I am preparing to release a new version of the nonprofit starter pack. Coding and testing is complete, I’m just waiting on resolution of an internal technical issue. Once that is resolved I'll send out another announcement that all the packages have new releases. There are updates to all 5 of the packages—the Relationship package has only one very small change.
