EasyChat 1.6.1

What changed

• In-admin updates no longer block their own request while EasyChat safely replaces runtime files.
• The first protected update on an older installation resumes automatically after previous requests finish. Closing the tab no longer leaves the site in an uncertain state: the Update Center can be reopened safely.
• Background admin checks pause during the first countdown and resume automatically. A safe legacy lock file receives the required private mode without manual deletion.
• If installation cannot finish, the current version keeps working and a safe local diagnostic reason is recorded without keys or personal data.
• The Update Center header, check button and cards now have consistent spacing on desktop and mobile screens.

Who should read this

• Administrators of Generic PHP and OpenCart installations that update directly from EasyChat.
• Site owners on shared hosting where older PHP requests may take time to finish.
• Teams already using EasyChat 1.6.0 that want reliable preparation for future updates.
