### Core CiviCRM
-- **Implement more nuanced 'Administer CiviCRM permisions
+- **Implement more nuanced "Administer CiviCRM" permisions
([16482](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16482) and
[18671](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18671))**
- Breaks the "Administer CiviCRM" permission into two separate permissions:
- 'administer CiviCRM system' and 'administer CiviCRM data'.
+ Actions that required the "Administer CiviCRM" permission now require one of
+ two separate permissions: "administer CiviCRM system" and "administer CiviCRM
+ data". The "Administer CiviCRM" permission still exists, and users having it
+ are treated as implicitly having both of the new permissions.
+
+ However, it is now possible to grant permission to configure profiles,
+ scheduled reminders, and set admin-only price options independently of
+ granting permission to configure scheduled jobs, install extensions, and view
+ the system check. An organization might grant the former to senior staff and
+ the latter to technical staff.
- **Buttonrama ([18410](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18410) and
[307](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/307))**
- Improves appearance of buttons with icons and makes buttons look and feel more
- consistent.
+ This ensures icons and text within buttons are aligned vertically, and it
+ makes form buttons appear consistent with links that are rendered to appear
+ like buttons.
+
+ Specifically, most buttons are now `<button>` elements rather than `<input
+ type="button">`, and button styling now applies to the button itself rather
+ than a wrapper. Extension and theme developers should confirm that CSS and
+ DOM selectors accurately identify the intended button elements.
- **Custom field form reform
([18419](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18419))**
- Improves the admin form for creating/updating custom fields by improving
- validation, making defaults easier to select and allowing more flexibility
+ This improves the form for creating or updating custom fields by improving
+ validation, making defaults easier to select, and allowing more flexibility
around changing the widget type.
- **Add higher-level support for "bundles" and "collections" of resources
([18247](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18247))**
- Adds support for "Resource Bundles" and "Resource Collections" to make it
- easier for developers to add groups of files to a page or form.
-
-- **Bootstrap3 CSS (Work towards
- [dev/user-interface#27](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/user-interface/-/issues/27):
- [18354](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18354))**
-
- Makes it easier for extension developers to work with Bootstrap3 by making it
- available as a "Resource Bundle".
+ "Resources" refers to CSS, Javascript, and DOM variables that developers can
+ add to certain pages. These can now be bundled together to reduce redundant
+ code and can be modified with the new `hook_civicrm_alterBundle()`.
-- **Add select2-bootstrap to greenwich theme
- ([18579](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18579))**
+ The core styles and other resources are now included as bundles, allowing them
+ to be modified in a standard way.
- Improves styling of select2s when using the greenwich theme.
+ In addition, page regions, bundles, and (to some extent) page resources are
+ now treated as "collections" which share a common interface for adding and
+ retrieving individual resources.
-- **Afform GUI: add bootstrap3
- ([18583](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18583))**
+- **Bootstrap3 CSS
+ ([dev/user-interface#27](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/user-interface/-/issues/27):
+ [18354](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18354),
+ [18465](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18465),
+ [18550](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18550),
+ [18583](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18583), and
+ [18579](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18579))**
- Improves styling of the Afform extension.
+ CiviCRM introduced a theming system several years ago, but the existing look
+ and feel was left as a "default", with the *de facto* theming code spread
+ throughout the application. The new themes have generally used Bootstrap 3 as
+ a user interface framework.
-- **Add bootstrap bundle to search
- ([18550](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18550))**
+ A handful of new CiviCRM features have been developed that depend on Bootstrap
+ 3 for core functionality or at least for basic look and feel. Sites lacking a
+ newer theme need a way to load at least a minimal set of Bootstrap 3 code for
+ these features to be functional and attractive.
- Improves styling of the search kit extension.
+ This change introduces a new CiviCRM theme extension, named "Greenwich", that
+ is enabled and hidden by default for all sites. It provides Bootstrap 3 when
+ needed. In addition, it can serve as a vehicle for moving theming code out of
+ core.
- **APIv4 Search: Improve GROUP_CONCAT with :label prefix
([18572](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18572))**
- Improves the Search UI by exposing the DISTINCT modifier and fixing currency
- formatting.
-
-- **Search extension: edit smart groups
- ([18431](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18431))**
-
- Allows the search extension to edit smart groups.
+ This improves the Search UI by exposing the DISTINCT modifier and fixing
+ currency formatting.
- **Search ext: rename to Search Kit, mark as beta
([18672](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18672))**
- Makes "Search Kit" beta1 extension available for installation for all users.
+ An extension to replace the search user interface has been included, but
+ hidden, in CiviCRM for several months. Named Search Kit, it is now available
+ to be enabled for sites.
+
+- **Search extension: edit smart groups
+ ([18431](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18431))**
+
+ Search Kit can now edit smart groups. When installed, the "edit smart group
+ criteria" link will open the classic search forms or Search Kit as
+ appropriate.
- **Search ext: support complex joins & HAVING clause in api4 smart groups
([18644](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18644))**
- **Select field fixes for screen reader
([17675](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17675))**
- Improves user experience when using a screen reader by having the place holder
- text for select2's include the entity name. Screen readers do not read labels
- for select2's so having more explicit instruction in the placeholder (which is
- read) improves usability for these users.
+ The placeholder text for select drop-down fields now reflects the field label.
+ The Select2 widget makes it difficult for screen readers to identify the
+ field's label, so this helps identify the field for users who rely on screen
+ readers.
- **Add modified_date to list of activity tokens
([18611](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18611))**
Adds an "Execute Now" button to the Job log to make it easier to rerun a
scheduled job if needed.
-- **Proposal - add ability to segment query logs
- ([dev/core#2032](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2032):
- [18471](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18471) and
- [309](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/309))**
-
- Creates an option to redirect sql logging output to a new file.
-
- **Send email to contacts when clicking on their email address on the contact's
card ([dev/core#1790](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1790):
[18623](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18623))**
Improves the contact card by making the email a link which takes the user to a
- form to send an email to that contact.
-
-- **Add custom field groups to Membership Contribution Detail report
- ([dev/report#49](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/49):
- [18420](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18420))**

