Kunena 1.6/1.7 Reflections was created by fxstein

We did it! As of tonight - the closing night of Joomla Day West 2010 - the biggest one ever, hosted in the US - we have released Kunena 1.6.0 stable.

What a ride! We have been working hard for the last 9 months to bring you the best Kunena ever. The changelog file is more than 3500 (!) lines long.

A HUGE thanks goes to Matias who has delivered large portions of the new architecture, closely followed by xillibit who has become the second most active committer in 2010. If you have not seen the latest JoomlaCode.org stats (click here) - both are within the top 10 committers in all of Joomla in 2010. Matias is #3 and xillibit is in #7 overall position for 2010 - again this is for all of JoomlaCode.org!

Our lead committers are closely followed by myself, severdia, dragan (@quila), 810 and additional support came from the allmighty eddieajau, the infamous louis, sam and our team members sozzled, LittleJohn, LDA, TDP2, Mortti, Alakentu and rich.

Kunena has become a real community, 9 quarters of sustained development work has made Kunena the 3rd most active component of all of Joomla code and the top component for 2010. Kunena is not a one day wonder, its not commercial in any way and we are modeling our community more and more after Joomla itself.

And it is far from over. We will be contributing parts of Kunena into other Joomla projects - like our advanced build and install system, to allow ALL joomla developers, to leverage these complex subcomponents in there own work. In a session with Andrew Eddie and Azrul this weekend, we decided to start work on extension skeletons that contain all the proper basics including build scripts that will make extensions better.

"We will be contributing parts of Kunena into other Joomla projects - like our advanced build and install system, to allow ALL Joomla developers, to leverage these complex subcomponents in their own work."

Perhaps, of ALL the features that may go little noticed by most users of Kunena, this is by far the most significant achievement in my mind. I have said it before on several occasions, and I'll say it again, that the Kunena installation procedure is a new standard for installing Joomla extensions - it's a feature that many other big name developers are lacking and that is needed to make it not only easier, but make it worthwhile, for Joomla users to upgrade their extensions.

Overall, this was an amazing achievement by everyone who was involved and I feel honoured that I was able to make a small contribution to the project. Thank you.

FYI - Progress on Kunena 1.7 is steady and we have already coded the majority of data model changes related to the extreme performance initiative we are working on. Early test results show that queries against 10-100x data volumes perform as quick as the current ones - if not better. We are using advanced indexing and materialization techniques that will boost extreme large sites to and beyond where the best and biggest forums out there can scale too. We are also looking at smart caching algorithms that could allow us to take this even further - all of course based on the Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 framework.
Joomla 1.6 support for both Kunena 1.6 and 1.7 is almost complete and we are just waiting for the Joomla 1.6 RC to fix the last remaining bugs.
It has been busy around here and many more things are in the making.
