## <a name="features"></a>Features

### Core CiviCRM

- **Rearrange quick search options
  ([dev/core#628](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/628):
  [14441](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14441))**

  This change makes it so that the quicksearch field options can be rearranged.

- **Improve formatting for settings checkboxes
  ([14461](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14461) and
  [14419](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14419))**

  Restyles the checkboxes on the "Display Preferences" screen so they all use
  the same styling for visual consistency and restyles the "Components" settings
  field as a checkbox list instead of it being an AdvMultiSelect element.

- **Differentiate smart group from regular group using icon in select2 field
  (preliminary work for [dev/core#785](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/785):
  [14416](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14416))**

  Extends the addField() function to support fields of the type `select2` and
  `select`.

- **Cleanup & api-ise the dedupe code (preliminary work for
  [dev/core#982](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/982):
  [14298](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14298))**

  Adds a `dedupe.getstatistics` API action.

  Updates phpunit version support so that the CiviCRM test suite works with
  phpunit versions 5 thru 8. Removes dependency on discontinued dbunit. Moves
  towards using API functions instead of dbunit.

- **Permit sort_name as a url parameter on advanced search
  ([14475](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14475))**

  Lays the ground work for a metadata based approach to search forms,
  Specifically for the contact form. Converts one field (sort_name) to be
  added by metadata and also to be supported via url (sort_name=x).

  ([14348](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14348))**

  api.

  ([14292](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14292))**

  Improves performance when editing a form with custom data by using
  the cached metadata instead of doing a database query to rebuild the metadata.

- **Try enabling api4 extension in test suite
  ([14241](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14241))**

  Makes the api4 extension available when running unit tests.

  dev/core#924](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/924):
  [14247](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14247))**

  select2 instead of a checkbox list to improve user experience.

  [dev/core#905](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/905):
  [14395](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14395) and
  [14343](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14343))**

  status_id  option group and adds the contribution recur statuses 'Processing'
  and 'Failing'.

  ([dev/core#830](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/830):
  [13997](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/13997))**

  response ([dev/core#964](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/964):
  [14262](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14262))**

  Makes campaign start and end dates available to the campaign widget on
  Contribution Pages so that one can customize the campaign widget with options
  such as  "Starts in X days".

- **Expose contribution page in Contribution Summary report
  ([dev/core#959](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/959):
  [14249](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14249))**

  Exposes the contribution page field in the "Contribution Summary" report.

- **Add developer tab for summary report
  ([14254](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14254))**

  Adds a developer tab to the "Contribution Summary" report.

- **Wrap titles in metadata in ts on payment.create API
  ([14450](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14450))**

  titles in the payment create API action.

- **Translation in billingblock.tpl - dropping 'Information'
  ([14358](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14358))**

  Improves translation of the billing block on front facing contribution and
  event forms by removing the word Information from the title.

## CiviEvent

- **WYSIWYG support for i18n event fields
  ([14384](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14384) and
  [14396](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14396))**

  ([14185](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/14185))**

  Improves error logging for Drupal users by passing the severity level to
  drupal watchdog. Before this change all errors passed from CiviCRM to
  drupal watchdog were logged at the debug level now errors, warnings, notices,
  info, etc. can be logged as such.
