If there are no issues found (in Kunena.com), Kunena 1.5.3 should be out in 12 hours.

Great news

Is this new Kunena 1.5.3 meant for production use?
Recommend - Own risk - or Not recommend?

Because the code is wrapped up so tight in the templating of Kunena as it was in FireBoard and JoomlaBoard before that. When you update one you have to update them all. Very tedious and not something you should have to do from a dev standpoint. Besides that all those extra templates made the install way too big. So until the code gets separated from design and templating/skinning is made easier I think it's a good move.

I think devs waited for 1.5 native version and use 1.5 native template capability to separate layout and code.

From the point of bugs, it is the most stable version.
From the point of changes, which wasn't in older versions Kunena, therefore not tested by user base, it's not so stable.
But I'm testing 1.5 svn for a quite long time. I think we will run Kunena 1.5.3 on production after some typical tests (which could be between 2-5 days, depends on our resources).

Ok now this may be a stupid question, because 1.5 isn't even out, but what are yoru plans about 1.6? I wasn't expecting to see 1.5 table so soon. I want to upgrade everything to native, but I am planing to do alot of theming work on my Kunenea forum and you said that in 1.6 theming will change, so I don't want to even start upgrading everything. So is the release of 1.6 version far?

1.5.3 will be the official stable release. Thanks to the CB community and their testers we have made huge progress over the past several weeks. This is about the most stable release we have put out there in the short live of Kunena.

We don't have the final plans for Kunena 1.6 or 2.0. We have lots of ideas and suggestions and are trying to organize a special coding event where several core dev members would get together in person to put some great stuff together.

It will take some time. In addition we are finally making some db changes that will speed up large sistes significantely, together with more MVC work.

Again, plans are in the works. Right now our heads are on 1.5.3 stable that will go live later today (again all times are PST).

Have a great day!
