New features & Enhancements

About

Enhancements

  • 34783 Update list of ‘Contributing companies and institutions’ on about page

Accessibility

Enhancements

  • 38642 DataTables expand button has no label

    Sponsored by Athens County Public Libraries

  • 39434 The pages are missing semantic tags that identify the regions of the pages.

    This patch adds missing semantic HTML5 elements, such as <header> and <main>, to the OPAC page structure. These changes improve the accessibility and structural clarity of the OPAC by explicitly identifying key regions of each page.

  • 39677 Add the role presentation to the vertical divider in the navigation
    Accessibility improvement: Vertical dividers in the OPAC navigation now include role=”presentation” to ensure they are correctly identified as decorative elements. This provides clearer semantics for assistive technologies without affecting display or design.
  • 39706 Accessibility: Missing text alternative for the star rating.
  • 39982 Accessibility: The ‘Browse results’ menu does not have sufficient color contrast.
  • 40097 Text elements on the OPAC user pages don’t have sufficient color contrast.
  • 40330 Accessibility of the OPAC Labels

Acquisitions

Enhancements

  • 7132 Check for duplicates when creating a new record in acquisitions

    Acquisitions: duplicate check when ordering from an empty record

    When creating a new order via Acquisitions → New order (empty record), Koha now checks for existing bibliographic duplicates (using C4::Search::FindDuplicate). If a potential match is found, staff see the standard Duplicate warning screen with options to Use existing record, Create new anyway, or Cancel and return to the basket.
    This aligns the empty-record workflow with the existing duplicate checks used for external source imports and cataloging, reducing accidental duplicate bibs in the catalog.

  • 20253 Optionally use buyer’s purchase order number from EDIFACT quote in basket name

    Libraries can now configure EDI vendor accounts to use the buyer’s purchase order number from EDIFACT quote messages (RFF+ON segments) as the basket name instead of the EDIFACT filename, dramatically improving searchability and cross-referencing between Koha and vendor systems.

    For acquisitions staff:

    1. Go to Administration → Acquisitions → EDI accounts
    2. Edit a vendor EDI account
    3. Enable “Use purchase order numbers”
    4. Save the configuration

    After this:

    • Baskets created from EDIFACT quotes will use the purchase order number as the basket name
    • You can easily search for and identify baskets using the same reference numbers you use with vendors
    • The basket name field will be read-only (to preserve the purchase order number reference)
    • If duplicate purchase order numbers are detected, you’ll receive clear error messages preventing conflicts

    Technical workflow:

    Quote RFF+ON segment → Basket Name → Order BGM segment

    This follows EDIFACT specifications where the purchase order number from incoming quote messages should be used as the document message number in the BGM segment of outgoing ORDER messages.

  • 31632 Add ability to manually link orders to suggestions

    This enhancement allows library staff to link an order (in an unclosed basket, or a standing order) to an accepted suggestion.

    Sponsored by Pymble Ladies’ College

  • 34127 Allow to customize CSV export of basketgroup and add a ODS export

    It is now possible to export any basket to CSV, even the closed ones or those linked to a group.

  • 38208 Provide a link to ERM agreements and licenses from a vendor record
  • 38298 EDIFACT breadcrumbs need to be permissions based
    This fixes the breadcrumbs to EDI accounts, so that the ‘Administration’ breadcrumb link is not shown if the staff patron doesn’t have permission to access administration pages, but does have permission to manage EDIT accounts (Acquisitions > Administration > EDI accounts).

    What happens after this change:
    – Administration permissions: sees Administration > EDI accounts (no change)
    – Only Manage EDIFACT transmissions (edi_manage) permissions: sees Acquisitions > EDI accounts (previously Administration > EDI accounts was shown, but they couldn’t access the administration pages)

  • 38619 UNIMARC prices should also be extracted from 071d
    This enhancement imports the value in 071$d to the price field when adding an item to a basket using the “From a new file” option. Before this, it only imported the value from 010$d and 345$d.
  • 39468 EDI message status should be case insensitive
    Fix EDI message status display in acquisitions so matching is case-insensitive by converting edi_order.status to lowercase before comparison.

  • 40333 When EDIFACT is enabled, one should be able view the corresponding EDIFACT INVOICE message on the Koha Invoice page

    The invoice display page now includes a section showing information about the EDIFACT interchange file that was used to create the invoice, with the ability to view the raw EDIFACT message data.

    Previously, when troubleshooting EDIFACT invoices or verifying invoice data against the original EDIFACT message, staff had to navigate separately to the EDIFACT messages administration page and search for the corresponding message file. This enhancement provides direct access from the invoice page, improving workflow efficiency and traceability.

    Key features:

    • EDIFACT interchange information: Display of message type, transfer date, status, and filename directly on the invoice page
    • Raw message viewer: “View EDIFACT interchange” button opens a modal displaying the complete raw EDIFACT data
    • Error visibility: Any EDIFACT processing errors are displayed prominently on the invoice page in a warning box
    • Smart display: The EDIFACT section only appears when the EDIFACT system is enabled and the invoice has an associated message

    For acquisitions staff:

    When viewing an invoice that was created from an EDIFACT message, you’ll now see an “EDIFACT interchange” section after the vendor information. This section shows:

    • The interchange filename
    • Message type (e.g., INVOIC)
    • Transfer date and status
    • Any errors that occurred during processing
    • A button to view the complete raw EDIFACT data

    This enhancement is particularly useful for:

    • Troubleshooting invoice discrepancies
    • Verifying that EDIFACT data was parsed correctly
    • Supporting queries about invoice details
    • Training staff on EDIFACT processing

  • 40942 Vendor’s contacts not displayed nicely on the vendor detail view
  • 41119 Autocompletion of basket creator does not work in acquisition-home.pl

Architecture, internals, and plumbing

Enhancements

  • 30915 “Scalar” TT plugin no longer needed

    This patch set removes the Context TT plugin which only contained the Scalar method. This was only used a few times in the codebase. (We do not expect them to be used in notices on larger scale.)

    The db revision will warn users for (adjusted) notices that contain this construct if any. Occurrences like [% Context.Scalar(x,y) %] can be replaced by [% x.y %]. If x.y returns a list, change to x.y.size.

  • 31149 Use dayjs to parse dates
    REVERTED
  • 32176 Correctly display patrons when selected after autocomplete (was js/patron-autocomplete.js need another option)
  • 35451 Add tablename field to additional_field_values
  • 35761 Add an administration editor for FTP and SFTP servers
    Koha now includes a unified administration interface for managing FTP and SFTP server connections, eliminating the need to duplicate connection details across different parts of the system.

    This new centralised configuration system allows you to define FTP and SFTP server credentials once and then reference them from multiple features (such as EDI). If a password changes or a vendor upgrades from FTP to SFTP, only a single configuration record needs updating.

    Key features:

    • Unified server management: Configure FTP and SFTP servers under Administration → File transports
    • Secure credential storage: Passwords and SSH keys are encrypted in the database
    • Connection testing: Test connections directly from the Koha interface to verify credentials and connectivity
    • Granular permissions: New manage_file_transports permission controls access to the configuration interface
    • Reusable configurations: Server configurations can be referenced by multiple features, reducing duplication

    Configuration options:

    • Transport type (FTP or SFTP)
    • Server hostname and port
    • Username and password
    • Upload and download directories
    • Connection settings (passive mode, debug mode)
    • SSH private key (for SFTP)

    For administrators:

    Access the new file transport management under Administration → File transports. The interface includes a connection testing feature that validates your credentials and checks read/write permissions on the configured directories.

    Future extensibility:

    This architecture provides a foundation for adding file transport capabilities to other Koha features such as runreport.pl, export_records.pl, and export_borrowers.pl, allowing them to upload outputs directly to remote servers.

  • 36674 Lazy load api-client JS files
  • 38201 VueJS architecture rethink
    The idea behind this bug was to introduce a framework for building Vue applications and components that would allow a developer to make use of pre-existing components and logic, rather than having to write everything from scratch. Currently in Koha, we have a lot of bespoke logic for each different form/display page as well as a lot of repeated code. This can make regressions more likely and reduce code consistency. To address this, we have introduced standardised components for rendering form elements (e.g. inputs, selects) and displaying data, as well as a standardised ‘list’ component. This means that each new Vue module can be built very quickly without the need to write out all the HTML structure and logic for creating a form/display page – the developer can simply access the pre-written logic in the framework to do the heavy lifting for them.

