Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Default to 'copy' for non-empty fields on merge screen (dev/core#1339: 15595)

    This updates the contact merge screen to default to copying data for all non-empty fields. This change makes it easier to keep too much data but harder to lose some.

  • Performance issue when exporting to CSV from reports with custom fields (dev/report#19: 15248)

    Performance improvements when exporting a report to CSV.

  • Memory error on creating large pdfs (dev/core#574: 13232)

    Improves performance when creating PDFs.

  • Update Country list: change Macedonia, Republic of into North Macedonia (dev/core#1166: 15997)

    Updates the name of "Macedonia, Republic of" to "North Macedonia" in accordance with the iso 3166-1 list.

  • Tagsets should display vertically in activity/new case forms (dev/core#1346: 15649)

    Improves the User interface of the "New Activity" and "New Case" forms by displaying the tag fields vertically instead of horizontally.

  • Make utf8mb4 status check language more for the general consumer (15946)

    This alters the language on the utf8mb4 status check so that it is a bit more general in nature and hopefully easier to digest for end users.

  • Include Metadata on advanced search form for membership, grant, pledge, contribution, and case fields (15936, 15785, and 15928)

    You can now set URL parameters for additional fields like membership_join_date and pledge_payment_start_date to pre-filter results on the advanced search form.

  • Fix activity search to work by url params (15990)

    You can now set URL parameters like activity_date_time_high to pre-filter results on the activity search form.

  • Replace all instances of CRM_Core_Fatal with throw new CRM_Core_Exception (Work towards dev/core#560: 15903, 15770, 15941, 15775 and 15822)

    Work towards throwing exceptions instead of fatal errors.

  • Remove background opacity in menus; improving accessibility/readability (15847)

    The CiviCRM menu is now opaque to improve readability.

  • Improve datePicker placeholder/icons (15848)

    Small tweaks to the datepicker widget to improve flexibility & consistency.

  • modified shared address note under contact dashboard (15666 and 15769)

    Improves the note below the Shared Address field to include a link to the contact that the address lives on to make it easier for get to the shared address to edit it.

  • Grant in Edit mode doesn't show the associated contact and standardize all screens accordingly. (Work Towards dev/core#1065: 15757, 15833 and 15840)

    This standardizes edit screens for participant, grant, and membership records to ensure that a clickable link to the associated contact is included in a consistent way.

  • Temporary tables should follow consistent naming convention (Work Towards dev/core#183: 15795, 15798, 15819, 15793, 15792, 15874, 15821, 15823, 15826, 15820, 15825, 15876, and 16155)

    Begins work to enforce a common naming convention for temporary tables.

CiviContribute

  • Develop getter & setter structure for Payment classes (Work Towards dev/financial#82: 15697, 16052, 16060, and 16081)

    This PR adds a new class, Civi\Payment\PropertyBag which is designed to offer a consistent object for holding payment parameters as they are sent to and from payment processors. For now, the legacy array of parameters is still valid, so this will not have much immediate impact, but it lays the groundwork for future work.

  • Always display amount paid even if it is 0.00. Blank looks like it's missing data rather than nothing paid (16021)

    This improves user experience by displaying contributions of 0 as 0 instead of blank.

CiviMail

  • CiviMail - Only display "Headers and Footers" if there are headers and footers (15326)

    Makes it so when creating a CiviMail Mailing the "Headers and Footers" tab only displays if there are Headers and/or Footers configured on the site.

Drupal Integration

  • Add participant is_test field to views (590)

    Makes the Participant is_test field available in views.

PayPal Implementation

  • PayPalImpl: Add SOLUTIONTYPE parameter that triggers allowing to pay without having to create a paypal account. (15523)

    Adds a SOLUTIONTYPE parameter to the PayPal checkout values so that one can make a contribution without having to create an account.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • CiviCRM Option Group with a name containing spaces cannot have any options added, error message is shown also impacts the in-place option editor (dev/core#1405 and dev/core#1447: 15937 and 16033)

    Option group names are no longer exposed for editing, as they are now automatically generated from the title. On upgrade, existing option group names that contain spaces will be rewritten. Extensions that provide or rely upon option group names that contain spaces will need to be rewritten.

