Features

Core CiviCRM

  • End of life plans for php 7.0 & deprecate php 7.1 (dev/core#1528: 16753, 599, 598, 111, 16678, 114, 187 and 184)

    CiviCRM now requires PHP 7.1 at a minimum and recommends PHP 7.3.

    In the process of making this change, the minimum PHP version is now stored in a single place within the core codebase. CMS-specific files have this value, too, but tests enforce that it be the same as the single core value.

  • Replace jcalendar instances with datepicker (Continued Work dev/core#561: 15709 and 16863)

    These changes continue work to move to datepicker from jcalendar by converting report instances from using the legacy jcalendar to using datepicker for date fields and deprecating the addDateRange function used by jcalendar.

  • APIv4 - Add Dashboard & DashboardContact entities (16867)

    Adds APIv4 support for Dashboard & DashboardContact and does some cleanup in the BAO and API layers for improved consistency.

  • Add new language, nl_BE (17014)

    Adds a new translation option for "Dutch (Belgium)".

  • Add hook to alter display value or Custom field value (16921)

    The new hook hook_civicrm_alterCustomFieldDisplayValue() allows modification of the displayed value for a custom field value.

  • APIv4 query improvements (Work towards dev/report#31: 16917 and 16947)

    This change builds out the APIv4 framework to support GROUP BY and different types of expressions in clauses that previously only accepted the names of fields. These expressions can now include numbers, NULL, strings, and whitelisted SQL functions. The framework can in theory handle most SQL functions, but this first PR adds support for the aggregate functions AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN, and SUM.

  • install/index.php - Fix leak which breaks compatibility with current Backdrop (#17249)

CiviContribute

  • Partial Refunds (Work towards dev/financial#87: 16480)

    The "Add Payment" form is altered to permit payments to be added even if a contribution is fully paid.

  • Add privacy fields to Contribution Detail report (16674)

    Columns for the following fields are added to the contribution detail report: "Do Not Phone", "Do Not Mail", "Do Not SMS", "Do Not Trade".

  • Add "pledge id" as column and filter in Contribution Detail report. (16868)

    This change improves the Contribution Detail Report by adding "pledge id" as a filter and column.

CiviEvent

  • Remove additional display of buttons for events (16550)

    When viewing an event registration, this removes the Record Payment button from the Fees section. Payments can still be recorded from the payments section.

WordPress Integration

  • Merge REST API wrapper code (160)

    This merges the CiviCRM WP REST API Wrapper plugin's code into the core WordPress integration. The result is that there are now native WordPress REST endpoints for the REST API, email tracking, and other endpoints that had been direct links to PHP files in the extern folder of the CiviCRM plugin.

  • Add shortcodes for Personal Campaign Pages (185 and 16695)

    Personal Campaign Pages are now available as a shortcode.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • Activity Detail report gives syntax error with force=1 if include case activities is on (dev/core#1710: 17128)

    The case activity table wasn't properly loaded when the Activity Detail report including case activities would go straight to displaying results.

  • Search Builder - Activity Type search not working. (dev/core#1714: 17215)

    In Search Builder, searching by activity type would return no results, affecting not only direct searches but also smart groups that built with Search Builder. This resolves the regression, which first appeared in 5.24.3.

  • Deleting entities leaves obsolete EntityTag records (dev/core#667: 16832)

    Fixes a bug where deleting a contact does not delete tags associated with the contact.

  • Profile Public Title (frontend_title column) is not used in profile create/edit mode (dev/core#1683: 16945)

    The Public Title setting that was recently added for profiles would only replace the profile name on contribution and event forms. When the profile was used in a standalone context, the name would always appear.

  • Auto-complete search results not consistent with other searches (dev/core#787: 13809)

  • Need to Increase Data Size for form_values column on civicrm_report_instance table (dev/core#1569: 16836)

    This hanges the data type for the form_values column on the civicrm_report_instance from TEXT to LONGTEXT.

