  26 ### Core CiviCRM
  27
  28 - **Warn users who lack PHP-Intl extension (Work Towards
  29   [dev/translation#48](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/translation/-/issues/48):
  30   [17668](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17668), [17728](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17728))**
  31
  32   A system check warning will now appear on sites that lack the PHP
  33   Internationalization extension.  This is in preparation for changes that will
  34   appear in CiviCRM 5.28 and require the extension.
  35
  36 - **Advanced Search - Allow searching by first/last name; pass values from
  37   quicksearch ([dev/core#1722](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1722):
  38   [17118](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17118))**
  39
  40   This makes separate First Name and Last Name fields available on the Advanced
  41   Search form, and it ensures quick search filters are passed to the appropriate
  42   field.
  43
  44 - **Add more search options
  45   ([17372](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17372))**
  46
  47   Improves the search form for individuals in contact reference fields by adding
  48   fields for Employer Name, First Name, Last Name, and Nick Name.
  49
  50 - **End of life planning for MySQL server 5.0 - 5.6
  51   ([dev/core#1681](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1681):
  52   [17518](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17518) and
  53   [17496](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17496))**
  54
  55   Sites running MySQL 5.5 and below will have a pre-upgrade message and a system
  56   check warning to say that CiviCRM 5.28 will require MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10.1.
  57
  58 - **APIv4 - Improve pseudoconstant suffix support
  59   ([17368](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17368) and
  60   [17482](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17482))**
  61
  62   APIv4 allows pseudoconstant fields to be specified with the pseudoconstant
  63   name followed by a suffix, such as `activity_type_id:label`.  This now works
  64   for retrieval and sort.
  65
  66 - **APIv4 - Support custom entity joins
  67   ([17394](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17394))**
  68
  69   Improves APIv4 so that it supports implicit and explicit joins onto custom
  70   entities.
  71
  72 - **Make reCAPTCHA settings clearer
  73   ([17426](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17426))**
  74
  75   The help text for reCAPTCHA settings now specifies the type of reCAPTCHA
  76   supported.
  77
  78 - **Configurable logfile size and hashing
  79   ([17192](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17192))**
  80
  81   Allows a system administrator to give logs a predictable name, allowing them
  82   to be more easily ingested into other tools, and be handled by external log
  83   rotation tools.
  84
  85 - **Allow for installation on Symfony 4.4
  86   ([17380](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17380))**
  87
  88   Makes it so CiviCRM plays nicely with Symfony 4.4.
  89
  90 - **Add domain tokens to the Message Template admin interface
  91   ([17388](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17388))**
  92
  93   This adds the domain tokens (the domain organization name, address, email, and
  94   phone) to the available listed tokens for editing message templates.
  95
  96 - **Hide icon elements from screen readers and add handling for
  97   screen-reader-only text
  98   ([17318](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17318),
  99   [17293](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17293),
 100   [17294](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17294), and
 101   [17310](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17310))**
 102
 103   CiviCRM uses empty `<i>` elements to provide most icons.  Screen readers,
 104   which won't render the visual icon anyway, will either skip over an empty
 105   element or announce it in a way that would be confusing.  This makes it
 106   explicit that screen readers and other ARIA devices should skip them.
 107
 108   Meanwhile, if the icon is the only way a piece of information is displayed, a
 109   screen reader user won't get that information.  This adds a `sr-only` class
 110   that makes the element invisible on screen without being ignored by a screen
 111   reader.
 112
 113   Screen reader text is added for the field option wrench icons, relationship
 114   permissions, and membership auto-renew status.
 115
 116 - **Add icon helper functions and remove most uses of check.gif
 117   ([17279](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17279) and
 118   [17289](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17289))**
 119
 120   This adds helper functions in PHP and Smarty to render consistent icons with a
 121   minimum of code.  It also replaces most instances of the green checkmark image
 122   with a checkmark icon.
 123
 124 - **Separate icon markup from labels and add JS icon helper
 125   ([17319](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17319) and
 126   [17285](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17285))**
 127
 128   These changes improve `CRM_Core_Action::formLink()`, `hook_civicrm_links`, and
 129   certain listing pages so that HTML icon markup is added at the point of
 130   display rather than during the processing of values.
 131
 132   It also adds a helper function in Javascript similar to those in PHP and
 133   Smarty to render icons.
 134
 135 - **crmButton: Support icon=0 for no icon
 136   ([17303](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17303))**
 137
 138   Makes it possible to create a button without an icon using {crmButton}.
 139
 140 - **Replace stop-icon.png with fa-ban over a relevant icon for privacy
 141   ([17283](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17283) and
