Features

Core CiviCRM

  • CRM-21244 Enhancements to "FROM email addresses" (11047)

    A variety of changes have been made to the email addresses available as the "From" address for system messages. The Organization Address and Contact Info form no longer has a field for selecting the From email address--this is now editable by choosing a default on the From Email Addresses page.

    The PDF letter task now allows selecting the from email address.

    You can also now choose whether to add the logged-in contact's email address to the list of from email addresses. If users' addresses are from other domains, they can have deliverability problems if the domain uses SPF or DMARC.

    Additionally, this refactors and centralizes a lot of the code regarding from email addresses.

  • CRM-21573 Allow to disable sending of email from activity source contact email for receipt (11424)

    Now activity notifications will not send from the source contact's email address if the site is not set to allow emails from the logged-in contact.

  • CRM-21719 Require Multibyte PHP Extension (11612 and 11599)

    The Multibyte String PHP function support is now a requirement for installing CiviCRM.

  • CRM-21225 Add a new field, Profile Title so that the Profile Name does not serve a dual purpose of labelling the Profile and displaying the Title for the Profile fields publicly (11508 and 11503)

    Profiles can now be given a public title to display on frontend forms that is distinct from the name for internal purposes.

  • CRM-21654 Support custom file field on Batch Entry Profile (11520)

    File fields are no longer suppressed when batch editing data using a profile, and if the field currently has a file, the form displays its name.

  • CRM-21751 Move SMS provider ID to 'Select Recipients' page from 'SMS content' (11656)

    The field for choosing the SMS provider now appears before the recipient selection fields.

  • CRM-20769 Allow for Button Text on profiles to be overriden in settings (11598) (completes previous work)

    The profile quick editor now allows setting the cancel and submit button text.

    A trashcan link now allows all websites to be removed from a contact.

  • CRM-21750 Add support for addressee_id, email_greeting_id, postal_greeting_id to api Contact.get (11654)

    Greeting type ids can now be filtered in the Contact API.

  • CRM-21707 Handle metadata based serialisation in apiv3 basic_create_fallover (11648, 11607, and 11583)

    The standard function for Create actions in the API now uses the serialization metadata to format multiple values for saving.

  • CRM-21140 Agree & (if applicable) implement approach to storing extension data for entities / tables (11567) (preliminary work)

    The API can now be used to create custom data sets for profiles, price sets, and payment tokens. This is envisioned as a way for extension writers to store extended data about these entities.

  • CRM-21674 Allow proximity search to accept lat & long at the BAO/api level & custom search form (11542)

    Proximity search via the API or custom search now accepts a latitude/longitude combination as an alternative to an address to use as the center point.

  • CRM-21717 Allow for selecting multiple relationship types in advanced search (11595)

    Advanced Search now allows for searching for contacts with one of multiple specified relationship types.

  • CRM-21634 Standardise component search options for contact fields, add contact type (11492 and 11538)

    Contact fields on the search forms for contributions, pledges, memberships, and participants now share a common structure in both appearance and code.

  • CRM-21020 alterMailContent hook: pass additional contextual details (10815)

    When a message is sent via a template, additional details about the template are provided to functions invoking hook_civicrm_alterMailContent.

  • Add API parameter for fix_address (11372)

    When saving an address using the API, you can now bypass a handful of fixes that normally get applied.

  • CRM-21741 For in-place editing, allow data-params to be passed to CRM.api3 (11639)

    Sites about to install CiviCRM can now indicate whether to use the new installer library by the presence of a file named .use-civicrm-setup. A new tarball will be generated for each version of CiviCRM named civicrm-*-wporg.zip. This new tarball will be equivalent to the civicrm-*-wordpress.zip files except that it uses the new installer and displays a series of opt-ins in order to satisfy WordPress.org requirements.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • CRM-21715 Activity Report: move the SQL creation to a buildQuery function (11584)

    This resolves a fatal error that would appear when exporting to CSV from the Activity Report.

  • CRM-21334 Fire hooks on contact image deletion (11163)

    The expected hooks are triggered when deleting a contact image.

