The bank reconciliation account search now filters by account type instead of a broader internal grouping. This prevents unrelated other income and other expense accounts from appearing, helping users choose the correct account more easily.

This commit will change the current filter to use account type instead of internal_group to avoid including "other income" and "other expense"

VoIP contact search now handles names containing joined letters such as IJ, œ, or æ when converting them for keypad dialing. This makes it easier for users to find and call contacts with international or special-character names.

Expand ligatures (IJ, œ, æ...) to their constituent letters, so that they can be converted to T9.

Website-generated pages now apply image customization more consistently across all images, helping pages display with the intended appearance and attributes. The update also reduces processing work per page, which can improve generation performance.

Changes to allow simple images to be customized and have the right attributes setup on the html.
Also improved performance by doing a smaller amount of regex replacement per page.

This update adds missing checks to make sure the return period filter behaves correctly in financial reports. It helps reduce the risk of reporting inconsistencies when the return period matches a standard date filter.

Added missing tests for the return period filter.
Mainly testing the fallback to normal filter in case it is aligned to a normal date filter.

The VoIP softphone now includes a dedicated button to open the full recent call history directly from the call history area. Search is also more consistently available across softphone tabs, helping users find contacts, agenda items, and call records faster.

This commit introduces a new button in the softphone interface that allows users to expand their recent call history. The button is added next to the search bar and triggers an action to display the list of recent calls associated with the current user. This enhancement improves user experience by providing quick access to call history.

Users can now build a pivot table in a spreadsheet directly from an Odoo model, without first opening or relying on an existing pivot view. This makes spreadsheet analysis more flexible and available for models that do not have a predefined pivot view.

With this commit, we allow the user to create a pivot from an Odoo model,
without the need to go through a pivot view to insert it in odoo.
It allows to create a pivot even if there is no pivot view in the model.

It also improves test tools for SMS status reporting and supports broader marketing automation coverage, reducing the risk of regressions without changing end-user behavior.

Continuing some cleaning in various test classes to lessen setup and/or have it done in as few places as possible.

Improve some asserts tools.
