Attention if you use the system icons with custom systemicons.xml file
We have fixed the issue with new icons, so if you use the system icons (backend - config - frontend - Selectable Topic Icons = "NO").Then you need to update your custom systemicons.xml see this example: PR Link
Update instructions
Because K5.0 has depricated the old templates, you should do a backup first (files and database). After the update. You need to recheck the settings. Kunena Configuration and on the template itself (template manager - click on the template name).
Upgrading to K 5.0 involves changes that may affect Kunena's interoperability with other extensions installed on your site. For this reason it is advisable that you first test K 5.0.7 on a test site before you upgrade your live production site(s). At this stage the team is not treating interoperability with other Joomla extensions as the topmost priority. The main priority at this time is about installation/upgrade and operability as a standalone Joomla component.
K 5.0.7 is available for download on the download page.
