Features

Backdrop Integration

• CRM-17711 Add Support for Backdrop (10184) (completes previous work)

  Backdrop is a fork of the Drupal project designed to offer a smooth upgrade from Drupal 7. This is now the fourth content management system supported by CiviCRM.

Core CiviCRM

• CRM-20420 Allow retention of generated PDFs/Docs (10155)

  A new option allows for generated PDF and other document files to be automatically attached to their corresponding activities.

• CRM-19813 Hook priorities and core hooks to support LExIM (10138 and 9949)

  CiviCRM has increasingly relied upon the Symfony framework for providing new areas of functionality. Symfony offers an EventDispatcher component that allows for extensions to respond to events and modify values. Meanwhile, CiviCRM has long offered a Drupal-style hook system for those purposes.

  This change runs hook invocations through the EventDispatcher system to allow for a richer feature set for extensions. This will let core functionality become more modular. Read the introduction to the pull request for more background

• CRM-20361 Populate tokens when Scheduled Reminders are set to Record Activity for Automated Email (10081)

  Activities generated by scheduled reminders now have the token values populated. This is valuable for referring to fields that have changed since the message was generated.

• CRM-20318 Add is_public setting on Custom Groups. (10028)

  Custom data sets now have an additional setting determining whether the fields should be displayed in "public" contexts. The only current application is for events: event custom fields will only display if they are marked as "public".

• CRM-20207 Introduce selectWhereClause hook for activity results on activity tab contact summary page (9916)

  This change increases the coverage of hook_civicrm_selectWhereClause to include the activity listing on a contact record.

• CRM-20312 Identify and fix missing indexes (10109, 10106, and 10108)

  A new system check compares the indices on a site's database with those that would be expected from the CiviCRM configuration. (A mismatch can cause performance problems.) A utility now offers to clean up the database's indices.

• CRM-20313 Add index to civicrm_activity.status_id (10169 and 10025)

  This adds database indices to several commonly-filtered columns in civicrm_activity, civicrm_entity_financial_account, and civicrm_mailing_event_queue.

• CRM-20332 Refactor summaryActions hook to allow user-defined actions in third column (10046)

  Extension developers can now modify all items in the "Actions" list on a contact record using hook_civicrm_summaryActions.

• CRM-18251 Pingback improvements (8525)

  By default, CiviCRM sends basic usage statistics to civicrm.org. This adds the country of the domain's address and the count of delivered mailings to those statistics.

• CRM-20330 Generate a table with composite primary key (10038)

  The database schema generation system of CiviCRM now supports the creation of tables with composite primary keys: two or more fields in tandem serving as the primary key.

• CRM-20368 report templates: don't hard-code order bys (10087)

  Several report templates that had the "order by" clause directly specified in code now use the standard sorting options.

• CRM-20308 Activity copy is always sent FROM logged in user's email ID (10158, 10122, and 10163)

  The from email address for an activity assignment notification will now be determined in the following order of preference:

  1. The email address of the source contact of the activity

  2. If that can not be found, the default from email address for the domain

  3. If the default from email address for the domain can not be found the email address of the logged-in user will be used. This was the prior behavior.

• CRM-19464 supplemental_address_3 only exists in API (10166 and 9857)

  The Supplemental Address 3 field is now available to view and edit in the UI.

• Icons for attachments (10078)

  File attachments now have an icon corresponding to their MIME type.

CiviCase

• CRM-16633 Case Subject not Editable (10123)

  Case subjects can now be edited, generating a "Change Case Subject" activity.

• CRM-20345 Sortable columns (10058) (partial work)

  Cases can now be sorted according to client.

• CRM-20105 Search actions (10188)
