What is Gromox?
Gromox 3.13 adds scripts to move Exchange-for-All systems onto it.
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly. 3.13 adds scripts to convert E4A systems to Gromox, full two-way sync of IMAP keywords with MAPI categories, multi-message vCard export and audit logging in emsmdb and zcore, and fixes an EWS gap where any user could answer, alter or move meeting requests in other mailboxes. 3.12 moved MAPI-to-internet conversion onto VMIME with RFC 2231 filenames; 3.11 added IMAP FETCH BINARY and Sent Items copies for send-as and send-on-behalf on shared mailboxes.
What is Subsplash?
Subsplash turns its Dashboard Home into one view across every church product
Subsplash runs giving, media, people and workflow tools for churches. Late September brought notes on People profiles and Workflow cards and gift totals in Giving; October added multi-select actions on People. On November 4 the Dashboard Home page expanded from app and media analytics to live cards for People, Giving, Events, Groups, Workflows and Forms, each with trend lines and quick actions.
Gromox vs Subsplash: editorial side-by-side
Gromox
2.5COMMS
Gromox 3.13 adds scripts to move Exchange-for-All systems onto it.
◆ Current state
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly. 3.13 adds scripts to convert E4A systems to Gromox, full two-way sync of IMAP keywords with MAPI categories, multi-message vCard export and audit logging in emsmdb and zcore, and fixes an EWS gap where any user could answer, alter or move meeting requests in other mailboxes. 3.12 moved MAPI-to-internet conversion onto VMIME with RFC 2231 filenames; 3.11 added IMAP FETCH BINARY and Sent Items copies for send-as and send-on-behalf on shared mailboxes.
◆ Where it's heading
The project keeps completing Exchange behaviour for clients that expect it, now including shared-mailbox Sent Items and meeting handling that matches Exchange. 3.13's conversion scripts and audit logging point at migration and compliance as the adoption path, alongside the IMAP work that has run since 3.8. Permission checks on EWS calendar operations show the protocol surface now gets security review, not only coverage.
◆ Prediction
Expect more EWS permission and behaviour corrections and continued IMAP4rev2 coverage; the E4A scripts suggest further migration tooling from other groupware.
Subsplash
5.0COMMS
Subsplash turns its Dashboard Home into one view across every church product
◆ Current state
Subsplash runs giving, media, people and workflow tools for churches. Late September brought notes on People profiles and Workflow cards and gift totals in Giving; October added multi-select actions on People. On November 4 the Dashboard Home page expanded from app and media analytics to live cards for People, Giving, Events, Groups, Workflows and Forms, each with trend lines and quick actions.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is pulling its separate modules into one staff workspace: notes and multi-select made each module more usable, and Home now ties them together. The first-step prompts on Home also show an effort to get churches using products they have not tried.
◆ Prediction
Expect more cross-product actions from Home and further staff-workflow features in People and Workflows.
