After more than 5 months of design, development and QA - the team is thrilled to announce the release of CiviCRM 2.2 Stable. You can download the release AND / OR try it out on our public demo site.

2.2 features a number of exciting new features, including...

• Soft Credits for contributions
• CiviCase - Case management for human service providers (with thanks to Physician Health Program - British Columbia)
• Simplified configuration option for CiviMail

• .... and 400+ additional improvements and bug fixes
