# Change Log - Current Release

*Scheduled maintenance will occur between on the first weekend of each month between: Saturday, 11:00 PM - Sunday, 3:00 AM CT.*

**Announcement:** 

- On October 21, 2026 an announcement went out possible security issues associated with PHP codebase. Samaritan Development team immediately began researching the security issues. Since part of our codebase uses PHP, we were able to upgrade PHP to version **8.2.35**, which solved the security issues. This was completed without any interruption of service. For more information: [https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php](https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php)

      **Sprint 159                                QA - 10/13/26                                Production 10/20/26**

- New option for Non Opportunity type Surveys to hide entires from the "Most Recent Service" volunteer grid column, which is designed to show reported hours.

           ***Here’s a look down the path at what we’re packing up for future releases:***

- **Opportunity Workflows (Now in Private Beta):** Track position descriptions and core competencies for volunteers on an opp-by-opp basis.
- **Database UX/UI Redesign (Targeting Early 2027):** Modernizing our database interface to match the clean aesthetic of our front end. This update transforms a 29-year platform into a fresh, intuitive workspace designed to simplify your day-to-day tasks.
