Features

Core CiviCRM

  • CRM-16243 Dependency management for extensions (11173 and 11101)

    Extensions can now specify other extensions they depend on. When enabling an extension, the requisite extensions will be automatically enabled first. However, for now at least, this does not automatically download those extensions.

  • CRM-20769 Allow for Button Text on profiles to be overriden in settings (10557)

    You can now enter custom labels for the Save and Cancel buttons on profiles in Create or Edit modes.

  • CRM-21322 create hook to modify entityRef fields (11192)

    A new hook allows extension developers to modify the parameters for entity reference fields that appear in a form.

  • CRM-21195 Adding the ability to add icons to menu items (11054) (follow-up work)

    This offers a slight adjustment to the markup for menu item icons.

  • CRM-21262 Add a check for incorrect Resource URL (11067)

    A message will now appear on the Status Report if a site's CiviCRM Resource URL is set incorrectly.

  • CRM-20903 Improve ordering of dedupe rules (11109 and 11098)

    Duplicate matching rules are now displayed in a consistent order: first the supervised and unsupervised rules, and then the general use rules in alphabetical order by title.

  • CRM-20304 Add option to alphabetize option values (11045)

    Custom field options can now be alphabetized in one click.

  • CRM-21179 Dashlet - Charts (11005) (preliminary work)

    CiviCRM now ships with the dc.js, d3.js, and crossfilter.js libraries. These historically have been provided by the Civisualize extension, but they are now available for report developers who don't want the full set of Civisualize features.

  • CRM-21122 Support selection of smart groups on Contact Dashboard (10925)

    Smart Groups with Public Pages visibility are now available for users to join them through the User Dashboard.

  • CRM-21379 Fix Activity dashlet issues (11221)

    The Activities dashlet now has the option to display all activities regardless of status. The default is the legacy behavior of only displaying scheduled activities. Legacy users should note that the default order is reversed, with the newest activities displayed first.

  • Hw 390 fixed iframe popup (11075)

    iframe popups on AngularJS pages now have a default height.

CiviCase

  • CRM-20078 Activity card - General (11159)

    The "File on case" button is improved so that it does not appear when an activity is being viewed in the context of a case. In addition, when using "File on case", the case defaults to an open case for the activity target contact if one is available.

CiviContribute

  • CRM-20868, CRM-21480, and CRM-21479 set invoice_number at contribution->create, not invoice creation (10681, 11341, and 11321)

    Every contribution now comes with an invoice number regardless of whether an invoice has been generated.

  • CRM-21354 Allow "Advanced Search" to search for recurring contribution status (11080)

    Recurring contribution status is now searchable in Advanced Search.

  • CRM-21346 Make pledge installment count & amount exportable (11194)

    The number of installments and original installment amount fields for pledges are now exportable from the pledge search.

  • CRM-21287 Add Financial Type to "Contributions by Household" report (11106)

    The "Contributions by Household" report now has the option to display and/or filter by financial type.

CiviMail

  • CRM-20919 Adjust Mailing.create api for creating Completed mailings (10707)

    Completed mailings can now be imported via the API.

  • CRM-21231 On CiviMail screen make 'Review and Schedule' tab active if required fields are filled (11035)

    When composing a message in CiviMail, the second tab, "Review and Schedule", is disabled at first. Now, the tab link becomes active when the first tab is complete.

  • CRM-21282 Improve ordering of CiviMail click reporting (11099)

    The click report summary now orders links by the descending number of clicks.

Drupal Integration

  • CRM-21297 Automatically fill database details in installer for Drupal (11113)

    The database connection fields when installing CiviCRM on Drupal now default to the CMS database connection details. This matches the process on WordPress.

WordPress Integration

  • CRM-18754 Process extension parameters in shortcodes (112)

    Extensions and WordPress plugins can now process custom parameters in the civicrm shortcode.

  • CRM-21212 Get E2E Tests working on wordpress (11017) (preliminary work)

    A new function retrives the WordPress user ID from a user name.

  • CRM-21306 DoctorWhen extension looses the comments from columns when converting (11129)

    This prevents complex address inheritance cases such as second-degree address sharing and recursive address sharing.

    On file custom fields in multiple-entry custom data sets, the first entry's file would display for all entries.

  • CRM-21258 Display name fatal error if names are too long (11063)

    Display name and sort name will now be truncated rather than cause a fatal error if the length is too long.
