Sponsored by Athens County Public Libraries
36767 Add a hint to the EDI account form that the SFTP/FTP port will fallback to port 22 if not defined

This fixes an error when creating an EDI account if you don’t enter the upload and download ports. The port numbers should have defaulted to port 22, but didn’t – this generated an error when saving. It also adds a hint for the input fields to say that the port will default to 22 if not set.
37081 Add order confusing when ordering from a staged file

Fixes confusing terminology when staging or adding a new file to a basket in the acquisitions module.
37109 Don’t provide old claims fields when duplicating acquisitions orders

This patch stops the unused fields claims_count, claimed_date, received_on and placed_on from being initialised while duplicating an order. The fields no longer exist in the aqorders table and no longer need to be set or passed on.

Sponsored by PTFS Europe
36054 Don’t mark MARC21 005 as mandatory in frameworks now that AddBiblio and ModBibilio will set it no matter what

This change makes the 005 tag in MARC bibliographic frameworks no longer mandatory, because every time a bibliographic record is added or modified, Koha will set the content of 005 to the current time. Existing installations are not affected by this change, but should feel free to make the same change to their installed frameworks.
36496 Inventory results table needs an export option

This enhancement adds the CSV export options to the inventory results screen. Previously the CSV export had to be selected before running inventory.

This enhancement to item groups allows you to set the order for item groups created when adding a new item. To do this:
1. Scroll down to the ‘Add to item group section’ at the bottom of the add item form.
2. For the options field, select ‘Create new item group’.
3. Add a new group name.
4. Add a number to the new ‘Display order’ field to set the order.

Enhancements

14180 Make “Always show checkouts immediately” a global setting

This enhancement adds the ability for libraries to have checkouts always show immediately. To turn on this new feature, set the new system preference ‘AlwaysLoadCheckoutsTable’ to ‘do. If you find that checkouts are slow do load, you can add a delay to the table so the rest of the page can load and checkouts can proceed using the new system preference ‘LoadCheckoutsTableDelay’.

Sponsored by ByWater Solutions
14787 Allow confirm/continue option to circulation warnings at checkout

This patch adds functionality that will remember whether an action has been confirmed for a particular patron for the session. While carrying out an action on that patron, if the same checkout confirmation message keeps appearing the user can now select to remember their confirmation while they are still working on that patron. When the user moves onto a new patron the confirmations then reset and accumulate again for the new patron.

- Return recalled item (new notice – RETURN_RECALLED_ITEM)
Sponsored by Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, New Zealand
27919 Split claims return from LOST

This changes the behavior of the ‘claims returned’ feature to no longer depend on a specific lost status of the item. If the item was set to a lost status before being marked as ‘claims returned’ the existing status will be kept. It’s also possible to update items to a different lost status after claiming it returned.

Sponsored by ByWater Solutions and PTFS Europe and Cuyahoga County Public Library
28924 Allow checkout fine limit to be determined by patron category
This allows to set charge limits for checkouts by patron category. If the patron category level option is not used, the global system preferences will be used instead.

The new options available are:

34440 Add warm-up and cool-down periods to bookings

This enhancement to the recently added bookings functionality allows libraries to define a lead-in and trail-out period to be prepended and appended to bookings.

These periods prevent checkouts or bookings from taking place too close to each other and allow for things like transfers and maintenance to be carried out.

Sponsored by Cuyahoga County Public Library
35906 Add bookable option on itemtypes

This allows to configure on item type level if an item is bookable or not. The item type level setting can be overwritten on item level.
35931 Pre-select items with due date today in the renew column on details page and on checkout page

This enhancement selects items that are due today on the patron checkout and details screens, allowing librarians to renew items due today without additional clicks. This mirrors the behavior for overdue items on the same pages.

Sponsored by Koha-Suomi Oy
37126 Provide link to patron account when checking out to statistical patron ends checkout

This enhancement links the patron details in the message displayed when checking out an item to a statistical patron, where that item is already checked out to another patron. Previously, the patron details in the message did not link to the patron. This now makes it easier for staff to check the patron’s details, for example, to check for any incorrect charges.
37204 Add a booking has changed notice to update a patron should a booking be updated

This enhancement introduces a notice to inform patrons of changes to their bookings, such as updates to the pickup library, start date, or end date, ensuring clear communication regarding any modifications.

37354 Bookings should respect circulation rules for max loan periods

This enhancement builds on the bookings functionality added in the last cycle. We now prevent a booking from exceeding the maximum period laid out by the circulation rules for that item.

We highlight the loan period and renewal periods in the bookings calendar upon selection of the booking start date and disallow bookings that exceed the loan period + renewal period * max renewals rules.