  • PHP warning on Add relationship form (dev/core#1663: 16845 and 16941)

  • Removing all the dashlets from the dashboard leads to E_NOTICE (dev/core#1668: 16883)

  • Regression: Api4 causes container being rebuild on every request (dev/core#1674: 16919)

  • E_NOTICE when using the New Individual popup/profile (dev/core#1676: 16924)

  • [regression] CiviCRM reports that smart groups won't work due to deleted custom fields that aren't deleted (dev/core#1688: 16961)

    A system check would mistakenly report that a smart group was based upon a deleted custom field if it was based upon a checkbox or multi-select custom field.

  • Fix checking permissions in api3 profile get (16848)

    This resolves a bug where the API would reverse the value of the option to use a current user's permissions when retrieving the list of fields in a profile.

  • APIv4 - convert Result object to array when running through json_encode (16828)

  • Api4 AJAX endpoint: change required permission to access AJAX API. (16705 and 17241)

    The APIv4 AJAX endpoint is now open to users with either the Access CiviCRM or the Access AJAX API permissions, matching the APIv3 behavior.

  • Improvements to APIv4 select query (16889 and 16900)

  • APIv4 - Don't advertise implicit multi-joins in Explorer (17205)

    Implicit one-to-many joins in APIv4 have been problematic and may get removed. As a soft deprecation, these are no longer displayed in the APIv4 explorer.

  • CRM_Core_I18n - Provide a better label for new/unknown locales (17021)

    If CiviCRM finds a locale in the localization files but doesn't know what it is, it will now display the locale code instead of just a blank option.

  • Fixed fatal error for class not found when managed hook is invoked during upgrade (17004)

  • Log error message instead of throwing exception (16880)

  • Remove instances of fatal (16759)

    This throws exceptions rather than dying when encountering problems creating contacts.

  • Fix bug where a % in a serialized array can lead to the data being broken (16694)

  • Fix batch contact/activity update with radio options (16855)

    This fixes a failure to copy the value down a column if the field is radio buttons and the value in the first row contains a space.

  • Fix CustomDataView.tpl plain empty memo field. (16839)

    Ensure note custom fields display on their own lines

  • Fix setting outBound_option readonly in UI (16774)

    If the outbound mailer option is set via the settings file, the settings form will now disable the field.

  • Use dbAlias to generate where clause for date field in activity report (16689)

    This resolves potentially ambiguous queries in the Activity Summary and Detail reports if the activity table is joined again in the report.

  • [REF] Use composer patches to apply CiviCRM Customisations for CRM-1367 and CRM-5946 (16870)

    Migrates the patching of pear_mail from a script file to using composer patches to ensure CiviCRM customisations for CRM-1367 and CRM-5946 are applied consistently.

CiviCase

  • Various errors recorded in log message on Manage Case screen -> relationship tab. (dev/core#1664: 16846)

    Fixes log messages generated when opening the relationship tab on the Manage Case form.

  • "Merge Case" modal not showing relevant cases (dev/core#1646: 16798)

    The pop-up to merge cases would only show 25 other cases. It now shows all cases for a client.

  • Adding a timeline to a case doesn't get the last activity in the timeline right (dev/core#1675 and dev/core#1695: 289)

    Ensures case custom fields are saved when submitted via Drupal webform. Additionally ensures that the last activity in the case timeline is set correctly.

  • Check for "Change Case Type" in case activity form doesn't do anything (dev/core#1652: 16785)

  • When auditing cases on non-English deployments, richtext details are incorrectly escaped (16659)

  • Respect 'Do not notify activity type' setting (16800)

    The setting to not notify assignees for certain activity types was not respected when submitting an activity from a case.

CiviContribute

  • Changes to "CiviContribute Component Settings" not saved (dev/core#1724: 17188)

    The way that CiviContribute component settings were stored was updated for 5.23, but the transition during the upgrade was problematic. This replaces the transition code, resolving issues for sites upgrading directly from 5.22.x or earlier. Sites on 5.23.x or 5.24.x should review their settings, however.

