Version 8.0.61

We're thrilled to unveil our latest product release, the August 2026 Update (Version 8.0.61)! This update delivers a series of targeted improvements and essential bug fixes designed to make your daily tasks smoother and more efficient.

Enhanced Spam Detection for Website Trial Requests

We've heard your feedback about the time spent sifting through unwanted submissions. Previously, our spam detection for club website trial requests wasn't always sufficient, leading to a high volume of illegitimate or unwanted entries cluttering your inbox and database.

The Benefit for You: This significant enhancement strengthens our spam detection mechanisms. You'll now experience a cleaner, more manageable list for trial requests, allowing your team to focus their valuable time and resources on engaging with genuine, interested prospects. This means less administrative overhead and a more efficient lead generation process.

Streamlined Parent Registration Updates

We identified an unexpected hurdle during parent registration updates. Users reported that the 'Sex at Birth' and 'Competition Gender' fields were sometimes unexpectedly marked as required, even when configured as optional in the form settings. This created unnecessary friction and confusion.

The Benefit for You: This bug has been resolved! Parent registration updates are now smoother and more intuitive. You can trust that your form settings will be respected, ensuring a hassle-free experience for parents and greater flexibility in how you collect essential information, aligning perfectly with your privacy and data collection policies.

Accurate GoCardless Payment Tracking

For those utilizing GoCardless for payments, we've addressed a critical issue related to invoice status updates. When an initial GoCardless collection attempt failed but a subsequent retry was successful, the invoice status was not automatically updating to "Paid."

The Benefit for You: This fix ensures your financial records are always accurate and up-to-date. You'll no longer need to manually verify and update invoice statuses after delayed GoCardless payments. This means less manual reconciliation, improved financial reporting accuracy, and greater peace of mind knowing your payment tracking is reliable.

Reliable Membership Renewal Communications

We discovered a bug affecting membership renewal emails: if the 'Groups' field was left unselected or blank during the sending process, no emails were dispatched. This could lead to missed renewal opportunities and increased administrative effort.

The Benefit for You: Your membership renewal process is now more robust and reliable. This fix guarantees that your crucial renewal emails are sent as intended, regardless of the 'Groups' field selection. This ensures consistent communication with your members, helps prevent lapses in membership, and saves your team valuable time that would otherwise be spent troubleshooting or manually following up.
