24 ## NOTICE: WordPress Service URLs
26 The upcoming release of WordPress 5.5 ([ETA August 2020](https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-5/)) requires changes to several CiviCRM URLs. CiviCRM 5.26+ adopts a new URL convention. For old URLs, there is transitional support that will work for most web-based visitors. However, this may not be sufficient for *external service integrations* (e.g. certain payment processors or email relays which send notifications to CiviCRM).
28 Administrators should promptly assess and update any external services which submit notifications to their CiviCRM-WordPress sites. For more information, see the blog post [CiviCRM 5.26 and WordPress: Important notice](https://civicrm.org/blog/kcristiano/civicrm-526-and-wordpress-important-notice).

38 [16966](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16966))**

44 - **APIv4 - Allow field options to be returned in multiple formats
45 ([17167](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17167))**

77 - **End of life planning for MySQL server 5.0 - 5.6 (Work Towards
78 [dev/core#1681](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/1681):

128 a pseudoconstant function to populate the options.