Command-line Utilities

Enhancements

9596 Allow longoverdue.pl to be configured per library on the command line

This patch adds –library and –skip-library options to the misc/cronjob/longoverdue.pl script. This enables setting the rules differently for each library when running the script on the command line and as a cron job.
29507 Speed up auto renew cronjob via parallel processing

This enhancement enables using parallel processing to speed up the running of the automatic renewals cron job (misc/cronjobs/automatic_renewals.pl). This cron job can take hours to run for libraries with thousands of items to renew.To use this enhancement, add this setting to the instance’s koha-conf.xml – adjusting the value depending on the system resources available:1
36766 Add command-line utility to SFTP a file to a remote server
This enhancement adds a new command line utility misc/cronjobs/sftp_file.pl that allows libraries to securely transfer MARC data to an SFTP server.

Example usage: misc/cronjobs/sftp_file.pl –host sftp –user koha –pass koha –upload_dir upload –file /tmp/test.mrc

Additional information:
1. Use misc/cronjobs/sftp_file.pl –help to list all the options available.
2. Two new notices are available: SFTP_FAILURE and SFTP_SUCCESSFUL.
3. The from address for any emails defaults to KohaAdminEmailAddress if ReplytoDefault is not set.
Example of usage and workflow

In New Zealand, libraries need to send MARC files to a remote server (using SFTP) to keep the national Te Puna union catalogue up to date.

This enhancement allows NZ libraries to automate sending their MARC files by:
1. Using the runreport.pl cronjob to generate a list of bibliographic numbers.
2. Using the export_records.pl cronjob to generate the MARC file for those bibliographic numbers.
3. Use a new sftp_file cronjob to transfer the MARC file to the remote SFTP server.

Course reserves

Enhancements

35978 Extend breadcrumbs course reserves with sections

This enhancement adds the course section field into the breadcrumb for course reserves. This makes it easier to distinguish where you are.

Database

Enhancements

31143 We should attempt to fix/identify all cases where ‘0000-00-00’ may still remain in the database
This enhancement:
1. Updates the misc/maintenance/search_for_data_inconsistencies.pl script so that it identifies any date fields that have 0000-00-00 values.
2. Adds a new script misc/maintenance/fix_invalid_dates.pl that fixes any date fields that have ‘0000-00-00’ values (for example: dateofbirth) by updating them to ‘NULL’.
Patron, item, and other date fields with a value of ‘000-00-00’ can cause errors. This includes:
– API errors
– stopping the patron autocomplete search working
– generating a 500 internal server error:
. for normal patron searching

This enhancement changes the form labels and error message for the manual invoice and credit forms for patrons (in the accounting section). This is to clarify that this field is for an item barcode, and not a patron card number barcode.

Hold requests

Enhancements

28833 Speed up holds queue builder via parallel processing

This enhancement adds the ability to increase the amount of parallel calculations used to create the Holds Queue. The amount of calculations or “loops” done in parallel is set in the new system preference ‘HoldsQueueParallelLoopsCount’. This enhancement will allow faster holds queue building for libraries with a very large amount of holds. Note that increasing the value in the system preference also causes Koha to use more resources when building the holds queue.
29079 Make bibliographic information in holds queue customizable

This enhancement adds two new columns to the holds queue table – Author and Publication details. It removes this information from the title column. Libraries can use table settings to hide this information, for example, if you only want to show the title in the holds queue.
30411 Add separate shelving location column to holds queue

Adds shelving location as its own column in the holds queue. This makes it easier to sort the holds queue by shelving location.
36064 Add information about holds with cancellation requests to staff start page

This enhancement adds a “Holds with cancellation requests: X” link to the staff interface home page. This makes it more visible to librarians that patrons have made cancellation requests, and action them (where patrons have the ability to cancel holds).
36595 Add patron email to the holds queue table

This enhancement adds a patron’s email address (when it exists) to the patron column for the holds queue table (Circulation > Holds and bookings > Holds queue). (This requires setting the HidePatronName system preference to ‘Show’.)

I18N/L10N

Enhancements

37781 Add translation context for “On” (when used alone)

This enhancement adds translation context to the word “On” when it is used alone. In the item search page, it means “on a specific date”, and on the SMTP server administration page, it means “on” as in “not off”. The translation context separates the two strings so that they can be translated individually.

ILL

New features

35570 Add a generic master form in ILL

This incorporates the ILL backend previously known as “FreeForm” (https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/koha-ill-freeform) into core Koha, now labeled as “Standard”.
This allows the ILL module to be used as soon as the ILLModule system preference is enabled, without the need to install additional third-party backends, although the option to do so still exists.
Upon upgrading, all prior “FreeForm” ILL requests, attributes, and comments will be transferred to the new “Standard” backend.

Enhancements

36118 ILL request log does not display patron information

With the IllLog system preference enabled, the actions logged for each ILL request lacked details about which patron user performed the action. This enhancement addresses this.

Sponsored by PTFS Europe and UKHSA – UK Health Security Agency
36221 Improve styling of Standard backend create OPAC form

This makes various improvements to the ILL request form in the OPAC to make it more consistent with the other forms in Koha. This includes fixes to the styling of required fields, terminology and translations.

Installation and upgrade (command-line installer)

Enhancements

34088 Schema upgrade should short circuit faster if no upgrade needs to be done

This change makes koha-schema-upgrade use an optimized check if a database upgrade is needed before attempting the usual slower upgrade process. This makes Koha upgrades, which don’t need database updates, much faster.

