🌸 ChurchCRM 7.5.1 — The "Global Reach & Smarter Tools" Update
Release Date: July 26, 2026
Theme: Built-In Email Composer, Universal Local Currency, and LTR/RTL Language Alignment
Version 7.5.1 delivers major quality-of-life enhancements for your church's day-to-day operations. This update introduces a powerful built-in email composer, expands custom local currency formatting across all financial reports, overhauls the Fundraiser dashboard, and applies extensive structural fixes for global, non-Latin, and right-to-left (RTL) languages.
✉️ New In-App Email Composer
Say goodbye to character limits and broken external email links!
- No More Cut-Off Recipient Lists: Clicking email links across Member, Cart, and Group pages now opens a clean, built-in email composer instead of relying on external
mailto:links. This eliminates the old 2,000-character link limit that previously broke mass emails for larger congregations. - One-Click Clipboard Copy: Easily copy full recipient lists to your clipboard for use in external mail clients when sending large announcements.
- Simplified Settings: We’ve removed outdated "email delimiter" toggles to keep your user settings clean and clutter-free.
💱 Universal Currency Formatting Across All Reports
Building on the finance customization introduced in 7.5.0, your custom local currency settings now extend across the entire system.
- Localized Financial Reports: All generated PDF reports—including deposit slips, end-of-year tax statements, pledge summaries, and payment reminders—now automatically use your configured local currency symbol and decimal format instead of defaulting to hardcoded dollar signs (
$).
🏛️ Revamped Fundraiser Management
Our fundraising tools have received a comprehensive user interface overhaul to give you better visibility into church projects.
- Expanded Campaign Tracking: Fundraiser campaigns now support end dates, status tracking, campaign types, target goal amounts, and direct links to specific accounting funds.
- Campaign Details & Archives: Enjoy a dedicated detail view for active campaigns, a new archive page for completed fundraisers, and an integrated "Fundraisers" system calendar to keep your community informed.
🌍 Global Language & Word-Order Precision
We've made significant investments in how ChurchCRM handles world languages, specifically addressing word-order rules for dynamic terms and non-Latin scripts.
- SOV & Complex Grammar Fixes: Resolved word-order defects in automated phrase consolidation (such as "Add New [Item]" or "Delete Confirmation"). Languages with Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structures—such as Japanese, Korean, and various non-Latin scripts—now render natural, grammatically correct action prompts.
- RTL & Script Clean-up: We stripped out embedded HTML fragments, dangling colons, and decorative punctuation from translation strings. This ensures smooth visual alignment across both Left-to-Right (LTR) and Right-to-Left (RTL) languages without broken layout containers.
- 42 Localized Locales: Updated POEditor translation sweeps across all supported languages ensure that new email composer alerts and fundraiser labels speak your team's native language.
🪲 Important Fixes & Enhancements
- Accurate Member Classification Filters: Fixed an indexing issue on the People Dashboard where filtering by classification skipped past the third option, ensuring your member directory lists remain completely accurate.
- Smooth Upgrade Wizard: Resolved an intermittent issue where stray server notices could cause the upgrade wizard to show a false "upgrade failed" alert even when the update completed successfully.
- Embeddable Public Calendars: External calendar sharing links can now be seamlessly embedded within third-party church website frames.
- Polished Interface Dropdowns: Fixed visual menu clipping on group member tables and event lists so options no longer get cut off at the edge of the screen.
⚠️ Upgrade Reminder
- Guided Upgrade: Our built-in upgrade utility is ready to transition your site smoothly from 7.5.0 directly to 7.5.1 with a single click.
