Zing is planning the development of a CiviHR module.
We are happy to announce first alpha release of CiviMobile v1.0, a mobile interface for CiviCRM. CiviMobile is implemented as CMS independent extension, so it will work in all the CMS supported by CiviCRM.

This release replaces 4.2.3 which was pulled due to a syntax problem in the upgrade script.
If you've downloaded 4.2.3 but not tried to run the upgrade yet, you can trash that tarball and download 4.2.4.
If you tried to upgrade using 4.2.3 and got the fatal error, you can download 4.2.4 and safely run the upgrade again.
if you used the 4.2.3 release to install a NEW CiviCRM site, no additional action is needed. (The bug does not affect new installs.)
At the CiviSprint in Apeldoorn I have spoken with a few people about a 24x7 support system for CiviCRM projects.
I have found a partner in Switzerland who could provide this.
We are still discussing about pricing and setup.
What I see as a possible procedure would be:
We've been using CiviCRM at Bay Area Children's Theatre since 2008, and started using it for ticket sales shortly thereafter. CiviEvent was really designed for event registrations, and there are some differences between an event registration and a ticket purchase, but we found that CiviEvent gave us enough flexibility to use it for ticket sales -- especially with price sets.
Unfortunately we have discovered a syntax problem in the 4.2.3 upgrade script which will cause the upgrade to fail under certain circumstances. We are pulling this release and will replace it with 4.2.4 shortly.
If you've downloaded 4.2.3 and not tried the upgrade yet, you can trash that tarball and then download 4.2.4 shortly.
If you tried to upgrade using 4.2.3 and got the fatal error, you can safely download and run 4.2.4 shortly.
This issue will not affect your site if you installed a new CiviCRM site using 4.2.3.
Training courses, youth groups, sports classes, drama clubs… events like this form the bedrock of many non-profit organisations. As CiviCRM can’t yet handle such complex ‘recurring’ events, a new Make It Happen campaign aims to change that.
WordPress is the most popular content management systems in the world and CiviCRM is the most popular open source CRM for non-profits and the civic sector. With CiviCRM 4.1 support for Wordpress, Wordpress users were able to use the most powerful CMS + CRM combination ever.