Lists

Enhancements

30955 Send a notice to new owner when transferring shared list

This enhancement adds a new notice, TRANSFER_OWNERSHIP, under a new module, Lists. When a list is transferred to a new owner, this notice is triggered, containing a short paragraph detailing the list name.
37177 “item” should be “record” in list page

This patch corrects some areas in the lists and carts so that the term ‘record’ is used instead of ‘item’ when referring to a bibliographic record.

MARC Authority data support

Enhancements

35305 Add XSLT for authority details page in staff interface

This enhancement enables using custom XSLT stylesheets to display authority detail pages in the staff interface.

Enter a path to the custom XSLT file in the new system preference AuthorityXSLTDetailsDisplay (or use an external URL). Use placeholders for multiple custom style sheets for different languages ({langcode}) and authority types ({authtypecode}).

(Note: This ability is already available for the OPAC. It was added by bug 21330 to Koha 23.05 and 22.11.07).
36603 UNIMARC: automatically copy the ISNI number over when linking authorities with authorities

This enables the automatic copying over of authority subfield 010$a [aka INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NAME IDENTIFIER (ISNI)] into the corresponding 5xx$o subfield when linking authorities with other authorities in UNIMARC instances.

Now the placeholder is right-aligned and italic in order to distinguish it from regular text, while keeping a color which has accessible contrast.
37046 Use template wrapper for OPAC curbside pickup tabs

This enhancement makes structural changes to the way the OPAC curbside pickups page is generated for more consistency and ease of upgrade to new Bootstrap versions.

37391 QR code for bibliographic record in OPAC should use canonical link

This patch updates QR code creation from a bibliographic record in the OPAC to use the canonical version of the URL to the bibliographic record, making the shared URL much shorter and the created QR code less complicated. Note that the system preference OPACDetailQRCode must be set to ‘Enable’ in order to show the QR code in the bibliographic record’s detail page in the OPAC.
37412 Style placeholder text in the OPAC

This enhancement adds a custom style to the placeholder text shown in the OPAC’s main search bar when it is empty. Previously the placeholder text color was very close to the color of user-entered text, making it difficult to distinguish the state of the form. Rather than adjusting the color of the placeholder text in a way that makes the contrast unacceptable, this changes the text to right-aligned italic text.

37972 Allow selection of tab in patron’s summary table by query param

This enhancement adds the ability to direct links to specific tabs of the OPAC patron summary with the following syntax:
/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl?tab=opac-user-holds

Patrons

New features

28633 Add a preferred name field to patrons
This new feature adds a new “Preferred name” field to patron information. This is visible in staff and OPAC patron forms by default.

Notes:
1. The “Preferred name” field takes precedence, and is displayed where patron names are displayed throughout Koha.
2. If the “Preferred name” field has no value, or it is hidden, the first name is displayed.
3. Notices: Use of ‘firstname’ in notices and other templates will continue to display the first name. Use ‘preferred_name’ to display the patron’s preferred name.
4. Hiding fields: When hiding the preferred name field, hide it in all interfaces to avoid any discrepancies or confusion (BorrowerUnwantedField, PatronSelfModificationBorrowerUnwantedField, PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerUnwantedField, PatronSelfModificationMandatoryField, PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField).
5. Patron autocomplete: Add or remove fields to search using the DefaultPatronSearchFields system preference – if your current installation uses firstname, then this should automatically be updated to include preferred_name (and is in the default settings for new installations).

Enhancements

23486 TrackLastPatronActivityTriggers should have an option for patron creation

This enhancement adds ‘Creating a patron’ as an option to the TrackLastPatronActivityTriggers system preference (for updating the last seen date). Previously, creating a patron was not an option for updating the last seen date – this could understate reports about active patrons.

This enhancement adds a new /circulation_rules endpoint to the API’s to allow fetching of circulation rules.It requires item_type, patron_category and library as parameters and accepts an options ‘rules’ parameter to allow listing only rules that are of interest.
37253 Enhance POST /checkouts endpoint to accept barcode or item_id

The enhancement adds the ability to accept the barcode for a checkout via the API. If the origin only had access to the barcode and not the itemnumber a second API call was previously required to perform a checkout with only the barcode.
37686 render_resource_not_found() and render_resource_deleted() misses

This development finished the code cleanup we implemented on bug 36495, by performing the same code changes in new code that was added in between and some misses too.

37850 branchillemail missing from public libraries REST endpoint

This enhancement adds the library’s e-mail address for interlibrary loans to the following public REST API endpoint’s response:/api/v1/public/libraries
37902 Timezone ignored when passing rfc3339 formatted date (search ‘q’)

RFC3339 formatted dates are not correctly taken into account when passed to an attribute via the ‘q’ parameter

Reports

Enhancements

32413 JSON reports shows inaccurate results with repeated parameters

When creating a reports with runtime parameters that use the same description, the form in Koha would present only one input field for them, but the JSON API required to send the value multiple times for each occurrence of the runtime parameter. This makes the behavior in Koha and the JSON API match in that the parameter needs to be only sent once.

