Some people have called our NPSP Release Notes Rundown videos "incredible" (me), "thrilling" (me), and even "the greatest thing to hit the small screen since Homestar Runner" (me, and you should definitely look that up).

After a brief hiatus, the 60-second videos that give you the highlights of every NPSP release are back with episode v3.79! So grab a 5-kernel bag of popcorn and a cup of your favorite Monday morning beverage, and let's start your week right, shall we?
