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:

Imagine for a moment that CiviCRM is a garden. In all its object oriented complexity lie bugs and weeds that need to be effectively discovered and managed. Managing a garden the size of CiviCRM is a daunting task for one individual, and even a team of developers along with a community of end-users and testers still need help.

Hi Stuart from Korlon LLC here. Thanks to a new feature sponsored via the Make it Happen initiative, we now have membership continuity on the upsell.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we had the a CiviCRM Code Sprint in San Francisco.

CiviCRM versions 3.4.2 and 4.0.2 include a new feature allowing administrators to configure CiviCRM to use Drupal input formats along with their associated WYSIWYG profiles as the WYSIWYG editor. This provides some great benefits for users:

A customer recently asked Fuzion  if the little contact search box in the top left corner could be made available on all their drupal pages and that it link to the contact's Drupal page.

Re-using the Civi-search box seemed a bit too difficult but there was a fairly easy solution to this request using existing drupal modules - finder + views (plus features to deploy).

Last week, Hershel Robinson, created a Drupal module for my client (called CiviCopyAddr) to handle the copying of the primary address into the Billing Address fields via a toggled checkbox.  It's located at https://github.com/hershelsr/civicopyaddr .  We use Authorize.net as the payment processor.  To make it work:

1. Copy the files from the github into a directory call CiviCopyAddr and copy that directory into sites/all/modules and enable the module in Drupal.

One of the best things about CiviCRM 3.4 and 4 for Joomla! users is that hooks are now implemented using the Joomla! plugin system. This actually has always worked, but it was not documented and now it's implemented a lot more cleanly.