    The FormElement and ShowElement components are at the core of this work, as they render the different input and display options in a standardised manner. These are made use of by ResourceFormSave, ResourceShow and ResourceList which act as generic components that can be used by the developer to handle any Koha data type. To prove this, all the existing Vue modules (ERM, Preservation, Record Resources and Vendors) have been migrated to use it. A new suite of cypress tests has been written to verify the functionality as well as catch regressions and part of this is introducing component testing into Koha for any future Vue work that may need it.

    Moving forwards, the aim would be that new modules are built using this framework. It is important to note that the framework is not restrictive – it is possible to inject bespoke components directly into FormElement and ShowElement where there are particularly niche requirements. However, the goal is that if the developer feels that there could be a need for that requirement in future for someone else, then the goal should be to expand the framework to support it so that all can benefit. We have documented this through the use of JSDoc in base-resource.js, as well as with an example SkeletonResource.vue to show how it should be used. There are also the live examples in the modules mentioned above.

  • 38311 DataTables – Simplify the building of the dropdown list filters
  • 38363 get_template_and_user and checkauth don’t use C4::Output for rendering auth pages

  • 38489 EDI should be updated to use the new FTP/SFTP Servers management page

    EDI (EDIFACT) transport configuration has been completely refactored to use the unified file transport system introduced in Bug 35761 and Bug 39190, eliminating the duplication of FTP/SFTP server configuration that previously existed between EDI accounts and the file transport administration.

    Previously, EDI accounts stored their own FTP/SFTP connection details (host, port, username, password) separately from the FTP/SFTP servers configuration, leading to duplicate maintenance. Now, EDI accounts simply reference a configured file transport, with the transport handling all connection management.

    Key changes:

    • Unified configuration: EDI accounts now select an existing file transport for upload and download operations rather than storing duplicate connection details
    • Automatic migration: Existing EDI transport configurations are automatically migrated to file transport records during upgrade
    • Enhanced transport capabilities: EDI now benefits from the file transport system’s connection testing, status monitoring, and encrypted credential storage
    • New ‘local’ transport type: Added support for local directory operations, useful for development and testing
    • Simplified EDI interface: The EDI account form now uses dropdown selectors for file transports instead of requiring manual entry of connection details

    Technical improvements:

    • Removed 184 lines of legacy FTP/SFTP connection code from Koha::Edifact::Transport
    • Added rename_file() method to transport classes for EDI file processing workflow
    • Added disconnect() method for proper connection cleanup
    • Standardised list_files() API across all transport types
    • All transport classes now return consistent data structures

    For administrators:

    When upgrading, your existing EDI transport configurations will be automatically converted to file transport records. After upgrade, you’ll manage FTP/SFTP credentials in one place (Administration → File transports) rather than duplicating them for each EDI account.

  • 38936 Move suppressed record redirection into a sub
  • 39190 Rework new (S)FTP classes to be polymorphic classes

    The SFTP server configuration (introduced in Bug 35761) has been significantly enhanced and renamed to ‘File transports’ to support multiple transport protocols through a polymorphic architecture.

    This enhancement adds full transport protocol handling for both FTP and SFTP connections, including connection testing and SSH key management for SFTP. The system now uses polymorphic classes that automatically instantiate the correct transport handler (FTP or SFTP) based on the configured protocol type.

    Key features:

    • Automatic connection testing: When saving a transport configuration, Koha now tests the connection in the background and stores detailed status information
    • SFTP key handling: SSH private keys for SFTP connections are securely stored and automatically written to the filesystem when needed
    • Protocol-specific methods: Each transport type (FTP/SFTP) has its own specialised connection handling whilst sharing common configuration storage
    • Enhanced status reporting: Connection status is now stored as detailed JSON data rather than simple text
    • Renamed administration: The admin interface and API have been renamed from ‘sftp_servers’ to ‘file_transports’ to reflect the multi-protocol nature

    Technical changes:

    • New base class Koha::File::Transport handles configuration storage
    • Protocol-specific subclasses Koha::File::Transport::FTP and Koha::File::Transport::SFTP implement transport methods
    • Background job Koha::BackgroundJob::TestTransport handles connection testing
    • API endpoint renamed from /config/sftp_servers to /config/file_transports
    • Admin page renamed from admin/sftp_servers.pl to admin/file_transports.pl

    This architecture makes it straightforward to add additional transport protocols in the future (such as cloud storage services) whilst keeping protocol-specific logic cleanly separated.

  • 39488 Update Koha::Object(s) to allow for polymorphic classing
    Koha’s object framework now supports polymorphic classing, allowing different object subclasses to be instantiated based on field values in shared database tables.

    This enhancement updates Koha::Object and Koha::Objects classes to pass the original DBIx::Class result object to the object_class method, enabling dynamic class selection based on record content. This works across all standard retrieval methods including find, find_or_create, single, next, last, and as_list.

    Use cases:

    • Transport protocols (FTP/SFTP) sharing a common table but requiring protocol-specific methods
    • Account lines where debits and credits share a table but need type-specific behaviour
    • Any scenario where related object types share storage but require distinct method implementations

    For developers:

    To implement polymorphic classes, define a _polymorphic_class_map method in your Koha::Objects class that returns a hashref mapping field values to class names. The framework will automatically instantiate the appropriate subclass based on the stored data.

    A template for implementing polymorphic classes is included in the codebase. Test::Builder has also been updated to introspect polymorphic class maps for comprehensive testing.

  • 39906 Add bot challenge (in Apache layer)
    When enabled, external HTTP requests to key Koha OPAC pages are challenged using a Javascript script.
  • 40037 Redundant check in notices_content hook handling
  • 40055 C4::Reserves::MoveReserve should be passed objects
  • 40058 Move RevertWaitingStatus to Koha::Hold->revert_waiting()
    This development refactors and existing function into a class method. The idea is that the code gets simplified, and also improve performance as the method acts on the already instantiated object instead of fetching it from the DB, internally.
  • 40101 Add Koha::Patron->can_place_holds
  • 40275 Add Koha::Patrons->find_by_identifier()
  • 40286 Make C4::Auth::checkpw_internal use Koha::Patrons->find_by_identifier
  • 40337 checkprevcheckout must be defined as ENUM at DB level
  • 40527 Add SECURITY.md to Koha
    This enhancement adds a markdown file to the Koha project repository to make it clear how to report security issues.
  • 40579 CSV formula injection protection
  • 40919 Unnecessary DB access in Koha::Item::Transfer->receive
  • 40958 Move patron_to_html (from js-patron-format.inc) to a standalone JS file
  • 41031 Extractor::MARC->new does not check if metadata is a MARC::Record
  • 41153 (Follow-up of 40559) Cleanup catalogue/MARCdetail.pl

Authentication

Enhancements

  • 30724 Add ability for administrator to reset a users 2FA

    This enhancement enables superlibrarians to turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) for a staff patron when they lose access to their authenticator application or device. This is accessed from the patron’s account > More > Manage two-factor authentication.

  • 34164 OAuth2/OIDC should redirect to page that initiated login

  • 37711 IdP auto-register should work on the staff interface

    The ‘auto-register’ feature can now be enabled in the staff interface.

    Previously, this functionality was only available in the OPAC and could not be used from the staff side.

  • 40943 Store session_id in userenv

Cataloging

Enhancements

  • 29980 Validate ISBN when cataloguing bibliographic records

    This enhancement adds a new cataloging plugin (value builder) for validating ISBNs. If you enter an invalid ISBN, a browser pop-up window warns that the ISBN is invalid, but you can ignore this (the field is highlighted in yellow) and still save the record.

    For new installations, the validate_isbn.pl plugin is added to the bibliographic frameworks by default for 020$a (MARC21) or 010$a (UNIMARC).

    For existing installations, update your frameworks manually.

  • 35654 Add option to delete_items.pl to delete record if existing item getting deleted is the only one attached to the bib

    This patch updates the delete_items script to use Koha::Items->search instead of a direct database query.

    Using a –where option that refers to the items table by name such as:
    ./misc/cronjobs/delete_items.pl –where “items.withdrawn = 0”

    will no longer work and result in an error:
    execute failed: Unknown column ‘items.withdrawn’ in ‘where clause’

    Use the –where option without naming the items table instead:
    ./misc/cronjobs/delete_items.pl –where “withdrawn = 0”

  • 37604 Give skip_open_orders checkbox an ID in batch record deletion template

    This enhancement adds an ID to the “Skip bibliographic records with open acquisition orders” checkbox on the batch record deletion page (Cataloging > Batch editing > Batch record deletion”).

    This is required so that when selecting or unselecting the checkbox, the focus remains on the checkbox. The ID semantically links the checkbox to its label so machines (screenreaders and computers) can tell they are related elements.

