Question Joomla 2.5 and Kunena 1.7.1

Any news on this as today Extension Manager/Update in the admin backend for Joomla is showing an option to update to 2.5.

No news today, sorry, as far as Kunena is concerned. A couple of bugs have already been found in J! 2.5.0.

Forgive me for saying this but, just as when J! 1.6.0 was released a year ago, I waited a couple of months until after it was released before I first trialled J! 1.6. I'll probably be doing the same thing with J! 2.5, too. That's just my opinion, of course, and it's not the official view of the Kunena project team. Testing of K 1.7.2 and J! 2.5.0 continues to be undertaken.

Joomla has today released J! 2.5.0 and, as part of the release, informed all J! 1.7.x users of this availability and recommendation to upgrade. While we all welcome the announcement of J! 2.5.0 as the start of the next long-term release of Joomla, K 1.7.1 is not fully operable under J! 2.5.0.

J! 1.7 users will receive advice of the automatic upgrade availability of J! 2.5. They should be aware that, if they upgrade to J! 2.5.0, K 1.7.1 will not work without problems. These issues are currently being looked into by the Kunena development team. The Kunena team has been involved for the past three months in building and testing K 1.7.2 which is nearly ready for public release. K 1.7.2 has been tested to work under J! 2.5.0.

A public announcement will be made when K 1.7.2 is available. Members of the Kunena community are invited to subscribe to the category Official Announcements and News about Kunena so that they will be informed by email when K 1.7.2 is available for download and upgrade.

I am not suggesting anyone go ahead and upgrade, but I upgraded to J!2.5 yesterday, with K!1.7.1 running, and everything is working perfectly.

Of course I made a backup first in case it all went pear shaped.

I did the same thing as the above poster. Viewing seems to be just fine, but for the sake of not running into errors, I'm not making any posts (in my forums) until it is considered "stable".

Can i download somewhere Kunena 1.7.2-DEV.

Because I have updated my clan page and did not think that the forum could not run.
