  12 ### Core CiviCRM
  13
  14 - **[CRM-19815](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19815) Make
  15   pseudoconstant code generic in advanced search
  16   ([9908](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9908),
  17   [9885](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9885), and
  18   [9799](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9799))**
  19
  20   This modifies handling of pseudoconstants (site-wide lists of options) from
  21   specific hard-coded situations to metadata-based fields.  This results in
  22   removing slow joins and improves speed.
  23
  24 - **[CRM-19492](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19492) When merging:
  25   require row to be taken across before changing row settings
  26   ([9902](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9902))**
  27
  28   The interface for merging contacts is clarified so that merge options such as
  29   location type on a field are not available unless the field is marked to be
  30   merged from the contact which is to be deleted.
  31
  32 - **[CRM-20175](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20175) Increase pager
  33   support to 9999 pages
  34   ([9894](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9894))**
  35
  36   The page number box on search results now allows four-digit page numbers.
  37
  38 - **[CRM-19934](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19934) Performance
  39   improvement on civicrm_acl_contact_cache
  40   ([9807](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9807)) (Partial work)**
  41
  42   The query for building an ACL cache is simplified to avoid a taxing `OR`
  43   clause.
  44
  45 - **[CRM-19816](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19816) Improve
  46   activity search filters
  47   ([9841](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9841))**
  48
  49   Using the API to search for activities involving a specific contact is
  50   simplified and standardized across the assignee, source, and target, plus the
  51   generic `contact_id` parameter.
  52
  53 - **[CRM-19883](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19883) Activity
  54   Priority Field is Not Included in Advanced Search or Activity Reports
  55   ([9816](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9816) and
  56   [9800](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9800))**
  57
  58   The Priority field is now available in the Activity Detail and Activity
  59   Summary reports.
  60
  61 - **[CRM-19938](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19938) Make Civi to
  62   CMS email sync optional
  63   ([9765](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9765))**
  64
  65   There is now an option to disable synchronization of a contact's email address
  66   with their CMS user account.
  67
  68 - **[CRM-19930](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19930) Patch
  69   DB_DataObject::toArray() to sprintf only as needed
  70   ([9735](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9735) and
  71   [177](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/177))**
  72
  73   Database query performance is improved by only running strings through
  74   `sprintf()` when actually necessary.
  75
  76 - **Extension.download API - Allow downloading without installing
  77   ([9898](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9898))**
  78
  79   The Extension.download API still defaults to downloading and installing an
  80   extension, but a new parameter `install` can be set to `FALSE` in order to
  81   download without installing.
  82
  83 - **[CRM-20034](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20034) Support "OR"
  84   params in api get
  85   ([9844](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9844))**
  86
  87   Many entities can now be queried with sets of `OR` parameters, returning rows
  88   that meet one of several criteria.  The API Explorer displays the `AND`/`OR`
  89   option when it is available.
  90
  91   Separately, the Activity.get API now allows for searching by the ID of
  92   attached files and allows for joining on EntityTag.
  93
  94 - **[CRM-19943](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19943) Improve tag
  95   management UI ([9918](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9918) and
  96   [9787](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9787))**
  97
  98   A new drag-and-drop interface allows for editing, nesting, and coloring tags.
  99
 100 - **[CRM-20061](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20061) Allow 'tables'
 101   as a parameter on the revert api
 102   ([9862](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9862))**
 103
 104   This adds the opportunity to specify which tables to revert for a logged
 105   change.
 106
 107 ### CiviContribute
 108
 109 - **[CRM-20158](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20158) Store card
 110   type and last 4 digits of credit card
 111   ([9876](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9876)) (Preliminary
 112   work)**
 113
 114   The `civicrm_financial_trxn` table now contains fields to store credit card
 115   type (e.g. Visa, MasterCard, etc.) and the last four digits of the card
 116   number, if available.  The fields are not yet used by any functions.
 117
 118 - **[CRM-20022](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20022) Add Batch
 119   Title to Columns, Grouping tabs on Contribution Summary report
 120   ([9838](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9838))**
 121
 122   The Contribution Summary report now has an option to display the title of the
 123   corresponding financial transaction batch.
 124
 125 ### CiviEvent
 126
 127 - **[CRM-19999](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19999) Soften error
 128   message when registration is closed for an event
 129   ([9823](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9823))**
 130
 131   CiviCRM now says "Sorry" when you attempt to register for an event where
 132   registration is closed.
 133
 134 ### CiviMail
 135
 136 - **[CRM-20196](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20196) Add a useful
 137   message when the user didn't setup bounce processing properly
 138   ([9906](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9906))**
 139
 140   If you fail to set a domain in the Mail Accounts and send a message through
 141   CiviMail, a log message will note the situation.
 142
 143 ### Backdrop Integration
 144
 145 - **Add a default layout for CiviCRM admin and ability to configure/set to
 146   default.
 147   ([15](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-backdrop/issues/15) and
 148   [20](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-backdrop/pull/20))**
 149
 150   CiviCRM for Backdrop now has a default layout for administration pages.
 151

