CiviCRM

CRM
Velocity2.5

Open-source constituent relationship management for nonprofits and associations

civicrm.org ↗

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

crmnonprofitmaintenanceopen-sourcedependencies
◆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.

    6.19.3.1: PhpSpreadsheet version requirement loosened

    A dependency-constraint tweak on the 6.19 line that users will not notice. It is the first entry since May, and the feed carries nothing for 6.15 through 6.19.3 in between.

    6.12.1: Drop Smarty v2 templating dependency

    Dropping the Smarty v2 templating dependency in 6.12.1 is the most substantive recent move — invisible to end users but a real tech-debt reduction that affects extension and template authors and modernizes the underlying stack.
