  • Php 8.2.0

The work done in Kunena 7.0 is mostly to update the code base:

  • Refactor all the code of plugin integration to be in Joomla! 6.0 by working with events and to drop the parts which was planned to be removed in this Joomla! version (thanks to ruud)
  • New: scheduled task purge trashbin (thanks to ruud)

Error message on 6.0.3 Joomla
"Joomla! 6.0.3 is not supported. Minimum required version is Joomla! 6.0.4, but it is highly recommended to use Joomla! 5.4.4 or later."

So, not sure if 6.0.3 is really not supported, or if the message is inaccurate. ie: 5.4.4 or later
 
While this message is correct, it is also confusing.

Kunena 7.0.3 can be installed on both Joomla 5.4.4 and higher as well as Joomla 6.0.4 and higher, but not on Joomla 6.0.3.
Maybe this message should be adjusted.
Joomla 6.0.4 and 5.4.4 are Security releases; you should update to these versions if you are still using the older versions 5.3 or 6.0.3.

I upgraded the site to 6.0.4 and upgraded to latest Kununa - that seems to have fixed the QuickReply reported issue with prior Kununa release!!! Thanx.
