  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))**
  50
  51   Gives every SavedSearch an auto-generated table display, and makes use
  52   of it in the UI to more conveniently view or embed a saved search without
  53   needing to manually create a display. In the UI it's referred to as the
  54   "Search results table" to emphasize the fact that it's the same table as
  55   shown on the "compose search" screen, and is not configurable like other
  56   displays.
  57
  58 - **SearchKit server-side rendering
  59   ([21820](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21820))**
  60
  61   Improves SearchKit by doing more of the rendering work server-side. This
  62   allows for more nuanced permission checks of actions, better rendering of
  63   spreadsheets, and opens the door for advanced token formatting.
  64
  65 - **User experience improvement - CiviCRM Manage Events page, expand the Find
  66   Events criteria by default
  67   ([21953](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21953))**
  68
  69   Improves user experience on the Manage Events page by making the Find Events
  70   Criteria open by default.
  71
  72 - **add 'minute' as recurring unit
  73   ([21893](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21893))**
  74
  75   Adds minute as a recurring unit option.
  76
  77   ### Wordpress Integration
  78
  79 - **Introduce "Shortcode Display Mode" setting and functionality
  80   ([258](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/258))**
  81
  82   Introduces a new metabox with a "Shortcode Display Mode" setting.
