================================================================================
! The Joomla! Update notification plugin would send emails constantly due to wrong packaging. Sorry! It's our fault :(

Admin Tools 2.5.9
================================================================================
~ Showing .htaccess Maker to everyone. I underestimated the number of BROKEN servers which report fake information about the server software they are using.

~ The PHP File Change Scanner is no longer identified as a threat by certain very sensitive security scanning services
# [HIGH] Access Denied messages not blocking requests on some Joomla! 3.1 sites

~ Allow .htaccess Maker on LiteSpeed (it claims to support a large portion of .htaccess commands)

# [LOW] The .htaccess Maker exception you'd add for files and folders with dashes in their names would not be effective
# [LOW] The .htaccess Maker would assume that Apache version is 2.0 when it's not reported. Many Apache 2.5 servers are configured like that. We now assume version 2.5 in this case.

# [HIGH] After a failed installation, even if the subsequent installation is reported successful Joomla! does not install the database tables causing a broken installation

# [LOW] Admin Tools' MySQL-related features go away when you enable db query caching in sh404SEF
# [LOW] Email sent by the CLI version of PHP File Change Scanner always reads "Unknown site" (thanks Gabriel)

Admin Tools 2.1.2
================================================================================
# PHP notice thrown when logging a security exception
# The tmpl whitelist in WAF was not being taken into account
# Resetting the IP filter in auto-blocked IP administrator page would result in no records being displayed
# The URL Redirection management page had two forms named adminForm, creating Javascript issues
# Automatic IP block email body would be an untranslated key (ATOOLS_LBL_WAF_AUTOIPBLOCKEMAIL_BODY)
# Enabling the scheduling options in Admin Tools plugin would result in a PHP fatal error
# Minor layout issue in GeoBlocking continents list
# Clicking on the scheduling button in the control panel resulted in an error page on Joomla! 1.6/1.7

# "cpanelModelCpanel not found" message on Joomla! 1.6's and JCE 1.5.7.x's administrator page
# Sometimes Joomla! wouldn't load the JModel class automatically, leading to a PHP fatal error
# Joomla! 1.6 doesn't run the SQL files on update; ugly but working workaround applied
# Joomla! 1.7-Alpha1 would be proposed instead of Joomla! 1.6.4 as a Joomla! core update
