Features

Core CiviCRM

  • dev/accessibility#4 Make alerts accessible (12158)

    A new setting allows a site administrator to disable the automatic disappearance of alerts.

    In addition, alerts are denoted so that screen readers can provide audible notice.

  • Permit UI editing of custom data on other entities (here relationship_type) when enabled in an extension (12128)

  • CRM-20565 Better & more configurable dedupe lookups when adding a contact (10341)

    When saving a new contact if an existing contact was found with a similar last name saving the form would be blocked. This change makes it so that the settings for what to dedupe new contacts on are more robust and so that the by default new contacts are dedupped by first name, last name and email.

  • dev/core#160 Import Progress bar polls server too often (12252)

    This change sets the interval at which the import progress bar polls the server to be 5s rather than 5ms to improve performance.

  • CRM-21120 Warn if no crypt functions available (12215)

    This change adds an alert when Mcrypt extension is not available.

  • CRM-21821 navigationMenu hook should take account of weight attributes (11772)

    This change makes it so that hook_civicrm_navigationMenu accepts a weight attribute for menu items and places menu items in the menu accordingly. If no weight is specified items are added to the end of the menu as they were prior to this change.

  • dev/core#152 Remove AdvMulti-Select custom field type (12267) and (12238)

    This change removes the error thrown when the Advanced Multi-Select widget (which has been deprecated since 2014) was selected.

  • dev/core#162 Use checksum to access user dashboard (12254)

    This change allows contacts to access the user dashboard from a checksum link ex: /civicrm/user?reset=1&id=<contact_id>&cs=<contact_checksum>

  • Auto-open tagset fields (12248)

    This change makes it so that when opening a tagset widget the first 10 tags appear in alphabetical order. Before this change the select2 would wait for the user to type before showing any results.

  • CRM-21811 Optimize advanced search by relationship with target group for reciprocal relationship types (11732)

    This change improves performance of the advanced search page when searching for reciprocal relationships.

  • CRM-19948 Store the Attachment uploader information (11739)

    This PR changes the Attachment API so that it saves the current logged in contact as the uploader of the file.

  • Upgrade Smarty to 2.6.31 to solve issues on PHP7.2 (208)

    The Smarty templating engine has been updated.

  • ApiExplorer - Output short array syntax (12108)

    The API explorer now produces array syntax using square brackets rather than array().

  • Extend fiscal year relative options to better match other periods (12137)

    Filters for fiscal year can now handle relative dates for previous single and multiple fiscal years.

  • Adjust creation of markup for Open Flash Chart (11951)

    This avoids problems that can be triggered in certain environments by the <html>, <head>, and <title> elements coming in a row within the chart markup.

  • Change custom contact ref groups selector to use select2 (12234)

    The groups selector for limiting the contacts available to a contact reference custom field now uses a Select2 widget rather than a multiple-select element.

CiviCase

  • Add inplace edit for timeline name (12000)

    The name of a case type timeline can now be edited from within the tab header of the timeline editing screen.

CiviContribute

  • dev/financial#12 move soft credit item count to an object property so it can be modified via hook (12011)

    This makes it simpler for an extension to modify the hard-coded number of rows available for recording soft credits on a contribution.

CiviMail

  • dev/mail#11 Add pre/post hook for CRM_Mailing_BAO_MailingJob (12275)

    This change adds a mailing job delete function with pre/post hooks.

CiviMember

  • dev/membership#2 Add 'membership start date' as an option when creating Scheduled Reminder based on Membership (12114)

    When setting up a scheduled reminder for a membership this change adds an option to send the scheduled reminder based on the "Membership Start Date". Additionally, when setting up a scheduled reminder for an event this change adds the options to schedule the reminder based on the "Registration Start Date" or "Registration End Date".

  • dev/core#38 Recurring Contribution Information on Membership Modal (11903 and 12203

    When viewing the details of a contact's membership, you can now see information about any recurring contribution series that auto-renews the membership rather than just the payments themselves.