  • 38330 Make bib-level suppression a biblio table field instead of part of a MARC tag
  • 39507 Make the MARC21 008 plugin more precise for MU

  • 39545 Construct more complete 773 content when creating a child record

  • 39880 Add shelving location to cn_browser.tt

    This enhancement adds the shelving location column to the table for the call number browser cataloging plugin (cn_browser.pl, often added to bibliographic frameworks for 952$o – Full call number).

  • 40017 Z39.50 search: Allow leader and specific control field positions in Additional fields
    This enhancement to the AdditionalFieldsInZ3950ResultSearch and AdditionalFieldsInZ3950ResultAuthSearch system preferences improves what you can show for the additional fields in the Z39.50 search results:

    [1] the complete leader with 000
    [2] the complete control field, for example 008
    [3] specific positions in the leader or control fields, for example 000p1, 008p2, etc.
    [4] a range from the leader or control field, for example 000p6-7, 008p35-37, etc.

  • 40839 Advanced cataloging editor z39.50 search should include Keyword in Advanced Search options
    This patch makes keyword searching available when performing a z39.50 search via the advanced search modal in the advanced cataloging editor.
  • 41015 Z39.50 searching in Advanced Cataloging Editor is not clearly labeled
    This enhancement updates the labels for the advanced cataloging editor search form to make it clear that it is a Z39.50/SRU search. (It changes “Search” to “Z39.50/SRU search”, and the advanced search form is changed from “Advanced search” to “Advanced Z39.50/SRU search”).

Circulation

Enhancements

  • 9762 Log circulation overrides

    Summary:
    Koha circulation actions (checkout, renewal, return) previously lacked detailed logging when staff overrode system restrictions, making it difficult to audit and track these important decisions.

    Fix:
    Added comprehensive override logging that captures when staff bypass circulation restrictions:

    • JSON Action Logs: All circulation overrides now log structured data including confirmation codes (DEBT, AGE_RESTRICTION, ON_RESERVE, etc.) and forced override reasons
    • Consistent Format: Standardized JSON logging across all circulation operations (AddIssue, AddRenewal)
    • Enhanced Display: Action log viewer shows human-readable descriptions of overrides (e.g., “Patron is restricted”, “Renewal limit override”)
    • Comprehensive Coverage: Tracks overrides for patron restrictions, age limits, checkout limits, holds conflicts, fine overrides, and more

    Impact:
    Provides complete audit trail for circulation policy overrides, improving accountability and compliance reporting. Librarians can now easily track when and why staff bypassed system restrictions during checkout, renewal, and return operations.

    Technical Details:
    Override information is stored as JSON in action logs with format:
    json
    {
    "issue": 123,
    "itemnumber": 456,
    "confirmations": ["DEBT", "AGE_RESTRICTION"],
    "forced": ["TOO_MANY"]
    }

  • 20644 Per itemtype setting for CheckPrevCheckout

    This enhancement extends the CheckPrevCheckout functionality to item types. With this change, if the CheckPrevCheckouts system preference is set to either “Unless overridden by patron category or by item type, do” or “Unless overridden by patron category or by item type, do not”, an additional option will appear in the item type definition. This allows libraries to customize whether Koha should warn staff when a patron has already checked out the same title, on a per–item type basis.

  • 23010 If an item is checked out or in transit it should not be able to be marked withdrawn
    This enhancement adds a new system preference, PreventWithDrawingItemsStatus. When the system preference is enabled it will prevent items that are in-transit or checked out from being withdrawn.

  • 35669 Update check in message for a specific authorised value in the LOST authorised values
    This enhancement displays the LOST authorized value description when checking an item in, instead of the generic “Item was lost, now found.” message. For example, if the LOST value description is “Missing” it will now display as “Item was Missing, now found.”.
  • 36455 Default the hold queue link to your logged in library
    This enhancement defaults the holds queue link on the Circulation home page (and corresponding navigation links) to the currently logged in branch. This reduces the number of clicks to run the holds queue for the typical library without adding any additional clicks should the queue need generated for an alternate branch or all branches.

    This enhancement allows for staff to move item level holds to new items and record level holds to new records. From the holds list page ( reserve/request.pl ) staff will now see the option to “Move selected holds” if they have the alter_hold_target permission. When the button is clicked a modal will be presented allowing staff to choose a new record target for record level holds or a new item target for item level holds.

    This patch also adds the new permission that is required to move holds, alter_hold_target.

    It also reimplements suspending and cancelling multiple holds on these pages from a UI/UX point of view.
    Before, the user was required to check the box under the ‘Delete?’ column for the respective hold and then click a ‘Cancel marked holds’ button alongside a cancellation reason.
    Now, the user selects the holds they want to cancel and click a new ‘Cancel selected holds’ button. This reworked button now shows the hold cancellation modal, becoming more consistent to what happens when cancelling holds in other pages where this action is also possible.
    Suspending multiple holds has received the same treatment, with the additional benefit that is now possible to suspend a set of selected holds, rather than only being able to suspend either a single or all holds.
    This work also serves as preparation for future holds ‘bulk actions’ on these patron pages, now that selecting multiple holds on these pages has been standardized.
  • 40517 Allow grouping existing holds
    Staff can now group existing patron holds together directly from the patron holds table, in addition to creating hold groups when placing new holds.

    Previously, hold groups could only be created when placing new holds (if the DisplayAddHoldGroups system preference was enabled). With this enhancement, staff can now select multiple existing holds from a patron’s holds list and group them together using a new “Group selected” button.

    Key features:

    • Group selected button: Select two or more holds from the patron holds table and click “Group selected” to create a new hold group
    • Visual group IDs: Hold groups are displayed with easy-to-understand sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) rather than internal database IDs
    • Automatic cleanup: If a hold group is left with only one hold (or none) after cancellations or fulfilment, the group is automatically deleted
    • Smart restrictions: You cannot group holds that have already been found (waiting for pickup)
    • Multiple groups: Create as many different hold groups as needed for a patron

    Using hold groups:

    1. Navigate to a patron’s record and click the “Holds” tab
    2. Select two or more holds using the checkboxes
    3. Click the “Group selected” button and confirm
    4. The holds are now grouped together with a visual group ID displayed in the holds table
    5. Click on the group number to view or manage the hold group

    For administrators:

    This feature requires the DisplayAddHoldGroups system preference to be enabled. The new “Group selected” button appears alongside other hold management buttons on patron holds pages.

    REST API:

    A new API endpoint /api/v1/patrons/{patron_id}/hold_groups has been added to support listing and creating hold groups programmatically.

  • 40529 Update how hold groups work
    This patchset changes how hold groups work: Previously, only Waiting holds triggered group-based actions by cancelling other holds in the group. Now, when a hold in a group becomes In transit or Waiting, it is designated as the group’s target hold. Subsequent check-ins skip other holds in the same group unless the target is cancelled, allowing a new target to be set. This improves hold fulfillment logic and supports dynamic reassignment of target holds. The behavior applies to check-ins, holds to pull and the holds queue.
  • 40551 Make patron page holds table use API endpoint for cancellation
    The patron holds tables on the patron details page, circulation page, and holds management page (reserve/request.pl) now use a REST API endpoint for cancelling holds, with bulk cancellations processed as background jobs.

    Previously, hold cancellations from these pages were processed synchronously through traditional page requests. When cancelling multiple holds at once, this could cause delays or timeouts on pages with many holds.

    Key improvements:

    • Background processing: Bulk hold cancellations are now queued as background jobs, preventing page timeouts when cancelling multiple holds
    • Consistent interface: Selecting and cancelling holds works the same way across all patron-related holds tables (patron details, circulation, and holds management pages)
    • Better performance: The page doesn’t need to wait for all cancellations to complete before refreshing

    For staff: When you cancel selected holds, the page may not refresh immediately. The cancellations are being processed in the background. You can check the status of the background job in Administration → Jobs.

    Technical details:

    This enhancement adds a new /holds/cancellation_bulk API endpoint (Bug 40550) that accepts multiple hold IDs and queues their cancellations as a background job, improving the reliability and user experience when managing large numbers of holds.

  • 40552 Allow selecting all holds from a group
  • 40613 Allow ungrouping holds

ILL

Enhancements

  • 37901 Add ILL pseudonymization

    This enhancement adds 2 new types of statistics related to Interlibrary loans: ILL request created, and ILL request completed.
    Additionally, if Pseudonymization is enabled, pseudonymized transactions will be created from these statistics.

    Technical changes:

    • Database table ‘pseudonymized_borrower_attributes’ renamed to ‘pseudonymized_metadata_values’. Existing reports that reference this table should be updated accordingly on upgrade.
    • Adds ‘illrequest_id’ column to statistics table

    Sponsored by UK Health Security Agency

  • 38928 Openurl ‘id’ or ‘rft_id’ may contain key information
  • 39773 OPAC ILL form does not use client-side form validation for required fields

    The OPAC interlibrary loan request form now uses browser-based client-side validation for required fields. When creating a new ILL request, required fields (such as request type) are validated before the form is submitted, providing immediate feedback to users if required information is missing.

