🌸 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  • Simplified Settings: We’ve removed outdated "email delimiter" toggles to keep your user settings clean and clutter-free.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.
