CiviCRM version 5.32.0 is now out and ready to download. This is a regular monthly release.

Upgrade now for the most stable CiviCRM experience: https://civicrm.org/download

Users of the CiviCRM Extended Security Releases (ESR) do not need to upgrade, as there are no ESR-specific bug-fixes or security issues at the moment.

Important announcements and reminders:

  • As of CiviCRM 5.31, installations on Drupal 8 requires a minimum of Drupal 8.5. Drupal 9 is kind of supported but you may want to keep an eye on the CiviCRM/Drupal issues.
  • As of CiviCRM 5.28, the minimum MySQL supported version is 5.6. MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB up to 10.4 are well tested. MySQL 8 works well too and has test coverage (related issue). More information in the official documentation about system requirements. CiviCRM 5.34 will require a minimum of MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.0.2.