    This enhancement improves the user experience by:
    – Highlighting required fields that are empty when the user attempts to submit
    – Preventing incomplete forms from being submitted to the server
    – Reducing unnecessary page reloads for validation errors

    This validation applies to both authenticated ILL requests and unauthenticated requests (when the ILLOpacUnauthenticatedRequest system preference is enabled).

  • 39917 Display a prompt for status alias when completing a request if ILL_STATUS_ALIAS in use

    This enhancement to ILL requests lets you select a ‘status alias’ when marking requests as complete. This is only shown when values are defined for the ILL_STATUS_ALIAS authorized values category. The alias is then shown in the status field on the request details page, and in the status column for the list of ILL requests. If there are no values defined, then you are not prompted to select a status alias.

    Sponsored by NHS England (National Health Service England)

  • 39918 Unauthenticated request data should show when editing a request

    This fixes the edit form for an unauthenticated ILL request in the staff interface – it now shows the details for the person who made the request (name and email address).

    (This is a follow-up to Bug 36197 – Allow unauthenticated ILL requests in the OPAC, a new feature added in Koha 25.05.)

  • 40005 Manage request page should show accessurl
    This enhancement adds the ‘Access URL’ field to the manage ILL request page, if a value exists (depending on the backend). Before this, it was only shown in the table listing all requests.
  • 40012 Standard form missing publisher for journal articles
  • 40024 Backends that don’t support get_requested_partners capability show a ‘(0)’ in status
    This enhancement removes the ‘(0)’ for the ILL request status field, where the ILL backend does not support the ‘get_requested_partners’ capability. (The method returns ‘0’ if the backend does not implement the capability. The template checks for ‘length’, and length of ‘0’ is ‘1’.)
  • 40026 Edit item metadata should present Standard form if AutoILLBackendPriority is in use
  • 40075 ILL Standard form should only show libraries that are pickup_locations
  • 40262 ILL – Save the fact that copyright clearance has been confirmed by the patron
    This enhancement to copyright clearance for interlibrary loan requests:
    – records the copyright clearance in the database (it previously wasn’t)
    – shows the message “Patron has confirmed copyright clearance for this request” on the request page

    (This requires text in the ILLModuleCopyrightClearance HTML customization.)

  • 40850 Add Koha::ILL::Request->add_or_update_attributes
  • 40856 Improve Standard backend metadata retrieval

Enhancements

  • 39145 Differentiate between deleting or transferring public and shared lists

    This enhancement to the lists feature adds a new option to the ListOwnershipUponPatronDeletion system preference – “change owner of public lists, delete shared lists”.

    When the patron that created a list is deleted (and this option is set):
    – the owner of any public lists are changed (to the patron deleting the patron, or the patron set in ListOwnerDesignated), and
    – any shared lists are deleted.

MARC Authority data support

Enhancements

  • 33296 Linker should search for authority records with an appropriate 008/14,15,16 value
  • 38514 Filter out autocomplete list of authorities with ConsiderHeadingUse

    This patch updates the authority search in cataloging to exclude results from the autocomplete that would be excluded from the search based on ConsiderHeadingUse and MARC21 field 008/14-16 indication of what the heading can be used for (main/added entry, subject entry, series entry).

Enhancements

  • 29733 MARC21: Link 7xx linking fields to marc21_linking_section.pl value builder in sample frameworks
  • 39860 Add a way to allow for additional/custom MARC fields in the record display

    Adds a way to enhance bibliographic displays including the staff interface result and detail pages, and the OPAC’s result and detail pages. This is done through “Tools” > “Additional content” > “Record display customizations”.

  • 40071 MARC21 Addition to relator terms in technical notice 2025-06-04
    This enhancement adds a new relator term “waw – Writer of afterword” to the RELTERMS authorized values list (from the MARC21 4 June 2025 technical notice).

    Note: This change only affects new installations. For existing installations, manually update the RELTERMS authorized values list.

  • 40072 MARC21 Addition to relator terms in technical notice 2025-04-03
    This enhancement to the RELTERMS authorized values list (from the MARC21 3 April 2025 technical notice):
    – adds a new relator term “wfw – Writer of foreword”
    – removes the deprecated relator term “aui – Author of introduction, etc.”

    Notes:
    1. This change only affects new installations.
    2. For existing installations, manually update the RELTERMS authorized values list to reflect the changes from the technical notice.
    2. As there is a deprecated term (aui):
    – Importing records with a nonexistent value will not delete data from the records. It will simply say “aui (Not an authorized value)”.
    – For existing installations and records, use batch record modification before deleting the deprecated term (aui), where required.

  • 40073 MARC21 Addition to relator terms in technical notice 2025-02-06
    This enhancement adds two new relator terms to the RELTERMS authorized values list (from the MARC21 6 February 2025 technical notice):

  • 38661 Add warning when deleting import batch

Notices

Enhancements

  • 36020 Port default recall notices to Template Toolkit

    This enhancement adds recalls to the objects that can be called using Template Toolkit and updates the default notices for RETURN_RECALLED_ITEM, PICKUP_RECALLED_ITEM, and RECALL_REQUESTER_DET notices.

    It uses [% INCLUDE ‘biblio-title.inc’ biblio=biblio link=0 %] and [% INCLUDE ‘patron-title.inc’ patron => borrower, no_title => 1, no_html = 1 %] to pull in the title and patron information.

    Existing installations will not see changes to their notices but they can be viewed using the “See default” button when editing the notice.

  • 36114 Port default TRANSFERSLIP notice to Template Toolkit syntax
  • 36127 Port default HOLDPLACED and HOLD_CHANGED notices to Template Toolkit syntax
  • 39280 Generalize ODUE notice text – remove “If an item becomes more than 30 days overdue, you will be unable to use your library card until the item is returned.”
    This enhancement removes unnecessary or misleading text from the ODUE notice, as it depends on the library’s settings: “If an item becomes more than 30 days overdue, you will be unable to use your library card until the item is returned.”.

    Note: The notice is not automatically updated for existing installations. Update the notice manually to change the wording if required, or replace the default notice using “View default” and “Copy to template” if you have not customized the notice.

  • 39883 NEW_SUGGESTION email notices end up in the patrons notice tab (members/notices.pl) when they should not
    The patch makes it so NEW_SUGGESTION email notices do not show up in a patron’s notice history.

OPAC

Enhancements

  • 18148 Make list of lists in OPAC sortable

    When reviewing a list of public or private lists in the OPAC, users can now sort the list of lists by “List name” or “Modification date” in ascending or descending order.

Packaging

Enhancements

  • 40164 Add Template::Plugin::JSON to handle JSON in Template Toolkit

    This patch adds a new Template::Toolkit library to Koha’s dependencies. This library, while not directly used in Koha, can be used in Template::Toolkit-driven templates to access JSON structures (e.g. notices, report templates, etc).

    A good example is making report templates that include JSON columns, like background_jobs.data.

Patrons

Enhancements

  • 22632 Add logging of merged patrons

    This enhancement adds details of patron merges to the log viewer (when BorrowersLog is enabled).

  • 26258 Circulation tabs inconsistent with counters

    This enhancement changes the markup, style, and behaviour of counters which are displayed on a patron’s check out and details tabs:

    1. A new style: the counter background has a light blue square with rounded corners
    2. The claims tab:
      . The order of the counters is now Unresolved claims / Resolved claims
      . The background colour for the counter changes to orange when the value set in ClaimReturnedWarningThreshold is reached
    3. The restrictions tab: the counter background color is red
    4. The clubs tab: now only shows the number of clubs a patron is enrolled in (the count of available clubs is removed)

  • 40082 PatronDuplicateMatchingAddFields isn’t respected in the OPAC or the API

  • 40245 Support option to display firstname in patron search results when different than preferred_name

    A new system preference ‘ShowFirstIfDifferentThanPreferred’ toggles the ability for a patron’s documented first name to be displayed alongside their Preferred name, when different, during patron search. This allows for library staff to easier identify and distinguish between patron record with similar names or when an ID does not match the patron’s preferred name.

Plugin architecture

Enhancements

  • 34978 Add –include and –exclude options to install_plugins.pl to choose the plugins to install

    This enhancement adds new parameters to the install_plugins.pl script to specify which plugins to install.

    New parameters :
    –include (repeatable) install ONLY the plugins specified

    –exclude (repeatable) install all the plugins EXCEPT the ones specified

    The parameters require the full plugin class (e.g. Koha::Plugin::PluginName).

