The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.6 [K 7.0.6] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0.
The Kunena team is also pleased to announce the twelfth version of Kunena 6.4, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 6.0.

Please use other categories for questions about problems that you may be having with your website.
To add: a private password-protected forum where only allocated users have access and can see the posts. The forum's 'users' are selected in the backend.
Something Kunena is lacking is the ability to create user groups, and then limit forum permissions at a granular level. Joomla's ACL has always been quite limited in my opinion. You are going to need to compensate in order to provide the same features of the larger boards.
Does this look like a possibility for the future, or should I just bridge and hack something like phpBB into my site?
I need to be able to create hidden/private categories and forums, and assign permissions to them based on groups. It would be an added bonus if groups could have the ability to be nested into other groups similar to how security groups work in Active Directory.
In fact, it would be great if all of Joomla were like that. If Joomla had Xoops type permissions I would be in hog heaven. But I think that is a bit beyond the scope of Kunena.
Kunena looks promising; I will keep my eyes open for updates.
I would also like to see the ability to add private groups/forums in Kunena in 1.5. I'm surprised you are working on integration first before the native ability. In my opinion, it's much more important to have the ability to have groups in Kunenea than to integrate. If it is not implemented in Kunena in the near future, we will have to go with phpbb3.
