43 operations ([dev/core#1203](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/1203):

47 has been edited with the usual `hook_civicrm_pre` and `hook_civicrm_post`
50 - **Api support for deduping
51 (Work Towards [dev/core#1230](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/1230):
52 [15196](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15196),

56 [15154](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15154))**
58 Work toward improving the new API support for deduping including: not
59 geocoding when merging for performance reasons, giving contacts with 'merge
60 duplicate contacts' permission to get dedupe rules, ensuring the API call
61 Dedupe.getstatistics requires "Access CiviCRM" and adds a check for 'force
62 merge duplicate contacts' if mode is aggressive.
64 - **Add cid parameter in custom group form url & set it for Activity form
65 ([dev/core#752](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/752):
66 [15012](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15012))**
68 Adds a contact id parameter (cid=) when loading custom data via back end forms
69 so that hooks can modify behavior based on the `contact_id` being viewed.

78 - **Fixes inconsistency between constituency summary and constituency detail
79 ([15222](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15222))**
81 This improves the consistency of how the "Print Report" action link functions
82 on the reports listing. Before this change, some "Print Report" links would
83 take the user to the report in print view, and some would trigger a print
86 - **Add index to civicrm_contact.created_date & modified_date
87 ([15203](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15203))**
89 This adds an index to the `created_date` and `modified_date` columns in the
90 `civicrm_contact` table.

108 instead of 'Administer CiviCRM'.
110 - **Adjust permissions on dedupe exception api to 'merge duplicate contacts'
111 ([15157](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15157))**

114 duplicate contacts" instead of "Administer CiviCRM".
116 - **Open up permissions on Dedupe.getduplicates
117 ([15152](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15152))**
119 Less restrictive permissions on the `Dedupe.getduplicates` API (currently only
120 used from unit tests) specifically moves from requiring the permission
121 "Administer CiviCRM" to "Access CiviCRM".
123 - **Fix inconsistencies in duplicate retrieval
124 ([15160](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15160))**

135 - **Improve deadlock error handling
136 ([258](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/258))**
138 Improves deadlock error handling by capturing the error when the deadlock is

144 Improves handling of malformed Javascript so as to reduce PHP notices.
146 - **Replace some calls to CRM_Core_Error::fatal with exceptions
147 ([15156](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15156))**
149 Instead of exiting with a fatal error, certain dedupe error situations now

164 support date picker conversion
165 ([15177](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15177),

175 picker format for Membership date fields.
177 - **Add default domain to membershiptype API

227 This fixes a PHP warning on PHP 7.2 using hierarchical select fields, such as
