# CiviCRM 5.29.0 Released September 2, 2020 - **[Synopsis](#synopsis)** - **[Features](#features)** - **[Bugs resolved](#bugs)** - **[Miscellany](#misc)** - **[Credits](#credits)** - **[Feedback](#feedback)** ## <a name="synopsis"></a>Synopsis | *Does this version...?* | | |:--------------------------------------------------------------- |:-------:| | Fix security vulnerabilities? | no | | **Change the database schema?** | **yes** | | **Alter the API?** | **yes** | | **Require attention to configuration options?** | **yes** | | **Fix problems installing or upgrading to a previous version?** | **yes** | | **Introduce features?** | **yes** | | **Fix bugs?** | **yes** | ## <a name="features"></a>Features ### Core CiviCRM - **Contact export is very slow, creates huge temporary tables ([dev/core#1725](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1725): [17458](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17458))** Improves performance when exporting contacts by only exporting primary address fields. - **Allow different output formats for CiviReport results, like native excel format, and untangle code ([dev/core#1855](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1855): [17901](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17901))** This makes it possible to extend CiviReport by reworking the PDF and CSV generation code as new output handlers, and allowing for extension developers to add new ones. - **Icon in status message after saving a civireport is misleading ([dev/report#43](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/43): [17863](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17863))** Improves icons in Status Messages for reports. - **Show cron warning on Scheduled Jobs admin page ([18065](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18065))** A pop-up message will appear on the Scheduled Jobs page if cron has not been running. - **Add APIv4 and pseudoconstants for RelationshipCache ()** - **RelationshipCache - Add a high-level index to facilitate relationship queries (more fields) ([17781](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17781) and [17879](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17879))** A new table caches relationships to provide a single resource for tracking relationships from a specified contact's perspective. The RelationshipCache records the "near" and "far" contacts and relationship names along with the orientation and relationship type. Each record from `civicrm_relationship` will have two records in `civicrm_relationship_cache`, one for each orientation. - **Remove ORDER BY and GROUP BY from alphabetQuery to improve performance ([16877](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16877))** - **Differentiate smart group from regular group using icon in select2 field ([dev/core#785](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/785): [17927](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17927))** Improves Group's select2 by adding icon next to smart groups. - **Feature: Ability to enable SSL for database connection. ([dev/core#1137](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1137): [17706](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17706))** Makes it so sites can use ssl to connect to mysql. - **Add in hook to allow for altering of Profile Schemas ([dev/core#1913](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1913): [17986](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17986))** Extensions that allow additional fields to be added to profiles can now add schemas so that fields can be added from new entities. - **Why not make the buttons flat? ([18054](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18054))** Buttons no longer have a gradient background. - **SystemCheck: add ability to efficiently run only specified checks ([17824](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17824))** The APIv4 system check action can now filter on name, running just the specified check(s). - **Change inform-icon to fa-info-circle ([18001](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18001))** The information icon is now produced with Font Awesome rather than a sprite. - **APIv4 - Add keyword to select all custom fields ([17955](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17955))** You can now use a wildcard to select all custom fields on an entity without specifying each individually. - **Improve caching of current domain ([17916](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17916))** Domain information is now cached in one central place, making it more straightforward to use and flush. - **APIv4 - Specify BridgeEntities to assist with joins ([17808](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17808))** Minor entities that intermediate many-to-many relationships are now specified as bridge entities and extend from a new base class. This will allow them to be distinguished better in the future. - **APIv4 - Add shorthand for setCheckPermissions() ([17834](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17834) and [17874](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17874))** The CRUD functions of APIv4 now accept a boolean argument that corresponds to the value sent to `setCheckPermissions()`. This provides a shorthand for a very common use case. - **Add search extension ([17775](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17775), [17789](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17789), and [17864](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17864))** An extension that replaces Search Builder is now shipped with core, though it is hidden from the extensions user interface because it is currently incompatible with the default theming framework. ### CiviContribute - **Add configure and priceset url icons on public contribution & event pages ([dev/core#1905](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1905): [17942](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17942), [18088](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18088) and [18064](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18064))** A "Configure" button now appears to administrators when viewing a contribution page or event, or a priceset within either, from the frontend. This links to the corresponding form to administer the contribution page, event, or priceset. ### CiviEvent - **Move Event Cart to extension ([17741](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17741), [17743](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17743), [17861](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17861), [17884](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17884), [17885](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17885), and [17891](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17891))** The event cart features have been moved to a separate extension that is shipped with core. ### CiviMember - **Option to update expired memberships as part of the job.process_membership ([dev/membership#18](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/membership/-/issues/18): [16298](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16298))** Improves the Job.process_membership API/Scheduled job by adding some new parameters, specifically: - exclude_test_memberships: Exclude test memberships from calculations (default = TRUE) - only_active_membership_types: Exclude disabled membership types from calculations (default = TRUE) - exclude_membership_status_ids: Default: Exclude Pending, Cancelled, Expired. Deceased will always be excluded - **Add auto-renew status to membership detail