Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Configurable quicksearch settings (13039 and 13056)

    This permits (some) custom fields to be added to quicksearch as searchable fields. By adding a setting in Search Preferences to configure the search fields in the quicksearch box in the menu bar.

  • Permit additional (freeform) relative date filters - e.g 'last 18 months', 'last 45 days' (12682)

    This change adds support for a greater range of date options for relative searches (e.g last 45 days, last 18 months). It requires option values to be added by an extension or by an experienced admin, and has a limited UI.

  • Allow contribution search by recurring payment processor ID / Transaction ID (12818)

    This change adds three new fields to the contribution search form: recurring contribution transaction ID, payment processor ID and processor ID.

  • dev/core#495 Migrate simple Preferences & Settings forms to using a Generic class. 13054, 13062, 13047, 13046, 13048, 13040, 13004, 13026, 13027, 13025, 12731, 12940, 13022, 13023, 12906, 12919, 12925 and 12960

    Introduce generic settings form (fully metadata driven) - this provides a supported methodology for extensions to add settings forms and to alter core settings forms (albeit not all core forms are converted to that point).

  • Add icons to contact summary tabs (13018)

    This change makes it so that an extension using hook_civicrm_tabset can specify icons for the contact summary tabs. If no icon is specified fa-puzzle-piece is used.

  • Extract selectedChild tabheader functionality and enable for Manage Events (12747)

    This takes the existing functionality of adding "selectedChild=" to a url for a tabbed page and makes it work across all the pages tabs. The tab will have an id of 'tab-x' where x is the thing to use after '='.

    This change adds the ability to link to a specific tab for an event (and generally cleans up the code related to linking to tabs).

  • Fix search performance issues and reliability on some characters issues by removing lower case double-conversion (12494, 13035, 13034, 12993, 12987, 12988, 12991, 13053 and 13055)

    These changes make performance improvements to searching by moving from using the php strtolower function and mysql LOWER function to mysql handling comparing strings in a non case specific way.

  • dev/core#6 Add help text for "is public" setting on form to edit custom field sets (13060)

    This change improves user experience of the form to edit custom field sets by adding help text to the field "Is this Custom Data Set public?".

  • dev/core#463 Add in support for Extension Utils when generating DAO files for Extensions (12986)

    When creating a new entity (e.g DiscountItem) via an extension the new entity will need a DAO class. Our Civix code currently supports this - at least somewhat - but will not wrap any translatable strings with ts rather than the (correct for extensions) E::ts . Adding this to core will allow civix to leverage it to better create extension DAO objects.

  • Continue ongoing work to replace jcalendar with datepicker widget - event search form search to datepicker and cleanup template (12978) and participant registration form (12979) and manage events fees page (12977) and manage events registration page (12975) and relationship form (12972) and event fees page (12992) and Update subscription form (12868)*

    These changes move date picking fields from using jcalendar to use the datepicker widget in the following places: Event Search form, Participant Registration Form, Manage Event Fees Page, Manage Events Registration page, Relationships form, Event Fees page and the Update Subscription form.

  • dev/core#472 Allow for CiviCRM APIv3 Explorer to find API Examples in extensions in the format of api/v3/examples/Entity just in the same format as core (13006)

    This change makes it so that APIv3 Explorer displays examples found in extensions.

  • Translate description in DAO files (13005)

    This change makes it so that the Description field in the DAO is translated so that if the getfields api returns the translated string.

  • Replace translation and calendar image icons (13003)

    This change makes it so that translation and calendar symbols use font icons instead of images.

  • dev/core#457 Add new hook exportIds (12957)

    This change extends CRM_Utils_Hook::export($exportTempTable, $headerRows, $sqlColumns, $exportMode, $componentTable, $ids); so that it can return id columns.

  • CRM_Core_Resources - Allow container to swap the implementation (12959)

    This change makes it so that CRM_Core_Resources can be modified in an extension using the hook hook_civicrm_container.

  • Do not treat an empty array as not set in caches. (12784)

    This change improves performance by respecting empty arrays as a cache hit.

