Introduction:
The Kunena team is thrilled to announce the fourteenth release (security release) of Kunena 6.4, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 and 6.1. It needs the compatbility plugin to be enabled to be installed on Joomla! 6.0.x, this release (K6.4.13) is offered for people already on Joomla! 6.0 to be able to update to K7.0.x. For people still on K6.3.x, the update to K6.4.x version isn't proposed because some users has still Joomla! 4.4.x.
We are changed translation platform, we are now moved to crowdin for this release and the next releases : crowdin kunena. The translators are still needed to update the languages on crowdin because some aren't enough translated.
The security support of Kunena 6.4.x will end by december 2026 so please think to upgrade to Kunena 7.0.
The support for Joomla! 6.1 has been added in this release with plugin compatibility mode to allow upgrade to Kunena 7.0.
Kunena 6.4 has been designed to work on Joomla! 5.0 and later, the requirements are the followings :
- Php 8.1.0 to Php 8.4.x
- MySQL 8.0.13 to MySQL 9.2.0
- Bootstrap 5.1
The work done in Kunena 6.4 is the following:
- Some security issues fixed - thanks to ruud to have reported them
- Some security issues fixed - thanks to pbugbounty to have reported them
- Removing CMSObject extends to some Kunena classes to comply with removed things planned for Joomla! 6.0 (thanks to svanschu)
- Allow to be used on php 8.4 if you are on Joomla! 5.2.x, it will give some deprecated errors messages
- Replace some deprecated usage of methods Joomla! of getError(), getDBO() and Toolbar::getInstance()
- Allow avif and webp to be added in attachment
