About CiviCRM
CiviCRM holds its nonprofit CRM steady with 6.x point releases and quiet dependency modernization.
CiviCRM is in steady maintenance mode on its 6.x line, shipping frequent patch releases that fix narrow bugs like membership receipt tokens and tidy release infrastructure. The most substantive recent move is dropping the legacy Smarty v2 templating dependency, which modernizes the stack beneath an otherwise stable feature surface. This is a mature open-source CRM prioritizing reliability over new capability.
