    Provides a binding for CRM_Utils_REST in the conventional routing system.

  • Improve activity import to support updates (Work Towards dev/core#2308: 19421, 19553 and 19555)

    Clean up and tests in preparation for changes to the Activity Import.

  • Support chain-select elements in .setting.php files (dev/core#2386: 19629)

    Makes it possible to create metadata-driven chain select fields.

  • Add no results found on empty civireports dashlet (dev/core#2420: 19668)

    Adds text to report template saying no results found if that is the case.

  • Search kit navigation - once I've created an afform it's hard to edit it (dev/core#2389: 19617)

    Improves SearchKit admin page by including links to edit.

  • Afform - Add 'View Page' link from afform edit screen (19645)

    Improves Afform edit screen by adding a link to "View Page".

  • Afform - Add link to edit form in breadcrumbs (19691)

    If the user has permission to edit the Afform form (and the afform_admin extension is enabled), shows a breadcrumb back to edit the form.

  • Afform - Remove ngRoute from afformStandalone page (19703)

    Removes an unused dependency from the Afform standalone page, making it more flexible and reusable.

  • Afform Gui - Block editing enhancements (19530)

    Improves block editing in the Afform GUI.

  • Add created_id & modified_id to civicrm_saved_search (dev/core#2422: 19709)

    Sites using search kit will rapidly start to accumulate a large number of saved searches and will want better filtering (& cleanup). This adds created_id and modified_id and starts populating them as well as expires_date (which won't start populating until it is exposed in the search kit UI).

  • afform_mock - Hide extension. Clearly indicate as development-only (19541)

    Hides the afform_mock extensio and clearly indicates it as development-only.

  • Afform - Support date range filters for search displays (19632)

    Adds support for date range filters for Afform search displays.

  • Afform - Allow public submission (PUB-CONTACT). Expand E2E test coverage. (19579)

    Makes it possible to submit new contact records to Afform as an anonymous user, and includes E2E test-coverage to that effect.

    Adds support for calculated fields as afform search filters.

    Improves SearchKit to show links for implicitly joined entities.

  • SearchKit - cleanup display configuration and add "rewrite" feature (19662)

    Adds the ability to rewrite fields in search displays, while streamlining the display administration screen.

  • SearchKit - Take search filters from the url when viewing a standalone display (19713)

    Passes all query params from the url fragment as search filters to the display.

  • SearchKit - Add links/menus/buttons to search displays (19673)

    Gives the ability to configure sets of links, buttons or menus in SearchKit search displays.

  • SearchKit - Add implicit joins for displaying labels of related entities (19554)

    Gives SearchKit the ability to display labels of related entities, for example, displaying the Campaign title instead of just the Campaign ID.

  • SearchKit - Add links to view multi-record custom data (19626)

    When creating a search display, you can now add a link to view a Multi-Record custom entity.

  • APIv4 - Add option lists to getFields html_type and data_type (19596)

    Adds option lists to html_type and data_type in APIv4 getFields to make them easier to discover in the API Explorer.

  • Add is empty filter to search / api (19736)

    Adds 2 new operators, "Is Empty" & "Not Empty" to SearchKit (and APIv4 in general). Removes the "Is Null / Not Null" operators from SearchKit because they are overly technical and have confusingly similar names to the new operators (they are still available in the API generally, just not the SearchKit UI).

  • Improve search display filter validation (19720)

    When viewing a SearchDisplay, this will verify all filters are permitted by first checking the SELECT clause, and secondly checking for a containing Afform with exposed filters.

  • AuthX - Extended authentication support (portable and router-friendly) (19590)

    Introduces an extension, authx, which broadly improves support for HTTP authentication on any CiviCRM route.

  • info.xml - Allow multiple <author>s (19684)

    Allows info.xml files to list multiple authors.

  • APIv3 - Improve array-based apis to support sorting and operators (19690)

    Backports some APIv4 code to v3, for the purpose of supporting entityRef widgets for Afform.

  • Metadata: Add html:label for Contribution Status ID (19669)

    Adds html:label for Contribution Status ID to the metadata.

  • APIv4 explorer, search kit - entity reference fields tricky if you know the id (dev/core#2400: 19638)

    Ensures when the user types an integer into an EntityRef field, the record with that ID is returned first.

  • Enable-"Do-no-trade"-filter (19650)

    Adds a Do not trade filter.

CiviCase

  • Investigate replacing civicase views with something that is not views (Add test for dev/core#2385: 19609)

    Adds test coverage for getCaseActivityQuery.

CiviContribute

  • Delay on rendering contribution dashboard charts seems unnecessary (dev/core#2365: 19544)

    Speeds up rendering of contribution dashboard charts.

Joomla Integration

  • Use Joomla style language strings to allow translations (56)

    Changes some hardcoded english strings to use the Joomla translation system so users can create translation overrides.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • Ensure dispatcher has loaded listeners (19614)

    Fixes an edge case where the dispatcher can fail to load listeners

  • Correct sms numbers (19509)

    When sending SMS messages to contacts in search results, under some conditions a single contact's mobile phone number is repeated over and over again for remaining contacts.

  • Asset building breaks the site (Work towards dev/core#2137: 19559 and 18830)

    Enhances log messages when AssetBuilder fails and put it inside a try/catch.

  • documentation on CIVICRM_CRED_KEYS (Work Towards dev/core#2370: 19568)

    Slightly expands the amount of entropy for certain auto-generated values.

  • Prevent double clicking submit button (dev/core#2372: 19610)

    Prevents double clicking of submit button on any standard form without ajax (ex: New Contribution Form).

  • Geocoding saves values that web UI doesn't accept (Work Towards dev/core#2379: 19588)

    The CiviCRM UI doesn't allow saving more than 14 characters in a geocoding field. However, geocoders themselves aren't restricted to 14 characters. This means that geocoders can enter a geocode that prevents editing the address.

  • Afform permissions - open access didn't seem to work (search kit) (dev/core#2404: 19657)

    Addresses some ambiguities/confusion in permission for Afform. The basic question -- if permission is omitted (in various ways -- unset, null, empty-string), then what is the effective permission?

  • Navigation menu order (dev/core#2424: 19671)

    Ensures one can change the order of navigation items from an extension.

  • Create followup section at bottom of non-bulk email activities crashes (dev/core#2473: 19874)

    Prevents a crash when the assignee is left blank when creating followup on email activity.

  • Afform - Show breadcrumbs appropriate to whether a form can be edited (19739)

    Removes the "Edit" link from non-editable forms, and adds the current form back into the breadcrumbs, for the sake of forms which use url params for routing.

  • APIv4 - Improve handling of joins & custom fields (19562)

    Fixes some apparent bugs in SearchKit where certain fields were apparently supported in the UI but the API would crash when trying to query them.

  • APIv4 - Increase alias max length to 256 (19537)

    Fixes a bug in Search Kit where fields derived from long complex joins would disappear because their alias was longer than the default length of 63 output by CRM_Utils_String::munge().

  • GuzzleMiddleware::url() - Distinguish frontend and backend routes (19678)

    GuzzleMiddlware::url() is a helper that simplifies writing URLs within Guzzle-based tests. For example, $http->get('route://civicrm/dashboard') send a GET request to the local site's civicrm/dashboard page.

  • Cannot create proper Groups on multilingual with MySQL 5.6 and Civi 5.31-rc (dev/translation#58: 19740)

  • fieldOptions hook fatal error (dev/core#1132: 19580)