    The parameters cannot be used simultaneously.

  • 39632 Failed plugin install gives too little info
  • 40653 plugins/run.pl controller drops authentication if logging in to that route
  • 40827 Update plugin wrapper to include context for method=”report”
    This enhancement updates the plugin wrapper to include the reports menu and have the breadcrumbs list reports instead of admin or tools when method=”report”

REST API

Enhancements

  • 38931 Add endpoints for individual credits and debits
  • 39091 Cash registers should have a list API endpoint
  • 39816 Allow embedding days_late in baskets

    This development adds the ability to embed information on late days on the basket objects retrieved from the API.

  • 39830 Add order claim object definition
  • 39900 Add public REST endpoint for additional_contents
    A new public REST API endpoint has been added for retrieving additional contents (news items and HTML customisations) without authentication. This enables external applications and websites to access and display Koha news and custom content.

    Endpoint details:
    – Path: /api/v1/public/additional_contents
    – Method: GET
    – Authentication: None required (public endpoint)
    – Query parameters:
    – Standard search and filter parameters for finding specific content
    – lang: Filter by language code to retrieve content in a specific language
    – embed: Use translated_contents to include all available translations

    Key features:

    • Public access: No authentication required, making it suitable for displaying library news on external websites
    • Multi-language support: Retrieve content in specific languages or fetch all translations at once using the translated_contents embed
    • Flexible filtering: Search and filter additional contents using standard API query parameters
    • Content types: Access both news items and HTML customisations through the same endpoint

    For developers:

    This endpoint follows the same patterns as other Koha public API endpoints. Use the lang parameter to retrieve content for a specific language, or use embed=translated_contents to get all available translations in a single request. This is particularly useful for multi-lingual library websites that need to display Koha news items.

    Example use cases:
    – Displaying library news on an external website
    – Integrating OPAC announcements into a library portal
    – Building mobile applications that show library notices
    – Creating custom displays of library information

  • 40176 Add maxLength to the item definition

  • 40434 Add maxLength to the vendor definition
  • 40511 Add maxLength to the eHoldings title definition
  • 40512 Add maxLength to the erm agreements definition
  • 40542 Add cancellation_reason to holds strings embed
  • 40550 Add /holds/cancellation_bulk endpoint
    A new REST API endpoint /api/v1/holds/cancellation_bulk has been added to support cancelling multiple holds in a single request, with the cancellations processed as a background job.

    This endpoint accepts an array of hold IDs and optionally a cancellation reason, then queues a background job to process the cancellations asynchronously. This prevents timeouts and improves performance when cancelling large numbers of holds.

    Endpoint details:
    – Method: POST
    – Path: /api/v1/holds/cancellation_bulk
    – Parameters:
    – hold_ids (required): Array of hold IDs to cancel
    – cancellation_reason (optional): Reason for cancellation
    – Response: Returns a background job ID for tracking the cancellation progress

    For developers:

    This endpoint is used by the staff interface patron holds tables (Bug 40551) to handle bulk hold cancellations. The background job approach ensures reliable processing even when dealing with hundreds of holds, and allows the user interface to remain responsive.

    Required permissions:
    – reserveforothers – Place and modify holds for patrons

Reports

Enhancements

  • 23978 Notes field in saved reports should allow for (scrubbed) HTML

    This enhancement to the notes field for saved SQL reports now allows the use of selected HTML in the field.

  • 39636 Add options to compare_es_to_db script

    The compare_es_to_db.pl script now supports the -b/--biblios and -a/--authorities options, allowing checks to be limited to a single index.

    Additionally, the generated Elasticsearch curl link has been updated to align with the latest version structure.

  • 40890 Make batch_size configurable for koha-es-indexer
    A new configuration entry has been introduced in koha-conf.xml to control how many Elasticsearch update tasks the indexer processes per iteration.

    Previously, the indexer defaulted to a batch size of 10. While the koha-es-indexer command supported overriding this with the --batch_size parameter, there was no way to set a different default value.

    This change is particularly beneficial for large sites, where the indexer may otherwise struggle to keep pace with the update queue during peak activity.

  • 37115 Add the option to delete linked serials when deleting items
  • 37116 Add the option to edit linked serials when editing items
  • 40070 Make appending published date to serial enumeration optional on detail pages

    Enhancement: A new system preference, DisplayPublishedDate, has been added to control whether the published date is shown after the volume/numbering information in holdings tables. When enabled, the date will appear in parentheses in both the OPAC and staff interface (Serial/Enumeration and Vol info columns). When disabled, the date is hidden.

Staff interface

Enhancements

  • 27934 Table sorting using title-string option is obsolete
  • 30148 Pipe separated contents are hard to customize (staff interface)
  • 36518 Add unique IDs to the fieldsets of the item search form to facilitate customization

    This enhancement adds IDs to the fieldsets on the staff interface search form (Search > Item search), to make CSS customization easier. The fieldset IDs are:
    – Library and location section: librarylocation
    – Item information section: access_and_condition
    – Barcode search section: barcodesearch
    – Call number section: callnumber_checkouts

  • 37883 Add a filter for staff search results to filter by library
    This enhancement adds the system preference FilterSearchResultsByLoggedInBranch. When turned on this feature will allow librarians to filter search results to only show those belonging to the logged in branch. This selection will be set in the browser’s localStorage.

System Administration

New features

  • 37893 Migrate some SIP configuration into the staff interface

    This update introduces a new SIP2 module that allows staff members with the new sip2 permission to manage SIP2 institutions, accounts, and system preference overrides directly in the UI. When upgrading to 25.11, the relevant SIPConfig.xml settings are automatically migrated into the database. These settings can then be edited in the UI, and the SIP server will pick up any changes immediately without needing a restart. This makes configuring SIP2 easier, removing the need for server access to edit XML files or restart the SIP server for these settings.
    Server params and listeners are intentionally not included in this work and must still be configured in the SIPConfig.xml file.

Enhancements

  • 34561 Move IntranetReportsHomeHTML to HTML customizations

    This enhancement moves the IntranetReportsHomeHTML system preference into HTML customizations. This makes it possible to have language-specific and library-specific content. The option has been renamed StaffReportsHome for better consistency with other HTML customization regions.

  • 40400 Rename club start and end date to make clearer these are for the enrollment period

    This enhancement to patron clubs renames “Start date” and “End date” to “Enrollment start date” and “Enrollment end date”, to better reflect what the dates represent.

    Bugfixes

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

Critical bugs fixed

  • 40370 about.pl should NOT say “Run the following SQL to fix the database” (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
  • 40066 Cannot add order to basket from the baskets view (25.11.00,25.11.01)

    This fixes adding items to a basket – instead of getting the pop-up window to add to the basket, the message “You can’t create any orders unless you first define a budget and a fund.” was shown (Acquisitions > [vendor] > Baskets > Add to basket).

    (This is related to Bug 38010 – Migrate vendors to Vue, added to Koha 25.05.)

  • 40587 Prevent selection of different EAN’s on EDI ORDER when the Basket is generated from a QUOTE message (25.11.00,25.05.05)

    Sponsored by OpenFifth

  • 40684 Permission error for vendors if user has not full acquisition module permission (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 40743 Unable to select the correct fund when paying invoices (25.11.00,25.05.05)
  • 40870 Fund code is lost when modifying an order in acquisitions (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 40918 Invoice Adjustment Reason always “No reason” even if report shows a saved reason (25.11.00,25.05.05)
  • 38426 Node.js v18 EOL around 25.05 release time (25.11.00)
  • 40033 The background jobs page calls GetPlugins incorrectly, resulting in a 500 error (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.06)

    This fixes the background jobs page (Koha administration > Jobs > Manage jobs) so that it doesn’t generate a 500 error when a plugin does not have a background task (it currently calls GetPlugins incorrectly).

  • 40608 Password not changed if PASSWORD_CHANGE letter absent (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)
  • 40671 Expand Koha::Hold->revert_waiting to handle all found statuses (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 40680 Many warnings on Perl 5.40 due to importing methods from not yet defined packages (25.11.00)
  • 40748 Remote-Code-Execution (RCE) in update_social_data.pl (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.09,24.05.12,22.11.31)
  • 41328 All KohaTable tables broken in Vue components (25.11.00)
  • 41336 Vue Router warn on Vue datatable pages (25.11.00)
  • 41354 Error when loading “Record sources” Vue app (25.11.00)
  • 41355 No ‘show’ view for record sources (25.11.00)
    This fixes the list of record sources (Administration > Catalog > Record sources) – it removes the links from entries in the name column (all the link did was reload the page).
  • 41357 New SIP2 module is broken
    25.11.00
  • 40544 Manage bundle button broken (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
    Fixes the “Manage bundle” feature broken by Bug 40127
  • 40997 Javascript error prevents saving when an instance of an ‘important’ or ‘required’ field is deleted (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)
  • 38477 Regression: new overdue fine applied incorrectly when using “Refund lost item charge and charge new overdue fine” option in circ rules (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.06)
    Under certain circumstances, the existence of a lost charge for a patron that previously borrowed an item (which was later found) could lead to creating a new fine for a patron that borrowed and returned the item with no issues – if the item was lost and found again after they had returned it.

