Version 5.12 release – Wild Apricot

Released on August 28th, 2017

Version 5.12 release of Wild Apricot consists of the following changes and enhancements.

Donations

You can now filter the Donations list by date, or by the value of a custom donation field, such as fund. You can filter by any custom donation field of the dropdown or radio buttons type.
Now, the donations report can be grouped not just by tender, but also by any donation field of the dropdown or radio buttons type. The donations report is now also available from the financial reports screen.

Exporting financial details

All common fields
Origin details (Event name/date, Registration type, Membership level)
All taxes
Payment date

When exporting payments and refunds, you can now choose whether to include or exclude the following:

All common fields

Contact ID

These extra options appear only when exporting to a spreadsheet, not when exporting to QuickBooks.

Events

The following enhancements have been made to the Events module.

The option to set the event access permissions is now labelled Visible to. Previously, the option simply identified the current access setting.
The options to duplicate and delete events have now been combined into an Edit dropdown menu.
The confirmation dialog that appears after you choose the option to delete an event with registrations has been revised to clarify the consequences of deleting an event.
When editing event details, the content editor toolbar now appears within the Description box, instead of at the top of the screen.
Event announcements that contain the {Registration buttons} macro will appear on the Emails tab with the phrase Response requested below the email link.
If you click the Send now button to send announcements for an event for which registration is not currently available, you will be warned that recipients will be unable to register for the event.
An Add to calendar link now appears on the event registration confirmation screen.
When specifying the end date for an event, the calendar control now begins at the start date, saving you from having to scroll from the current date.

Members and contacts

An option is now available when adding a new member or assigning membership to a contact to send the application initiation email to the member.
A new search criteria has been added allowing you to search for members with recurring payment profiles.
When a member’s renewal date or membership level is changed manually by an administrator, notes will be added to the Internal use area indicating who made the change and when.

Email

When customizing various system emails, the preview pane now displays actual data in place of macros.

reCAPTCHA in place of Captcha on blogs and forums

To reduce spam, Wild Apricot is using reCAPTCHA in place of Captcha for security checks on blog and forum pages. reCaptcha is considered to be easier to use and harder to bypass.

For administrators, no changes are required. If you've already enabled the existing Captcha for your blogs or forums, then it will be automatically replaced by reCAPTCHA.

For visitors to your site, the appearance is slightly different but the overall behavior is the same. The main difference is that new reCAPTCHA is tougher for spambots to crack, providing better anti-spam protection.
