Features

Core CiviCRM

  • APIv4 Explorer: Generate short cv code (18089)

    Improves the APIv4 Explorer user interface by including cv code to run the API from CLI.

  • Optimise proximity custom search, by reducing addGeocodingData fn call (18248)

    Improves performance of the proximity custom search.

  • Support more table names for utf8mb4 conversions and database name (18249)

    Improves the System.utf8conversion API so that one can specify table patterns and databases.

  • distmaker - Autogenerate civicrm-*-patchset.tar.gz (18229)

    Adds a script to autogenerate civicrm-*-patchset.tar.gz instead of having to manually generate it every release.

  • Finish allowing use of SSL to connect to database (Work Towards dev/core#1926: 18095)

    Code cleanup towards the goal of allowing SSL database connections.

  • Profile settings - Add new contacts to a Group? is misleading (dev/core#1950: 18153)

    Improves user experience by editing the help text and description for the "Add new contacts to a Group?" setting.

  • API4: Inconsistent behavior on Role ID (dev/event#37: 18285)

    Allows searching within arrays or serialized strings via APIv4 (and the new Search extension).

  • APIv4 - Fix output of CustomValue create/save/update (18195)

    Improves APIv4 output when saving custom pseudo-entities so that it outputs the values saved instead of [is_error => 0, result => true].

  • Add ability to enable query logging per process (18335)

    Makes it possible to enable logging by process as opposed to all processes or no processes.

  • Expose field label to APIv4 and Search creator (18255 and 18256)

    Progress towards codifying the difference between a field's title and label in the schema.

    These changes:

    • expose labels to APIv4
    • switch to using labels in the new search extension.
    • separates titles from labels in exportable fields.
    • attempts to clarify the difference between titles and labels in the getfields description as:
      • title: "Technical name of field, shown in API and exports"
      • label: "User-facing label, shown on most forms and displays"

  • Metadata fix - phone_type_id, location_type_id, gender_id (18114)

    Improves metadata for various fields to align with new title and label standards.

  • CRM_Utils_VersionCheck - respect force param (18183)

    Makes the versionCheck job more consistent with other checks by respecting APIv4's "force" setting to run even if disabled.

  • Add Serialize key to payment_processor field for Event & Contribution Page (18110)

    Use metatdata rather than code handling to save array of processors. This makes it so that the DAO can handle arrays if it knows the format.

CiviContribute

  • Shell Financial ACLs extension (18269)

    Begins work to move Financial ACL code into an extension.

  • Add Line Item v4 API (Work Towards dev/core#1980: 18275 and 18293)

    Extends permission handling for LineItem delete and LineItem ACLs from APIv3 to to APIv4 by moving it to the financialacls extension.

  • Book keeping Report : Add Time field for Transaction Date and Receive Date field (dev/report#47: 18268)

    Adds a time field to the "Transaction Date" and "Receive Date" filters on the Bookkeeping report.

CiviEvent

  • Wrap "not you" message in crmRegion (18236)

    Wraps the "Not you, do you want to register for someone else" message in a crmRegion so that it can be removed/replaced by the buildForm hook.

CiviMail

  • Add new columns to mailing summary report (dev/core#1944: 18132)

    Adds two new columns to the mailing summary report: "Sender Name" and "Sender Email".

  • Add disable_smarty option to MessageTemplate.send API (18118)

    Improves the MessageTemplate.send API by adding a new optional parameter "disable_smarty", when "disable_smarty" is set to true smarty is not applied to the contents of the message.

WordPress Integration

Drupal Integration

  • Allow for the setting of an additional constant CIVICRM_DRUSH_DSN (613)

    Allows sites to configure CIVICRM_DRUSH_DSN for drush to use to set up database connections.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • Increase size of mysql field in export table for column with CRM_Utils_Type::T_INT type (dev/core#1661: 17956)

  • API - Add upgrade-safe checks to ensure table exists before reading (18135)

  • DB_DataObject - Read CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY correctly (305)

    Makes The value of CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY TRUE-ish or FALSE-ish instead of considering any value true.

  • Processors - remove gross_amount param from processors (18177)

    The gross_amount param is returned by a bunch of processors but is not used so this removes it.

  • {contribution.receipt_date} token does not use any CiviCRM date formatter, output in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format and {contribution.receive_date} also uses a non-standard format (18176)

Drupal Integration

  • Fix : Enable Drupal Watchdog Logging for Drupal 8 (dev/core#1943: 18115)