    This adds tests to cover this edge case, and fixes this edge case to ensure that a new fine is only charged if the patron charged the lost fine matches the patron who most recently returned the item.

  • 40205 “Default checkout, hold and return policy” cannot be unset (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
  • 40296 Bookings that are checked out do not have status updated to completed (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
  • 40739 Setting TransfersBlockCirc to ‘Don’t block’ does not allow for scanning to continue (25.11.00,25.05.04)
    This patch fixes a bug where setting TransfersBlockCirc to ‘Don’t block’ did not allow scanning to continue after the modal pop-up was displayed.
  • 41314 Column visibility broken on the checkouts table (25.11.00,25.05.06)
    This fixes the display of the ‘Export’ column on a patron’s check out and details sections when ExportCircHistory is enabled and disabled. Because of a regression (caused by DataTable’s saveState, bug 33484), the column was not correctly shown unless you cleared the cache/local storage:
    – If ExportCircHistory was set to ‘Show’, it is shown the first time.
    – If ExportCircHistory is then set to ‘Don’t show’, the export column continues to show until you clear the browser cache/local storage.
  • 31124 koha-remove fails to remove long_tasks queue daemon, so koha-create for same user fails (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.08)
    This development makes koha-remove stop all worker processes before attempting to remove the instance’s UNIX user.
  • 40953 marc_ordering_process.pl broken due to accidental newline (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)
  • 41099 koha-mysql doesn’t work out of the box on Debian 13
  • 37622 “location” header is set for non-POST routes (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)

  • 38446 Permission error for additional fields (25.11.00,25.05.06)

    Sponsored by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

  • 39823 SUSHI harvest fails to display error if the provider’s response does not contain Severity (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.06)

    This fixes SUSHI harvests for ERM. It now displays an error message when running a report/harvest, where there is no severity marker returned for the error. Previously (even if the test connect passed), only a red bar with no error message was shown.

  • 40198 Datatables search for data providers is broken (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
  • 40774 EBSCO Packages search box is missing (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 41063 Additional fields are broken in Vue (values entered are not saved) (25.11.00)
    This fixes the saving of data for additional fields for modules in Koha that use Vue (ERM, Preservation, Acquisitions). The data entered for additional fields is now saved, instead of being ignored and lost. For example, data for additional fields added to ERM agreements was not being saved, but now are.
  • 40620 Holds Queue will assign to the lowest item number if multiple branches have the same transport cost (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.10)
  • 40654 Sorting holds table can cause priority issues (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
    This patchset fixes a problem where hold priority could be incorrectly updated depending on how the table is sorted on reserve/request.tt.
  • 40755 Hold cancellation requests cause error 500 on holds waiting page (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 40057 Database update 24.12.00.017 fails if old ILL data points to non-existent borrowernumber (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.07)
    This fixes a database update related to ILL requests, for bug 32630 – Don’t delete ILL requests when patron is deleted, added in Koha 25.05.

    Background: Some databases have very old ILL requests where ‘borrowernumber’ has a value of a borrowernumber that doesn’t exist. We’re not exactly how the data ended up this way, but it’s happened at least twice now for one provider.

  • 40292 SQL syntax error when upgrading to 25.05 on MariaDB 10.3, RENAME COLUMN unsupported (25.11.00,25.05.05)
  • 41167 Rewrite Rules missing in etc/koha-httpd.conf (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
  • 40092 Clicking save doesn’t fill auto-populated fields in authority and biblio editor (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
    This fixes a regression between Koha 24.11, and 25.05 and main. When adding a new authority or bibliographic record, clicking save (without filling in any fields) now restores filling in the auto-populated fields such as 000, 003, and 008.
  • 38102 Checkout history in OPAC displaying more than 50 items (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
  • 38974 Error when submitting patron update from the OPAC Can’t call method “dateofbirthrequired” on an undefined value (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.08)
    This fixes updating personal details in the OPAC. A 500 error was shown if the “Patron category (categorycode)” was selected in the PatronSelfModificationBorrowerUnwantedField system preference and the date of birth field was changed or previously empty.

  • 35830 Add separate permission for Merging Patrons (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11,24.05.16,22.11.33)

    Sponsored by Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing

  • 41094 search_anonymize_candidates returns too many candidates when FailedLoginAttempts is empty (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
  • 41364 Error in preservation module breadcrumb (25.11.00)
  • 39336 Public Biblio endpoint should honour OpacSuppression syspref (25.11.00)
  • 40819 Guided reports select column should not be initialized as select2 (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 39911 Fatal errors from SIP server are not logged (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.08)

    This restores the logging of fatal SIP errors to both the SIP logs and standard output from the command line.

  • 38072 Regression with modalPrint (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
    This fixes a regression when printing dialogue boxes in certain Chromium-based browsers, for example, when printing the cashup summary for the point of sale system. Sometimes the print dialog failed to open, and instead you were faced with a flash of white before the new tab automatically closed and didn’t print.
  • 39930 Saved configuration states on tables are lost overnight (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)
  • 40127 JS error on biblio detail page when there are no items (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
    This fixes a JavaScript error on bibliographic record pages in the staff interface, where the record has no items.
  • 40753 DT’s SaveState not working on the orders table (25.11.00,25.05.04)
    This fixes the basket order table so that when you close (or reopen) a basket, the columns shown remain the same as the table configuration. Before this fix, if you closed a basket and then reopened it, the table settings columns hidden by default were ignored and all the possible columns were shown.
  • 40866 Corrections to override logging (25.11.00,25.05.05)
  • 41042 Table setting ‘default sort order’ not available for existing installations (25.11.00,25.05.05)
  • 41229 Cash registers are not fully reset on library change (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)

  • 39482 Link to edit OpacLibraryInfo from library edit page broken

    This fixes editing and showing OpacLibraryInfo HTML customizations information in the staff interface and OPAC:

    1. Staff interface:

      • When editing a library (Koha administration > Libraries > Actions > Edit)
        . the links to edit OpacLibraryInfo entries for the OPAC information field are now correct (previously, they may have linked to an incorrect HTML customization)
        . if there is more than one OpacLibraryInfo entry, all entries are now shown (only one entry was shown previously)
      • When viewing library information (Koha administration > Libraries > Name > [click library name]), all the OpacLibraryInfo entries are now shown

    2. OPAC:

      • All the entries for a library (including any ‘All libraries’ entries for OpacLibraryInfo) are now shown on the library information page (from the ‘Libraries’ link under the quick search bar)
      • In a record’s holdings table, the pop-up window when you click on the current library for an item now correctly shows all entries

  • 40655 Transport cost matrix doesn’t save changes (25.11.00,25.05.05)

    This fixes a problem with the transport cost matrix where fields that were disabled could not be made enabled via the interface,

  • 40161 New translation not displayed when translating an item type (25.11.00,25.05.02)
  • 40430 Toolbar_spec.ts is failing (25.11.00,25.05.03)
  • 40765 Acquisition tests will fail if order.quantity is set to 0 (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)
  • 41274 Incremental test runs not properly skipping Schema files (25.11.00)
  • 39289 Batch extend due date tool only displays the first 20 checkouts (25.11.00,25.05.02)
  • 41079 Checkboxes visible on the batch patron modification results view (25.11.00,25.05.05)

Other bugs fixed

  • 32244 Add Vue and Cypress to the About Koha > Licenses page (25.11.00,25.05.03)

    This adds Cypress and Vue to the About Koha > Licenses page.

  • 40022 Release team 25.11 (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08,22.11.30)
  • 40466 Zebra status misleading in “Server information” tab. (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
  • 40468 Terminology on the About > Licenses page – use US American spelling for license (25.11.00,25.05.04)
    This fixes the Koha about > Licenses page to use the US American spelling for license (instead of licence, which is the British English spelling).
  • 40692 Wrong color background in Perl modules page (25.11.00,25.05.04)
  • 29069 Accessibility: “Refine your search” link doesn’t have sufficient contrast (25.11.00,25.05.03)
  • 39475 WCAG 2.1: 1.4.10 – Content reflow – OPAC header menus (25.11.00,25.05.01)
    This fixes some accessibility reflow issues in dropdown menus for the OPAC when larger text sizes are used (for example, 400%). It specifies the text-wrap behaviour, and by reducing line-height values in some places it makes dropdown items more distinguishable from each other. This includes:
    – Lists: a list with a very long name now wraps, instead of staying on one line that goes off the screen.
    – User menu (when logged in): the ‘Clear’ button next to ‘Search history’ now moves down to its own line.

