New Extensions
- Media Scaler - MediaScaler validates, transforms and stores CiviCRM images with privacy-preserving filenames and configurable transformation policies.
- Membership Payer - A CiviCRM extension that separates the organisation paying for an online membership from the individual member.
- Housekeeping - Housekeeping adds a daily scheduled job that purges these on a retention you control, one policy per task.
- JCE Editor - Use JCE as the WYSIWYG editor in CiviCRM (Joomla only).
- CiviVerify - CiviVerify is a generic CiviCRM extension for issuing and redeeming single-use, time-limited verification links.
- Security Hotfix for CIVI-SA-2026-35 - Provides a hotfix for the vulnerabilities (CIVI-SA-2026-35, CIVI-SA-2026-37) published on 5 August 2026.
- Revisionist - Revisionist adds automatic version history to CiviCRM's FormBuilder and SearchKit. Every time a form or search is saved, a snapshot is recorded automatically - so you can browse previous versions, see exactly what changed.
- confirmstep - This provides an API for other extensions to offer a confirm-by-clicking-link-in-email step.
- SearchKit Form - SearchKit Form adds a Form display type to CiviCRM SearchKit.
- Events Listing Block for CiviCRM - Events Listing Block for CiviCRM is a standalone, dynamic Gutenberg block for upcoming public CiviCRM events.
- EventSession - This extension allows the configuration of sessions for an event, which can take place at the same time. Also allows registering for sessions, including waitlist functionality.
- SearchKit Box - SearchKit Box adds an enhanced box grid display type to CiviCRM SearchKit.
- CiviHmac - This extension provides an API3 to do a HMAC check (HmacSignature verify) which will return TRUE or FALSE.
- CiviSMS Connect - CiviCRM SMS-provider extension with adapters for Alinto, Brevo, Mailjet, generic SMPP 3.4 and a non-delivering dummy driver.
- SearchKit Kanban - SearchKit Kanban adds a new Kanban board display type to CiviCRM SearchKit. Instead of a table, list or map, the results of any search are shown as cards laid out in columns, where each column is one value of an option-list field you pick (the pivot) — a status, a stage, a type, a category, and so on.
- Advanced Import Form Processor - Allows use of Advanced Import for complex imports, using the Form Processor interface for mapping and actions instead of custom code.
- OAuth Login - Provide single sign-on for CiviCRM using OAuth/OpenID Connect. Either Keycloak or Google are supported out of the box.
