  26 ### Core CiviCRM
  27
  28 - **APIv4 - Add managed entity functionality
  29   ([21955](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21955))**
  30
  31   APIv4 support for managed entities.
  32
  33 - **APIv4 - Add 'match' param to save action
  34   ([21857](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21857))**
  35
  36   Adds a 'match' param to the APIv4 save action.
  37
  38 - **RelationshipCache - Add case_id column
  39   ([21845](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21845))**
  40
  41   Makes it possible to show case relationships in SearchKit.
  42
  43 - **SearchKit - Support download formats xlsx, ods, pdf
  44   ([21351](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21351))**
  45
  46   Extends download format support for SearchKit to include xlsx, ods and pdf.
  47
  48 - **SearchKit - default displays and ACL-aware links
  49   ([21929](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21929) and
  50   [22108](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/22108))**
  51
  52   Gives every SavedSearch an auto-generated table display, and makes use
  53   of it in the UI to more conveniently view or embed a saved search without
  54   needing to manually create a display. In the UI it's referred to as the
  55   "Search results table" to emphasize the fact that it's the same table as
  56   shown on the "compose search" screen, and is not configurable like other
  57   displays.
  58
  59 - **SearchKit server-side rendering
  60   ([21820](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21820))**
  61
  62   Improves SearchKit by doing more of the rendering work server-side. This
  63   allows for more nuanced permission checks of actions, better rendering of
  64   spreadsheets, and opens the door for advanced token formatting.
  65
  66 - **User experience improvement - CiviCRM Manage Events page, expand the Find
  67   Events criteria by default
  68   ([21953](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21953))**
  69
  70   Improves user experience on the Manage Events page by making the Find Events
  71   Criteria open by default.
  72
  73 - **add 'minute' as recurring unit
  74   ([21893](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21893))**
  75
  76   Adds minute as a recurring unit option.
  77
  78   ### Wordpress Integration
  79
  80 - **Introduce "Shortcode Display Mode" setting and functionality
  81   ([258](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/258))**
  82
  83   Introduces a new metabox with a "Shortcode Display Mode" setting.