  • 39489 ‘Refine your search’ should have an aria-expanded attribute (25.11.00,25.05.03)

    This fixes the “Refine your search” section in the OPAC. For screen reader users on smaller screens, it now correctly announces that it is an expandable section, instead of a link (by adding an aria-expanded attribute).

    Explanation: The ‘Refine your search’ expandable section in the Koha OPAC was not clearly announced by screen readers for smaller screen sizes. This is because the expandable section was identified and announced as a link. This resulted in screen reader users incorrectly expecting a link to another page, and not being informed that it was an expandable section.

  • 38516 Closed group basket not able to open pdf file with adobe The root object is missing or invalid (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
  • 39572 Create EDIFACT order button no longer forces librarians to review EAN to select (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
    This fixes the EDIFACT order confirmation message for a basket so that the EAN information is now included on the confirmation page ([a basket for a vendor] > Create EDIFACT order > [select EAN from dropdown list], with the BasketConfirmations system preference set to ‘always ask for conformation’).

    Previously, the Create EDIFACT order action would take librarians to a page to select the EDI Library EAN. Now, the EANs are included in a dropdown list for the action. This removed the chance to review the selected EAN to confirm it was correct. In addition, some libraries have dozens of Library EANs, making the button dropdown list cumbersome to use.

  • 39980 Vendors pages are broken when using Koha as a Mojolicious application (25.11.00,25.05.04)
    This fixes vendor pages when running Koha as a Mojolicious application. You couldn’t search for or create vendors (you get a page not found error). (This is related to bug 38010 – Migrate vendors to Vue, added to Koha 25.05.)
  • 40036 Purchase suggestion status column no longer displays reason (25.11.00,25.05.01)
    This restores the display of suggestion accept or reject reasons (from the SUGGEST authorized values category) in the status column for the list of purchase suggestions. (This is related to Bug 33430 – Use REST API for suggestions tables, added in Koha 25.05.)

    It also adds classes for the SUGGEST authorized values, so that these can be styled.

  • 40067 “Receive shipments” should not open in a new tab/window (25.11.00,25.05.01)

        Enhancement: Improved handling of publication and title information in 773$d/t for analytic records

        The logic for extracting publication information now considers both MARC fields 264 and 260, ensuring better compatibility with RDA records using 264. The system prefers the 264 field with first indicator “3” (current/latest publication) when available, falling back to the first 264 or 260 otherwise.

        The extraction of title information from field 245 has been expanded to include subfields $n and $p in addition to $a and $b. This ensures multi-part works are properly distinguished by including part/section numbers and titles in the analytic entry.

        These improvements help ensure more accurate and complete linking of analytic records to their host records, especially for multipart works and RDA cataloguing practices.

        This fixes a bug with the Batch item modification tool. Previously, if library staff tried to clear the items’ not-for-loan, withdrawn, lost, or damaged status using the Batch item modification tool, the fields would not be cleared correctly. Depending on the database settings, the job might fail completely and the items wouldn’t be modified at all, or else the status would be cleared, but the status date (such as withdrawn_on or itemlost_on) would not be cleared. Now the tool can be used to clear those fields, just like any other non-mandatory field.

        This update fixes and improves how sorting works in the Checkouts table of the staff interface.

        What was wrong before

        When checkouts were grouped into “Today’s checkouts” and “Previous checkouts,” sorting by a column (like title or branch) would break the grouping and show everything in one long list.

        Some columns also sorted incorrectly because they were linked to the wrong data.

        What’s changed

        Sorting now keeps the Today/Previous grouping, making the list easier to understand.

        The Due date column is the exception — sorting by due date now gives you a clean list ordered by due date only, which is what most staff expect.

        All columns now sort the correct data.

      49. 34596 Items in transit should not show up in the holds queue (25.11.00,25.05.05)
        This patch alters the way that the real time holds queue is rebuilt when an item is returned and a hold is found.

        Previously the queue would be rebuilt on the initial checkin, and a second time when the hold was confirmed. This led to a race condition where the item would be queued in one run, while being marked in transit during the second.

        We now delay the build of the holds queue until after the hold is either confirmed or ignored and only build it once.

      50. 39180 Handle and report exception at checkout/checkin due to missing guarantor (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
        This fixes checking out, checking in, and renewing items for a patron where a guarantor is required, and they don’t have one (where the ChildNeedsGuarantor system preference is enabled).

        These actions are now completed correctly, and a warning message is now shown on the patron’s page where a guarantor is required and they don’t have one: “System preference ‘ChildNeedsGuarantor’ is enabled and this patron does not have a guarantor.”.

        Previously:
        – checking items in or out generated a 500 error message, even though the actions were successfully completed
        – attempting to renew items generated this message “Error: Internal Server Error” and the items were not renewed
        – no message was shown on the patron page warning that they needed a guarantor

        Staff members now receive clear feedback when attempting to send ILL notices to patrons who have no email address on file or haven’t configured their messaging preferences for interlibrary loan notifications.

        Previously, when clicking “Send notice to patron” for an ILL request, staff received no indication whether the notice was successfully queued for delivery. If the patron had no email address or hadn’t opted in to ILL messaging preferences, the notice would silently fail to send, leaving staff unaware that the patron wasn’t notified.

        With this enhancement:
        – A warning message now displays if the notice cannot be queued: “The requested notice was NOT queued for delivery by email, SMS”
        – A success message displays when the notice is successfully queued
        – Staff can immediately see when they need to contact the patron through alternative means (such as telephone)

        For staff: If you see the warning message, check the patron’s record to ensure:
        1. They have a valid email address on file
        2. They have enabled ILL messaging preferences (Interlibrary loan ready / Interlibrary loan unavailable) in their patron messaging preferences

      107. 34157 Exporting labels as a barcode range can cause a 500 error (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)

        This fixes the “Error 500…” message generated when printing barcode ranges using the label creator, where the layout type selected is “Bibliographic data precedes barcode” (Cataloging > Tools > Label creator).

      108. 40061 Cannot delete image from patron card creator (25.11.00,25.05.01)

        This fixes deleting patron images in the patron card creator (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Patron card creator > +New Image).

        Deleting images now works:

        • using the delete button beside each image
        • using the checkbox to select and delete the last image, if there is only one image

        This fixes the transfer of public lists to staff patrons that do not have list permissions – when attempting to transfer the list, and the staff member doesn’t have list permissions, an error message is now shown. Previously, the list could be transferred and then be edited by the staff patron without list permissions.

      115. 39558 Timestamps on biblio biblioitems and biblio_metadata are not in sync (25.11.00,25.05.01)

        This fixes the timestamp recorded in timestamp fields when in a bibliographic record is updated. The timestamp fields in the biblio, biblioitems, and biblio_metadata tables are now all updated and kept in sync when a record is updated. The timestamps being out of sync could affect reporting and updating records in other systems, such as discovery layers.

      116. 40618 The display of the field 255 (Cartographic Mathematical Data) is missing (both in intranet and OPAC) (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)

      117. 40959 LOC classification display broken (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)

        This fixes the display logic for the Library of Congress classification field (050) in the staff interface for MARC21. The separator was being shown between subfields $a and $b, instead of between additional 050 entries.

        Example:

        For an 050 with two entries:

        050 4 $aE337.5 $b.O54 2025
        050 4 $aE415.7 $b.A44 2025

        This was incorrectly shown in the staff interface as:

        LOC classification: E337.5 | .O54 2025 E415.7 | .A44 2025

        It should have been shown as:

        LOC classification: E337.5 O54 2025 | E415.7 A44 2025

      118. 39279 Terminology: Please return or renew them at the branch below as soon as possible. (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)
        This fixes the terminology used in the overdue notice (ODUE) to change ‘branch’ to ‘library’: “Please return or renew your overdue items at the library as soon as possible.”.

        Note: The notice is not automatically updated for existing installations. Update the notice manually to change the wording if required, or replace the default notice using “View default” and “Copy to template” if you have not customized the notice.

      120. 40305 Collected and change variables are inconsistent in controllers and notice templates (25.11.00,25.05.04)

        This standardizes the terminology used throughout the payment system to consistently use ‘tendered’ instead of the mixed usage of ‘collected’ and ‘tendered’ that has caused confusion over the years.

