New versions of 3 Nonprofit Starter Pack packages

[Steve Andersen]

I’m happy to announce new releases of 3 of the Nonprofit Starter Pack packages—Contacts and Organizations, Households, and Recurring Donations.

I recommend installing these packages as they each include bug fixes.

They also include some nice new features:

• Upgrading is easier
• Replaced S-Controls in favor of VisualForce
• Automatic Household Contact roles on Opportunities
• Campaigns in Recurring Donations
• Better handling of translations
  

You can see all the issues that I worked on for this release: http://code.google.com/p/npsp/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AMilestone-Spring10&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Priority+Milestone+Owner+Summary&sort=&mode=grid&y=Package&x=Status&cells=tiles&nobtn=Update
