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.

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.

The answer is to the question is contained in the article that we're discussing Please read the whole article. The article tells you to read K 1.6 and K 1.7 Upgrade Guide . The upgrade guide tells you what you should do and what you can expect.

What was the answer to your upgrade question? I also need to upgrade, but am afraid I'll lose my past posts.

I want to be able to notify people on a listserv when a new topic/posting has been made. I undersatnd people can subscribe to topics but this is not enough. I want the members of the listserv to know when there is a new topic so they can go and subscribe. I can't see any way to do this.
Thanks,
Ted

Hi, I want to update from v1.6.1. Do I just install v1.7.1 over the top and it keeps all previos posts and settings?

I am integrated with CB also. Will that be affected?

Thanks in advance, for your reply.

Thank you.

We're not asking anyone to write nice things about Kunena but we welcome your honest feedback (good and not-so-good) at the Joomla Extensions Directory . If you can spare a few minutes of your time, your feedback is a great way to reward the efforts of the team.

Thanks to the developers and others who contributed to the latest release. I have just upgraded my Kunena forum from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 and did not encounter any problem. Took about 3 minutes only from uploading the file to the upgrade completion.

More power!

This is a security release and replacement^† for Kunena 1.5 and 1.6 and all users are recommended to upgrade to Kunena 1.7.0. Backup and testing are strongly recommended!  K 1.7.0 makes all previous releases of Kunena obsolete and all users of prior Kunena releases are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Kunena 1.7.0 announces the end of support for Kunena 1.5.

Support for K 1.5 will cease one month after the release of K 1.7.

In order to achieve interoperability with all of J! 1.5, J! 1.6 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! 1.6/1.7 CMS.

Excellent! thank you very much...

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...