Backdrop integration

  • Backdrop - update styles for status messages (12227)

Drupal integration

  • dev/drupal#17 Drupal8: Get UF locale/language is not supported (ex: for inheritLocale) (12139)

    This adds support for inheriting a user's language from the CMS on a Drupal 8 site.

    This change fixes two bugs when deduping contacts. First, it makes sure that the limit parameter passed in the url is respected and second, it makes sure the criteria parameter passed in the url is respected.

  • Fix non-display of conflicts after batch dedupe from dedupe screen (12193)

    This change fixes a bug where if a batch dedupe was run for all contacts (not 'selected contacts only') conflicts were not displayed so that conflicts are displayed.

  • dev/core#80] Current Employer is not reset after relationship is updated (12032)

    Changing the relationship type for a current employer relationship would not remove the organization from being listed as the individual's current employer.

  • CRM-20621 manage tags: the tag usage count is not accurate (12256) (preliminary work)

  • CRM-21853 Editing CustomGroup always sets is_multiple to false by default (11877 and 12116) and 12400)

    When editing a custom data set in the API, the value of whether the set supports multiple values would be set to false when the is_multiple parameter was absent. This is now resolved.

  • dev/core#98 Searching by any Address fields with location type other than primary throw DB error (12074)

  • dev/core#99 Search builder doesn't retain selected (boolean) option after searching (12076)

    Smart groups and child groups now work as expected when limiting the recipients of scheduled reminders.

  • CRM-21769 Show unsupported locale for parsing warning only when when enabling address parsing (11672)

    This change improves the warning thrown when the Street Address Parsing setting is set to be an unsupported locale so that is is thrown when that change is made as opposed to anytime one goes to edit a street address.

  • dev/report#4 CiviReports issue with boolean fields (12382)

    This change fixes a bug where contact and membership reports displayed all boolean fields (Deceased, Do Not Email, Do Not SMS, etc) as yes regardless of their actual values so that these reports show the correct data for those fields.

  • CRM-20841 Manual Merge - on_hold, is_bulkmail or signature information lost (10630)

    When deduping contacts, on the merge form, this change makes it so that the on_hold, bulkmail and signature status are displayed with the email address. If there is a difference between the statuses of the emails being deduped the email row is highlighted as a conflict.

  • Fix enotice when updating a custom group with is_multiple = 1 (12243)

    This change fixes a bug where an e-notice was being thrown when updating a group with is_multiple = 1 so that no e-notice is thrown.

  • ensure that the indexed column is not an FK before deleting the index (12241)

    This change fixes a bug where when changing a custom field from searchable to not searchable, CiviCRM tries to remove the index. This causes a fatal error when the column is also a foreign key to another table because the index is needed for the foreign key so that civi checks if the column is not a foreign key before removing the index.

  • dev/core#147 One of parameters is not of the type MysqlColumnNameOrAlias when using Non-ASCII display names. (12226)

    This change fixes a bug where using a display name for a location type with Non-ASCII text would result in a fatal error when searching using that location type.

  • CRM-21553 can not update primary location type field details if same field available for other location types (11407)

    This change fixes a bug where a profile could not include a primary email field (or any field that uses location types) and a email field of any other location type so that a profile can include two fields one with the location type Primary and one with a different location type.

  • dev/core#149 Fatal Error on customvalue get api (12225)

    This change fixes a fatal error when running the customvalue get api.

    The Welsh county of Monmouthshire was missing from civicrm_state_province.

  • dev/accessibility#3 Add aria-label (and label?) to form elements missing them (11944 and 12208) (partial work)

    This consolidates CMS-specific templates for including the page header and footer elements in each page. It also adds the aria-label attribute to the datepicker date and time fields.

    This resolves certain situations where managed entities created by an extension could be left orphaned in the database even after the extension is uninstalled.

CiviContribute

  • dev/core#35 avoid template variable leakage when processing more than one recurring contribution in a session (12175)

    Soft credits and other values for a recurring contribution would get picked up by recurring contributions processed later in the same process.
