  26 ### Core CiviCRM
  27
  28 - **Rearrange quick search options
  29   ([dev/core#628](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/628):
  30   [14441](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14441))**
  31
  32   This change makes it so that the quicksearch field options can be rearranged.
  33
  34 - **Improve formatting for settings checkboxes
  35   ([14461](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14461) and
  36   [14419](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14419))**
  37
  38   Restyles the checkboxes on the "Display Preferences" screen so they all use
  39   the same styling for visual consistency and restyles the "Components" settings
  40   field as a checkbox list instead of it being an AdvMultiSelect element.
  41
  42 - **Differentiate smart group from regular group using icon in select2 field
  43   (preliminary work for [dev/core#785](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/785):
  44   [14416](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14416))**
  45
  46   Extends the addField() function to support fields of the type `select2` and
  47   `select`.
  48
  49 - **Cleanup & api-ise the dedupe code (preliminary work for
  50   [dev/core#982](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/982):
  51   [14298](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14298))**
  52
  53   Adds a `dedupe.getstatistics` API action.
  54
  55 - **Add Contact.get_merge_conflicts API
  56   ([14394](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14394))**
  57
  58   Adds a `contact.get_merge_conflicts` API action.

  67   [14333](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14333),

  69   [14279](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14279),
  70   [14319](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14319),
  71   [14315](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14315),
  72   [14421](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14421),

  75   [14283](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14283) and
  76   [14321](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14321))**
  77
  78   Updates phpunit version support so that the CiviCRM test suite works with
  79   phpunit versions 5 thru 8. Removes dependency on discontinued dbunit. Moves
  80   towards using API functions instead of dbunit.
  81
  82 - **Permit sort_name as a url parameter on advanced search
  83   ([14475](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14475))**
  84
  85   Lays the ground work for a metadata based approach to search forms,
  86   Specifically for the contact form. Converts one field (sort_name) to be
  87   added by metadata and also to be supported via url (sort_name=x).
  88
  89 - **Allow updating ENGINE_CONFIG for System.updatelogtables
  90   ([14348](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14348))**
  91
  92   Makes it so users can modify the SQL engine config for log tables thru the
  93   api.
  94
  95 - **Reduce cache bypasses - Do not bypass custom metadata cache in setGroupTree
  96   ([14292](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14292))**
  97
  98   Improves performance when editing a form with custom data by using
  99   the cached metadata instead of doing a database query to rebuild the metadata.
 100
 101 - **Try enabling api4 extension in test suite
 102   ([14241](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14241))**

 104   Makes the api4 extension available when running unit tests.
 105
 106 - **Use data provider to test both API versions
 107   ([14153](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14153))**
 108
 109   Makes it so 311 API v3 tests are converted to also test API v4.
 110
 111 - **Advanced search: activity tags should use select2 ([
 112   dev/core#924](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/924):
 113   [14247](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14247))**
 114
 115   Changes the "Activity Tags" field on the "Advanced Search" form to be a
 116   select2 instead of a checkbox list to improve user experience.
 117
 118 ## CiviContribute

 120 - **Better support in core for token payment processing (continues work for
 121   [dev/core#905](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/905):

 123   [14343](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14343))**
 124
 125   Separates the `contribution_recur` status_id option group from the `contribution`
 126   status_id  option group and adds the contribution recur statuses 'Processing'
 127   and 'Failing'.
 128
 129 - **Add cancel_reason field to civicrm_contribution_recur table
 130   ([dev/core#830](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/830):
 131   [13997](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13997))**
 132
 133   Adds a `Cancellation Reason` field to the form to cancel recurring
 134   contributions.
 135
 136 - **Add time start date and end date values on page contribution widget ajax
 137   response ([dev/core#964](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/964):
 138   [14262](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14262))**
 139
 140   Makes campaign start and end dates available to the campaign widget on
 141   Contribution Pages so that one can customize the campaign widget with options
 142   such as  "Starts in X days".
 143
 144 - **Expose contribution page in Contribution Summary report
 145   ([dev/core#959](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/959):
 146   [14249](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14249))**

 159   titles in the payment create API action.
 160
 161 - **Translation in billingblock.tpl - dropping 'Information'
 162   ([14358](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14358))**
 163
 164   Improves translation of the billing block on front facing contribution and
 165   event forms by removing the word Information from the title.

 182   drupal watchdog were logged at the debug level now errors, warnings, notices,
 183   info, etc. can be logged as such.

 419   [14313](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14313))**
 420

 423   participants for all events would be displayed.

 440
 441   Before this change if the Scheduled reminder job was triggered and there were
 442   active SMS scheduled reminders for which the SMS Provider has been deleted the
 443   job would fail with the message "Provider not known or not provided" and no
 444   scheduled reminders would go out this change makes it so that scheduled

 492   If you create a public contribution page on a Drupal 8 site, it will include a
 493   login link for unauthenticated users, with parameters ?destination=... to
