Question Kunena 3.0.6 Released

Is this version already available via Joomla autoupdate?
I have 3.0.5 installed and Joomla is not displaying that an update is available for Kunena.
I already tried clearing caches.

Yes. The update wasn't showing in the backend of my Joomla 3.3.3 either. I did a manual install by downloading the package and then installing it onto my site. The downloads are available here:

Hello IceCube,

What version of Joomla are you running out of curiosity, can you please provide a configuration report which gives these details to use automatically.

Just a note the normal Joomla Cache is different from the Extension Manager Cache. In Joomla 2.5 you may notice that Joomla has a "Purge" button for the cache in the Joomla Extensions Manager. This was to purge the update records that had become disabled by Joomla automatically. Joomla does this for security reasons as the update URL has become invalid and there is no reason to check it anymore. However the disable of update capability for a specific URL was not perfect and problems could occur.

Disabling of update records has a side affect, it is subject to to a false positive scenario due to network issues or server maintenance of the vendor, the vendor in this case being our server at Kunena.org. An update record can become disabled if our server becomes unavailable for a short period of time during the time that you used "Find Updates" button. Joomla now ignores that update record in the database because it is set as disabled, it never checks again to see if the site has been made available. So now updates do not get reported in the Joomla Extension Manager from Kunena.org because Joomla never looks again.

What is crazy in J3.0 to J3.3 there is currently no way to purge the disabled status records without going into the database. There is a patch for J3.4 to reapply the purge button to be able to fix these issues in case they happen. If you have J3.0 - J3.3 you will have to manually log into your database (through a tool like phpMyAdmin) and go into the updates table to re-enable the Kunena specifc entry to be able to update. J3.4 should read a purge button (or similar form of it as it exists in J2.5)

Thanks for your fast reply. It's Joomla 2.5

I already noticed this update_sites table in the DB and that most of the entries were disabled. After clearing the extension cache, they were reenabled and it offered me the latest update for Joomla, but not for Kunena. In this table I can't see an entry referring to a Kunena site. Should there be one?
Is it possible to manage these entries in the Joomla Backend somehow or only in the DB?

In this table I can't see an entry referring to a Kunena site. Should there be one?

Yes there should be.

You might of tried this, but lets try this. Click Button "Purge" in the Joomla Extensions Manager and then Click "Find Updates". Let me know if Kunena shows up. If it does not you will need to install manually, however reinstalling should fix the update issue for next time.

Yeah, I already tried this and it won't add new entries (like Kunena) to the table. Purge only resets the enabled column to 1 and Find Updates will check the availability of the URLs and sets enabled to 0 if a URL can't be opened.
Then I'll go for a manual update and let you know if an entry to this table is added with it.

edit: Update successful and entry with URL update.kunena.org/3.0/list.xml was added to the table :)
