I’m happy to announce the rebuilding of CiviCRM translation resources. If you’ve been a visitor to our Transifex page previously, you know that CiviCRM always ran two concurrent sets of translation resources – one for the stable version and one for the upcoming version (since its first beta release). This was cumbersome – and is the past now.

The team is excited to announce the release of CiviCRM 3.3.6 - it is now available for download. You can also try it out on our demo site. This is a bugfix release resolving a few issues.

Update: We now have sponsorship committed for 63% of this project and have started a Make-it-Happen Campaign!

CiviEvent is the most popular CiviCRM Component. We get a steady stream of feature requests along with quite a few patches. We were approached recently by an organization that wanted to add Reminder Emails for CiviEvent.

Stable is getting close! This week, we bring you totally new thrill in CiviCRM Releases series (season 3.4/4.0) - the BETA1!

However, in the v2 Location API there was already a param 'version' which was used to determine if the older functionality of the Location API (CiviCRM version 2.2 and older) was used or the newer functionality (CiviCRM 3 and onwards). So the code looked like this:

Paging all multilingual CiviCRM users: We’re considering turning some of the multilingual fields back to be monolingual (i.e., have the same values in all languages, even on a multilingual installation), and your feedback on this is crucial.

Hi all,

as announced earlier the Location API is no longer with us in the API v3 version. It was a beast of an API, too smart for its own good and certainly to smart for the API team!
