Introduction
The Kunena team is pleased to announce Kunena 3.0.0 Release Candidate [K 3.0.0rc] as a native Joomla extension for J! 2.5 and J! 3.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 2.0.4 and the various beta releases of K 3.0.0.
Kunena 3.0 is a project that has been over nine months in the making. Among other things, the main design objectives for Kunena 3.0 were to remove many lingering legacy issues (caused by the requirement in older versions to maintain J! 1.5 websites) as well as to keep pace with current and emerging Joomla trends.
This version is considered to be the final test before the release of K 3.0.0 stable. This version is considered to be stable enough to be used on live production websites in limited usage (primarily for testing) as long as minor issues are tolerated during the time before it becomes a final release. This version may contain features that were not present in earlier versions or may omit some features that were present in earlier versions; as a candidate for release as a stable version, K 3.0.0rc represents the final feature set that will be included in K 3.0.0 stable. The Kunena team recommends installation of K 3.0.0rc on test sites that are separated from production environments.
The purpose of releasing K 3.0.0rc is to obtain assurances about the product, to use the forum to report defects, as soon as they are discovered, so that the development team can work through problems before the release of K 3.0 as a stable product. about the reliability and usability of software before producing the final stable version.
While every practical effort will be made to rememdy problems in this version, reporting defects does not mean that problems can or will be fixed. The Kunena team looks forward to hearing your feedback on how well we have achieved our design goals.
Key elements of K 3.0 are:
- Major rewrite of the K 2.0 codebase:
- Added support for J! 3.x
- Removal of old J! 1.x code
- New AJAX based installer
- Backend: Implement advanced filters
- Backend: Implement batch processing for users
- Backend: Add option in tools to clean IP addresses
- Changes to default rank titles
- Improved security
- Fixes several defects present in K 2.0.4

So, if I am not wrong, this should be the lastes mysql version available for community server. What should I do? Ask hosing to change mysql version?
You should update your MySQL version to 5.1.68-cll or newer (newer for future proofing) if your able go for MySQL 5.5.30.
And also the newer PHP versions like 5.3 or 5.4 greatly improves the speed of your site and forum.
with a real pleasure to see the development of the project.
The Kunena team is committed to achieving the best forum discussion software (that our limited resources permit) for Joomla. To this aim, the future means that new features will be implemented in line with the support offered by the community towards those new features. Of course, it goes without saying, that future versions will improve the reliability and durability of the software and, therefore, new versions will fix problems discovered in older versions.
I'm not sure how to address properly, ChaosHead, any concerns you may have better than what I have already written many times before in the forum or in articles I have posted on this site. The main thing is that Kunena is a living, breathing project that has a bright future for those who share our dream and who want to contribute to it.
K 3.0 includes a lot of improved functionality but, more importantly, it gives people a basis upon which we can extend the software into many areas that we have not yet begun to explore. I hope that this, in part, helps to give you some insight.
Most common MySQL server version at this moment are 5.1 and 5.5. While 5.0 is still somewhat supported by Oracle, it's been phasing out.
From looking MySQL version, your server is using RedHat EL5 or Centos 5, which are both old versions and I would recommend switching to the new one before they get unmaintained.

Kunena 2.0.4 Security Release
- Details
- Published on Friday, 18 January 2013 12:03
The Kunena team has now released Kunena 2.0.4 for J! 1.5 and J! 2.5. K 2.0.4 is a security and maintenance release for Kunena that addresses over 30 issues that were reported since the last version release. The Kunena team recommends this updated version as a replacement for any earlier version of Kunena.
Details about K 2.0.4 are contained in the Kunena 2.0.4 release notes. Although K 2.0.4 is only a minor/dot-point release, there are changes in behaviour between this version and the previous release (K 2.0.3); it essential that people read the release notes before upgrading to better prepare for changes to the way that Kunena now works.
As a security response against possible XSS attacks, K 2.0.4 makes all previous versions of Kunena obsolete and no longer supported by the team. We encourage all users to upgrade to this new version as soon as possible to avoid the possibility that your forum's operations may be compromised as a result of this issue. Questions regarding older versions of Kunena will not be answered on the forum.
With the release of K 2.0.4 out of the way, the Kunena team will now be able to focus attention on the development of K 3.0. The essential differences between K 3.0 and K 2.0 are
- K 3.0 will not support J! 1.5
- K 3.0 will support J! 2.5 and J! 3.0
K 2.0.4 Highlights
- Two potential XSS vulnerabilities have been detected and changes have been made to address these.
- Changes that affect forum announcements
- General improvements to forum administration (backend) features
- Fixes to many reported problems with Kunena menu types that failed to work since the introduction of K 2.0
- Resolution of problems using the Trash Manager
- Changed behaviour: Changed behaviour: Guests are able to view results of polls (although they are not permitted to vote); logged-in users (who have not yet voted) will not be able to see the results of the poll until after they have voted. The team is aware that this changed behaviour may influence voting patterns; the changed behaviour is an unfortunate side-effect of correcting other poll-related problems.
- Remediation of "message preview" issues
- Remediation of K 2.0.3 known issues
Kunena 2.0.4 is available for download at http://www.kunena.org/download.
The future of K 2.0
With the release of K 2.0.4 completed, and with the team now focusing on K 3.0, we would expect that this version will be the last in the K 2.0 series. This means that K 2.0.4 will be the only version supported (by the team) as far as J! 1.5 is concerned, but only to the extent of providing essential hotfixes. It is unlikely that a new version of K 2.0 will be released after this time.
What this means for those who have J! 1.5 websites is that they will be stuck with K 2.0 and people will not be able to take advantage of enhancements, features or bugfixes that may occur in future. What this means for those who have J! 1.5 is that, at some stage after the release of K 3.0, K 2.0 will no longer be supported by the team. This should signal J! 1.5 site operators to consider their strategic position as to how they will proceed from now. While there is no urgency at this time for people to upgrade from a website that they currently have no problems with, this does not mean that people should necessarily become complacent either. These are matters for each J! 1.5 site owner to consider for themselves.
The future of Kunena is tied to the future of Joomla. With J! 3.0 soon to be used more widely, the team is making efforts to respond to the ongoing challenges of ensuring that Kunena meets the growing demand for the "latest and greatest".
The reason why, in your case, some things are not working is because you have not properly published your Kunena menu and because you have installed some Joomla extension that clobbers Joomla Mootools. See msg #1 of www.kunena.org/forum/K-2-0-General-Quest...tion-read-this-first
Thank you.
LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!
1) The Menu not work in all Page of Kunena
[File Attachment: kunena1.png]
2) I can't attach image, when i go to click on attach open a window to choise image, when i choise not show nothing in file attach
3) Tabs in the Profile not Work
LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO
In the meantime I would leave people with the following words of wisdom: "There are three kinds of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who let things happen and those who wonder what happened."
It takes very little time to read the release notes for K 2.0.4 and to update to K 2.0.4. If people continue to wait for the automatic update to occur, that's their choice. It's also our decision not to respond to questions where people continue to use outdated versions of Kunena that are no longer being looked after by anyone.
In the meantime, upgrading to Kunena using the usual Joomla method is easy and will take most people around 30 seconds to do the job. Even if people rely on the "autoupdate" method, people should still read carefully the release notes before committing the update.
For those of you who continue to ask "when will the autoupdate become available?" our standard response to this question is "Usually within 24-48 hours after a new version released is announced."
I hope this helps.