 142   [17307](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17307))**
 143
 144   The communication preference icons are standardized and more specific than the
 145   old stop sign.
 146
 147 - **Replace image icons with Font Awesome icons
 148   ([17296]([17280](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17280),
 149   [17281](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17281),
 150   [17282](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17282),
 151   [17295](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17295),
 152   https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17296),
 153   [17297](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17297))**
 154
 155   Nearly all image icons have been replaced with the corresponding icons from
 156   the Font Awesome library.
 157
 158 - **Simplify admin console and remove superfluous icons
 159   ([17284](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17284))**
 160
 161   The Administration console has been redesigned to have a simpler layout,
 162   display more information, dynamically include all enabled components, display
 163   responsively on small screens, and remove a slew of 15-year-old image icons.
 164
 165 - **Dedupe performance - hard-remove financial_item from list of dymnamic  refs
 166   to contact table
 167   ([17567](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17567))**
 168
 169   This improves performance when deduping by no longer querying the financial
 170   item table.
 171
 172 - **Trigger fatalErrorHandler for PEAR errors and for logs with severity ERROR
 173   or higher ([17277](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17277))**
 174
 175   This allows extensions that implement `$config->fatalErrorHandler` to react to
 176   a wider variety of errors that CiviCRM may generate.
 177
 178 ### CiviContribute
 179
 180 - **Wrap separators in price field in spans with classes
 181   ([dev/user-interface#18](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/user-interface/-/issues/18):
 182   [17078](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17078))**
 183
 184   Colons separating pre- and post-field help text from price fields are now
 185   wrapped in `<span>` elements.
 186
 187 - **Allow to search on contribution ID
 188   ([dev/core#1580](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1580):
 189   [16484](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16484))**
 190
 191   This improves the "Find Contributions" search form by adding a field to search
 192   by Contribution ID.
 193
 194 - **APIv4 - Add "Price"-related entities
 195   ([17363](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17363))**
 196
 197   Priceset, PriceField, and PriceOption entities are added to APIv4.
 198
 199 - **APIv4 - Add ContributionRecur entity
 200   ([17299](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17299))**
 201
 202   Adds Contribution Recur to APIv4.
 203
 204 ### CiviMail
 205
 206 - **Allow click-through and open tracking to be enabled/disabled by default
 207   ([17291](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17291))**
 208
 209   Adds a setting to CiviMail which allows for setting the click-through and open
 210   tracking defaults.
 211
 212 - **Extend content array of hook_civicrm_alterMailContent
 213   ([dev/core#1620](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1620):
 214   [16629](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16629))**
 215
 216   Adds campaign_id to template for `alterMailContent` hook.
 217
 218 - **Migrate CiviMail "extern" scripts to conventional routes
 219   ([17312](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17312))**
 220
 221   Updates CiviMail's default behavior to replace `extern/open.php` and
 222   `extern/url.php` with `civicrm/mailing/open` and `civicrm/mailing/url`.
 223
 224 - **Make `is_archived` work as a url-search parameter
 225   ([17328](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17328))**
 226
 227   The Find Mailings URL can now have `is_archived` as a parameter to only find
 228   archived mailings.
 229
 230 ### CiviMember
 231
 232 - **Add MembershipType to Api4
 233   ([17448](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17448))**
 234
 235   Adds a Membership Type entity to APIv4.
 236
 237 ### Drupal Integration
 238
 239 - **CiviCRM menu toggle "adjust menu position" customisable
 240   ([dev/core#1757](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1757):
 241   [17362](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17362))**
 242
 243   This hides the "adjust menu position" icon in the CiviCRM Menu for non admin
 244   users to avoid confusion for users who do not have access to the Drupal admin
 245   menu.
 246
 247 - **Provide "Calendar" module with an end-date when a duration is provided
 248   ([601](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/601))**
 249
 250   Improves display of activities in calendar views.
 251
 252 ## <a name="bugs"></a>Bugs resolved
 253
 254 ### Core CiviCRM
 255
 256 - **CRM_Utils_Time::setTime and getTime() and their use in unit tests
 257   ([dev/core#1781](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1781):
 258   [17414](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17414))**
 259
 260   This allows the CRM_Utils_Time functions used in unit tests to use TIME_FUNC
 261   to better isolate timing bugs.
 262
 263 - **Confusing popups when importing activities
 264   ([dev/user-interface#17](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/user-interface/-/issues/17):
 265   [17067](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17067))**
 266
 267   This fixes a bug where the confirmation popup would appear when hitting the
 268   back/cancel buttons, not just the import button, on most import forms.
 269
 270 - **Installing CiviCRM in another language, with civicrm-setup
 271   ([dev/translation#39](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/translation/-/issues/39):