 153
 154 ### Core CiviCRM
 155
 156 - **[CRM-19929](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19929) Implement pre
 157   hook for entityTag
 158   ([9733](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9733))**
 159
 160   Updates to `civicrm_entity_tag`--tagging or untagging a contact or
 161   activity--now invoke `hook_civicrm_pre()`.
 162
 163 - **[CRM-20201](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20201) Manage Tags
 164   page does not work if a tag set does not have created by set
 165   ([9919](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9919) and
 166   [9913](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9913))**
 167
 168 - **(Regression) CRM_Mailing_ActionTokens - Degrade gracefully
 169   ([9874](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9874))**
 170
 171   This fixes an issue where scheduled reminders and other non-CiviMail messages
 172   would fail if they inadvertently use CiviMail action tokens.
 173
 174 - **[CRM-19453](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19453) In Windows
 175   System->Directories fails to display under Joomla
 176   ([9890](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9890))**
 177
 178   This allows Joomla users on Windows to view the Directories settings page
 179   without errors.
 180
 181 - **[CRM-20144](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20144) API
 182   contact.get group='x' yields ""DB Error: no such field""
 183   ([9884](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9884) and
 184   [9867](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9867))**
 185
 186   This reinstates the feature allowing for contacts to be searched by group
 187   (including smart group) using the API.
 188
 189 - **Display error message for activity processing
 190   ([9882](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9882))**
 191
 192   The activity processor scheduled job now records the actual error message that
 193   occurred rather than a generic failure message.
 194
 195 - **ApiExplorer - Fix js error
 196   ([9883](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9883))**
 197
 198 - **[CRM-19693](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19693) Don't show
 199   options for disabled components
 200   ([9459](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9459))**
 201
 202 - **[CRM-19657](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19657) recurring
 203   contribution receipt comes from logged in user
 204   ([9856](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9856) and
 205   [9842](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9842))**
 206
 207   This fixes a bug where receipts triggered by an administrator's actions or a
 208   scheduled job now come from system-wide information or the default email
 209   rather than the contact associated with the user who is triggering them.
 210
 211 - **[CRM-19972](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19972) Add in Post
 212   upgrade message for addition of manage tags permission
 213   ([9808](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9808))**
 214
 215   The "manage tags" permission was added in 4.7.13, but site administrators were
 216   not alerted about it when upgrading.
 217
 218 - **[CRM-19184](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19184) Activities
 219   target contact list does not truncate
 220   ([9846](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9846))**
 221
 222   When viewing activities, the list of contacts the activity is with should be
 223   limited to the first several.  This fixes a regression that listed all the
 224   contacts.
 225
 226 - **[CRM-18811](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18811) MySQL table
 227   and column aliases can contain spaces
 228   ([8548](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/8548))**
 229
 230   This fixes a problem displaying profiles that have location details for a
 231   location type that contains a space.
 232
 233 - **[CRM-20015](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20015) token values
 234   with ampersand cause error when generating docx letter
 235   ([9834](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9834))**
 236
 237 - **[CRM-19950](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19950) Wrong param
 238   passed to checkPermission function
 239   ([9832](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9832) and
 240   [9810](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9810))**
 241
 242 - **[CRM-18464](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18464) Database Error
 243   upgrading to Civicrm 4.7
 244   ([9679](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9679))**
 245
 246   Some legacy sites had a foreign key from `civicrm_action_schedule` to
 247   `mapping_id` set as an index rather than a proper foreign key.  Dropping that
 248   key as part of the upgrade to 4.7.alpha1 resulted in a failed upgrade.  The
 249   key is now dropped more safely.
 250
 251 - **[CRM-19979](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19979)
 252   GroupContact.delete does not work for contacts with status of Pending
 253   ([9797](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9797))**
 254
 255 - **[CRM-19957](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19957) DB Syntax
 256   Error on all Search Form submission
 257   ([9767](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9767))**
 258
 259 - **[CRM-19955](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19955) custom field
 260   image display in contact record retrieve incorrectly
 261   ([9758](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9758))**
 262
 263   This fixes a problem where files uploaded to custom fields were retrieved
 264   according to the ID of the entity they're attached to, not the ID of the files
 265   themselves.
 266
 267 - **[CRM-19926](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19926) Constituent
 268   Summary Report Filtered by Groups ignores children groups
 269   ([9732](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9732))**
 270
 271 - **[CRM-18427](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18427) Submitted
 272   custom data values not reloaded on form when validation fails
 273   ([9752](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9752))**
