Introduction:

The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the second public release candidate 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 RC2 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

Download:

Download K6.4.0 RC2 here: https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/tag/6.4-rc2

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.

Donations

Any donations are needed for future support.

It's happening in J5 as well. What if you disable Joomla statistics plugin?

That's what I thought at first, but I don't have Joomla 4 or Windows on my test server.
My Testserver is a LAMP Server with Maria DB.
I'm just wondering how this error message relates to Kunena 6.4-RC2 because this error message has never appeared in any of the other Kunena installations, only in this Kunena installation.

That is a Joomla notification and has nothing to do with Kunena. More info .

I get on my local test server in the Joomla backend at Kunena 6.4.0-RC2 the message:
Error
RuntimeException: Could not send site statistics to remote server: Invalid data submission.
The error only occurs once a day when I turn on the computer and start Kunena 6.4.0-RC2 for the first time, but only in the backend. After that, I can work in the forum or with Joomla, close and restart Joomla, close and restart Firefox, and even shut down and restart the computer. The error message no longer appears.
It can't be because of Joomla 5.2.3 because the message only appears in the Kunena 6.4.0-RC2 installation.
I'm not getting an error message from Kunena Tools either.
Debug mode doesn't help either because the error doesn't appear afterwards.
I only reported it because it could cause a problem later on.

Joomla 5.2.3 and Kunena 6.3.8
When I install Kunena 6.4.0-RC2 2025-01-08 on my test server and then open the Kunena Dashboard, I see the following messages above the Kunena version check:
Database updated to version 6.4.0-DEV_2024-09-11
Database updated to version 6.4.0-BETA1-DEV
Database updated to version 6.4.0-BETA3-DEV
Database updated to version 6.4.0-BETA3-DEV_2024-11-01
Database updated to version 6.4.0-BETA3-DEV_2024-11-02
Database updated to version 6.4.0-RC1-DEV_2024-12-20
The version 6.4.0-RC2 2025-01-08 is not included, but is displayed in the middle of the dashboard header.
Is it normal to see five updates?

but when I create and save a new post, I get the message:The requested page could not be found.
success The links or images have been removed from the message because permission to use them has not been granted.
An error occurred during the request.
The page cannot be displayed because:
  • an outdated bookmark was accessed.
  • an incorrect address was called up.
  • an outdated index of this website was called up via a search engine.
  • no access rights for this page are available.
Go to the homepage.
If you experience any problems, please contact the website administrator.
0 Call to undefined method Kunena\Forum\Libraries\Config\KunenaConfig::get()
and at the top it says:The links or images were removed from the message because permission to use them was not granted.
Addendum to 0 Call to undefined method Kunena\Forum\Libraries\Config\KunenaConfig::get()
For me, the path is: /libraries/kunena/src/Config/KunenaConfig.php

Ich habe die Version 6.4.0-RC2 local zum testen installiert. Im Forum stelle ich immer viele Bilder ein. Das ist mit dieser Version aber nicht möglich.
Nach dem einstellen und speichern von editierten B ilder sehe ich nur noch:

wenn ich aber einen neuen Beitrag erstelle und speichere kommt die Meldung:Die angeforderte Seite konnte nicht gefunden werden. successDie Links oder Bilder wurden aus der Nachricht entfernt, da die Erlaubnis dazu fehlt.Während der Anfrage ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.Die Seite kann nicht angezeigt werden, weil:
