# 7.3.2 **Release Date**: May 3, 2026 --- # 🌸 ChurchCRM 7.3.2 — Security & Stability Polish **Release Date**: May 3, 2026 **Theme**: Strengthening the Core & Smarter Imports **Version 7.3.2** is a dedicated "protection and precision" update. We’ve focused on hardening the system's configuration files against outside access and smoothing out the workflows for deleting data and importing new members. This release ensures that as your data grows, your system remains organized and safe. --- ## 🛡️ "Deep-Dive" Security Hardening We’ve added extra layers of armor to the parts of ChurchCRM that stay hidden from view but are vital to your church's privacy. * **Configuration Shielding:** We’ve implemented new "deny" rules that block any direct web access to your system's configuration files. This ensures that your server settings and private keys remain completely invisible to the outside world. * **Safe Deletions:** We’ve overhauled the "Delete" process for **Events and Groups**. Previously, deleting a group might leave behind "orphaned" data; now, the system performs a "clean sweep," ensuring that when you remove a category, all associated items are handled safely and correctly. * **Improved Error UX:** If something goes wrong, you’ll now see more helpful, clearly designed error pages. Behind the scenes, the system now sends more accurate "status codes," which helps your web server handle traffic more efficiently. --- ## 📤 Precision Data Imports Our **Member Import** tool continues to get smarter based on your feedback: * **Home Country Support:** When importing a new list of members via CSV, the system now automatically respects your "Default Country" setting. You no longer have to manually fix the country field for every new person you bring into the system! --- ## 🧒 Kiosk Manager Enhancements Checking people in for events just got a little less confusing: * **Dated Events:** In the Kiosk Manager, the event dropdown menu now displays the **date** alongside the event name. This is a huge help for churches that have multiple events with the same name (like "Sunday Service" or "Youth Group") happening in the same week. --- ## 🌍 Global Language Update Our translation team has hit another major milestone: * **1,760 New Terms:** We have updated translations across **40 different locales**. This ensures that even our most recent security updates and Kiosk improvements are clearly explained in your team's native language. --- ## 🛠️ Maintenance & Infrastructure * **Workflow Cleanup:** We’ve consolidated our internal "GitHub Actions" (the robots that help us build the app). This makes our development process faster and helps us release updates to you more reliably. * **Library Refresh:** We’ve updated several core internal components to their latest versions to maintain peak performance and security. --- ## ⚠️ Important Reminder * **Server Requirement:** This version continues to **require PHP 8.4**. * **Guided Upgrade:** Use our built-in update wizard to move safely from 7.3.1 to 7.3.2. --- **Full Technical Changelog**: [[Compare 7.3.1...7.3.2](https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/compare/7.3.1...7.3.2)](https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/compare/7.3.1...7.3.2) *Thank you for being part of our global community as we continue to make ChurchCRM the most secure home for your ministry!* 🌿
