Kunena 2.0 "show and tell"
- Details
![]()
Kunena 2.0 has been under construction for a long time - over 2 years, actually - and very soon the first test release will be made available to the public. This article is intended to generate interest in what Kunena 2.0 (we call it K 2.0) is about, why it was designed and why we think it will revolutionise the way that people think about Kunena.
Earlier this year I wrote an article called Kunena 2.0 a new communications platform for Joomla in which I attempted to provide some background information about the future of Kunena. As many of you will know, K 2.0 is already being used in a number of websites. Very soon we hope to use K 2.0 to run the forum here at www.kunena.org. This is for two reasons: firstly, because K 2.0 is actually better and easier for us to use and (b) as a way of finding out if there are defects that need to be fixed before we move to the later stage of releasing K 2.0 as a stable version. We're still a little way from that stage.

Kunena 1.7.1 released!
- Details
Introduction
The Kunena team has now released Kunena 1.7.1 as a native Joomla extension for J! 1.5 and J! 1.7. This is a security release and replacement for all previous versions of Kunena and it is recommended that all users upgrade to Kunena 1.7.1 at the earliest opportunity.
In order to achieve interoperability with both of J! 1.5 and J! 1.7, several important matters in Kunena have been attended to before the next major release of Kunena 2.0 later this year. Some users of third-party templates written for older versions of Kunena will find that their templates may not work with this latest release because changes were necessary in order to fit with the new J! 1.7 CMS. In particular, many of the third-party templates written for K 1.6 in its early stages will cause problems. If in doubt, please contact the authors(s) responsible for those things.
Note: Joomla 1.6 is no longer officially supported.
At this time all previously-released add-on extensions for Kunena have been updated and will need to be separately installed. As with all other releases, K 1.7.1 is available for download on the download page.

Strangely, I did get an error during install (actually upgrade) about the manifest file missing, yet at the same time I got another message about successful installation/upgrade.
Have not come across a problem yet...
