These changes: - expose labels to APIv4 - switch to using labels in the new search extension. - separates titles from labels in exportable fields. - attempts to clarify the difference between titles and labels in the getfields description as: - title: "Technical name of field, shown in API and exports" - label: "User-facing label, shown on most forms and displays" - **Metadata fix - phone_type_id, location_type_id, gender_id ([18114](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18114))** Improves metadata for various fields to align with new title and label standards. - **CRM_Utils_VersionCheck - respect force param ([18183](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18183))** Makes the versionCheck job more consistent with other checks by respecting APIv4's "force" setting to run even if disabled. - **Add Serialize key to payment_processor field for Event & Contribution Page ([18110](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18110))** Use metatdata rather than code handling to save array of processors. This makes it so that the DAO can handle arrays if it knows the format. ### CiviContribute - **Shell Financial ACLs extension ([18269](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18269))** Begins work to move Financial ACL code into an extension. - **Add Line Item v4 API (Work Towards [dev/core#1980](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1980): [18275](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18275) and [18293](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18293))** Extends permission handling for LineItem delete and LineItem ACLs from APIv3 to to APIv4 by moving it to the `financialacls` extension. - **Book keeping Report : Add Time field for Transaction Date and Receive Date field ([dev/report#47](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/report/-/issues/47): [18268](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18268))** Adds a time field to the "Transaction Date" and "Receive Date" filters on the Bookkeeping report. ### CiviEvent - **Wrap "not you" message in crmRegion ([18236](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18236))** Wraps the "Not you, do you want to register for someone else" message in a crmRegion so that it can be removed/replaced by the buildForm hook. ### CiviMail - **Add new columns to mailing summary report ([dev/core#1944](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1944): [18132](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18132))** Adds two new columns to the mailing summary report: "Sender Name" and "Sender Email". - **Add disable_smarty option to MessageTemplate.send API ([18118](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18118))** Improves the `MessageTemplate.send` API by adding a new optional parameter "disable_smarty", when "disable_smarty" is set to true smarty is not applied to the contents of the message. ### WordPress Integration - **Switch WP over to new installer ([dev/wordpress#37](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/wordpress/-/issues/37): [215](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/215))** Switch to new CiviCRM Installer. ### Drupal Integration - **Allow for the setting of an additional constant CIVICRM_DRUSH_DSN ([613](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/613))** Allows sites to configure CIVICRM_DRUSH_DSN for drush to use to set up database connections. ## <a name="bugs"></a>Bugs resolved ### Core CiviCRM - **Increase size of mysql field in export table for column with CRM_Utils_Type::T_INT type ([dev/core#1661](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1661): [17956](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/17956))** Fixes some data too long for column errors when exporting. - **Improve robustness of api/class.api.php ([18283](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18283))** Ensures that the API mode is set to "local" when an empty string is passed as the server. - **add serialize data to actionschedule ([18289](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18289))** Ensures one can create a scheduled reminder via the API that triggers on two different events. - **API - Add upgrade-safe checks to ensure table exists before reading ([18135](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18135))** Adds efficient checks into the API (v3 and v4) to ensure a DAO table exists before trying to read from it. This prevents hard-crashes in the UI when there are pending updates (or during the upgrade process itself), - **DB_DataObject - Read CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY correctly ([305](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages/pull/305))** Makes The value of `CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY` TRUE-ish or FALSE-ish instead of considering any value true. -

**Processors - remove gross_amount param from processors ([18177](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18177))** The gross_amount param is returned by a bunch of processors but is not used so this removes it. - **{contribution.receipt_date} token does not use any CiviCRM date formatter, output in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format and {contribution.receive_date} also uses a non-standard format ([18176](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18176))** -