report ([17683](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17683) and [17911](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17911))** The membership detail report can now display and filter on the auto-renew status of each membership. ### Backdrop Integration - **Support for installing CiviCRM-Backdrop via "setup" UI ([17749](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17749) and [121](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-backdrop/pull/121))** Improves the installation and Setup process for Backdrop integration's so that one enables the CiviCRM module like any other module and then is directed to the setup screen to complete installation as opposed to having to navigate to a specific link. ### Drupal Integration - **Upgrading a site that still has "mysql" in the dsn string breaks in latest master ([dev/core#1937](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1937): [18174](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18174))** This adds an upgrade message for 5.29.0 warning that Composer patching will need to be enabled before upgrading to 5.30.0 or higher. The "mysql" in the DSN (as opposed to "mysqli") will not be a problem, but the solution for this is in a package patch that appears in 5.30. - **Installation - Support "activate first" w/setup UI ([606](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/606))** The new setup user interface for Backdrop and WordPress installations is now available for Drupal 7. ### WordPress Integration - **Add system check to ensure WP base page exists ([17698](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17698))** A new system check will display a message if the base page, as set in CiviCRM, doesn't match an existing page in WordPress. No message will display if WordPress multisite is enabled. ## <a name="bugs"></a>Bugs resolved ### Core CiviCRM - **CRM_Dedupe_Finder parses phone key incorrectly ([dev/core#1767](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1767): [17361](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17361) and [17882](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17882))** The process to match duplicate contacts was not accurately identifying phone fields, causing contacts with matching phone numbers to be treated as if they didn't match. - **Dedupe: Location type is treated inconsistently ([dev/core#1826](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1826): [17645](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17645))** Duplicate matching now ignores location type for postal address fields, now consistent with how it has ignored phone and email location types. - **Installing Drupal 8 using civicrm-setup leads to "incorrect resource url" system status check errors ([dev/drupal#114](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/drupal/-/issues/114) and [dev/core#1647](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1647): [17754](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17754))** Removes the resource URL status check. - **API4: 500 error on chain with custom field ([dev/core#1578](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1578): [17866](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17866))** - **MySQL uses filesort index when building the query which can cause performance issues ([dev/core#1665](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1665): [18052](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18052))** - **Custom fields not copied on shared address ([dev/core#1670](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1670): [17580](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17580))** - **Email template permissions ([dev/core#1751](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1751): [17480](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17480))** Users sending an email are no longer able to save or modify a template if they lack the "edit message templates" permission. - **Using Parent tag in search form doesn't pull contacts marked with child tag in search form result ([dev/core#1795](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1795): [17513](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17513))** - **Activity Search : Tags are not working ([dev/core#1827](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1827): [17655](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17655) and [17755](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17755))** - **Autocomplete-select custom field is not searchable ([dev/core#1805](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1805): [17569](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17569))** - **Do not allow enabling database logging when using multilingual ([dev/core#1812](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1812): [17815](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17815))** This has never worked, with network errors as the result. This prevents it from being set. - **Can't remove subtype if any required custom field is based on it ([dev/core#1853](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1853): [17765](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17765))** - **User account form action not passing along contact id correctly possibly leading to duplicate contacts ([dev/core#1858](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1858): [17769](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17769))** When creating a user account from a contact record, the contact ID was not properly passed along. Depending upon your unsupervised duplicate matching rule, it would potentially create a duplicate contact record. - **Cannot edit a profile field of "Email" to use the Location Type "Primary" ([dev/core#1861](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1861): [17812](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17812))** The location type would get reset to your default location type rather than staying as "primary". - **Downgrade checkEnvironment level and skip non-prod checks (part of [dev/core#1863](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1863): [17807](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17807))** In non-production environments, a system check produces a message saying so. This downgrades it from an "Alert" to a more appropriate level of "Notice", and it also suppresses cron and CiviMail system checks in this situation. - **Slew of E_NOTICES on Profiles admin page and description field is always blank ([dev/core#1868](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1868): [17786](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17786))** - **CiviReport sent as email via mail_report job with a CSV attachment doesn't show UTF8 characters properly in Excel ([dev/core#1869](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1869): [17806](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17806))** - **References to packages path in security status checks are assumed to be under civicrm root ([dev/core#1872](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1872): [17844](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17844))** This changes how package and vendor paths are calculated in system checks since (in Drupal 8 and potentially elsewhere) they may not be within the CiviCRM root folder. - **Custom data insert/update error if using reserved words ([dev/core#1880](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1880): [17848](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17848))** - **Advanced Search (search by complete or partial name) returns all contacts ([dev/core#1895](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1895): [17950](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17950))** The ability to search first/last name was recently added to core. The primary intent was to properly handle advanced searches that originate from quicksearch first/last name filters. While that was working, a first/last name search that originated directly from an advanced search was not working. This fixes the issue. - **Miscellaneous E_NOTICES ([dev/core#1909](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1909): [18006](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18006), [17962](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17962), [17964](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17964), [17959](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17959), and [17985](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17985))** - **CRM_Core_Key::valid() does backwards comparison ([dev/core#1918](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1918): [18007](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18007))** This removes legacy code that appeared to attempt to check for a valid quickForm key but wasn't effectively doing so. - **Upgrade fails for 4.6 => 5.29 during status-check ([dev/core#1932](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1932): [18085](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18085))** - **Installation doclinks not getting url-rewritten ([18175](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18175))** Links to the new installation documentation are now handled in the same way as other documentation sites. - **Wrap multi record custom field inside a div ([17966](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17966))** - **Fixed filling default values for tagssets in the advanced search form ([17978](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17978))** - **Simplify caching of status checks ([17817](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17817))** - **Ensure custom field checkboxes are populated in profiles ([17977](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17977))** - **Upgrade PEAR/mail_mime package to be compliant with PHP7.4 and deploy it using composer ([17948](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17948))** - **Setup UI - Validate that at least one "Component" is enabled ([17778](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17778))** This prevents you from proceeding with installation without enabling at least one component. Not enabling any components causes a messy failed installation. - **Call apiv4 from Contribution create rather than fugly addActivity function ([17881](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17881))** - **Search debug ([17887](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17887))** - **Simplify flushing group contact cache query to reduce table locking and improve performance ([17846](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17846))** - **Make api get upgrade-safe ([17729](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17729))** This avoids database errors when the code and database versions don't match by preventing the API from accessing fields that are unsupported in the database. - **CheckEnv - Give new installs a grace period before 'Cron Not Running' msg ([17800](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17800))** The system check will lower the severity of the "cron not running" check for the first 24 hours after a site has been installed. - **Sort permittedActivityTypes ([17794](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17794))** This improves performance on filtering activity types by making it possible to compare a list of permitted types with the overall list of activity type IDs. - **APIv4 - Fix saving custom fields with same name ([17791](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17791))** - **Status Checks - Use more specific label regarding "Domain"/"Organization" check ([17776](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17776))** - **SQL temp table not using utf8mb4 if server default already set to utf8mb4 ([18012](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18012))** - **Wrong link to admin page in error message about FROM address on PCP page ([17996](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17996))** - **Fix sticky table header on "Find Activities" page ([17917](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17917))** - **Fixed DB Error: syntax error if line item refers to civicrm_case ([16626](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16626))** - **Fix potential js error on summary screen when reloading blocks ([17865](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17865))** - **Fix 'Undefined variable: jsSet in CRM_Core_BAO_Mapping::loadSavedMapping()' ([17816](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17816))** - **Fixed notice error on Relationships report ([17787](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17787))** - **Fix obscure dedupe scenario where 'bad' location data can overwrite good data ([17993](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17993))** - **Fix JQuery Validation for radios ([17937](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17937))** ### CiviCase - **Fix case activity field set to allow long details to be exported ([17970](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17970))** - **Case export has two fields that are not what they say they are ([dev/core#1916](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1916): [18043](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18043))** - **Collapsed custom field set for activities with a required radio makes case activity buttons seem disabled ([dev/core#1928](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1928): [18080](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18080))** - **CRM_Utils_Check_Component_Case - Guard against post-upgrade crash ([17944](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17944))** ### CiviContribute - **Define the logic that sets (or not) contribution receive_date in relation to payments ([dev/financial#139](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/financial/-/issues/139): [17777](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17777) and [18000](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18000))** This undoes a regression where the contribution date of a pay-later contribution would change when a payment completes the contribution. The contribution date is the accrual date and is distinct from the date the contribution is entered and the date when all payments have been received. In the process, this changes the "Update pending contribution status" search action to be "Record payments for contributions". The result is generally the same, but the status change comes about because the payments complete the contributions. You can modify contribution statuses in bulk with a profile by using the "Update multiple contributions" action. - **Disable frequency/interval fields if not required. Mark required if they are so they are validated before submit ([17526](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17526))** The frequency and interval fields for recurring contributions now use jQuery validation to disable or require them as appropriate. - **Paypal IPN sometimes fails to update the next scheduled payment date when recording the latest recurring payment ([dev/core#1679](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1679): [17744](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17744))** - **Contribution