        It changes the variable names used in the code, HTML forms, and notices for the point of sale module and patron accounting – there is no change to the terms staff see on the pages in the staff interfaces.

        Note: It changes the variable names used in the RECEIPT and ACCOUNT_CREDIT notices. If you have not made any change to the default notices, they will automatically be updated. If you have customized these notices, you will need to manually update them.

      121. 30633 Move OPACHoldingsDefaultSortField to table settings configuration (25.11.00,25.05.06)
        Restore the ability to define a default sort order for the holdings table at the OPAC.
        It replaces the system preference “OPACHoldingsDefaultSortField” that had been broken for a while. Note that its value is not migrated.
      122. 38080 Sorting options for holdings table are incorrect (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
        This fixes the default sort order for the OPAC holdings table, so that the default table sorting setting is used. Previously, it was not correctly using this setting (for example, setting the shelving location as the default sort order did not work).
      123. 38455 UNIMARC XSLT Music incipit (036) try to display field 031 (as in MARC21) (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)

        This fixes the OPAC browse search feature (OpacBrowseSearch system preference, Elasticsearch only). Expanding and collapsing the search results to show the details now works, instead of nothing happening.
      125. 40080 Course reserves details search appears offscreen (25.11.00,25.05.01,24.11.08)
        This fixes the alignment of the OPAC course reserves search box – it is now on the left above the table, instead of offscreen on the right-hand side.

      134. 40782 Selections toolbar buttons should not be focusable when they are inactive (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)

        The selections toolbar on OPAC search results now properly manages keyboard focus for disabled buttons. Previously, visually disabled toolbar buttons (such as “Add to cart” or “Add to list” when no items were selected) could still receive keyboard focus, which was confusing for screen reader users.

        Disabled toolbar buttons now have tabindex="-1" applied, making them non-focusable until they become active. When items are selected and the buttons become enabled, they are automatically made focusable again.

        This enhancement improves the keyboard navigation experience and ensures that assistive technology users are not misled by inactive controls that appear to be interactive.

      135. 40803 Users cannot renew overdue items from ‘Overdue’ tab in account (25.11.00,25.05.04)

      137. 40873 AV dropdowns in OPAC don’t use lib_opac values (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)
        This fixes the value displayed in dropdown lists for authorized values in the OPAC. The value entered in the ‘Description (OPAC)’ field is now shown for authorized value dropdown lists. Previously, the value shown was what was in the ‘Description’ field.

        Example: for the SUGGEST_FORMAT authorized value category, the value in ‘Description (OPAC)’ is now shown in the dropdown list for the item type field on the purchase suggestion form in the OPAC.

Before this, if there was an error when creating a patron (for example, the wrong age for the patron category), the messaging preferences (either the default or changes made) were emptied and needed to be re-added.

      160. 40936 Add index for default patron sort order (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)
        This change introduces a new database index to improve the performance of patron searches, especially in large databases. This will prevent slow searches and potential database server issues related to sorting patrons by name and address.

        System Administrator Note:
        Applying this update will add a new index to the borrowers table. On systems with a large number of patrons, this operation can take a significant amount of time and consume considerable server resources (CPU and I/O).

        While modern database systems can often perform this operation without locking the table for the entire duration, a general slowdown of the system is expected. It is strongly recommended to run the upgrade (updatedatabase.pl) during a planned maintenance window to avoid impacting users.

        A note was also added to the system preference for those that use custom XSLT (for OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay, OPACXSLTResultsDisplay, XSLTDetailsDisplay, and XSLTResultsDisplay) – they need to update their templates to support these features for both MARC21 and UNIMARC.

        – Content Form -> Content form (181$a)
        – Content Type -> Content type (181$c)
        – Media Type Code -> Media type code (182$a)

        . Computer Carriers -> Computer carriers
        . Microform Carriers -> Microform carriers
        . Microscopic Carriers -> Microscopic carriers

        This updates a few templates so that div.container is replaced with div.container-fluid. div.container has a fixed maximum width that isn’t consistent with the rest of Koha. An example where this caused display issues – the staff interface cart: the action icons were bunched up to the left, instead of being spread evenly across the pop-up window width.

        This fixes some Bootstrap color classes.

        It removes a few instances of the “bg-*” class from templates (used in a few places such as bg-info, bg-danger, etc.) as the styles don’t really fit with the staff interface’s color palette. Examples include the circulation and fine rules page and the patron import tool page.

        In the places where we don’t want to use the corresponding alert classes, it adds some CSS so that we can safely use the “.bg-*-subtle” class to a div with “.page-section.”.

        (This is related to Bug 39274 – HTML bg-* elements are low contrast, added to Koha 25.05, and Bug 35402 – Update the OPAC and staff interface to Bootstrap 5, added to Koha 24.11.)

      319. 31930 Ignore whitespace before and after barcodes when adding items to rotating collections (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)

        This fixes adding or removing items to a rotating collection (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Rotating collections). If a barcode has a space before it, it is now ignored instead of generating an error message.

      320. 32950 MARC modification template moving subfield can lose values for repeatable fields (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)
        MARC modification templates now correctly preserve existing values when moving subfields within repeatable fields. Previously, moving subfields could cause data loss or duplication when the source subfield didn’t exist in all instances of the repeatable field.

        The problem:

        When using a MARC modification template to move a subfield within a repeatable field (for example, moving 020$z to 020$a), if some 020 fields had existing $a values but no $z values, those existing $a values would be overwritten or lost.

        Example scenario:

        Given multiple 020 fields:
        – 020$a with existing ISBN
        – 020$a with another existing ISBN
        – 020$z with cancelled ISBN (to be moved to $a)
        – 020$z with another cancelled ISBN (to be moved to $a)

        Previously, when moving 020$z to 020$a, the first two existing 020$a values would be replaced with values from the 020$z fields, causing data loss.

        What’s fixed:

        • Existing subfield values in fields that don’t contain the source subfield are now preserved
        • Source subfield values are only moved to the corresponding target positions in fields that actually contain the source subfield
        • The move operation correctly removes the source subfields after copying their values
        • Field order and other subfields are maintained correctly

        For cataloguers:

        MARC modification template “move” operations now work reliably with repeatable fields. When moving subfields, only the fields that contain the source subfield will be affected, and all other existing values in the repeatable fields will be preserved.

      321. 39423 Column checkboxes on item batch modification hide incorrect columns (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)
      322. 40332 Tools menu sidebar category not shown for users with batch_extend_due_dates only (25.11.00,25.05.02,24.11.08)
      323. 40549 Warnings generated when using Import Patrons tool (25.11.00,25.05.03,24.11.09)

      324. 40691 CCODE label not includes in case of ‘wrong place’ problem (and maybe others cases) into inventory.pl (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)

        Sponsored by BibLibre

      325. 40702 Inventory CSV export missing “title” header (25.11.00,25.05.04,24.11.10)
      326. 40843 On modborrowers.pl patron attributes should sort by the description, not the code (25.11.00,25.05.06,24.11.11)

        This patch fixes a problem in the batch patron modification tool where extended patron attributes were sorting based on the code, instead of the description.

      327. 41065 Batch patron modification results are no longer displayed (25.11.00,25.05.05)
      328. 36561 Inappropriate permission for “/api/v1/auth/password/validation” (25.11.00,25.05.04)
        This change adds a new borrower subpermission “api_validate_password” with the description “Validate patron passwords using the API”. This permission allows API borrower accounts, especially for third-parties, the ability to authenticate users without needing full create-read-update-delete (CRUD) permissions.
      329. 40622 Bug 38233 not properly applied to 24.11.x, 25.05.x, and main (25.11.00,25.05.05,24.11.11)
        ILS-DI GetRecords will now show the OPAC version of “marcxml”.

    Notes from the Release Manager

    Wow! What an adventure this has been and a great expereince for me! Similar to getting an Academy Award, there are just too many people to thank:

    • ByWater Solutions, for allowing me to take on this role. Brendan Gallagher for being so encouraging and making me belive I can actuall do this!
    • I really could not have done this without Jonathan Druart (joubu), Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen), and Martin Renvoize (ashimema) helping me every step of the way. Thanks for dealing with my somewhat annoying questions everyday. You all are the real RM’s this cycle. Thanks for the release tools you have created and maintained over the years, making this job a lot easier.
    • The ByWater Solutions development team, for taking on my extra work so I could have time to do RM things.
    • Each of the release maintainers for doing an amazing job maintaining the versions of the software that librarians use on a day to day basis.
    • All of you Koha users out there. We couldn’t do any of this without you!
    • Anyone who provided a patch, tested a bug, did QA, worked on translations, or documented Koha in the manual. Y’all are the true heroes!
