Features

Core CiviCRM

  • CRM-20830 Improve handling of overdue activities (10618)

    Activity statuses can now be edited to denote whether activities with a given status should be considered "complete" or not. This attribute is now the basis for determining whether an activity is overdue. In addition to UI indications of being overdue, the API can return this value for each activity.

  • CRM-20803 Enable Farsi (fa_IR), Serbian (sr_RS), Ukrainian (uk_UA) in the languages option group so that we can install in those languages (10667)

    These languages can now be used for installation of CiviCRM.

  • CRM-20759 Import, add 'Primary' as an address location (10738, 10565, 10594, 10554, and 10547)

    Columns in imports can now import to fields in the matching contact's primary address, regardless of location type.

  • CRM-20793 Add filter - activity date and status on search criteria of activity listing (10588)

    The activity tab on a contact record now allows filtering by date and status besides just activity type. In addition, a site-wide option toggles whether a user's filters on one contact's activities persist as they visit other contacts.

  • CRM-20847 Support custom api with composite primary keys (10599)

    This change adds testing for custom APIs using the basic get function and avoids automatically selecting the id field if there is no such field in the spec.

  • CRM-20842 Change api explorer page title (10633)

    The API Explorer now explicitly states it is demonstrating API v3.

  • CRM-20780 Add settings file option to define CMS_ROOT (10574)

    The CiviCRM settings file can now explicitly set the path to the CMS root.

  • CRM-20169 Add support for alterReportVar hook in Activity Report (9886)

    Extensions can now modify the SQL of the Activity Report.

  • CRM-20721 Add parameter to dateQueryBuilder fn to change date value to desired format (10497)

    Queries on fields formatted in ways other than the typical MySQL date format can now use the standard date query builder method in the contact BAO.

  • CRM-20600 Expose AngularJS screens to hooks (10644) (follow-up work)

    A message now displays both before and after upgrade if a site's configuration is likely to prevent successful asset-caching.

  • CRM-20673 Tag and group edit form: implement Select2 for tags (10634) (completes previous work)

    Tags are now listed in the widget in the same order as they are displayed for management.

  • CRM-20622 contact edit: tags and groups panel layout/styling (10429)

    The tag and group editing interface now uses standard markup rather than unique, outdated approaches.

CiviCase

  • CRM-19778 Allowed statuses per case-type (10552)

    The available options in the API for case status can now be filtered to those appropriate for a given case type.

  • CRM-20794 Colors for case status (10586) (preliminary work)

    When editing case statuses, you may now select a color. However, case display does not yet show the status colors.

  • CRM-20756 Multi tab structure (10545) (preliminary work)

    The AngularJS ui.bootstrap library is now included in CiviCRM.

  • CRM-20816 Case multi/single client settings (10609)

    Settings for redacting activity emails, allowing multiple clients per case, and the sort order of activity types can now be modified in an administrative form rather than exclusively in XML files defining case types.

CiviContribute

  • CRM-20778 Use civicontribute permission for contribution recur.cancel (10569)

    The permissions to view, modify, cancel, and delete recurring contributions now mirror the corresponding permissions needed for working with payments.

  • CRM-20682 Include human readable contribution's custom field label in token widget for Thankyou letter (10467)

    Contribution custom field tokens are now listed among the available tokens in the Thank-you Letter form. They had been processed, but there was no indication that they were available.

  • CRM-20860 Add in password type field availability and apply to payment processor fields (10649)

    Field metadata can now specify the HTML field type of Password which adds a HTML_QuickForm_password field element. This is implemented on payment processor settings fields.

CiviMember

  • CRM-20901 Add submit credit card membership link on membership form (10689)

    The backend add membership form now has a link to the backend credit card membership form.

Backdrop Integration

  • Port of civicrm_engage to Backdrop (28)

Drupal Integration

  • CRM-20751 Support Drupal aliases for event links in Views (456 and 455)

    If a CiviCRM event has a Drupal alias set for it, views linking to the event will now link to the alias rather than the CiviCRM URL.

Bugs resolved

Core CiviCRM

  • CRM-20873 CIVICRM-118 DB Error: no such field / Unknown column 'civicrm_custom_group.is_public' breaks CiviCRM database update process (10662)

    This fixes a bug in upgrading from 4.7.18 or earlier to 4.7.19 or later. Code used by the upgrade to load the available custom data for an entity relies upon a field that is not made available until after the upgrade.

  • CRM-20849 Multiple extensions using the same autoloader prefix will overwrite previous (10637)

  • CRM-20739 contact import doesn't add to group on fill if matching without ID (10507)

    File names of activity uploads had previously been capped at 60 characters.

  • CRM-20776 Menu structure (10573)

    This fixes incorrect handling of URL paths, queries and fragments in the navigation menu. This was a particular problem for AngularJS pages.

  • CRM-20640 contribution summary report: duplicates values with group filter (10603 and 10596)

    Reports with group filters would display rows twice if multiple groups were selected in the filter and contacts were in more than one of those groups.

  • CRM-20871 crmUiSelect fails to update when model changes (10659)

  • CRM-20809 Move extensions cache from $extensionsDir to $uploadDir (10604)

    Cached data about extensions was stored in the extensions directory, which may not be an appropriate place and may not be writable. It is now stored in the upload directory.

  • CRM-20828 Saved field mappings drop down is limited to 1 (10615)

  • CRM-20509 Checking Contribution Note field in reports results in no rows (10631)

    When displaying note fields in reports, the query would limit the results to rows that had notes.

  • CRM-20351 hook_civicrm_buildForm invoked twice on a bunch of forms (10068)

  • CRM-20774 Add check for existing index keys(different values) while creating missing indices. (10572 and 10566)

    The check and resolution for missing indexes would previously be unaware of variations in the keys for equivalent indexes.

  • CRM-20722 'Lock wait timeout exceeded' error triggered on smart group cache rebuild (10498)

    This avoids an error when rebuilding the smart group cache on sites that have a very large number of smart groups.

  • CRM-20443 SQL syntax error creating logging triggers if column name is reserved word (10530)

  • CRM-20950 Contact import mapping to wrong location type (unreleased regression) (10736 and 10735)

  • CRM-20754 memory leak in CLI CSV import (10537)

    This resolves a problem of accumulating too much data in the PEAR_DB_DATAOBJECT cache on large imports.

  • CRM-19702 Fatal error when merging contact records with custom file fields (9784)

  • CRM-19653 Custom field checkboxes migrated incorrectly on merge (part deux) (10407)

  • CRM-19821 Remove performance degrading joins from activity search (& api calls) (10274)

  • CRM-20743 users without reserved tag permission may still modify the tag (10522)

    While users lacking the "Administer reserved tags" permission were barred from deleting or moving reserved tags, this prevents them from editing the tag name and description.

  • CRM-20621 manage tags: the tag usage count is not accurate (10441)

CiviCase

  • CRM-20802 CaseType.create - Stale definition retained in memory (10591)

    Cached case type information was retained even after modifying the case type.

CiviContribute

  • CRM-20765 Missing id for 'onBehalfOfOrg' section (10550)

    The <div> containing on-behalf section on contribution pages lacks the onBehalfOfOrg ID attribute that it had in 4.6.

  • CRM-20753 Net amount doesn't respect localization (10536)

  • CRM-20891 Pay later option incorrectly shows as completed when combining membership and donation (10683)

    Using a contribution page with "separate membership payment" set, a pay-later contribution would incorrectly mark the membership contribution completed.