Important: Scripts using the JSON feature with repeatable parameters before this change will need to be adapted.

37188 Batch patron modification from report results should be an option when borrowernumber is selected

Some libraries do not use card numbers for their patrons, but would still like to be able to batch modify patrons from reports. This will makes it so that adding the borrowernumber to a report will also allow to trigger batch patron modifications.
37508 SQL reports should not show patron password hash if queried

This enhancement on reports module prevents SQL queries from being run if they would return a password field from the database table.

SIP2

Enhancements

18317 Allow check out of already checked out items through SIP

This enhancement allows checkouts of items already checked out to someone else when using SIP2. This is enabled using the new system preference AllowItemsOnLoanCheckoutSIP.

Example use case: Patron A has checked out a book and tried to return it, but for some reason it hasn’t been properly checked in – but it was re-shelved anyway. Patron B wants to borrow this book from an unstaffed library, but the self-checkout blocks them because the book is still checked out to Patron A.
37087 Add support for TCP keepalive to SIP server

This change adds 3 new configuration options to the SIPconfig.xml. These are custom_tcp_keepalive, custom_tcp_keepalive_time, and custom_tcp_keepalive_intvl. Usage is documented in C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm. They are used to control TCP keepalives for the SIP server. Configuration of these parameters is essential for running a SIP server in Microsoft Azure.

Searching

Enhancements

14322 Add option to create a shareable link for item searches

This enhancement adds a ‘Copy shareable link’ button to item search results in the staff interface. Previously, the only way to share a search with colleagues was by detailing all the search parameters – and they would then need to manually add these to the item search form.

Sponsored by Education Services Australia SCIS
36727 Add incorrect ISSN to Elasticsearch index mappings
This enhancement makes changes to International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) related index mapping when using Elasticsearch or Open Search.

A new issn-all search field enables finding all records with any ISSN related to that content. For example, you are able to find the online and paper version of a serial with one search.

The issn search field remains a precise search – you get the exact record with the ISSN in 022$a (MARC21) or 011$a (UNIMARC).

MARC21:
- Adds these subfields to the new issn-all search field:
  . 022$a (International Standard Serial Number)
  . 022$y (Incorrect ISSN)
  . 022$z (Canceled ISSN)
  . 023$a (Cluster ISSN)
  . 023$y (Incorrect Cluster ISSN)
  . 023$z (Canceled Cluster ISSN)
- Adds 022$y, 022$z, 023$a, 023$y, and 023$z to the identifier-standard search field
UNIMARC:
- Adds these subfields to the new issn-all search field:
  . 011$a (Number (ISSN)
  . 011$y (Cancelled ISSN)
  . 011$z (Erroneous ISSN or ISSN-L)
- Removes 011$y and 011$z from the issn search field
These changes will only take effect for existing installations if the index mappings are reset (caution: existing customizations are lost) and records are re-indexed.

Staff interface

New features

33484 Ability to remember user’s selected table configuration and search filters for tables
This new feature adds two new options to the table settings.
When enabled the state of the table, meaning the column selection and search filters, will be restored to what as formerly set by the user.
- “Save configuration state on page change”: save the column visibility, length of the table and order in session.
- “Save search state on page change”: save the search and filtering in session.
Please note: When you hide columns permanently using the settings on the table configuration page in the administration module, it will require users to log out/log in again for the change to take effect.

Additionally a new button “Copy shareable link” is added to the tables. It will copy a link with the current state of the table into the clipboard, so you can save it as a bookmark or share it with someone else.

Bugfixes

This list includes all bugfixes since the previous major version. Most of them
have already been fixed in maintenance releases

Critical bugs fixed

34444 Statistic 1/2 not saving when updating fund after receipt (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)
36995 Can’t delete library EAN (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the Library EANs page so that EANs can be deleted. After the CSRF update in 24.05 (bug 34478), the ‘Delete’ action for an EAN no longer worked as it should.
37089 Cannot delete a fund or a currency (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the acquisitions funds and currencies pages so that they can be deleted. After the CSRF changes in 24.05 to improve form security, the ‘Delete’ actions no longer worked. The deletion confirmation message was displayed with ” for the name and no values for the fund or currency, then didn’t delete them.
37090 Cannot delete an EDI account (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the EDI accounts page (Acquisitions > Administration (when EDIFACT is enabled)) so that accounts can be deleted. After the CSRF changes in 24.05 to improve form security, the ‘Delete’ action for an EDI account no longer worked.
37316 Cannot add items to basket via file if barcodes not supplied (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes an error when using order files from a vendor to stage and add records with items to a basket. If barcodes are not specified for the items (either from the file or manually), this caused an error when saving. Order files without barcodes can now be used.
37377 Orders search is not returning any results (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the orders search in Acquisitions – clicking the search button was doing nothing and not returning any results. (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)
37533 Invalid query when receiving an order (24.11.00,24.05.03,23.11.08,23.05.14)
38183 Can’t set suggestion manager when there are multiple tabs (24.11.00,24.05.05)

