GrowPoint 3.8.0 (September 2022)

### Attention – Nerd Zone ###
Massive overhaul of the GrowPoint infrastructure and codebase.

The goal of this update is not to create any new functionalities but to strengthen the foundation of the system, which will allow us to shift faster and more reliable code for you.

Some of the things we worked on (since January 2022) are:

  • Analytics/archived data serving update
  • Framework update
  • PHP update
  • Response times optimization (in some cases we managed to reduce the response time 10x compared to previous GrowPoint versions)

Our stats show that we’ve changed more than 4300 files!

We are excited about this major (although for most users – invisible) step in our journey to bring you the most effective and safe tool for your ministry.
