Introduction:

The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the second public beta release of Kunena 6.4, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. This is a development release and should be only be used for testing; this version is not recommended for live websites at this stage.

The purpose of this release is to encourage testing by downloading, installing and identifying any problems or shortcomings that people may discover. K 6.4.0 B2 is stable and we are aware that people will discover defects. We encourage you to use the forum to report defects, as soon as they are discovered, so that the development team can work through the problems before the release of K 6.4 as a stable product. Reporting defects does not mean that the problems can or will be fixed. The Kunena team is looking forward to hearing your feedback on how well we have achieved our design goals.

Kunena 6.4 has been designed to work on Joomla! 5.0 and later, the requirements are the followings :
  • Php 8.1.0 to Php 8.4.x
  • MySQL 8.0.13 to MySQL 9.1.0
  • Bootstrap 5.1

The work done in Kunena 6.4 is the following:

  • Removing CMSObject extends to some Kunena classes to comply with removed things planned for Joomla! 6.0 (thanks to svanschu)
  • Allow to be used on php 8.4 if you are on Joomla! 5.2.x, it will give some deprecated errors messages
  • Replace some deprecated usage of methods Joomla! of getError(), getDBO() and Toolbar::getInstance()
  • Allow avif and webp to be added in attachment

This means that the Kunena 6.3 series is approching the end of life and will be discountinued, with the future release of K6.4 in stable there won't be new versions of K6.3 after that.
