## <a name="bugs"></a>Bugs resolved

### Core CiviCRM

- **[CRM-19591](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19591) Creating a
  pledge with only one installment will cause pledge payment to have a null
  status (and cannot record a payment)
  ([9557](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9557))**

- **[CRM-19772](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19772) Add
  $entity,$action to "possibly mandatory" exception message
  ([9543](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9543))**

  The API exception message is clearer in some cases with a database constraint
  violation.

- **[CRM-19333](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19333) Advanced
  Search issue when searching using Group Type(s)
  ([9534](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9534))**

  a database syntax error.

- **[CRM-19764](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19764) Context
  ignored when fetching custom field options

  mailing failing because of "only_full_group_by" setting
  ([9428](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9428))**

  Various queries having `GROUP BY` set, but with non-aggregated columns besides
  those that are grouped, have been resolved to be compatible with MySQL
  installations where the `sql_mode` contains `only_full_group_by`.  Some have
  removed columns from the `SELECT`, while others have added to the `GROUP BY`
  clause.

- **[CRM-19698](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19698) Wrong search

  internationalization.

- **[CRM-18248](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18248) Performance -
  select2 based contact autocomplete spams the DB server with potentially long
  running queries ([9502](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9502))**

  for the pending payment, and once for the completion.

  Reports now accurately accept fixed date filter parameters in the URL.

  Search by email, blank
  ([9537](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/9537) and
