CiviCRM is helping us serve member-based community organizing groups across the
U.S. to keep better track of their events, fundraising, and membership data. It's helping our community to aim higher in terms of what kind of questions they should be asking and what kind of data they should be collecting. We chose CiviCRM because it's the best all-around tool to do what our groups need, AND because it's open source.

I've been working with CiviCRM since 2006 or thereabouts. The community is outstanding in providing support and sharing expertise, which combines with a strong product to enable me in turn to deliver better results for the organisations that I work with. I only hope that over time I will be able to repay the debt by supporting other newcomers to CiviCRM.

Civi is one of those pieces of software that makes you wonder how early humans could have survived without it. Every nonprofit seems to be using Civi for some aspect of their fundraising, and I'm always surprised at the creative ways different people find to make it work for their needs. Happy to be able to help out a bit. There's a lot of energy going into this project--definitely checkout the forums and the IRC channel if you're curious.

The community around CiviCRM is both welcoming and vibrant. CiviCRM as a software solution is a powerful and flexible data management solution for a vast array of nonprofit organizations ranging from the startup NGO to the established multi-million dollar foundation. In our daily work we are seeing more and more NPOs moving away from proprietary systems and single vendor SaaS solutions and embracing the open source community around CiviCRM. Organizations using CiviCRM love the extensibility and the freedoms that come with open source, freedom to choose hosting, freedom to choose project partners, and the freedom to re-use, re-purpose and re-deploy without paying extra.

CiviCRM 3.4.2 and 4.0.2 are released!!!

Submitted by kurund on June 2, 2011 - 04:27

CiviCRM 3.4.2 and 4.0.2 releases includes 100+ bug fixes since the 3.4.1 / 4.0.1 release. Both versions are now available for download. You can also try them out on the public demos: Drupal 6 / Drupal 7 and Joomla 1.5 / Joomla 1.6 sites. We strongly recommend reviewing the 3.4/4.0 highlights post, where you will find out what’s new and hot in this release. The newest CiviCRM versions are:

  • 4.0.2 for Drupal 7 and Joomla 1.6
  • 3.4.2 for Drupal 6 and Joomla 1.5

Important information for multilingual sites

As per this blog post from a month ago, some multilingual data was turned back into monolingual. You will be informed about this during the upgrade process, but do make sure you have a proper backup of your pre-upgrade database, as only the contents for the default language will be preserved.

New and improved CiviCRM API

CiviCRM 3.4 and 4.0 bring you a new and improved API 3, designed from scratch by non-core CiviCRM developers (i.e., people who actually use the API calls on a daily basis). Your existing code utilising API 2 calls should still work, but you’re more than encouraged to test and upgrade it to the new API 3 calls – API 3 is the one that will be developed in the future, while API 2 will only receive critical fixes.

Step up and help out!

The moment of releasing CiviCRM 3.4 and 4.0 is a great occasion to get involved in CiviCRM community. There are many ways you can help make CiviCRM better.

  • Log in to the one of the demos and try out your favourite features. If you find a problem, please report it on the appropriate forum board. Remember that demo data is periodically reset.
  • Download the tarball and upgrade a copy of your site to 3.4.2 or 4.0.2 – let us know if you encounter any problems. This is an especially valuable contribution since we need to have the upgrade process tested on different sets of data. After you’ve done this, play around with your favourite features, with your local data. Problems appearing? Use the appropriate forum board to discuss problems and find solutions (based on the type of question or issue you've got).
  • If you’re a developer and have PHP skills, we strongly encourage you to develop and attach a code patch AND a unit test along with any bug you report through our issue tracker. Ping us on IRC if you need help figuring out how to do this.

What’s new?

Quick list of the most prominent new features and improvements in this release:

  • Comprehensive change logging reports for Contact data and Contributions
  • Ability to REVERT changes to contact data
  • Improvements to extensions mechanism (ability to download extensions automatically)
  • A new improved api

…and other features, sponsored through successful Make it Happen campaigns:

  • Permissioning for Joomla! 1.6 (requires CiviCRM 4.0)
  • Workflow (rules integration) for CiviMail (Drupal installs)
  • Campaign Integration with other CiviCRM components
  • Multi-Site and hierarchical groups support for CiviMail
  • Add Prev/Next links to dedupe merge screen
  • Membership ‘upsell’ – allowing membership type to be changed on renewal while maintaining continuity
  • Credit offline and existing contributions to a personal campaign page

More details on the new features are in the What’s new in CiviCRM 3.4 / 4.0? post.

Downloads

You can download the release from SourceForge. The filenames include the 3.4.2 and 4.0.2 labels, e.g. civicrm-3.4.2-drupal.tar.gz or civicrm-4.0.2-joomla.zip. Make sure you’re downloading the correct version: for Drupal or Joomla. Again, remember that 4.0.x works with Joomla 1.6 and Drupal 7, while 3.4.x works with Joomla 1.5 and Drupal 6.