 274
 275 - **[CRM-19927](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19927) Error message
 276   when "Add to Group" is pressed with no group selected
 277   ([9731](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9731))**
 278
 279 - **[CRM-19864](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19864) Incorrect URL
 280   in CiviCRM Resources dashlet on Joomla
 281   ([9668](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9668))**
 282
 283   The Configuration Checklist link in the Resources menu was a frontend link in
 284   WordPress and Joomla.
 285
 286 - **[CRM-20180](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20180) Several
 287   documentation links are malformed
 288   ([9897](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9897))**
 289
 290 - **Handle date formats through metadata (see
 291   [CRM-19490](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19490),
 292   [CRM-18387](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18387),
 293   [CRM-20012](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20012),
 294   [CRM-20011](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20011),
 295   [CRM-15948](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-15948), and
 296   [CRM-19911](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19911))
 297   (([9888](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9888),
 298   [9845](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9845),
 299   [9843](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9843), and
 300   [9830](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9830))) (Preliminary work)**
 301
 302   A variety of problems periodically emerge with date fields, mainly due to the
 303   practically-unique ways of defining and handling each date field.  The goal of
 304   this work is to define all date fields through metadata.  Changes so far
 305   define the metadata for date fields, but the fields are still generated the
 306   old way.
 307
 308 - **[CRM-19887](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19887) Activity
 309   Summary report gives DB error on sort by email
 310   ([9690](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9690))**
 311
 312 - **[CRM-19982](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19982) Can't enter
 313   dates in 4.7.16. Can only enter characters in word "birth"
 314   ([9831](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9831))**
 315
 316 - **[CRM-19947](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19947) custom multi
 317   profile: file upload display issue
 318   ([9754](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9754))**
 319
 320   On profiles including fields from multi-record custom data sets, files
 321   uploaded in one record were appearing in other records on the same contact.
 322
 323 ### CiviCase
 324
 325 - **[CRM-19956](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19956) Moving/Copying
 326   activities between Cases
 327   ([9766](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9766))**
 328
 329   This fixes an issue preventing the selection of a destination case when moving
 330   or copying activities.
 331
 332 ### CiviContribute
 333
 334 - **[CRM-19830](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19830) Cleanup
 335   contribution search by making non-exportable fields exportable
 336   ([9718](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9718))**
 337
 338 - **[CRM-19793](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19793) Redirect
 339   payment processors that fail result in ugly fatal - be prettier
 340   ([9762](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9762))**
 341
 342 - **[CRM-19949](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19949) Notice appear
 343   when setup profiles contain common field with contribution page
 344   ([9753](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9753))**
 345
 346 - **[CRM-19881](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19881): Time
 347   clobbered in receive_date and trxn_date for api contribution repeattransaction
 348   and completetransaction
 349   ([9680](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9680))**
 350
 351   The API spec for the contribution `gettransaction` and `repeattransaction`
 352   actions did not contain time, so the receive date and transaction dates were
 353   set to midnight.
 354
 355 - **[CRM-20145](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20145) line_item with
 356   $0 amount may error when creating civicrm_entity_financial_trxn
 357   ([9866](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9866))**
 358
 359 - **[CRM-20048](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20048) PayPal IPNs
 360   not processed if "receiver_email" != "business"
 361   ([9858](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9858))**
 362
 363   This resolves problems if a site's PayPal account has a `receiver_email` that
 364   is different from the main email address for their business account.  CiviCRM
 365   now looks for the `business` email.
 366
 367 - **[CRM-19908](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19908) Fundamental
 368   Fixes for Tax Math Calculations.
 369   ([9711](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9711))**
 370
 371   This change defers rounding of tax amounts until after being multiplied by an
 372   item's quantity and avoids deriving a tax rate from the amount of tax on a
 373   line item.
 374
 375 - **[CRM-19517](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19517) Show price
 376   field Options that use disabled Financial Types so they can be edited.
 377   ([9763](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9763))**
 378
 379 - **[CRM-19802](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19802) Contribution
 380   page : missing translation
 381   ([9587](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9587))**
 382
 383   This fixes the wrapping of translatable strings in Javascript within page
 384   templates.
 385
 386 - **[CRM-19873](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19873)
 387   contribute.repeattransaction fails when contribution_recur_id is a test
 388   recurring contribtuion
 389   ([9674](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9674))**

