What's new in CiviCRM 5.70
Display images in SearchKit
Build member directories and other listings that display headshots, logos, and more.
FormBuilder date improvements
FormBuilder can now set default dates. Great for adding a hidden "submitted on" date set to today.
UI Overhaul
More screens have the new user interface, making them faster and easier to customize: Relationships tab, Notes tab, CiviCampaign dashboard.
Slow smart group detector
If you have slow smart groups, they will be detected and logged so you can review them later.
Big thanks to Andie Hunt and Alice Frumin for putting up together release notes. If you are upgrading from a very old version of CiviCRM, see the version-specific upgrade tasks.