Details Statistics are multiplied under many circumstances ([dev/report#21](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/21): [15435](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/15435) and [17809](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17809))** - **Contribution Summary Report: The "general total" row does not take the currency filtered ([dev/report#27](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/27): [16736](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16736))** When the contribution summary report is used by filtering for a currency other than the site's default currency, the "grand total" row shows the sign of the default currency instead of the filtered currency. - **Fix PaypalIPN single function to not receive-by-reference ([18044](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18044))** - **Allow Failed -> Completed status for contributions ([dev/core#1906](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1906): [17943](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17943))** - **Fix currency symbol for Total Amount on contribution page ([17703](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17703))** This resolves a but where the total amount would show the default system currency symbol regardless of the currency configured on the contribution page. - **On behalf label / Honoree Title / Honoree Description not translatable on contribution page ([dev/core#1280](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1280): [16838](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16838))** - **Load contribution page if live payment processor is disabled but test is available ([17828](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17828))** - **Remove requirement to pass 'contribution_status_id' => Pending from order.create ([18018](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18018))** - **Use saved contribution's line items rather than the primaryContributionID ([18033](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18033))** - **Do not overwrite values saved from the repeatContribution routine ([17972](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17972))** - **"Contribution Source" profile field has no effect on new contribution ([dev/core#1902](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1902): [17930](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17930))** - **Incorrect check for "soft_credit" after making pcp donation ([dev/core#1915](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1915): [18002](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18002))** - **Total Tax Amount on the Contribution (generated in backoffice/offline) no longer adds up to sum of the Tax Amount for the individual line items ([dev/core#1983](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1983): [18290](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18290))** - **Downloaded Invoice activity attaches non wkhtmltopdf invoice ([dev/core#1922](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1922): [18056](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18056))** Downloading an invoice would ignore whether wkhtmltopdf was configured and always use dompdf. - **Fix repeattransaction api to use custom data from the template contribution ([17975](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17975))** The Contribution.repeattransaction API will now copy custom data from the template rather than the earliest related contribution. ### CiviEvent - **Can't meaningfully disable self-service transfer/cancellation once enabled ([dev/event#35](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/event/-/issues/35): [18040](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18040))** - **Event registration form has inconsistent labeling ([dev/event#38](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/event/-/issues/38): [17695](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17695))** - **Event cart hidden/enabled in buildkit 5.29 RC ([dev/event#40](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/event/-/issues/40): [18101](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18101))** Ensures that the Event Cart functionality defaults to off. ### CiviMail - **Remove URL-tracking in mass SMS ([dev/core#1843](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1843): [17700](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17700))** Rewritten URLs were confusing and made SMS messages unnecessarily long. There also have never been SMS tracking reports to use them anyway. - **Test mailings create new contacts even when "Add Contacts" permission is not present. ([dev/mail#70](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/mail/-/issues/70): [17867](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17867))** Ensures contacts are not created when a user without permissions to create contacts sends a test email. - **Mailing Subscription form does not validate reCAPTCHA ([dev/core#1755](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1755): [17305](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17305))** - **Text version of unsubscribed email is missing the link to resubscribe ([dev/core#1919](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1919): [18015](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18015))** - **Add CiviMail synchronisation frequency setting (in support of [dev/core#1768](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1768): [17709](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17709))** This adds a setting for updating how frequently the database should be updated with the status of emails that have been sent. Updating the database more frequently can slow the process down, but it reduces the likelihood that a recipient will be re-emailed when recovering from a stalled mailing. - **Mark the new routes for "open.php" and "url.php" as public ([17813](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17813))** This denotes the paths for open and URL tracking as "public" pages as they are meant to be used by unauthenticated email clients and recipients. ### CiviMember - **Decimal Separator - Invalid value "total_amount" (NaN,N) creating or editing a membership ([dev/core#1113](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1113): [16429](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/16429))** - **Offline Membership Renewal Tax Calculation is incorrect [regression] ([dev/core#1972](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1972): [18271](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18271))** ### Drupal Integration - **Drupal 8 - Using Create User Record action on a contact with no email is too quiet.

**Can't find reCAPTCHA in Drupal 8 ([dev/core#1871](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1871): [17822](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17822))** - **Fixed for multi-select filter ([615](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/615))** This fixes filters for multi-select fields in Views. - **Fix URL for file field ([608](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/608))** This fixes the generated URL for file fields in Views. ### Wordpress Integration - **[civicrm.files] token doesn't work in some cases since 5.27 ([dev/wordpress#66](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/wordpress/-/issues/66): [18068](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18068))** Ensures the [civicrm.files] token plays nice for sites with older WordPress file directory set ups. -
