Enhancements to existing features
The Gmail login setup help has been refreshed with updated instructions and screenshots. This makes it easier for administrators to configure Google sign-in correctly and reduces confusion during setup.

When a new company is created with a currency different from the existing company, Odoo now creates a matching default pricelist and links it to that company. This helps multi-company businesses sell in each company’s local currency without manual setup, and improves the currency activation step during company creation.

The partner form now lets users search the fiscal position field instead of choosing only from a fixed dropdown. This makes it easier for accounting users to find the right tax setup for a customer or vendor while keeping creation managed through accounting configuration.

Logged-in website visitors now see a “Participating” label on event pages and event lists when they are already registered. This helps prevent accidental duplicate sign-ups while still allowing users to register someone else, and related portal settings are now visible in general settings.

The contract revenue dashboard now lets users filter results by company, with the user's company selected by default. The filter stays hidden when there is only one company available, keeping the dashboard simple for single-company users.
Resolved issues and error corrections
Tags in kanban views now show the default color visibly, making records easier to identify at a glance. One unused color option has been made invisible to prevent confusing or unreadable tag displays.

The USPS delivery integration now uses the official “First-Class” naming so Odoo can correctly match selected services with USPS responses. This helps prevent incorrect shipping service detection for USPS First-Class options.
Original PR description
USPS uses "First-Class" instead of "First Class", so the matching between the field usps_service and the USPS response is not always correct.
Features or functions removed from Odoo
Odoo no longer stores the PayPal receiving email in company accounting settings. Businesses should manage PayPal payment details through the payment provider setup instead, reducing duplicate configuration.
