Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Minimum supported PHP version is 7.0 (14437, 14459)

    CiviCRM now requires PHP 7.0 or higher. While sites running PHP 5.6 will be able to upgrade to CiviCRM 5.14.0, they will see an error message saying it is no longer supported. Upcoming changes to CiviCRM will not be evaluated with regard to PHP 5.6 compatibility, and new sites installing CiviCRM must have PHP 7.0 or higher.

  • civi.api.prepare - Allow dynamic wrappers (preliminary work for dev/core#873: 14047)

    This furthers the goal of allowing users to A/B test subject lines in Mosaico by allowing extension developers to dynamically wrap an API using a listener for the new civi.api.prepare event.

  • Make DAO fields more consistent (14072)

    This PR makes it so the 'where' field is populated regardless of whether import or export is set. The goal of this pull request is to simplify some of the metadata based magic by trying to get the meaning of import & export closer to the original intent.

  • Hook to alter menubar css variables & fix breakpoint in WP (14135 and 14420)

    A new hook, hook_civicrm_getAssetUrl(), allows modifying parameters for a semi-static asset like a CSS file that takes certain parameters. The result is that the menu bar is more flexible and configurable, and this fixes a couple of issues with it in WordPress at certain widths.

  • Replace jcalendar instances with datepicker (continues dev/core#561: 14150 and 14099)

    The campaign search form and pledge forms now use datepicker instead of the deprecated jcalendar for choosing dates.

  • Result filter criteria doesn't show IS NULL/IS NOT NULL for operations (dev/core#865: 14028)

    Allow users to access to the operations IS NULL and IS NOT NULL when choosing report filters for multiselect fields.

  • Allow url to set IS NULL/ NOT NULL in report for operations (dev/core#876: 14052)

    Makes it so that the newly added filter options IS NULL/ NOT NULL (added above) can be passed via URL.

  • Convert dedupe select to select 2 and remove not-used var (14161)

    On the Dedupe rules form, the "Field" drop-downs are converted to Select2 fields.

  • Add function filterLinks to return an array of links for an entity that can be used by the API / form layer to generate a link (14112)

    Adds the function filterLinks (CRM_Core_Action::filterLinks()) which can be used to generate link html client-side. This function is currently unused, added in preparation for CiviCase link refactoring.

  • Add serialize metadata to tag used_for field (14096)

    Add schema metadata to the Tag used_for field, which is a comma separated list.

  • Cron Status Check - Better hyperlinks (14085)

    Improves the System Status check "Cron Not Running" by including a link to most up to date documentation.

  • Add pseudoconstant to UFField dao (14041)

    Improves the UFField API by exposing the option list for the field fieldname, before this change it was displayed as a text field instead of a select.

  • CQ: Switch core forms to be Entity Forms (continues dev/core#818: 13887)

    The group settings form now relies upon a standard entity form for the most part, with most fields defined by metadata. This removes boilerplate code from the specific form function, standardizing the form and facilitating later form improvements that can be made across the board.

CiviContribute

  • CQ: Refactor Recurring Contribution Forms (continues dev/core#846: 13994 and 13993))

    This begins the process of converting recurring contribution forms to use entity forms. It standardizes the way in which the payment processor is loaded in the 3 forms that update subscriptions.

  • Call Payment.create from Payment.cancel (13689)

    This change improves the Payment.create API by adding handling for negative amounts and moves the Payment.cancel API to use the Payment.create API instead of a bespoke function.

  • Switch to using ContributionRecur.cancel API from CancelSubscription form (14033)

    This change makes it so the CancelSubscription Form uses the ContributionRecur.cancel API instead of a bespoke function.

  • Update MasterCard icon to match branding guidelines (14078)

    Updates the MasterCard icon to match the MasterCard branding guidelines: https://brand.mastercard.com/brandcenter/mastercard-brand-mark/downloads.html

CiviEvent

  • Event Cart: add support for the Credit Card type icons (14175)

    Adds support for the Credit Card type icons (Amex, visa etc.) to Event Cart registration forms.

Drupal Integration

  • Drupal Views : relationships for standard groups (CRM-20006: 507)

    Adds relationships for standard groups to the CiviCRM/Drupal Views integration.

  • Enable contribution views to filter on empty Receipt and Thank You dates (573)

    Adds a view filter on "Thank You date" and "Receipt Date" for empty/not empty which can be used to create a view showing contributions that have/have not been thanked.

Bugs resolved

  • utf8mb4 warning keeps coming back up (dev/core#880: 14123)

    This change makes it so users only receive the Mysql utf8mb4 status check once, before this change the status check would show up whenever apache was restarted.

    Fixes a bug where importing a phone (or email) & choosing 'Primary' as the location type resulted in the creation of a duplicate, sometimes with no location type.

  • Fix upgrade message db setting location (14083)

    Updates the upgrade message "This database uses InnoDB Full Text Search for optimized searching. The upgrade procedure has not been tested with this feature. You should disable (and later re-enable) the feature by navigating to..." to point to the right settings form "Administer => Customize Data and Screens => Search Preferences" instead of "Administer => System Settings => Miscellaneous".

  • Fix getAddressColumns() to respect tableAlias (14014)

    Fixes CRM_Report_Form::getAddressColumns() function so that it no longer returns an error when used twice.

  • Ensure edit tooltip is always initially hidden in contact summary block (14065)

  • Make hook_civicrm_pre() and hook_civicrm_post() fire on CaseContacts (14030)

CiviContribute

  • Always bootstrap CRM_Utils_System on legacy IPN endpoint (dev/drupal#66, dev/core#973, and dev/core#1017: 14406 and 14430)

    This fixes a recent regression where recurring payments would fail to be recorded in CiviCRM if the contribution was set to notify the legacy IPN URL.

  • Fix checksum failure when editing recuring contributions (14407)

    Fixes a fatal error where checksum users were not able to cancel or update recurring contributions.

CiviMail
