Also, this shows the security vulnerability information:

I use Frontend Admin behind a login for Post creation and editing, and I am the only user, so none of this was concerning for me personally.
For the overall usage and popularity and the developer’s benefit, it is great this issue was solved. However, it would have been nice if the underlying issue would have been clearly communicated and that it was being worked on.
I too was completely under the impression that the FEA plugin was not going to be available and spent many hours looking for alternatives that would come close, and spent money on plugins that looked promising.
I am glad that FEA is back up and running, but the way this was handled makes me think it is better to use this plugin as a “nice to have” and not a “must have”, in case another glitch of some sort happens.