36598 Add CSRF protection to Mojolicious apps (24.11.00,24.05.04)
36736 Add ability to load DBIx::Class Schema files found in plugins (24.11.00)
36863 CSRF Plack middleware doesn’t handle the CONNECT HTTP method (24.11.00,24.05.02)
36875 SQL injection in additional content pages (24.11.00,24.05.01,23.11.06)
37040 ErrorDocument accidentally setting off CSRF (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This improves the mechanism for preventing the activation of CSRF middleware by ErrorDocument subrequests. For example, a properly formatted 403 error page is now displayed instead of a plain text error. (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)
37056 CSRF error on login when user js contains a fetch of svc/report (24.11.00,24.05.06)
37152 Delete-confirm should not start with ‘cud-‘ (24.11.00,24.05.02)
This fixes the delete actions in these areas so that they now work as they should:
- Acquisitions:
  . Contracts – couldn’t delete a contract (no confirmation message, didn’t delete) (Acquisitions > search for a vendor > Contracts > Delete > Yes, delete contract)
  . Baskets – could still delete a basket (so no change in behavour), however it wasn’t using the correct code to do this (Acquisitions > search for a vendor > select a basket > Delete basket)
- MARC bibliographic frameworks and authority types: couldn’t delete tags – the confirmation message didn’t have the tag description, and didn’t delete (there was no error message, it just didn’t delete the tag) (Administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic framework OR Authority types > Actions > MARC structure > [choose a tag] > Actions > Delete)
- Patron categories: when attempting to delete a patron category that was still in use – it generated an error message, instead of a warning that it was still in use (and didn’t delete the category) (Administration > Patron categories > Delete > [Warning that can’t delete if in use OR Confirm deletion])
- Purchase suggestions in a patron’s OPAC account: could still delete a purchase suggestion (so no change in behavour), however it wasn’t using the correct code to do this (OPAC > Your account > Purchase suggestions > select suggestoon > Delete selected)
(These fixes are related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)
37260 Problem with connection to broker not displayed on the about page (24.11.00,24.05.04)
37371 Direct input of dates not working when editing only part of a date (24.11.00,24.05.04)
37464 Remote Code Execution in barcode function leads to reverse shell (24.11.00,24.05.03,23.11.08,23.05.14,22.11.20)
37509 Elasticsearch status info missing from ‘Server information’ (24.11.00,24.05.04)

This fixes the About Koha > Server information page so that it now shows information about Elasticsearch. Before this, it was empty.
37741 Koha errors on page (e.g. 404) cause incorrect CSRF errors (24.11.00,24.05.06)

This change prevents an error in a background call (e.g. a missing favicon.ico) from affecting the user’s session, which can lead to incorrect CSRF 403 errors during form POSTs. (The issue is prevented by stopping error pages from returning the CGISESSID cookie, which overwrites the CGISESSID cookie returned by the foreground page.)

36474 updatetotalissues.pl should not modify the record when the total issues has not changed (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.10)

This updates the misc/cronjobs/update_totalissues.pl script so that records are only modified if the number of issues changes. Previously, every record was modified – even if the number of issues did not change.

In addition, with CataloguingLog enabled, this previously added one entry to the log viewer for every record – as all the records were modified even if the number of issues did not change. Now, only records where the number of issues have changed are included in the log viewer, significantly reducing the number of entries.
36594 Library hours display issues (24.11.00)
This fixes the display of library hours in the staff interface (Administration > Basic parameters > Libraries):
This patch corrects the following issues related to the display of library
- Newly created or edited libraries no longer display ‘null’ for undefined open and close times.
- Libraries without any defined hours will state such instead of displaying the hours table.
- The CalendarFirstDayOfWeek system preferences is now respected when viewing a library with defined hours.
- Time displays and inputs now follow the TimeFormat system preference.
- Times are no longer displayed with seconds.
- A TT filter, KohaTimes, has been added to handle proper formatting of time strings based on systems preferences.

25387 Merging different authority types creates no warning (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)

- When merging authority records of different types: the authority type is now displayed in the tab heading, and a warning is also displayed “Multiple authority types are used. There may be a data loss while merging.”.
Previously, no warning was given when merging authority records with different types – this could result in undesirable outcomes, data loss, and extra work required to clean up.

- - improving the help for the usage and options (it should now be easier to understand how to use the script)
  - only showing the usage summary when the wrong options are used (unknown option, no filter options, or no --confirm or --verbose)
  - clarifying the help for the --verbose and --confirm options (--verbose is required if --confirm is not used)
  - showing an error message when no filter options are used, and when no --confirm or --verbose option is used the --category-code option requires another filter option

Currently, Koha displays “Click here to access online” if any 856 subfield is present, using the $u subfield as the link target, even if $u is empty. This patch makes the display of the online resource link depend on the presence of 856$u to prevent empty links.

