Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Field Names now Reserved Words in MySQL8 (dev/core#1143, dev/core#1144 and dev/core#1480: 16179 and 16182)

  • Allow Angular modules to provide dynamic HTML snippets (16078)

    Supports afforms dynamic templates by allowing angular partials to be passed as strings not just file paths.

  • Allow values to be passed to api4 GetFields (16154 and 16162)

    Makes it possible to filter api4 getFields calls by contact type, only returning custom fields appropriate to certain contact types.

    Work towards throwing exceptions (instead of fatal errors).

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • text missing from email column when custom search profile is used in Advanced Search (dev/core#1474: 16101)

  • Undefined offset and uninitialized string offset notices on upgrade to 5.21 (dev/core#1555: 16417)

CiviCase

  • Add case activity action links to activity report (15135)

Wordpress Integration

  • Fix basepage title for Yoast SEO when theme declares "title-tag" support (174)

    Fixes a bug for sites with the Yoast SEO plugin where the CiviCRM page title was not being displayed properly. Specifically the Yoast SEO plugin short-circuits the code in wp_get_document_title() by filtering via pre_get_document_title.
