  31   [20757](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20757))**
  32

  34   checking when crudding phone numbers.
  35
  36 - **Searchkit display with event location data
  37   ([dev/core#2676](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2676):
  38   [20746](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20746))**

  41
  42 - **SearchKit - Allow super admins to disable Search Display access checks
  43   ([20607](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20607))**
  44
  45   Allows users with 'all CiviCRM permissions and ACLs' to configure a search
  46   display to bypass permission checks and display all records to the user.
  47
  48 - **SearchKit - Add translatable descriptions to entities
  49   ([20598](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20598))**

  55   ([20589](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20589))**

  60 - **SearchKit - Add ability to join on multi-select ContactRef fields
  61   ([20764](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20764))**

  64   Afform. Makes it possible to save, search for, and filter by serialized
  65   (multi-select) custom Contact Reference fields.
  66
  67 - **Improve api consistency on custom field creation
  68   ([20743](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20743))**

 111   [20584](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20584))**
 112

 133   ([20720](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20720))**
 134
 135   Improves the "Extensions" -> "Add New" form user experience by displaying the
 136   description below the extension name instead of the extension key.
 137
 138 - **User experience improvement - Remove the confusing mixed terminology used to
 139   describe Tags: "Tags (Categories)" and "Tag (Category)"
 140   ([20268](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20268))**

 142   Improves user experience by removing the term "Category" when referencing
 143   tags.
 144
 145 - **Improve output triggers when logged to file
 146   ([20472](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20472))**

 164   composer on php8 systems
 165   ([20625](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/20625))**

 168   PHP8.