 400

 402   required, and a user registered for the event without any of the price fields
 403   having a value.
 404

 414   for participant status on Event Income Report (Summary)
 415   ([9833](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9833))**
 416

 418   label.
 419
 420 ### CiviMail
 421
 422 - **[CRM-20016](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20016) Fatal error

 430 ### CiviMember
 431
 432 - **[CRM-19871](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19871) Default
 433   Membership Type not selected - Contribution Form
 434   ([9704](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9704))**
 435
 436   The membership type on contribution pages was defaulting according to weight
 437   rather than the type marked as default.
 438
 439 - **[CRM-19936](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19936) Membership
 440   line items are duplicated when a membership is created or renewed with
 441   priceset containing multiple memberships
 442   ([9744](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9744)) (Partially
 443   fixed)**
 444
 445   Bug was as described.  The cause has been repaired, but the issue is still
 446   pending an action to repair the duplicate line items.
 447
 448 - **[CRM-20010](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20010) Membership

 455
 456 ### Drupal Integration Modules
 457
 458 - **[CRM-19910](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19910) Drupal view
 459   contact sub type IN query
 460   ([424](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/424))**
 461
 462   Views was attempting to filter contact subtype as a single-value field rather
 463   than a delimited multi-value field.
 464
 465 - **[CRM-20051](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-20051) Drupal 8 user
 466   view page, Profile information not displaying
 467   ([428](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/428))**
 468
 469   CiviCRM's implementation of `hook_user_view()` needed to reflect a change to
 470   the hook function signature.
 471
 472 - **[CRM-19960](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19960) Drupal 8

 478   view after applying patch CRM-18776
 479   ([417](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/417))**
 480
 481   This reverts a change for
 482   [CRM-18776](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18776), which in turn
 483   was attempting to fix a bug with custom fields that apply to only certain
 484   types of an entity (e.g. activity types or financial types).  That original
 485   issue is still outstanding.
 486

 495   fully implemented in the merging of duplicate contacts.
