## <a name="bugs"></a>Bugs resolved

* **_CiviContribute_: PayPal status updates are mishandled in certain configurations ([dev/core#1931](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1931): [#18996](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18996))**

  This primarily impacts deployments which use WordPress short-codes or which do *not* use "Clean URLs". 

* **_Groups_: Cannot manually add contacts immediately after group creation ([dev/core#2178](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2178): [#18967](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18967))**