    Upon upgrade, if rewriting an option group name will duplicate another option group's name, that option group will be skipped and a post-upgrade message will show the details.

  • Quicksearch with phone filter doesn't work with non-numeric character (dev/core#1420: 15955)

  • Option to open navigation item in new window (if present) (dev/core#1398: 15861)

    Ensures the target attribute is respected for menu items that are added using the navigationMenu hook.

  • CIVI-SA-2019-21 may lead to regressions when following typehints on CRM_Core_BAO_Setting::setItem() (Work Towards dev/core#1425: 15981, 15988 and 15980)

    Removes a misleading PHPDoc type hint for the $value parameter in CRM_Core_BAO_Setting::setItem() and updates tests that use this function.

  • Only add in the metadata for advanced search if user has access to the relevant component (15987)

    Ensures the user has access to the relevant component before adding metadata for that component to the advanced search form.

  • Fix api explorer formatting IS NULL clauses (15817)

    Fixes a formatting issue in the api explorer output where IS NULL and IS NOT NULL clauses would output invalid code due to the missing value piece of the clause.

  • Add in translation function around newly converted statusBounce messages (15774)

  • Fix cachekey string (15761)

    Fixes an obscure bug where no custom fields were being returned when doing a Contact.get api call with check_permissions=0.

  • Fix potential test glitch when repeatedly calling createLoggedInUser (15965)

  • Ensure that when sorting on columns in the find activity search the arrow shows which field is being sorted and direction (15943)

  • translate strings (15858)

    Some text in the extension manager was not wrapped in a translation function.

  • Filter contact sub-type by "is not one of" fails (dev/report#23: 15971)

  • Trying to edit the settings for a reserved option group gives a network error can't connect to server (dev/core#1477: 16107)

CiviCampaign

  • Activities not visible if they have a campaign_id & contact does not have 'administer CiviCampaign' (dev/core#1444: 16057)

CiviCase

CiviContribute

  • Membership form permits creating invalid transactions (dev/financial#100: 15771)

    To avoid users accidentally setting invalid statuses, this removes the statuses "Partially Paid", "Cancelled", and "Failed" from the Payment Status field when recording a payment for a Contribution related to a Membership. Additionally, removes the statuses "Partially Paid", "Overdue" and "In Progress" from the Payment Status field when recording a payment for a Contribution related to an Event.

  • hook_civicrm_post() implementation results in DB Error: already exists for custom field values (dev/core#1443: 16061)

    The post hook is invoked after storing custom values when adding contributions.

  • Lybunt report - remove broken chart functionality (dev/core#523: 15989)

    Fixes the LYBUNT charts.

  • allow PCP report to filter on contribution status (16024)

    The PCP report template lists all personal campaign pages with the total number of contributions made against each PCP page and the total amount raised. Before this change the report had no filter for Contribution Status, so canceled contributions were showing and throwing off the totals. There is now a filter for contribution status allowing users to filter this list as they wish.

  • Fix api Payment.create to support overpayments (15909)

    Payments made to already paid-up contributions no longer result in an error. The payment continues to be "Completed" and no related entities are updated.

CiviEvent

  • Fix Participant Search in force mode to support query parameters in URL (15791 and 15807)

  • Move greeting handling up as it is not paymentValidation dependent (15904)

    Validation of greetings on the frontend event registration form is no longer conditional on processing a payment.

CiviMail

  • DB error in Mail Clickthroughs bar chart display (dev/core#1434: 16000)

  • Implement drupal_get_user_timezone() (15794)

    Ensures that the timezone is set using the drupal timezone on Contributions made by anonymous users (Drupal 8).

Joomla Integration

  • New Accessible Menu Color Picker display issue on Joomla (dev/core#874: 15945)
