Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Migrate APIv4 into civicrm-core (15309 and 15331)

    Migrates API version 4 from a standalone extension (org.civicrm.api4) into the core codebase. If the old extension is present, it will be disabled.

    For more information, see Developer Guide: APIv4 Usage and Differences between APIv3 / APIv4.

  • Improve obsolete extension management (15352)

    This change improves the extension UI by marking obsolete extensions as "Obsolete", removing the Install and Enable actions for obsolete extensions and completely uninstalling obsolete extensions during core upgrades.

  • Check requirements before upgrading extensions via the UI (15450)

    Improves user experience by checking for required dependencies when upgrading an extension. If the extension version being upgraded to requires a dependency throws a helpful error.

  • Upgrader: handle missing obsolete extensions (15343)

    Improves the mechanism for auto-disabling obsolete extensions during the upgrade process to disable extensions even if they are missing.

  • Updated entityRefFilters hook to support alter form create links (15231)

    Improves the hook_civicrm_entityRefFilters() to support altering create links like "New Household" and "New Individual".

  • Add getdisplayvalue api with unit test. (15335)

    Adds a new action getdisplayvalue to the CustomValue entity.

  • Add in an index on geo_code_1 and geo_code_2 to assist with distance and other queries (15361)

    Adds an index to geo_code_1 and geo_code_2 to help calculation queries based on latitude and longitude.

  • Allow columns in relationship table to be modified by searchColumns hook (14184)

    Allow columns in the relationship table to be modified by hook_civicrm_searchColumns(). This allows developers to modify the columns shown to the user on the Contact relationships tab.

  • Per agreement in NYC sprint, add status check is_active to table (dev/core#1295: 15409 and 15416)

    Adds an is_active field to the civicrm_status_pref table which is api-accessible but not UI exposed. This field enables developers and system administrators to turn off a system check.

  • Declare metadata for component payment fields on export (15243)

    Adds metadata for component payment fields.

  • Add CRM_Utils_JS::encode function (15285)

    Adds a utility function for encoding javascript strings which gives an output that looks more like handwritten javascript and less like the overly-quoted json_encode.

  • CRM_Utils_JS - Improve encode handling of strings (15295)

    Improves test scenarios and tweaks the encode and decode functions to handle strings better.

  • Event Info/Contribution Page Smarty templates are inconsistent and ugly (dev/core#1225: 15168)

    Improves the HTML of the smarty templates that power the "Event Info" and "Contribution Page". The pages appear the same to the end user but the underlying HTML is cleaner.

CiviContribute

  • Update Online Contributions section of configuration checklist (dev/core#1259: 15317)

    Improves the user experience of the Configuration Checklist Online Contributions section, specifically: only shows this section if CiviContribute is enabled, removes the system workflow templates list item, improves links to documentation.

  • Add trxn_id as a parameter on Payment.get (15417)

    Adds trxn_id as a viable parameter to the API call Payment.get.

CiviMail

  • Mailing API - Expose option list for header_id and footer_id (15325)

    Improves the Mailing API getoptions and getfields actions to work for the fields header_id and footer_id.

  • Add unique name to mailing_job.start_date (15210)

    Adds metadata to the MailingJob.start_date field to prepare this field to use datepicker.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • Error during "Import Contribution" and not able to import (dev/core#1269: 15447)

    Fixes an error 'Error: Class name must be a valid object or a string in CRM_Import_Parser->parsePseudoConstantField()'' when attempting to import a contribution spreadsheet with a custom field column.

  • Add Custom Fields to Logging Tables (15642, 15726, and 15741; related to dev/core#1093)

    This resolves a fatal error when a custom field is added via XML file upon installation of an extension, logging is turned on, and part of the installation process inserts information on that new field.

    In addition, it preserves a feature looking up option group IDs according to names provided in the XML.

  • Find Activities/Pledges not working in 5.19beta1 and master (dev/core#1348: 15655 and 15657)

    Fixes an error when trying to add and install a new extension thru the ui.
