# Community 5.0.5

### Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest Community version updates organizer and venue validation to only require name rather than all fields.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
