Five more, still free.

Recurring PayPal donations through PayPal Subscriptions.
Designations / funds — donors choose which fund their gift supports.
Integrations — outgoing webhooks (Zapier, Make) and Mailchimp audience sync.

Four big additions, all free.

Printable receipts & annual tax statements — save-as-PDF receipts and year-end giving statements over signed links.
Offline donation entry — record checks, cash, and gifts taken elsewhere.
Tax-receipt settings, a donor-portal page setting, and a campaign column in the CSV export.