Group page ([dev/report#45](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/45):
Adds the ability to edit the subject and cc fields when emailing an invoice
from a contribution.
+- **Add ability to segment query logs
+ ([dev/core#2032](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2032):
+ [18471](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18471) and
+ [309](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/309))**
+
+ SQL queries can be sent to a debugging log when the `CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY`
+ environment variable is set. Now, the value of that variable can specify a
+ file name for the log.
+
### CiviContribute
- **Move ACls on LineItem create to financialacls core extension
[dev/financial#143](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/financial/-/issues/143):
[18350](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18350))**
- Converts PaypalPro to use Guzzle in order to bring it in under unit testing.
+ The PayPal Pro payment processor integration now uses the Guzzle library for
+ HTTP requests. This improves consistency and allows for unit testing of the
+ request handling.
- **Migrate Eway(Single Currency) Payment Processor Type out into its own
extension ([18349](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18349))**

+ The Eway payment processor is now a separate extension, albeit shipped with
+ core.
- **Make 'Record Payment' & 'Record Refund' visible regardless of whether the
balance 'requires' one
Makes it so the "Record Payment" and "Record Refund" links on Contributions
are always visible.
-- **Propose altering the default of send notification to contributor checkbox on

[18570](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18570))**
- Ensures `hook_civicrm_links` can be used by extension developers for PCP
- actions.
+ This allows `hook_civicrm_links` to be used by extension developers to modify the
+ list of actions offered to personal campaign page creators.
- **Add Line Item v4 API
([dev/core#1980](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1980):
[18388](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18388) and
[18352](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18352))**
- Adds the "Line Item" entity to v4 API.
+ Adds the "Line Item" entity to APIv4.
- **Improve metadata on LineItem DAO

+ ([dev/drupal#138](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/drupal/-/issues/138):
+ [18461](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18461))**
+
+ Drupal now allows for smooth upgrades between major versions by gradually
+ introducing new API functions and deprecating others through the cycle of a
+ major version. A new major version starts by simply removing deprecated
+ function from the latest release of the prior major version.
+
+ This removes the use of a number of functions that have been deprecated since
+ Drupal 8.5 and are removed in Drupal 9. The result is that CiviCRM 5.31 is no
+ longer compatible with Drupal versions prior to 8.5 but is compatible with
+ Drupal 9.
+
- **Finish allowing use of SSL to connect to database
(Work Towards [dev/core#1926](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1926):
[18264](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18264))**
- Makes it so if the CMS config is using ssl for mysql then it autodetects the
- ssl config for the --db parameter.
+ The setup screen now attempts to identify if the Drupal database connection
+ uses SSL and fills the configuration options to match.
