Introduction
The Kunena team is proud to announce the arrival of Kunena 5.1.0 [K5.1.0] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for Joomla 3.8.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 5.0 and issues discovered during the development stages of K 5.1.
Kunena 5.1 is a project that has been a year in the making.
What's different?
Upgrading to K 5.1 involves changes that may affect Kunena's interoperability with other extensions installed on your site. For this reason it is advisable that you first test K 5.1.0 on a test site before you upgrade your live production site(s). At this stage the team is not treating interoperability with other Joomla extensions as the topmost priority. The main priority at this time is about installation/upgrade and operability as a standalone Joomla component.
Changes to the operation of the forum at this website following the release of K 5.1.0
The release of K 5.1 for J! 3.8.x is a major achievement. The development of K 5.1 was an important opportunty to overhaul the old K 5.0 code base. The K5.0.14 was the last K5.0.x build.
