  68 ### Core CiviCRM
  69
  70 - **[CRM-19591](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19591) Creating a
  71   pledge with only one installment will cause pledge payment to have a null

  80   violation.
  81
  82 - **[CRM-19333](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19333) Advanced
  83   Search issue when searching using Group Type(s)
  84   ([9534](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9534))**
  85
  86   Searching for contacts in groups of a specific group type no longer results in
  87   a database syntax error.

  98   ([9428](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9428))**
  99
 100   Various queries having `GROUP BY` set, but with non-aggregated columns besides
 101   those that are grouped, have been resolved to be compatible with MySQL
 102   installations where the `sql_mode` contains `only_full_group_by`.  Some have
 103   removed columns from the `SELECT`, while others have added to the `GROUP BY`
 104   clause.
 105
 106 - **[CRM-19698](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19698) Wrong search
 107   results when combining smart and non-smart groups in a single search
 108   ([9506](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9506))**
 109
 110   Searching for a smart group alongside other groups now accurately displays
 111   contacts who are in any of the groups, rather than just the smart group.
 112
 113 - **[CRM-19743](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19743) API Utils

 118   token not populating in Drupal 7
 119   ([9479](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9479))**
 120
 121   This fixes a broken or missing login URL link token on Drupal sites.
 122
