We're just wrapping up the first of two post-CiviCon code sprints, where 24 people came together at Butcombe Farms near Bristol. People worked on an amazing variety of things to make 4.2 more stable, and to contribute some awesome features to 4.3. Some of the things we did were:

Vanco Payment processor
BackOffice Thinking is pleased to release the Vanco payment processor to the CiviCRM community. Today we are releasing versions for 3.4x and 4.1x and hope to have a 4.2x version shortly.
This processor allows single payment and recurring for credit cards and ACH (electronic check)
The team is excited to announce the second release of 4.2 stable with support for Drupal 7, Joomla 2.5 and WordPress 3.3.
We are looking forward to a great turnout o Tuesday. If anyone has any questions that they'd like addressed please send them to me by Monday.
Best Wishes,
Paul
A few months Back John Derry from The Monthly Magazine wrote a blog about how they were planning to use CiviCRM for magazine subscriptions.
We (nfpservices) have been invited by The Institute of Fundraising Technology Group to provide a joint presentation on how we have implemented CiviCRM for their initial requirements in terms of handling contacts, membership and events and will be working with them on other elements in the future as well.
It's been quite a while since my last CiviMobile update but that's not to say that I haven't been busy :)
The team is excited to announce the fifth and probably final beta release for 4.2 with support for Drupal 7, Joomla 1.7 and WordPress.
Please remember this is a BETA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we strongly encourage everyone to upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems.
If you are a Joomla+CiviCRM user or implementer in the New York City region, you may be interested in some upcoming sessions at JoomlaDay NYC, September 22-23. Details are here: http://www.joomladaynyc.com/
On Saturday I'll be leading an Intro to CiviCRM session that will provide an overview of CiviCRM functionality and touch on some key administrator/implementer considerations.
On Sunday we'll do a developer session that covers implementing CiviCRM hooks through Joomla plugins, PHP/tpl override directories, and an introduction to the API.
If anyone from the CiviCRM community is considering attending and has specific things they'd like to see covered, please comment through this blog and I'll see if I can work it in.
The team is excited to announce the fourth beta release for 4.2 with support for Drupal 7, Joomla 1.7 and WordPress.
Please remember this is an BETA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we strongly encourage everyone to upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems.