  • Fix typo in hook that enables links to be added to a block (12913)

    This change fixes the $op sent to hook_civicrm_links($op, $objectName, $objectId, &$links, &$mask, &$values) from CRM_Core_Block to accept create.new.shortcuts in addition to create.new.shorcuts (the misspelled op name before this change).

  • Send an 500 http response code when an exception is encountered. (11821 and 12902)

    This change makes it so that instead of always exiting with a 200 code, When CRM_Utils_System is called with a status > 0, CiviCRM exits with a 500 code.

  • Register "short" and "long" cache services (12873)

    This change makes it so that extension developers can use Civi::cache('short') or Civi::cache('default') for a short-lived/latency-optimized PSR-16 cache or Civi::cache('long') for a long-lived/durability-optimized PSR-16 cache before this change only Civi::cache('default') was available.

  • Remove crm.admin.js (12884)

    This change is both a performance improvement (removes an unnecessary javascript file) and a ui improvement because it improved the icon picker ui.

  • Style improvement of radio form elements (12736)

    This change adds more space between radio form elements and their labels.

  • Use description from schema if available when using entityForm (12971)

    This change adds the ability to show the description from the entity schema instead of hardcoding it in the class when using entityForm.

  • On reports make current employer available as a field for display (12904)

    This change makes it so that the field "Current Employer" is available as a column on reports.

  • dev/core#487 Replace ancient menubar plugin with something responsive (13804) (preliminary work)

    This makes some behind-the-scenes changes in order to support a new SmartMenus-based menu extension that is anticipated to replace the current menu in core.

CiviCase

  • Added relationship active filter in CiviCRM Case reports. (12711)

    This change adds a filter for is relationship active to CiviCRM Case reports.

CiviContribute

  • Add validate api action for ContributionPage.submit (12829)

    This change ensures that api calls using the action ContributionPage.submit check that the parameters are valid for the form.

  • dev/financial#33 Proposal - Add in hook alterPostIpn or similar (12928)

    This change adds a hook alterIPNData which allows extension authors the ability to do custom processing on IPNs such as sending google analytics information based on the IPN data.

  • Show contact name on recurring contribution view and improve consistency with Contribution/Membership view (12819)

    This change improves the ui by including the Contact name in the view of a recurring payment.

  • Show recurring contribution links based on payment processor capabilities (12821)

    This change makes it so that the edit link for recurring contributions is hidden/shown based on the payment processor capabilities.

CiviEvent

  • Mark event start date as required and refactoring (13049)

    This change makes it so the event start date field has a red * next to it to indicate that it is a required field.

CiviMail

  • dev/core#481 New Organization: There is no possible to uncheck in the field "Bulk Mailings?" (13019)

    This change improves the UI when creating a new organization by making the "Bulk Mailings" field a checkbox (that can be checked and unchecked) instead of a radio that once checked cannot be unchecked.

  • Adding [CiviMail Draft] on test mailing (for mosaico) (12758)

    This change adds the text [CiviMail Draft] to the subject of any email that is sent using the send test functionality.

  • dev/core#456 Improve UX of scheduling mass SMS (13001)

    This change improves the UI of the schedule SMS mailings form by making it so one has to choose "Send Immediately" OR "Schedule SMS". Before this change one could check the box to "Send Immediately" AND a date to Schedule SMS.

Drupal Integration

  • CRM-17667 Drush: Mail queue processing does not work (354)

    This change makes it so one can use the drush command drush civicrm-process-mail-queue to execute the scheduled mailing job.

  • Add a drush command to rebuild SQL triggers (545)

    This change makes it so that the drush command drush civicrm-sql-rebuild-triggers rebuilds triggers and can dump the SQL commands into a file.

    These fields had become un-required as a regression in 5.5.

Drupal Integration

  • Intelligently adjust menubar for D7 toolbar toggle (12937)

    This change improves the ui by making the Civi menubar set to 100% minus the width of the toolbar toggle, but only if the toolbar toggle is actually present on the screen.
