Introduction:

The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the security release of Kunena 6.3.8, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.

We've implemented native support for Joomla 5. This means you don't have to enable the new compatibility plugin "Behaviour - Backward Compatibility " on Joomla! 5.0 for it to work with Kunena.

Kunena 6.3 has been designed to work on Joomla! 4.4 and later, the requirements are the followings :
  • Php 7.4.1 to Php 8.3.x
  • MySQL 5.7.23 to MySQL 8.3.0
  • Bootstrap 5.1

The work done in Kunena 6.3 is the following:

  • Refactor the backend views to be compatible with Joomla! 5.0 (thanks to ruud)
  • Some bugfixes and refactor of code
  • Replace Twitter by X in all places where it was used and add bluesky social network
  • Replace some deprecated usage of methods Joomla! from in the code
  • Implementation of handle of mentions in a message when using CKeditor
  • Get list of users for autocomplete in search form

Download:

Download K6.3.8 stable here: https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/tag/6.3.8

This means that the Kunena 6.2 series is approching the end of life and will be discountinued, with the future release of K6.3 in stable there won't be new versions of K6.2 after that.

Donations

Any donations are needed for future support.

Just go to dashboard immediately after update. You'll see messages that database has been updated. That's all.

Sorry to be a numpty , but does "Note: Please go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated" mean just that or go and do something once at the Dashboard?
Thanks
