We fixed an Event RSVP Attendees Bug so all RSVPs appear on the Attendees tab
The “Require address” checkbox on Feedback pages now causes back-end validation (after the form is submitted) for the presence of address information, rather than relying on the theme to add front-end HTML validation. Existing themes remain unchanged, and this behavior is now consistent with other page types.
We made a change so that only Admins can delete a payment processor from a nation
Theme and slug information are now available on sent email blasts
We launched a new advanced, multilingual NationBuilder website theme called Momentum. Carefully crafted in-house, Momentum will function in English, French or Spanish depending on your NationBuilder site language setting. Designed with best practices baked-in to encourage maximum engagement, Momentum is beautifully polished for both mobile and desktop. More information about this theme here.
Automation steps in archived steps will no longer be counted in plan usage and shouldn’t block downgrades
We fixed a bug that caused people to still show up on a list after they had been deleted. When deleting a profile from a custom list, it was not removed from the screen after deleting.
We made it possible to filter by all files imported instead of the last 40.
We made some cosmetic updates for recurring donations: we fixed missing translations, made recurring donations show the correct order (most recent first) and displayed a timestamp tooltip.
We fixed a bug so that the link people get in an event autoresponse sends them to a page where they are sorta logged in. Previously the link in that autoresponse was sending people to a page asking them to rsvp instead of allowing them to edit their existing rsvp.
Address inputs for single person view are now localized depending on which country is selected in the dropdown at the top
New signups created via a text keyword on a signup page are now associated with having signed up through that page

All customers using NationBuilder Payments now have reCAPTCHA included on their donation pages! Learn more here.
The page-source search box in automations is no longer case sensitive.
We improved the automation editing experience. When clicking “edit” on an email in an automation, it will now open the new email editor instead of opening the sidebar.
We made the process easier when you need to tag people who are leaving a voicemail by adding an autocomplete to the tag input field.
When starting a recurring donation tied to a membership, any existing recurring donations tied to the same membership will be immediately cancelled.
The membership remains active. Only the existing recurring donations are cancelled IF they are Active, Failed or Pending. There’s no need to cancel them if they are Completed or already Canceled.
We added an extra step to confirm the removal of a domain in the custom domain settings of your nation.
We've added the ability to request all address types on all page types: now you’ll be able to specify which address type is being requested and modify the order of the address inputs for better localization. The default country in the country dropdown will correlate with the nation details. You'll find more information about this change in our documentation here.
Users can now define the type of address they are creating alongside a new signup
When users include URLs on public-facing blog posts, they are now automatically hyperlinked. Links no longer require to be created manually.
We've made significant updates to the text blast recipients workflow to be consistent with that of email blasts. It no longer defaults to send to "All". We've also enhanced permissions on the mailing recipients tab to prevent users from seeing restricted people data.
Control panel users with “Website” access can now access the checkbox tab of signup pages.
We adjusted the zoom level on map view to the whole map when users flip to the map view.
We've made a change to allow for filtering of “address_state” beyond US/CAN/AUS. Every “state” that is saved in the nation will appear as an option in that filter.
We've improved donation V2 pages so that when a donation fails, the amount and frequency selections are retained on the form.
When navigating to pages that require a secure connection (like donation pages), the URL will now always be the custom domain URL instead of "<slug>.nationbuilder.com", as long as SSL is enabled on the site.
