The mailing list contact form is clearer and easier to use. Users can now choose tag colors directly, while bounce counts and creation dates are handled more cleanly when creating new contacts.
Original PR description
This PR will improve the form view of 'Mailing List Contacts'. It will:
- Add a color picker on the tag ('tag_ids').
- Make the bouncing counter ('message_bounce') unmodifiable.
- Make the creation date ('create_date') and the bouncing counter ('message_bounce') invisible when the user creates a new record.

I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-prThe Email Marketing form now gives the email editor more room by removing nested panels and moving the discussion area into its own tab. Long emails are easier to edit because extra scrollbars were removed and the sidebar stays visible while scrolling.

RATIONALE Currently, editing a mail feels a little claustrophobic because of the boxes within boxes within boxes design. Purpose of this task is to improve layout of mailing form view when being in Email Marketing, notably displaying editor in full width. SPECIFICATIONS In this task we remove the chatter and the sheet from the form view so that the mail editor takes up more horizontal space. The chatter is then moved into one of the notebook's tabs. Mass mailing form view currently has a scrollbar for the contents of the editor: one for the form view itself and one for the sidebar. In consequence we sometimes end up with three scrollbars side by side, which is ugly and confusing. In this task we ensure the height of the iframe is always the same as its contents so there is no need for a scrollbar. Note that SMS Marketing is untouched as it keeps the old layout. Indeed there is no need of such changes as it does not use the HTML editor. Actions that are generic (systray, list view, ...) also use the old display.. LINKS Task-2545445
Event website pages now hide related 'other' sections when there is only one track, room, or exhibitor to show. This keeps smaller events such as online concerts or single-session conferences looking cleaner and avoids displaying unnecessary empty-looking sections.
Original PR description
…n there is a single item This commit hides "other" tracks/rooms and exhibitor sections if there is only a single record for these. Purpose is: Allow users to handle events that do not have a ton of things happening at the same time without showing empty sections. Example: I use Odoo events to broadcast my concert/zoom conference/... online and want my website to look neat.

The Settings screen now shows a more helpful empty-state message when a search returns no results. Instead of a plain “No record found” notice, users see clearer guidance to try another keyword, making the experience more polished and easier to understand.
Original PR description
PURPOSE Currently, empty screen of the settings is not very sexy without helper and decoration. it return only `no record found` message when the search for a setting does not return anything. SPECIFICATION after this PR replace the `No record found` message by an actual content helper with title `No setting found` and description `Try searching for another keyword`.

Odoo now supports certificate-based email server authentication and reduces sender spoofing when sending messages. This helps improve email deliverability, lowers the chance of messages being marked as spam, and gives administrators safer options for configuring mail relays such as Office 365.

Purpose
=======
The global purpose of this PR is to improve the score of the emails sent by
Odoo as well as allowing to authenticate the Odoo server with SSL certificate.
SSL authentication
==================
We want to be able to authenticate our servers with a certificate for the
entire domain name instead of using an username and a password. That way
we will be able to configure an SMTP relay (on Office 365 e.g.) based on an
SSL certificate instead of an hard-coded IP address.
The host name of the server is defined in the MX DNS record on your domain.
The certificate must be valid for your domain name.
e.g.
> Host: openerp-org.mail.protection.outlook.com
Port: 25
Username: \<keep it blank>
Password: \<keep it blank>
Security: STARTTLS
Email: admin@odoobe.com
No spoofing
===========
Before, we were spoofing the FROM headers all the times. E.g., if someone has
an email address outside of the current email server (e.g. `test@gmail.com`)
we sent it using the default mail server and we spoofed the FROM. This causes
some issues, because emails may be marked as spam by the email clients. A
small fix for stable was merged at odoo/odoo#69218 and will be reverted as this merge
improves that behavior.
Now, we try to *not* spoof the mail from in the SMTP protocol. For that purpose
we define a default email address which is used when no mail server is
available for the sender email address. In that case, the email address
of the sender will be "encapsulated" in the default email address
(e.g. `"Admin (admin@gmail.com)" <notifications@odoo.com>`).
To know for which email address an outgoing mail server can be used, we use a
field "`from_filter`" which can be either an complete email address or a
domain name.
The headers are changed following this heuristic
1. We first look for a mail server which match the entire mail FROM
in that case, we do not change the email header (not needed)
2. If not found, we search a mail server which match the domain name of
the mail from (do not need to change the headers in that case)
3. If not found, find the mail server linked to the "notifications"
email (defined in the system parameter). Then change the FROM header
to the notifications email, and put the old one in the name part of
this header.
e.g.
Initial mail from: "Admin" < admin@example.com >
Final mail from: "Admin (admin@odoo.com)" < notifications@odoo.com >
4. If no notifications email is configured or if no mail server are
found for the notifications email, fallback to the old system and
spoof the FROM header. In that case we do not have the choice if we
want to send the email, he will probably be marked as spam.

Task-2367946CRM now uses probability as an additional factor when choosing the most confident lead or opportunity during merges. This helps sales teams keep the opportunity that is more likely to close when duplicate records are combined.
Original PR description
Purpose Improve the Confidence level sorting for lead/opportunities Specifications 1) Confidence level (from feedback 2176733) Current : When merging opportunities. They are sorted by "confidence level", which is basically * opp > lead * stage sequence higher is better * older ID is better* To Be => Include the probability as the third criterion taken into account. The higher the probability, the better. LINKS PR: #51893 Task-id: 2198562
Odoo now turns multi-currency access on automatically when more than one currency is active, and turns it off when only one currency remains active. This reduces manual configuration for businesses using multiple currencies and updates currency display data such as symbols and symbol placement.

Accounting and invoice extraction tests were adjusted to match the system's automatic activation of multi-currency support. This keeps reporting and invoice processing checks aligned with current behavior, while removing a duplicate eBay sales configuration action.