 277   ([dev/core#560](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/560):

 279   [17343](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17343),
 280   [17336](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17336) and
 281   [17341](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17341))**
 282
 283 - **CiviCRM 5.13.4 - smart groups with contact subtypes: subtype is not in
 284   Contact Type field on edit criteria mode
 285   ([dev/core#991](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/991):
 286   [16541](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16541))**
 287
 288   Fixes contact subtypes not being carried over when editing a smart group
 289   created in Advanced Search.
 290
 291 - **Unable to import relationship
 292   ([dev/core#1731](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1731):
 293   [17163](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17163))**
 294
 295   Ensures that importing relationships works as expected when the same field is
 296   to be imported for the main imported contact and a related contact.
 297
 298 - **Apostrophes in richtext fields don't get exported properly in CiviReport
 299   ([dev/core#1743](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1743):

 301
 302 - **Statically added members of a smart group are not found
 303   ([dev/core#1745](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1745):
 304   [17419](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17419))**
 305
 306 - **Deleting an activity with attachments doesn't delete the file or entries in
 307   civicrm_file/civicrm_entity_file
 308   ([dev/core#1753](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1753):
 309   [17298](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17298))**
 310
 311 - **Deselected checkbox settings are not saved
 312   ([dev/core#1794](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1794):

 314
 315   Ensures deselected values are saved on custom field settings forms.
 316
 317 - **Added activity types don't appear in the type dropdown on New Activity
 318   ([dev/core#1822](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1822):

 320
 321 - **API doesn't allow passing option values by label
 322   ([dev/core#1816](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1816):

 324
 325   Updates APIv4 so that it matches based on label if name is not found.

 343
 344 - **Fix issue with building smart groups when $contactQueries is empty
 345   ([17622](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17622))**

 347   If a clause of a contact query used to build a smart group is empty, it would
 348   result in a database error.
 349
 350 - **Replace deprecated `money_format()` fn to support PHP 7.4
 351   (Work Towards [dev/core#1494](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1494):
 352   [17577](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17577), [17730](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17730))**
 353
 354   Adds a deprecation notice and a status check for a money value format
 355   configuration other than the default.
 356
 357 - **QueueTest - Be more forgiving about slow execution
 358   ([17532](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17532))**
 359
 360 - **CommunityMessages - Define more consistent behavior in the face of slow
 361   execution ([17529](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17529))**
 362
 363   This helps avoid test failures on broadcast messages when the system is
 364   running slowly.
 365
 366 - **Scheduled Reminders - Set boolean fields to false if not set.
 367   ([17494](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17494))**
 368
 369 - **Allow bidirectional assignment of relationships from search results
 370   ([17413](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17413))**
 371
 372   Previously relationships could only be created from search results where the
 373   contacts would be valid in the "A" side of the relationship type.
 374
 375 - **Navigation menu - Fix translation of new-subtype entries
 376   ([17451](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17451))**
 377
 378   The "New" in menu items for creating a new contact of a subtype was not
 379   translated.
 380
 381 - **utf8mb4 - If strict mode enabled query will fail if KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is not 0
 382   ([17253](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17253))**
 383
 384 - **Update DAO and l10n schema file
 385   ([17395](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17395))**
 386
 387   Price option name and value are now required in the database.
 388
 389 - **Fix adding languages in multilingual
 390   ([17228](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17228))**
 391
 392   This resolves a database error when adding or removing a language on a
 393   multilingual site.
 394
 395 - **Don't exclude deleted contacts from ACL cache when user has permission
 396   ([17379](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17379))**
 397

 403   avoid markup problems.
 404
 405 - **Add serialize column to civicrm_custom_field, remove "Multi-Select" html
 406   type ([16992](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16992), [17722](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17722))**

 421   ([17245](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17245))**
 422
 423 - **A/B Test - Icon should be Erlenmeyer flask, not bar chart
 424   ([17316](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17316))**
 425
 426 - **Proceeding to confirmation page should be a "next" button not a check
 427   ([17246](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17246))**
 428
 429 ### CiviCase
 430
 431 - **Case Activity: Follow-up activity assignee does not receive email
 432   ([dev/core#1721](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1721):
 433   [17116](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17116))**
 434
 435   Ensures when a follow up case activity is created the assignee is sent an
 436   email.
 437
 438 ### CiviContribute
 439
 440 - **Custom fields disappear on page refresh
 441   ([dev/core#1728](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1728):
 442   [17301](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17301))**
 443
 444   This ensures that financial type specific custom fields are displayed on the
 445   backend contribution form when it is refreshed.
 446
 447 - **Fix pricefield pseudoconstant.
 448   ([17364](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17364))**
 449
 450   Fixes `PriceField` entity to build options for the `price_set_id`
 451   pseudoconstant field.
 452
 453 - **Nuance cancel options for processors
 454   ([17430](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17430))**
 455
 456   This allows payment processors to specify the way they allow cancellation of
 457   recurring contributions.
 458
 459 - **[regression] Contribution amount choices don't appear for anonymous users
 460   ([dev/core#1823](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1823):

