CiviCRM provides a vital tool whereby nonprofits and other social projects can implement strong contact-relationship management capabilities without high monthly fees. It also provides the integration and customization capabilities necessary to make such software useful in the complex, lived reality of doing social engagement work. Plus it continues to build the open source toolset made available to the Commons and grow the common good.

In New York City we have been fortunate to have had in person user group meetings. It has been useful to CiviCRM see case studies presented by companies and individuals. To learn about how people use and customize CiviCRM for different types of organizations. It is also useful to meet in person other implementers, developers and users to work with on professional and volunteer projects. I think it is also important and fulfilling to try to share knowledge and resources with others to help sustain the community and project.

City Bible Forum is an Australian not-for-profit Christian organisation. We need to communicate effectively with our constituents, and CiviCRM gives us a comprehensive set of tools for managing relationships. Interestingly, we often find that new features are being added just as our need for those features is becoming apparent. It's the right fit for us.

The CiviCRM community is a great place for support, to exchange ideas and to contribute back. Working with other developers or users has often allowed me to pool our resources together and lower our costs, while ensuring better quality since there were more people using it.

I have consistently found the CiviCRM community to be welcoming, inclusive and supportive, and this has inspired me to want to become a part of it. It is great that the open source community allows everyone to benefit from the contributions that each of us is able to make, and I am making my own contributions as I can.
As a software product, CiviCRM is powerful, versatile and extensible and is enjoying active development and growth by the community that uses it.

Submitted by kurund on January 25, 2012 - 02:18

The team is excited to announce the third beta release for 4.1 with support for Drupal 7, Drupal 6, Joomla 1.7/1.6, and the integration with Wordpress 3.3 (wohoooo!!!).

 

Please remember this is a BETA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we  strongly encourage everyone upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems.
 

You can also test drive the release on each platform using the public sandboxes:

  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 7
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 6
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Joomla 1.7
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Wordpress

Please spend some time running through your critical workflows on these sandboxes, and report any bugs or issues on the release testing forum board.

 

What's new?

Here's a quick list of some of the cool new features and improvements in this release:

  • Personal Campaign Pages for events - CRM-8534
  • Scheduled Reminders for Events - CRM-8669
  • Social networking plugins (Facebook "like", Tweet ...) for event and contribution pages - CRM-8737
  • Support for case custom fields - CRM-8508
  • Simplified Administrator menus - CRM-9059
  • Assign multiple contact subtypes and change subtypes  - CRM-8357
  • Consolidate CiviCRM Cron to provide a single interface for configuring the automated scripts- CRM-8358

Want to learn more? Check out the complete list of new and improved functionality on the issue tracker.

 

Step up and help out!

The moment of releasing CiviCRM 4.1beta3 is a great occasion to get involved in CiviCRM community. There are many ways you can help make this release better and bug free.
 

  • Log in to the one of the sandboxes and try out the features you or your clients use regularly. If you find a problem, first check the open issues list on the issue tracker to see if it's already been reported. If not, please report it on the appropriate forum board. Remember that sandbox data is periodically reset.
  • Download the tarball and upgrade a copy of your site to 4.1 - 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 favorite features, with your local data. Problems appearing? Use the CiviCRM 4.1 release testing board on the forums to discuss problems and find answers!
     
  • 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.

 

Downloads

You can download the release from SourceForge - select from the civicrm-latest section. The filenames include the 4.1beta3 labels, e.g. civicrm-4.1beta3-drupal.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.beta3-joomla.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.beta3-wordpress.tar.gz. Make sure you're downloading the correct version: for Drupal or Joomla or WordPress.

 

New Installations

If you are installing CiviCRM 4.1beta3 from scratch, please use the corresponding automated installer instructions:

  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 6
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Joomla 1.7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Wordpress

 

Upgrading to 4.1.beta3

  • Upgrade Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 4.0 Sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Drupal 6 / CiviCRM 3.x sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Joomla Sites to 4.1

We will continue to include automated upgrades for subsequent beta releases of 4.1 - so you should be able to upgrade your test site easily over the course of the release cycle.