  • CRM-21701 street addresses are not reliably parsed (11579)

    Street addresses are now parsed whenever they're edited if address parsing is enabled. Previously, this was only done if USPS address standardization was enabled.

  • CRM-21629 Resource URL status check gets false positive when blank user agents are blocked (11488)

    The system check for verifying resource URLs now sets a user agent header when making HTTP requests to the server.

  • CRM-21591 PHP 7.1 issue Non well form numeric value encountered when viewing the misc settings screen (11505 and 11447)

  • CRM-21618 Add missing structure in templates (11478 and 11457)

  • CRM-21670 Search of active relationships does not appear on Relationship Report (11537)

    This restores the filter in the Relationship Report for a relationship's active period. The filter had been removed accidentally in a past improvement.

  • CRM-20996 Copy profile from wizard duplicates 'name' in database (11597)

    This ensures that the profile machine name is unique when copying profiles. A database error would result when copying profiles while editing events or contribution pages.

  • dev/core#2 Display Inbound Email: linefeed suppressed (11661)

    When viewing an activity, the Details field now displays line breaks that are in the original. This is important in viewing the text of inbound email activities.

  • CRM-21738 Merges not copying viewOnly data (regression but not recent) (11636)

    View-only custom data was not copying to the merged contact when merging two contacts.

  • CRM-21742 Use form validation rather than Exception handling for proximity seach (11643)

    Support is removed for the now-defunct Yahoo geocoding service.

  • CRM-21737 New option value validation is too tight for languages (11633)

    Option values for language now only need to have a unique name rather than a unique value.

  • Website api - fix nonstandard BAO delete method (11625)

    Deleting a website now uses a standard method that invokes all the usual hooks.

  • Use mb_strlen() in ellipsify() to avoid excessive multibyte truncation (11594)

    This resolves problems truncating text with multibyte characters to a shorter length than intended.

  • CRM-21524 CiviCRM exports (postal) mailing lists including Contacts clearly marked is_deceased in the database (11527)

    This ensures that exports suppress deceased and "do not mail" contacts prior to merging rows with the same address. Previously, contacts sharing an address with a deceased contact in the same search result would be merged with them in the results.

  • CRM-21687 MariaDB 10.2 and logging: log_civicrm_activity schema syntax error (11580)

  • CRM-21651 Contact :: New Email/SMS : loading failed when no contact is found (11506)

    A contact's Preferred Communication Method field now defaults to its current value when included in a profile.

  • CRM-18300 "Permission denied" message re contact on CiviCRM dashboard (11470)

  • CRM-21614 Tag UI doesn't appear to respect reserved tags permission (11469)

    This resolves a problem where a non-privileged user editing a reserved tag would appear to be able to make edits, but the edits would not take effect.

  • CRM-21744 Fix proximity custom search to work with smart groups (11645)

  • CRM-21159 Address fields cause DB errors when adding contacts to group from Search Builder (11524 and 11422)

    Monetary amounts are now more consistently cleaned in the form layer.

  • CRM-21323 Fix backend credit card payment processor selection (11530)

    This resolves a problem when a backend credit card contribution form fails validation: the first payment processor listed would load instead of the one selected.

  • CRM-20625 Better Payment Processor extension error handling (11631)

    This resolves a problem where CiviCRM would crash attempting to load a payment processor provided by a disabled or missing extension.

  • CRM-21698 On some systems recording a negative contribution results in a $0 contribution (11577)

  • dev/core#1 Allow to search for "in progress" contributions (11640)

  • Amount and source could exceed max length of subject column (11593)

    The activity corresponding to a contribution is given a subject based upon the contribution source and amount. Since the combined string could be longer than the activity subject field's maximum length, this truncates it with an ellipsis.

  • CRM-21721 Notice : Division by zero (11623 and 11601)

    This resolves a PHP notice that would appear when submitting a $0.00 contribution using a price set.

    The process of building recipient lists for CiviMail has been refactored to be simpler and faster.
