In addition for Civi-import imports it can store more nuanced defaults for Civi-Import (which works on the Contribution Import). - **Define interfaces for interacting with newly cleaned up import code (Work Towards [dev/core#3514](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3514): [25879](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25879))** Defines hook to alter data once it has been mapped but before work is done on it. - **Civi-Import - Add Template search ([25939](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25939) and [25957](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25957))** Adds a Civi Import Template Search. - **Add links to search kits to import preview screen, when Civi-Import is enabled ([25816](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25816))** Adds links to SearchKit user interface to the import screens when Civi-Import is enabled. - **Civi-Import - improvements to the search display for imported rows ([25977](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25977))** Improves the Civi-Import user experience by disabling edit in place for imported rows and reordering the contribution id and status message columns. - **Import data source Re-use already uploaded data, optionally on use of 'back' button ([25787](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25787))** Improves user experience when importing data by storing the uploaded file so you do not have to upload it again if you go back. - **Add handling of `usage` to `DAO` generator ([25874](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25874) and [25934](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25934))** Adds handling of usage to DAO generator. - **Afform - Support repeatable relationships ([25175](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25175))** Supports creating multiple relationships at once using the "Repeatable" feature in the relationship fields. - **Afform - Allow contact created/modified date fields to be used as filters ([25824](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25824))** Makes the contact created/modified date fields available as filter options for relevant Afforms. - **Afform - Show file field values for existing entities ([25294](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25294))** Improves the file-upload interface for existing entities. - **Search kit - address issues ([dev/core#4153](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/4153): [25718](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25718))** Extends the address fields available for the PrimaryContact on search. - **SearchKit - POC help text ([24819](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/24819))** Improves user experience by adding some Help tooltips to SearchKit (which also serve as examples for developers). - **SearchKit - Handle comma-separated values passed from Afform url ([25827](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25827))** Allows multiple filter values to be passed through the url to a SearchKit display. - **SearchKit - Add select options for MONTH date filter ([25739](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25739))** Makes the "Month Only" field transformation in SearchKit into a dropdown select. - **SearchKit - Add next_birthday calc field ([25740](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25740))** Adds a Next Birthday Calc field to Searchkit. - **Speed up SearchKit results loading by 800ms ([25408](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25408))** Improves loading times for SearchKit results. - **SearchKit - Pass entire record into `checkAccess` ([25969](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25969))** Makes SearchKit more efficient. - **Add new `\Civi\Exception\DBQueryException` & throw that rather than a `PEAR_Exception` ([25634](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25634))** Improves logging of database query issues. - **Log sending of Scheduled Reminders ([25933](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25933))** Adds a log line to know which was the last Scheduled Reminder that was being processed. - **Manage groups - add dedicated url for edit/delete group ([25955](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25955))** In preparation for a "manage groups" screen in the Admin UI (see #25899) this updates the url for editing and deleting groups so it does not conflict with the url for browsing groups. - **Extend Authx functionality to support validation of externally generated JWTs (Work Towards [dev/core#3133](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3133): [25952](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25952))** Adds support for using externally generated JWTs e.g. by Auth0 to authenticate users using Authx - **add locale param to smarty crmMoney() ([25726](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25726))** Adds new (optional) locale parameter to smarty function crmMoney(). - **AutoClean - Optionally allow explicit cleanup ([25858](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25858))** Allows some slightly different auto clean code-patterns that will give the same functionality. ### CiviContribute - **PaymentProcessor - Enter title instead of name on form, call hooks ([25873](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25873))** Adds a new "Frontend title" to Payment Processors for end-users, and redefines "Title" as a backend field for admins. ### CiviEvent -

**User editable Message Templates, the Contact Action: Send an Email and the Contact Action: Print Merge/Document cannot use any Smarty Tokens with the crmDate function because CKEditor 4 unnecessarily HTML encodes single quotes (') and double quotes (") ([dev/core#4149](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/4149): [25681](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/25681))** Changes CKEditor 4 default to not encode HTML entities by default which breaks Smarty syntax and prevents use of crmDate function -
