What's new in Sevastack

This release brings drafts for broadcasts, the ability to reverse a stock movement in inventory, and a quicker way to add a fixed asset. Depreciation in the fixed assets register is now safer, checking financial year order and refreshing forecasts on its own. Invite links shared over WhatsApp or email now show a proper branded preview without revealing the invitee's email address.

This release adds a combined receipt option for in-kind donations, so gifts of goods and services can be acknowledged and emailed from the donation record itself. Members can now be set up to automatically create a matching donor record when they join, saving duplicate data entry. The donor list and public website also load faster, with clearer text, better error messages and a new reminder of upcoming statutory filing dates.

This release brings two new areas to Seva Stack: pledges, so you can record a donor's promised amount and link donations against it as they arrive, and a policy register under Governance for maintaining organisational policies with supporting documents and staff declarations. Deleting donors, volunteers and fixed assets is now safer, with clearer confirmation details, proper error messages and a return to the correct list afterwards. Payroll now recognises off days when working out attendance-based deductions, and certificate design images are compressed before upload.

This release adds better handling of unpaid interns and honorary members in HR and Payroll, including stipend settings, and lets you mark off-days and holidays directly on the attendance grid. Staff who raise support issues now get a pop-up in the dashboard when there is an update on their request. The public website and blog have also been improved with a table of contents, search and filters, and an upcoming compliance deadlines section.

This release brings compensatory off to HR: you can grant comp-off for off days worked, and staff can request it from their portal for admin approval. Projects now have a documents area with version history, in-kind donations accept a single total gift value and an approximate valuation basis, and issued certificates can be emailed to recipients. Employee selection across leave, advances and reimbursement forms is now a searchable picker, and donations received through online payment gateways no longer store placeholder donor contact details.

This release introduces expert-hosted masterclasses, so independent CSR consultants can list and sell their own training sessions, collect payments through Razorpay or UPI, and manage registrations from a dedicated expert area. Receipt emailing for donations is now safer, as the system will not send the same receipt twice unless you deliberately choose to resend it. Public expert and training pages have also been polished, with better previews when links are shared and clearer event countdowns.

This release focuses on hiring, attendance reminders and subscription billing. Job postings now carry an employment type through to hiring and employee records, attendance reminders respect a grace period before nudging staff, and subscription invoices show the service period and payment mode. Public NGO and cause listing pages have also been simplified, and the monthly referral reminder email has been discontinued.

This release adds a prompt that asks you to refresh your browser tab when a newer version of Seva Stack has been released, so you are never working on an out-of-date screen. The dashboard sidebar now carries quick buttons for notifications and creating new records, and several screens including HR employees, Inventory, Fixed assets and Settings have tidier layouts. We have also strengthened checks that keep each organisation's data separate and added automatic monitoring of suspicious activity.
