From the Release Notes:
Joomla! 3.3 / 3.4 required. Support for older Joomla! versions has been dropped. As a result overall performance has improved.
Feature cleanup. Several features which were only relevant in Joomla! 1.x / 2.x have been removed: Change Super User ID, Database Table Prefix Editor, Database Change Collation, Two Factor Authentication (we contributed a better version of this feature in Joomla! 3 itself!).
The Custom administrator directory feature was removed. This feature required some very specific server configuration to work. Unfortunately, most shared hosts didn't have it and couldn't enable it. Considering that this feature was offering little to no protection anyway we decided to remove it. You will get FAR BETTER enhancement of your site's security using the administrator secret URL parameter and administrator directory password protection of Admin Tools along with the Two Factor Authentication feature we have contributed to Joomla! itself. Enabling all three features and using different, strong passwords is adequate to deter all brute force login attacks far better than the custom administrator directory ever could.
Better IPv6 support. You can now define IPv6 CIDR ranger in black- and white-lists.

Okay - thanks!
You should remove that field label in the next update to circumvent questions regarding the removal.
Thanks for the great software.
