomla! has worked ever since the Joomla 1.6 betas released all the way back in June 2010.

OK, sorry for this. In MySites.guru I never look at the versions of the Akeeba Backup extension, but today I watched it and saw a black button saying you have an old version of Akeeba Backup.

I will wait for the update to appear in the list. MySites.guru will take care of the update.

No worries! We get this kind of inquiry from time to time when someone happens to look at our releases very close to the time of the day we make them.

Have a wonderful day :)
