Users of the CiviCRM Extended Security Releases (ESR) do not need to upgrade. The current version of ESR is CiviCRM 5.75.x.
We are committed to keeping CiviCRM free and open, forever. We depend on your support to help make that happen. We thank all our partners, members and ESR subscribers, who are regular financial contributors. If you can, please donate.
What's new in CiviCRM 5.80
Advanced Search mini-redesign
More responsive, compact, with more focus on what matters in daily searches (screenshots).
Improved SMS reports
And by improved, we mean there are now reports to view basic data such as group recipients, the message that was sent.
Beta: RiverLea is now bundled with core
The new default theme is now shipping 🚀. It is not yet enabled by default, but you can switch it on and let us know what you think! Why another theme? See Nic's blog post.
Beta: CiviCRM does not require a CMS anymore
Previously known as "CiviCRM Standalone", now just "CiviCRM". See also Ben's Next steps for CiviCRM Standalone.
