### Bugs

#### Core CiviCRM

- **[CRM-19472](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19472) Export headers
  for relationships are in machine name format
  ([9187](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9187))**

  Fixed problem where relationship type labels were not displaying correctly in
  export files

- **[CRM-19380](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19380) Allow for
  multiple from email addresses but only one per domain
  ([9066](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9066))**

- **[CRM-19122](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19122) Group
  Organization & parent default code should be the same
  ([8751](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/8751))**

  In a multisite instance of CiviCRM, you should be able to set the group
  organization for smart groups as well as static groups.

- **[CRM-19471](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19471) Custom
  relationships for custom contact types not available during export
  ([9259](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9259))**

  Fixed problem where related contacts, related via relationship types specific
  to contact subtypes, were not available in the export screen.

  permission checks bypass standard route in WP
  ([8707](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/8707))**

  Fixed problem in WordPress where the normal permission checks and hooks were
  bypassed on profiles in edit mode.

- **[CRM-19490](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19490) Add a “short
  date” format setting to allow for localized display of dates in profile fields
  ([9253](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9253))**

  When date fields appear in profiles on the confirmation page of contribution
  pages, they should show the date in the localized format.

- **[CRM-17616](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17616) Moving to an
  arbitrary search page result could lead to incomplete results
  ([9266](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9266))**

  When viewing hundreds of rows in search results, a cache is kept of the next
  several hundred rows; this cache should be filled and sized according to the
  page being viewed.

- **Minor comment fix
  ([9269](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9269))**

- **[CRM-19511](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19511) Disabled
  fields still visible in "Import Multi-value Custom Data"
  ([9274](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9274))**

  When importing multi-value custom data, disabled custom fields should not be
  available for import.

- **[CRM-19512](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19512) Ensure that
  language param is always passed in for navigation script url
  ([9280](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9280))**

  When getting a locale, there should always be a result; `en_US` is the
  fallback.

- **[CRM-19528](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19528)
  Internationalise "Select Code" on contributions page widget tab
  ([9282](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9282))**

  The US English words “select code” on the contribution page widget should be
  translated.

- **[CRM-19313](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19313) Can't assign
  custom group to relationships with two contact subtypes involved
  ([9287](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9287) and

  Formatting tags and style should be stripped out of news items in the CiviCRM
  News dashlet

  is incorrectly using IN rather than BETWEEN for custom fields for civicrm
  group cache ([9284](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9284))**

  A smart group based upon a search by range should include the whole range, not
  just the extremes.

- **[CRM-19540](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19540) UFGroup API
  does not respect name parameter
  ([9295](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9295))**

  Creating a profile through the API should allow you to specify a machine name
  rather than have it generated from the title

- **[CRM-19541](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19541) Custom Date
  Range saved search doesn't sets default values to the input
  ([9297](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9297))**

  After creating a smart group, the values displayed in the search form should
  reflect the smart group criteria. Until this fix, range criteria for a date
  field weren’t filled.

- **[CRM-19559](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19559) Handling for
  postal_code missing in CRM_Contact_BAO_Contact_Utils::contactDetails()
  ([9313](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9313))**

  Autocomplete Contact Search it was not retrieved in Contribute, Activity,
  Member and Event batch forms.

- **[CRM-19543](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19543) api fields set
  to '0' are not passed to _civicrm_api3_api_match_pseudoconstant for validation
  ([9320](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9320))**

  An integer field with the value “0” should not bypass validation

- **[CRM-19563](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19563) Mappings from
  search builder saved with mapping_type_id = NULL
  ([9316](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9316))**

  When creating a smart group from search builder, the mapping type should be
  set as “Search Builder”, and the mapping should not appear in the
  import/export mappings list.

- **[CRM-19278](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19278) Google
  Geocoding - Errors are ignored
  ([8956](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/8956))**

  for the address), the error message should be logged.

- **[CRM-19485](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19485) Selector issue
  on Batch trxn assignment page
  ([9211](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9211))**

  is checked, all transactions should be checked.

- **[CRM-19536](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19536) Type is not
  defined for field campaign_id in CRM_Report_Form->whereClause()
  ([9288](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9288))**

  Reports should treat `campaign_id` as an integer.

#### CiviCase

- **Select correct activity if more than one in upcoming or recent period
  ([9011](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9011))**

  The upcoming case activity displayed with a case should be the one coming up
  soonest within the next 14 days.  Similarly, the recent case activity should
  be the most recent one within the past 14 days.

- **Remove phony fk info from case api
  ([9262](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9262))**

  No longer specify foreign key APIs for contact and activity IDs in the case
  API spec

- **[CRM-19506](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19506) API Regression -
  conflicting uniquename in CaseContact DAO
  ([9318](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9318))**

  `case_contact_id`

- **Remove accidental debug statement
  ([9292](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9292))**

- **[CRM-19539](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19539) Bug prevents
  error message to be shown on pledge contribution import
  ([9302](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9302))**

  Importing pledges with problems should generate meaningful error messages

- **[CRM-3795](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3795) 'Bcc' fields on
  the contribution pages behave like 'Cc'
  ([9312](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9312))**

  This provides some commentary on the fix, which was included in 4.7.11

- **[CRM-19561](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19561) When using Pay
  Later with a Price Set, Contribution Details in Email Receipt are Blank
  ([9321](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9321))**

  Fixed problem on online contributions where pay-later contributions with price
  sets had no contribution details.

#### CiviEvent

  take effect on participants of all enabled events.

  participant/add form does not properly check for duplicates
  ([9303](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9303))**

  When registering a contact for an event from the backend, the form should
  prevent the registration if that contact has already been registered.

- **[CRM-18594](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18594) Creating event
  templates throws an 'Invalid Entity Filter' exception
  ([8424](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/8424))**

  Test that events can have text as the event type.

#### CiviGrant

- **[CRM-19543](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19543) contact_id
  should be marked as required on grant api
  ([9296](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9296))**

  The Grant API spec should indicate that `contact_id`, `status_id`, and
  `amount_total` are required.
