What is CiviCRM?

CiviCRM's feed jumps from 6.14 to 6.19.3.1, and the visible change is a dependency tweak.

CiviCRM is a mature open-source CRM for nonprofits on a frequent 6.x point-release cadence. The newest entry, 6.19.3.1, only loosens the PhpSpreadsheet version requirement. The feed skips from 6.14.1 in May to this release, so several minor versions of change are not visible here. Earlier entries show narrow fixes and the removal of the legacy Smarty v2 dependency.

What is IntegCRM?

IntegCRM adds document folders, turning back to client records after two email releases.

IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and marketing email. The newest release lets users organize a client's documents into folders, after a pre-send spam check and mobile view controls in the email builder. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.

CiviCRM vs IntegCRM: editorial side-by-side

C2.5

CiviCRM's feed jumps from 6.14 to 6.19.3.1, and the visible change is a dependency tweak.

◆ Current state

CiviCRM is a mature open-source CRM for nonprofits on a frequent 6.x point-release cadence. The newest entry, 6.19.3.1, only loosens the PhpSpreadsheet version requirement. The feed skips from 6.14.1 in May to this release, so several minor versions of change are not visible here. Earlier entries show narrow fixes and the removal of the legacy Smarty v2 dependency.

◆ Where it's heading

What is visible is maintenance: version bumps, a receipt-token fix, dependency modernisation. The version jump implies the minor-release train kept running, but the entries carry none of its content.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 6.19.x or 6.20 point releases; the entries give no basis for predicting feature direction.

I5.0

IntegCRM adds document folders, turning back to client records after two email releases.

◆ Current state

IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and marketing email. The newest release lets users organize a client's documents into folders, after a pre-send spam check and mobile view controls in the email builder. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.

◆ Where it's heading

The recent run of releases points at email marketing as the active build area, after a year spent on invoicing and bookings. Back-to-back email-builder releases suggest IntegCRM wants campaigns to work inside the CRM without a separate email tool.

◆ Prediction

More email-builder work looks likely, plausibly deliverability or campaign reporting, though the headline-only changelog makes the specifics hard to call.