This fixes the default AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST notice so that items where it is too soon to renew aren’t included in the notice output to patrons when the automatic renewals cron job is run (based on the circulation rules settings). These items were previously included in the notice.
NOTE: This notice is only updated for new installations. Existing installations should update this notice if they only want to show the actual items automatically renewed.
37036 Cannot access template toolkit branch variable in auto renewal notices (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

Examples of use: [% branch.branchcode %], [% branch.branchname %], [% branch.branchaddress1 %], [% IF branch.branchaddress2 %][% branch.branchaddress2 %][% END %], [% branch.branchcity %], [% branch.branchstate %], [% branch.branchzip %].

This fixes item type facets in OPAC search results when using OpacHiddenItems. Facet values in OpacHiddenItems are now filtered out and no longer displayed.For example, to hide Map item types (item type code = MP) in the OPAC:
– add “itype: [‘MP’]” to OpacHiddenItems
– previously, map items would not be displayed in the search results, but the ‘Item type’ facet under ‘Refine your search’ would still display the ‘Maps’ value
– now, the item type facet no longer displays the ‘Maps’ value

This fixes patron club enrollment to prevent patrons from enrolling multiple times in the same club. There was no visible option in a patron’s OPAC account to do this (Summary > Clubs), but it could be achieved by directly accessing the URL (/cgi-bin/koha/svc/club/enroll?id={clubid}).
36166 Disable select to add to list if opacuserlogin is disabled (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the OPAC search results header to remove the “Add to list” option when system preference opacuserlogin is set to “Don’t allow”. Previously, if you clicked on Add to list > New list, you would get a message saying you needed to be logged in – but you can’t.
36207 Update browser alerts to modals: OPAC tags (24.11.00,24.05.02)

36948 Adjust SIPconfig for log_file and IP version (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes issues with logging and default ports in the SIP configuration for Debian 12, when using the koha-testing-docker (KTD) development environment – these issues were causing the SIP service to stop working. Changes include updating the SIPconfig.xml template to:
– fix the logging issue (Debian 12 uses journal instead of syslog, use chomp for SIP log4perl configuration, log all SIP issues to sip.log by default)
– fix the port issue (allows using IPv4 and IPv6 for the port settings, configures the default template to use IPv4)

35792 Quiet warning: Use of uninitialized value $sub6 (24.11.00,24.05.04)

This removes a warning message[1] that appears in the reindexing output when using Elasticsearch. The warning was generated if there was no value in 880$6 (880 = Alternate Graphic Representation, $6 = Linkage), but there were other 880 subfields with a value, for example 880$a.

[1] Use of uninitialized value $sub6 in pattern match (m//) at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/SearchEngine/Elasticsearch.pm line 619.
36879 Spurious warnings in QueryBuilder (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.09,23.05.15)

This fixes the cause of a warning message in the log files. Changing the sort order for search results in the staff interface (for example, from Relevance to Author (A-Z)) would generate an unnecessary warning message in plack-intranet-error.log: [WARN] Use of uninitialized value $f in hash element at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/SearchEngine/Elasticsearch/QueryBuilder.pm line 72 5.
36982 Collections facet does not get alphabetized based on collection descriptions (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the display of the ‘Collections’ facet for search results in the staff interface and OPAC when using Elasticsearch and Open Search. Values for the facet are now sorted alphabetically using the CCODE authorized values’ descriptions, instead of the authorized values’ codes.

35869 Dismissing an OPAC message from SCO logs the user out (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This removes the “Dismiss” button for patron messages that appear in the OPAC self-checkout system. Dismissing messages was logging patrons out. This option was removed, as fixing this would require significant changes to the self-checkout system. Patron’s can still dismiss messages from their OPAC account (Your account > Summary > Messages for you > Dismiss).
36679 Anonymous patron is not blocked from checkout via self check (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the web-based self-checkout system to prevent the AnonymousPatron from checking out items.
37026 Switching tabs in the sco_main page ( Checkouts, Holds, Charges ) creates a JS error (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes a JavaScript error (dataTables is not defined) when switching between the checkouts, holds, and charges tabs in the OPAC self-checkout system.
37027 Some dataTable controls in SCO seem unnecessary (24.11.00,24.05.06)
37044 OPAC message from SCO missing library branch (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)

This fixes the self checkout “Messages for you” section for a patron so that any OPAC messages added by library staff now include the library name. Previously, “Written on DD/MM/YYYY by ” was displayed after the message without including the library name.

31921 No confirmation alert when deleting a vendor (24.11.00,24.05.04)

This fixes deleting vendors in acquisitions. There is now a new confirmation pop-up dialogue box.
33453 Confirmation button for ‘Record cashup’ should be yellow (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.09)

This fixes the style of the “Confirm” button in the pop-up window when recording a cashup (Tools > Transaction history for > Record cashup). The button was changed from the default button style (with a white background) to the yellow primary action button.
33455 Heading on ‘update password’ page is too big (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.09)

This fixes the heading for the patron change password page in the staff interface (Patrons > search for a patron > Change password). It was previously part of the form area with the white background, when it should have been above it like other page headings.
33635 CSV export display broken diacritics in Excel (24.11.00)
36129 Check in “Hide all columns” doesn’t persist on item batch modification/deletion (24.11.00.24.05.04,23.11.09)

This fixes the item batch modification/deletion tool, so that if the “Hide all columns” checkbox is selected and then the page is reloaded, the checkbox is still shown as selected. Before this, the columns remained hidden as expected, but the checkbox wasn’t selected.