  • Invoice action not shown when invoicing enabled (17164)

    The "Invoices - print or email" action was not available for contribution search results even when invoicing was enabled.

  • Cumulative contributions not being calculated with the correct criteria (dev/core#1740: 17237)

    The cumulative contributions display from a contribution page would needlessly filter contributions by date, with the end date being midnight on the current date. That would exclude contributions received on the current day.

  • Updating misleading labels on buttons to confirmation pages (dev/core#1613: 16651)

    Some donors and event registrants interpreted the button text "Confirm Contribution" (on contribution pages) and "Continue" (on event registration pages) to mean that this would complete the contribution or registration. In fact, these would only appear when a confirmation page is used.

    The button text now appears as "Review your contribution" and "Review your registration", respectively.

  • Fix upgrade failure. Thin-out activation logic for sequentialcreditnotes. (16971 following dev/financial#84)

    This change fixes an issue for some builds when upgrading caused by the activation of the sequentialcreditnotes extension to replace core code that generates sequential credit note identifiers.

  • Fix Bug where Payment Balance is sometimes miscalculated (16546)

    Fixes a bug where Add Refund is displayed instead of Add Payment on partially paid event contributions.

  • Stop overwriting contact name with PayPal name (CRM-20553: 14667)

    When a user creates a donation via PayPal, their CiviCRM contact name should not be overwritten to be their PayPal account name.

  • Fix use of "Soft Credit Amount Stats" and any filter of contribution… (16591)

    Ensures that one can use "Soft Credit Amount Stats" with all filters.

  • CRM_Core_Payment_PayPalProIPN should not call getPayPalPaymentProcessorID() if processor_id is clearly provided in URL (dev/core#1579: 16479)

  • Update pending contribution status action also send email without warning (dev/core#1640: 16742)]

    When bulk updating the status of contributions, there is now a checkbox to choose whether the contacts should be emailed. Previously, emails would be generated without warning.

  • Fix display of payment processor title in cancelSubscription form (16857)

  • Make the checkbox, "Billing address is the same", respond to the change event (16496)

    This makes the "billing address is the same" checkbox trigger its changes no matter how the box is checked, not just by clicking it.

CiviEvent

  • PayPal Express Checkout fails on events (dev/financial#119: 16692)

  • Fixed fatal error for Event Participants custom search if price set field option is disabled after a registrant has already selected it (16894)

CiviMember

  • Don't freeze fields for auto-renew memberships (dev/core#1331: 16609 and 16881)

    Previously, many membership fields were frozen for administrators when the membership was set to auto-renew with a recurring contribution.

  • Deceased Contact via Inline doesn't update the Membership's status to Deceased (dev/core#1599: 16724 and 16787)

    When marking a contact as deceased, this simplifies the underlying process and ensures that a message is displayed about memberships being updated to Deceased status.

  • Invalid currency "$" on sending offline membership receipt. (dev/core#1682: 16943)

    Fixes an error when sending a receipt for a membership created from an offline membership form. The default currency symbol was being saved as the currency itself.

  • Membership auto-renew is not optional if using price set (dev/core#1630: 16762)

  • Membership join date checkbox on constituent detail report has lost its label (dev/report#28: 16829)

Drupal Integration

  • Address no longer available as Relationship for Views in Drupal 7 (dev/drupal#110: 118 and 600)

  • Generalise typo3/phar-stream-wrapper so CiviCRM can be installed on D8.7 (17085)

  • civicrm-setup and backward slashes in file paths on windows don't play nice together (dev/core#1643: 16886)

    Fixes installing CiviCRM on Drupal8 sites on windows using civicrm-setup / cv core:install.

WordPress Integration

  • 5.23 breaks WP admin menu links (dev/core#1637: 16713)

  • Set "cms.root" URL in addition to Path (188)

    This resolves a "Cannot resolve path using 'cms.root.url'" exception thrown on the "Settings - Resource URLs" screen incorrectly on a WordPress multisite subsite.
