New Release of Nonprofit Starter Pack Available

[Steve Andersen]

Today we released new versions of all the Nonprofit Starter Pack packages. I recommend that everyone upgrade their packages--there are some nice bug fixes and new features. As always, take care when upgrading. You may want to burn a sandbox before you upgrade, and back up your data. Please read the install instructions, so you know what steps you need to take.

Addressed in all packages:

* More Custom Labels exposed for translation (Spanish and French)
* Better package version names so it's easier to see what versions you have installed from the View Installed Packages link in Setup

Individual Packages

Contacts and Organizations

* Better lead conversion in the one-to-one model
* Deletion of the one-to-one Account is now handled by a trigger rather than a delete button override on Contact
* Simplified installation in a new org