36182 Add vendor column to holdings table (24.11.00)

This adds a new columns ‘Source of acquisition’ (MARC21 952$e) to the holdings table in the staff detail page. If the field contains a valid vendor ID, it will display the name of the vendor. If the field contains text, the text will be displayed.
36930 Item search gives irrelevant results when using 2+ added filter criteria (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)

This fixes the item search so that it returns the correct results when two or more additional filters are used (such as publisher and publication date). It was working correctly with one filter, but was not using any filters if two or more were used in a query.
36966 Fix links for local cover images for items on staff detail page (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the local cover image links for items (staff interface record details holdings table > dropdown link for Edit > Upload image) by removing unnecessary parameters, fixing an invalid link, an uninitialised Template::Toolkit variable. This has no noticeable effect, but is important for avoiding future issues.
37029 ‘About Koha’ button on staff side homepage seems out of place among application buttons (24.11.00,24.05.04)
37065 Bookings tab should filter out expired bookings by default (24.11.00,24.05.06)

Editing a rule. 2. Clicked on Edit to change another rule. 3. Confirmed that you wanted to edit another rule. Depending on your rules, the values for the patron category or item type in the editing row may not have changed.
36672 Circulation rules are performing too many lookups (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This improves the performance of the circulation and rules page by reducing the number of lookups. This should improve the page loading times (including when editing and saving) when a library has many categories and item types.
36880 Record overlay rules are not validated on add or edit (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes the record overlay rules page so that a tag is now required when adding and editing a rule.

2. Using “Library hours” for the column and field name for library hours.
3. Adding a missing colon (:) for the “MARC organization code” field.
4. Spelling “information” in full for the previously labelled “OPAC info” field.
5. Updating the hint text for the IP, MARC organization code, and Public fields.

37910 Minor spacing issues in the catalog concerns page (24.11.00)
37912 Catalog concerns – Broken link under concern title (24.11.00)
37945 Links for system preferences subsections don’t work (24.11.00)

Sponsored by Chetco Community Public Library
38066 Pop-up window footers can block page content (24.11.00,24.05.06)

This fixes the display of some dialog boxes, such as the authority record search plugin when editing 100$a, so that the content at the bottom (such as search results) is not obscured by the footer navigation.

38380 Fix other instances of obsolete col-*-offset classes from templates (24.11.00)
34838 The ILL module and tests generate warnings (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the cause of several warnings generated by the tests for the inter-library loan (ILL) module.
36919 t/db_dependent/Koha/Object.t produces warnings (24.11.00,24.05.06)
36935 BackgroundJob/ImportKBARTFile.t generates warnings (24.11.00,24.05.06)
36936 api/v1/bookings.t generates warnings (24.11.00,24.05.06)
36937 api/v1/password_validation.t generates warnings (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)

This fixes the cause of a warning for the t/db_dependent/api/v1/password_validation.t tests (warning fixed: Use of uninitialized value $status in numeric eq (==)).
36938 Biblio.t generates warnings (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the cause of warnings generated by the bibliographic tests.
36944 Auth.t should not fail when AutoLocation is enabled (24.11.00,24.05.06)
36999 00-strict.t fails to find koha_perl_deps.pl (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the tests in t/db_dependent/00-strict.t. The tests were failing as a file (koha_perl_deps.pl) was moved and is no longer required for these tests.
37283 t/db_dependent/selenium/authentication.t is failing (24.11.00,24.05.06)
37289 t/db_dependent/api/v1/authorised_values.t is failing under specific circumstances (24.11.00,24.05.06)
37302 xt/api.t should fail if swagger-cli is missing (24.11.00,24.05.04)

This fixes the tests in xt/api.t. It was skipping tests if swagger-cli was missing, which meant that some tests weren’t being run when they should be. The tests now fail if swagger-cli isn’t found.It also adds swagger-cli 4.0.4+ to the devDependancies section of package.json.
37490 Add test to detect when yarn.lock is not updated (24.11.00,24.05.06)
37607 t/cypress/integration/ERM/DataProviders_spec.ts fails (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.09)
37620 Fix randomly failing tests for cypress/integration/InfiniteScrollSelect_spec.ts (24.11.00,24.05.04)
37623 t/db_dependent/Letters.t tests fails to consider EmailFieldPrimary system preference (24.11.00,24.05.04,23.11.10)Sponsored by Pymble Ladies’ College
37870 UI/Form/Builder/Item.t and Biblio.t are still failing randomly (cn_source sort) (24.11.00)
37898 All db dependent tests should run within a transaction (24.11.00)
37917 RecordSources_spec.ts is failing randomly (24.11.00)
37929 Cypress tests for agreements aren’t all running (24.11.00)
37963 Improve error handling and testing of ERM eUsage SUSHI (24.11.00)
38043 KohaTimes filter is missing tests (24.11.00)
38322 Wrong comment in t/db_dependent/api/v1/erm_users.t (24.11.00)
38418 SIP/Transaction.t fails if wrong dateformat set (24.11.00)
38501 Prevent failures of Koha/Booking.t when running tests on an updated database (24.11.00)
38513 Fix Biblio.t for Koha_Main_My8 test configuration (24.11.00)
38526 Auth_with_* tests fail randomly (24.11.00)
35100 Items assigned to StockRotation do not advance if a hold is triggered before the initial transfer (24.11.00)
36083 Not able to create customizable areas to intranet home pages that are library specific (24.11.00)
36128 Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Overdues.pm (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07)

