Introduction:

The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the maintenance release of Kunena 6.2.1, a native Joomla extension for Joomla 4.3+ and Joomla! 5.0.

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.

We encourage all translators to update translations on transifex.com on some of them the translations hasn't been updated since a while. Kunena 6.2 has been designed to work from Joomla! 4.3 and on Joomla! 5.0, the requirements are the followings :

• Php 7.4.1 to Php 8.2.x (the support of php 8.2.x has been be improved since Kunena 6.1, there aren't anymore deprecated message)
• MySQL 5.7.30
• Bootstrap 5.1

The work done in Kunena 6.2 is the following:

• The support of php 8.2.x has been be improved, there aren't anymore deprecated message
• Add the possibility to load a Joomla! module on Kunena login to have the keypass support on the authentification. Need to define in the template configuration of Aurelia the id of Joomla! module to use.
• Notify banned user by email
• New setting in Kunena configuration to set the date format of your choice to be used by datepicker
• Differenciate check for requirements on Kunena install between mysql and mariadb
• Allow to modify to different karma users in time allowed
• Store the data about notifications into the database to be send later by CRON task, need an extra plugin to make it work
