New functionality added to Odoo
Website editors can now add a ready-made FAQ section where answers expand and collapse. This makes it easier to present common customer questions in a compact, polished format without custom development.
Enhancements to existing features
CRM opportunities now support defined next actions so sales teams can plan and track follow-ups more consistently. Completed actions are logged in the chatter as internal notes, and reporting gains a next-action measure and favorite filter for better pipeline follow-up visibility.

This fixes a data import issue that prevented Pentaho Kettle from creating new records in Odoo when it sent a placeholder ID value of zero. Businesses using Pentaho Kettle for data loading can now continue imports without errors caused by new-record identifiers.
Original PR description
Pentaho Kettle ships with "output steps" to lodd data into OpenERP/Odoo. A `.id` data column is always sent, but sisnce XMLRPC does not support `None` values, for the new records a zero is sent. This doesn't work with v8 since the server looks up for the zero `id` record, doesn't find it, and returns an error, making the OpenERP Output unusable. v7 initially featured the same problem and it was fixed.
The account follow-up configuration screen could fail during installation because it depended on a setting that was removed elsewhere. This update moves the needed installation option into the account extension area and links the configuration view to that option, allowing the module to install correctly.
Original PR description
Account Configuration view in account_reports_followup module depends on part of the view that's been removed in odoo community, and raises an error at install. This fixes the issue by adding the module installation option in account_extension module and make the xpath depend on that field @qdp-odoo @pvy-odoo
This fixes a broken company settings view related to accounting reports. Users should now see the intended overdue payments section or fields correctly when managing company accounting settings.
Original PR description
@qdp-odoo Can you confirm that this is the right way to fix the view? It's been broken since we can't base the selector on the string attribute. Also, I didn't find any page with string="Overdue Payments" so I thought that you intended to add the page instead of adding fields in it cc @rco-odoo
Features or functions removed from Odoo
This change removes several escalation and delegation options from CRM leads, helpdesk records, project tasks, and project issues. It simplifies workflows by eliminating older handoff mechanisms that could create extra configuration and process complexity.

Code cleanup and technical improvements
This update tidies the Google Calendar integration by removing old commented code and reorganizing existing logic. It should not change how users work, but it makes the module easier to maintain and safer to update in the future.
