26 ### Core CiviCRM
27
28 - **Support customdata subtype on entityform (for activity/relationship types)
29 ([13311](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13311))**
30
31 This change makes it so that users can see and edit custom data for entity
32 sub-types (like activity types and relationship types).
33
34 - **[dev/translation#13](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/translation/issues/13)
35 Language switcher for all
36 ([13240](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13240))**
37
38 This change introduces a new setting to the settings page for Localization "UI
39 Languages" for users in monolingual mode (not using multilingual). Configuring
40 this setting results in the Language Switcher block being shown (same as in
41 multilingual mode).
42
43 - **[dev/core#561](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/561) Replace
44 jcalendar instances with datepicker
45 ([13241](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13241) and
46 [13299](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13299)) -- CONTINUED
47 WORK**
48
49 These changes update the Scheduled Reminders Form and the Activity date and
50 case start date fields to use the new datepicker widget.
51
52 - **Improved support for case variability in UF API calls.
53 ([13343](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13343))**
54
55 This change makes it so that the API will accept "UFgroup" and "ufgroup" as
56 the entity.
57
58 - **optimize CRM_Utils_String::ellipsify() method
59 ([13347](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13347))**
60
61 This change improves performance for the function that truncates a string and
62 adds an ellipsis on the end.
63
64 ### CiviCase
65
66 - **[dev-core#564](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/564) Differentiate
67 case relationships in Contact Summary page
68 ([13189](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13189))**
69
70 On the Relationship tab of a contact, this change adds a case icon for each
71 case relationship to denote that the relationship is related to a case. This
72 icon is linked to the case so one can easily access the case from the
73 relationship.
74
75 - **Cache case count when getting list of cases so query is executed once
76 instead of three times
77 ([13368](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13368))**
78
79 This change improves performance on the Case Dashboard when listing cases.
80
81 ### CiviContribute
82
83 - **Add default of TRUE for is_active on PaymentProcessor.create api.
84 ([13291](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13291))**
85
86 This change makes it so that when using the API with the entity Payment
87 Processor and the action create, the parameter "is_active" defaults to TRUE
88 like the UFGroup, CustomGroup, ComtributionPage entities do.

93
94 - **[dev/core#695](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/695) Custom Search
95 results selection failure and

97 affect search results when using Search Builder
98 ([13533](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13533))**
99
100 This resolves some search regressions introduced in 5.9.0 relating to caching
101 and custom searches.
102
103 - **[dev/core#192](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/192) - Search builder
104 fails for != smart group filter
105 ([12344](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/12344))**

108 "Contacts -> Group -> !- -> Smart group" the != operator is respected.
109
110 - **[dev/core#485](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/485) New

113 ([13170](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13170))**
114

116 Website but no Website Type, the Website was not saved, so that the website is
117 saved.
118
119 - **[dev/core#491](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/491) Report results
120 don't show inactive campaigns
121 ([13380](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13380),
122 [13321](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13321),
123 [13341](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13341),
124 [13281](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13281),
125 [13231](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13231),

130 [13356](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13356),
131 [13348](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13348) and
132 [13351](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13351))**
133
134 This change updates the following reports: Member Summary, Pledged but not
135 Paid, SYBUNT, Member Detail, Participant Listing, Pledge Detail, Contribution
136 (org), Household Summary, and Soft Credit to include a filter for active vs
137 disabled campaigns and generally simplifies the campaign related code on these
138 reports.
139
140 - **[dev/core#592](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/592)
141 ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function CiviCRM_API3_Exception...
142 ([13263](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13263))**
143

152 shown once. Before this change if the Activity Type was set the title would
153 show up twice.

165

171 ([13414](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13414))**

217
218 - **[dev/core#454](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/454) CiviCase access
219 to activities permission discrepancy
220 ([12995](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/12995))**
221
222 This change standardizes the permissioning of CiviCase so that users with the
223 permission "access my cases and activities" or "access all cases and
224 activities" can view appropriate case activities. Before this change the
225 permissions needed to view case activities were inconsistent.
226
227 - **[dev/core#603](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/603) DB error on Case
228 Summary report ([13296](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13296))**
229
230 This fixes a bug where running the Case Summary Report with no changes to the
231 default settigns would result in a warning message so that the default
232 settings for the Case Summary Report result in the report running as expected.
233
234 - **[dev/core#625](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/625) DB error on Case

238 without the Columns "Staff Member" and "Relationship" but with a filter on
239 "Active Relationships?" resulted in a DB Error so that one can run this report
240 with this configuration.
241
242 - **Fix broken case activity date filter
243 ([13449](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13449))**
244

246 using the Activity Date filters (From or To) would result in a database error.
247
248 - **Standardize letter case
249 ([13245](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13245))**
250

252 "Print/merge document".
253
254 - **Revert to showing overdue activities on a case first

258 case ([13336](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13336))**
259
260 ### CiviContribute
261
262 - **[dev/core#680](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/680) "Date Received"
263 for contributions no longer mandatory, also breaks financial transactions
264 ([13537](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13537))**
265
266 - **[dev/core#651](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/651) Error exporting

271 custom fields on Repeat Contributions Report
272 ([13350](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13350))**
273
274 This change fixes a bug where selecting a custom field column on a Repeat
275 Contributions report would result in an error so that one can use a custom
276 field as a column in a Repeat Contributions report.
277
278 - **[dev/core#621](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/621) Price field
279 option 9 Decimal Places in GUI
280 ([13355](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13355))**
281
282 This change makes it so that the "Option Amount" field on the "Edit Price
283 Option" form shows only two decimal places, before this change it showed 9
284 decimal places.
285
286 - **Unable to mark price set field as inactive
287 ([13257](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13257))**

304 defaulting to event template after first page
305 ([13478](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13478))**
306
307 This resolves a regression introduced in 5.9.0 where creating a new event would
308 instead create a new event template.
309
310 ### CiviMail
311
312 - **[dev/report#5](CANNOT FIND THIS GITLAB ISSUE) - Fix mailing report unique
313 count issue ([13322](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13322))**

322 Scheduled and Sent mailing screen.
323
324 - **[dev/core#623](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/623)
325 civicrm_mailing_bounce_type.threshold = 30 for 'Away' is that correct?
326 ([13366](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13366) and
327 [13362](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13362))**
328
329 This change ensures that the CiviMail mailing bounce threshold for bounces of
330 the type "Away" is set to be 30, prior to this change some instances had the
331 threshold set to 3.
332
333 ### Joomla Integration

335 - **[dev/joomla#3](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/joomla/issues/3) Recipients are