 462
 463 - **Import Contribution of custom fields only accepts "Numeric Value" rather
 464   than "Label" ([dev/core#1806](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1806):
 465   [17632](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17632))**
 466

 482
 483   Fixes a jQuery error when submitting a front end contribution form with a
 484   credit card field.
 485
 486 - **Fix payment instrument bug by using correct payment instrument
 487   ([17607](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17607))**
 488
 489   When a backend payment form records a payment it now will use a
 490   processor-specific default payment instrument rather than the site-wide
 491   default if it is set.
 492
 493 - **Payment PropertyBag - Fix setAmount
 494   ([17505](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17505))**

 502
 503 - **Don't allow Contribution.repeattransaction to be used without a recurring
 504   contribution ([17447](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17447))**

 514
 515 - **Support order_reference param in API3 Payment.create
 516   ([17278](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17278))**
 517
 518 - **E_WARNINGS when viewing list of pledge payments
 519   ([dev/core#1791](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1791):
 520   [17434](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17434))**
 521
 522 - **Add propertyBag handling for getEmail when incoming uses email-5
 523   ([17267](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17267))**
 524
 525   Payment processors can now retrieve billing email using the `propertyBag`
 526   class methods.
 527
 528 ### CiviMail
 529
 530 - **Don't log subscription_history
 531   ([dev/core#1762](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1762):
 532   [17323](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17323))**
 533
 534   The `civicrm_subscription_history` table is effectively a log of contacts
 535   being added to and removed from groups.  Rows do not change value; each change
 536   in group subscription results in a new row.  Consequently, there is no reason
 537   to attach detailed logging to this table.
 538
 539 - **Unsubscribe generates 500 server error responses, logs say "missing
 540   parameters" ([dev/core#1773](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1773):
 541   [17402](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17402))**
 542
 543   Ensures the unsubscribe form can only be submitted once.
 544
 545 ### CiviMember
 546
 547 - **Recurring contribution fails with "ipn_payment_callback_exception", for
 548   membership auto-renewal via PayPalPro.
 549   ([dev/core#1608](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1608):
 550   [17355](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17355))**
 551
 552 - **Don't hide disabled memberships from the contact membership tab
 553   ([dev/membership#24](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/membership/-/issues/24):
 554   [17143](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17143) and
 555   [17435](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17435))**
 556
 557   This resolves a problem where memberships of disabled membership types would
 558   not appear on the membership tab but would throw a duplicate membership
 559   warning when creating a new membership with the same membership organization.
 560   This also adds a unit test to lock in the correct behavior.
 561
 562 - **Update MembershipType.name to be a required field
 563   ([17463](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17463))**
 564
 565 - **Fix PHP notice when is_override is not set
 566   ([17273](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17273))**

 569
 570 - **Upgrade from 5.26.2 to 5.27 RC Fails
 571   ([dev/joomla/#28](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/joomla/-/issues/28):
 572   [17710](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17710))**
 573
 574 ### WordPress Integration
 575
 576 - **Styling issues after upgrade to WordPress 5.3
 577   ([dev/wordpress#46](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/wordpress/-/issues/46):
 578   [16967](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16967))**
 579
 580 - **WP - Change definitions of `cms.root`, `civicrm.root`
 581   ([17360](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17360))**
 582
 583   The base logic for computing path/URL defaults is in Civi/Core/Paths.php.
 584
 585   For CiviCRM on WordPress, certain variables (which are easier to compute via
 586   WordPress APIs) are overridden in `CRM_Utils_System_WordPress`.
 587
 588   On WordPress, the path/URL logic for has been split: there is one code path
 589   for normal CiviCRM pages which is based on WordPress APIs, and there is
 590   another for older, standalone scripts in the `extern` folder which is based on
 591   the same logic as before.
 592
 593 - **Declare minimum WP and PHP versions required for installation
 594   ([201](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/201))**
 595
 596 - **wp-rest - Adjust extern URL. Be more defensive about 'query' part.
 597   ([192](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/192))**
 598
 599   This resolves issues with tracking URLs via the `wp-rest` endpoint that are
 600   then modified with `hook_civicrm_alterExternUrl`.
