Is 3.3 compatible with Drupal 7 by chance? The installation instructions only talk about 3.2 with Drupal 6.

If D7 is not compatible right now, will it be in the near future?

 

We hope to have initial releases of 4.0 in the first quarter of 2011

I have been looking at the demo of the new version. Where do I see the new database logging? When I click Change Log on a contact, it shows the date of the change and user name of the changer, but not what changed. This is how it always worked. Am I looking in the wrong place?

We have a couple of reports for logging where we display the change log. Also check:
