  • Add install and runtime status warnings if MySQL utf8mb4 is not supported (13425 and 13682)

    This change adds a warning to the system status page, as well as at install time, if a site's MySQL server does not support the utf8mb4 character set. See also dev/core#749 for an intra-release regression related to this.

  • Record change log entry when contact is moved to or restored from trash (13276)

    This change makes it so that a change log entry is created when a contact is moved to the trash or restored from the trash.

  • Make submitOnce() button js into a button parameter (13333)

    These changes improve performance by removing instances of $dao->free.

    This change adds the "thank you date" field to the Contribution Summary and Detail reports.

  • dev/core#735 Query performance - suppress 'product' and related fields where products are not in the database (13638)

    This change removes the "Premium" column from the Contribution tab for sites that do not use products and improves performance on those sites by not searching for product related fields.

  • Switch additional payment form to use Payment.sendconfirmation api (13649)

    The additional payment form now generates confirmation emails using the new Payment.sendconfirmation API.

  • Payment notification formatting, move greeting into table (13669)

    The greeting in the payment notification email is now aligned with the table of payment information.

  • Update Payment Notification to use greeting, remove text to 'Please print this confirmation for your records. (13655)

    The Payment Notification email no longer asks recipients to "Please print this confirmation for your records." It also is updated to use the email_greeting instead of the display_name for the greeting.

    These changes update the metadata for Contribution and ContributionRecur so that they can be used to autogenerate forms with EntityForm.

CiviMember

  • CiviCRM Membership Detail report, add column to display if membership is Primary or Inherited (13736)

    This change adds a column "Primary/Inherited?" to the Membership Detail report.

    This change improves the styling of the Joomla upgrade screen.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • dev/core#842 Regression?? Inline editing of website field deletes it (13939)

    This resolves a bug where editing a website field inline on the contact summary tab sometimes would delete the field entirely.

  • dev/core#190 custom data with multiple records profile: after submission, profile view shows first record instead of most recent (12337)

    When submitting a profile with files that allow multiple records, the most recently created record is now retrieved on the confirmation page. Before this change, the first record was retrieved.

  • Fix (sometimes serious) performance problem on submitting profiles for specified contacts (13606)

  • dev/core#748 Deadlocks and performance issues when using smartgroups / ACLs extensively (13732)

    This change improves performance of many queries by no longer using the UPPER() and LOWER() MySQL functions.

  • dev/core#397 Dedupe for Individual Birth Date Results in Error (13538)

    This change fixes a fatal error when using a dedupe rule with the birth date field.

  • dev/core#821 Activity: Assigned to: It is not possible to search by the "refine search" drop-down (13893)

    When setting an activity assignee, a bug prevented using the filters in the contact reference field.

  • dev/core#580 No groups displayed on Manage Groups when "All Groups" is selected (13373)

    This resolves a bug where if a user had an ACL that gave them permission to Edit "All Groups" but did not have the permission "View All Contacts", on the "Manage Groups" screen no groups would appear.

  • dev/core#642 New Contact Report: New report isn't created automatically when the user selects the "Create Report" action (13404)

    This resolves a Javascript error when attempting to create a new report from the Constituent Report (Summary) template.

  • dev/core#683 Incorrectly encoded state and country names (13591)

    This change ensures that when countries and state/provinces are added they use proper character encoding.

  • dev/core#691 It is no longer possible to have the default country not set (13523)

    This change makes the default country field on the settings form optional, before this change it was required.

  • dev/core#700 Advanced Search: The reason of failed search result is not displayed, when a contact with the matching Contact ID was not found (13549)

    When using the Advanced Search form to search by contact ID, this change ensures that if there is no matching contact the message states the search criteria.

  • dev/core#708 Advanced Search: The "Modified By" option was set instead of "Added by" (13566)

    In Advanced Search, the listing of search criteria for searches yielding no results would display "modified by" when "added by" was a criterion.

  • dev/core#705 Disabling Alphabetical Pager is not respected for events and contribution pages. (13592)

  • dev/core#714 Manage groups: Error: "API permission check failed for Group/create call; insufficient permission" when the user tries to edit some group's details (13573)

    On the Manage Groups form, if a user does not have permissions to edit a group, the edit link is disabled.

  • dev/core#742 Repeated warning: "simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity ".../xml/Menu/Activity.xml" (13654)

    This change fixes warnings regarding failing to parse the XML file when clearing the CiviCRM caches.

  • dev/report#11 Soft Credit report fails when Only Full Group By is enabled (13671)

  • Remove mcrypt system status check (13770)

    PHP 7.2 does not support mcrypt, which is being deprecated. This removes the status check that would notify administrators if mcrypt is not installed.

  • Fix api bug whereby 0 & '0' are not accepted as range parameters for BETWEEN (13766)

  • Render Note field tokens correctly - they are already HTML. (13283)

  • Rationalise Activity api ACLs for consistency, to respect the hook & improve performance (13664)

    This change alters the way permissions are handled on sites that use ACLs when the activity.get api is called with the 'check_permissions' flag set to TRUE. This would usually be the case for Javascript calls.

  • Upgrader: Don't abort if state_province already exists (13744)

    This change fixes a fatal error when upgrading from 4.7.30 and 4.7.32 if state_province values already exists so that sites with state_province values can safely upgrade from 4.7.30 t0 4.7.32.

  • Do not attempt to store out-of-range street number (13340)

    Before this change attempting to geocode an address with a long street number would result in a fatal error "DB Error Out of range value for column 'street_number'". This change aborts parsing for addresses with long street numbers.

  • geocode job: Do not return more messages than can fit in the log data column (13346)

    This change fixes an error: "DB Error: Data too long for column 'data' at row 1" when running the geocoder job on a site with over 500 unparseable addresses. This error was being thrown because the message in the job log was too big to be saved, and this change makes it so that the message is shortened to fit in the database.

  • only set custom field to null if it is really null, not string 'null' (13042)

    Custom fields saved with NULL, Null, or any value other than null will be saved as-is. A value of null, however, still saves a null value.

  • CRM/Logging - Fix various bugs in schema parsing (13441)

    This change improves logging so that logs return constraints as well as indexes (before this change indexes were not returned), and returns column lengths without surrounding parenthesis and returns arrays using ['index1', 'index2'] syntax instead of [0 => ['constraint_name' => 'foo']] syntax.

  • CRM/Logging - Fix log table exceptions (13675)

    This change ensures that log table exceptions are applied for columns regardless of whether or not they have backticks.

  • Fix html2pdf default PDF format when multiple pdf_format are available. (13543)

    This change ensures that the correct default PDF format is selected when multiple pdf format options are available.

  • Always load recaptcha JS over HTTPS (13601)

    This change ensures that reCAPTCHA is loaded regardless of whether the site is being served over HTTP or HTTPS.

  • If a profile is used to create a contact with a subtype the contact will not have any existing subtypes (13499)

    This change fixes PHP notices being thrown when creating a contact with a subtype via a profile.

  • Remove activitystatus js. Add submitOnce handler for activity create (13342)

    This change makes it so users can only click "save" once when creating an activity to prevent users from accidentally creating multiple activities by clicking save multiple times.

  • Fix contact ID help on advanced search (13569)

    This change ensures the help text appears when one clicks the help icon next to Contact ID on the Advanced Search form.

  • Used buildoptions function to get all groups (13327)

    This change fixes a "DB Error: no such field" message when using the Contact API to get contacts from a group where the group name and group title are different so that no error is thrown.

CiviCase

  • dev/core#684 Case Manager not updating correctly (CiviCRM 5.8.2) (13528)

    This change ensures that if the Case Manager is changed on the Manage Case screen the "(Case Manager)" tag appears correctly.

  • dev/core#739 Field not found when sorting report by Case Type as a section header (13666)

    This change fixes the "Unknown column 'case_civireport.case_type_name' in 'field list'" error thrown on a Case Detail report sorted by the field Case Type with the option "Section Header" checked.

  • dev/core#770 View Case Activity page displays disabled custom fields (13741)

CiviContribute

  • dev/core#644 "From" address on membership renewal notices is wrong (13776)

    In some configurations, contribution receipts would be sent with a contact ID as the "From" address rather than an actual address.

  • dev/core#659 Civi returning 500 errors to Paypal Pro request to civicrm/extern/ipn.php (13796)

    When CiviCRM encounters an error in processing an instant payment notification, it no longer returns HTTP status of 500. PayPal would disable IPN after too many 500 errors, assuming the site is broken.

  • dev/core#716 Add decimals in Contribution Amount on Repeat Contributions Report (13659)

    This change ensures that the Repeat Contributions Report does not truncate the decimals of contributions.

  • dev/core#801 Thank You letters have an invalid 'from' when sending from the contact's email address (13825)

  • dev/core#720 Performance change approved - remove mode & median slow queries (13607, 13630 and 13605)

    This change removes the mode and median stats on the contribution search summary and contribution tab on contacts to improve performance.

  • Remove another instance of 'lower' (13636)

    This change improves performance when searching notes fields on a contribution.

  • dev/core#769 ZIP Archive for multiple batch exports fail (13728)

    This change fixes ZIP Archives for multiple batch exports for instances with any PHP version greater than 5.6.

  • dev/report#7 Transaction Date filter in Bookkeeping Transactions report (13571)

    This change ensures that the trxn_date field on the Bookkeeping Report filter respects the times designated in the filter. Before this change it would only return transactions that occurred at midnight.

  • dev/core#812 Contribution row displayed even if contact has 0 contributions. (13881)

  • Status of test contribution is not fetched on ThankYou page. (13724)

    This change ensures that on a Contribution page with a payment processor that captures payment instantly and does not use the confirmation page, the confirmation message on the Thank You page states the status of the transaction instead of "Your contribution has been submitted...".

  • Move assign of currency for entityForm outside of foreach so order of fields don't matter (13696)

    This change ensures assign currency works regardless of whether currency is before or after the money fields.

  • Find Contributions columns/headers not aligned when "Contributions OR Soft Credits?" filter set to "Soft Credits Only" (13517)

    This change ensures that when running a Find Contributions search with the "Contributions OR Soft Credits?" filter set to "Soft Credits Only" the headers line up with the correct columns.

CiviEvent

  • dev/core#696 Changes to copied event phone and email reflects in original event phone and email (13534)

    This change fixes a bug where if a user copied an event and then edited the email and or phone number on the copy, the changes would be applied to the original event.

  • Fix Custom post outer div class on event registration form (13753)

    This change updates the class applied to the outer div around a custom profile in the post section of the form to use 1 custom_pre-section and 1 custom_post-section instead of two custom_pre-sections.

  • Fix the invocation of post hook for ParticipantPayment ensuring that an id is passed in post hook (13739)

CiviMail

  • dev/core#469 Error on action "Email - schedule/send via CiviMail" with multiple event names filter (13539)

  • CiviMail: Fix reply forwarding for mailers with From: and Return-path: limitations (12641)

  • "Only variable references should be returned by reference" notice in Mail_smtp (220)

    This change fixes a "Only variable references should be returned by reference" PHP notice under various SMTP error conditions.

CiviMember

  • dev/core#631 Problem when merging contacts which have membership records (13588)

    When merging contacts with memberships, the default is now that the "add new" box is checked. This brings memberships over from the left-hand contact without attempting to merge memberships. Merging memberships from the contact merge interface can result in data loss.

Drupal Integration

  • fix broken logic in CRM_Utils_System_DrupalBase::formatResourceUrl() (13400)

    This change fixes a bug where Drupal sites were not processing absolute URLs containing the $base_url passed in from extensions (like Shoreditch) correctly.

  • dev/core#381 civicrm/file/imagefile serving up wrong images (564) Extends work

    This change fixes a problem with the Views file field handler displaying incorrect uploaded images.

Wordpress Integration

  • dev/wordpress#18 wp-cli sometimes fails to find cms path (147)

    This change ensures that the path specified to wp-cli as --path is passed to CiviCRM which fixes some URL errors specifically but not limited to when sending bulk mailings with trackable URLs.

  • infra/ops#878 Add a test matrix for E2E tests on each CMS (13808)