This fixes the following error message when running the overdues check cronjob on a Koha system without defined overdue rules:

/etc/cron.daily/koha-common: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Overdues.pm line 686.
36132 Allow users to delete multiple patron lists at once on any page (24.11.00)

This fixes patron lists so that when there are more than 20 lists, the lists on the next pages can be deleted. Previously, you were only able to delete the lists on the first page.
37186 Cannot delete a rotating collection (24.11.00,24.05.04)
37243 Tag moderation actions should be in the last column (24.11.00,24.05.06)
Sponsored by Athens County Public Libraries
37326 Batch modification should decode barcodes when using a barcode file (24.11.00)
37522 Logging item modification should record the original version of the item (24.11.00)

Actions logs for changes to items now include the pre and post change item data in the database.

Sponsored by Ignatianum University in Cracow
37580 Unique holiday descriptions are not editable (24.11.00,24.05.06)
Sponsored by Westlake Porter Public Library
37730 Batch patron modification table horizontal scroll causes headers to mismatch (24.11.00,24.05.06)

This fixes the table for the batch patron modification” tool (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Batch patron modification). When you scrolled down the page so that table header rows are “sticky”, and then scrolled to the right, the table header columns were fixed instead of changing to match the column contents.
37779 Fix forms that POST without an op in tag moderation (24.11.00)
Sponsored by Chetco Community Public Library
37785 Remove dead code in tools/letter.tt that looks like a form that would POST without an op (24.11.00)
Sponsored by Chetco Community Public Library
37859 Tabs for record comments are in plain text (related to Bootstrap 5 update) (24.11.00)

This fixes the tab headings for patron comments (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Comments), so that they are now standard tabs instead of plain text links. (This is related to the OPAC and staff interface Bootstrap 5 upgrade in Koha 24.11.)
37965 Fix regression of convert_urls setting in TinyMCE which causes unexpected URL rewriting (24.11.00)
38266 Incorrect attribute disabled in patron batch modification (24.11.00)
38275 Unable to delete patron card creator images (24.11.00,24.05.06)

This fixes deleting images when using the patron card creator’s image manager. You could not delete images, and received an error message “WARNING: An unsupported operation was attempted. Please have your system administrator check the error log for details.” (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)
38428 Simplify listing of items on stock rotation page (24.11.00)
30715 Terminology: Logs should use staff interface and not intranet for the interface (24.11.00,24.05.02,23.11.07,23.05.15)

This fixes the log viewer so that ‘Staff interface’ is used instead of ‘Intranet’ for the filtering option and the value displayed in the log entries interface column.Note: This does not fix the underlying value recorded in the action_log table (these are added as ‘intranet’ to the interface column), or the values shown in CSV exports.
37182 ‘datetime’ field lost on pseudonymization (24.11.00,24.05.02)

This fixes a regression where the datetime field was lost when using the pseudonymization command line script added in Koha 24.05 (misc/maintenance/pseudonymize_statistics.pl, see bug 34611). It also adds new tests.
35442 Script migration_tools/build_oai_sets.pl is missing ORDER BY (24.11.00,24.05.06)
38131 ILS-DI documentation still shows renewals instead of renewals_count (24.11.00)
38233 ILS-DI GetRecords should filter out items hidden in OPAC and use OPAC MARCXML (24.11.00)

This updates the ILS-DI GetRecords service to use the OPAC version of the MARCXML and filter items based on their OPAC visibility. For example, if OpacHiddenItems includes “withdrawn: [1]” (hide items with a withdrawn status of 1) and hidelostitems is set to “Don’t show”, then an ILS_DI request for a record will not show items with a withdrawn status = 1 (Withdrawn). Previously, there was no way to hide hidden items from the ILS-DI request.

Notes from the Release Manager

Getting a release out is a big adventure, including some monsters and also big rewards. I’d like to give some special thanks to:

My employer BSZ and my coworkers for enabling me to do this in the first place and for a second time.
The RM assistants Jonathan, Martin and Tomás for their help and support.
Our Release Maintainers for their never-ending work of backporting.
The people of the Koha Community for all their contributions. This wouldn’t be possible without you.
The libraries using Koha, without you everything we do would be pointless.
Jenkins: we’ve been better this time around, but I’d really like if you were failing less randomly at times.
