Kunena 1.5.6 Security Release
The Kunena Team announces the immediate availability of Kunena 1.5.6 . These are important security releases and users are urged to update immediately. Two security issues have been resolved in this release. This release contains also many important bug fixes.
Security Fixes
Kunena Forum 1.5.6 contains two security fixes:
[#17888] Posting allowed to unauthorized forums by using URL manipulation [#17802] Who is online shows hidden users and IP address
All users of previous FireBoard, JoomlaBoard, and Kunena releases are strongly encouraged to upgrade immediately.
Known issues
While many issues have been resolved, a number of items remain:
- Moderator tools are still incomplete. We disabled the option to split because it might break threads. - New topics in subforum child forums are not shown on the categories page. - Entering wrong Capthca code resets message form. - JomSocial profile links may be pointing to wrong place if there are many JomSocial menu entries. - JomSocial avatars are not shown in user list. - Quick Reply changes '>' to '>' and '<' to '<'. - If administrator or moderator edits posts, the email address saved in that message gets replaced. - Pagination doesn't work in My Messages - Rank images and smilies won't show up in backend if language is something else than English.
Downloading Kunena

Compatibility with Third-party Kunena Templates
Most old templates made for Kunena 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 still work in Kunena 1.5.6. You should upgrade your template as soon as there will be version for Kunena 1.5.6 as they will fix bugs which have been fixed in latest default_ex theme.
Please make sure that your template works in Kunena 1.5.6 before upgrading your live site!
Default (Red, Green and Gray) and all templates based on those are now officially deprecated and will be removed in Kunena 1.6.
Compatibility with Third-party Kunena Modules
All Kunena modules verified to work with Kunena 1.5 should work after upgrading to Kunena 1.5.6. If you use third-party Kunena modules, you should test them with the new Kunena version before upgrading your live site.
Installing or Upgrading Kunena
Be sure your setup matches the minimum Technical Requirements or the install/upgrade process will fail. If it fails, your data will be left untouched.
To install Kunena, make sure you read our Installation Instructions before beginning. To upgrade Kunena from previous versions (including FireBoard), make sure you read the Upgrade Instructions.
The Kunena installer has evolved, been tested, and handles both installs as well as upgrades of existing installs without the need for user intervention or manual SQL execution. It keeps a detailed version log of all versions that have ever been installed on your site in order to be able to perform incremental upgrades as necessary.
We would like to underscore the importance of backups before and after any upgrade process. Never perform an install or upgrade without a full backup.
