  • 35441 Typo ‘UniqueItemsFields’ system preference

Command-line Utilities

Installation and upgrade (command-line installer)

OPAC

Other bugs fixed

Patrons

Other bugs fixed

  • 35344 Patron image upload does not warn about missing cardnumber
  • 35352 Cannot hide SMSalertnumber via BorrowerUnwantedField

Searching

Other bugs fixed

  • 35410 856 label is inconsistent between detail page and search results in XSLTs

    This updates the default staff interface and OPAC XSLT files so that “Online resources” is used as the label in search results for field 856 – Electronic Location and Access, instead of “Online access”. This matches the label used in the detail page for a record.

    It also adjusts the CSS class so OPAC and staff interface both use online_resources.

Templates

Other bugs fixed

  • 35327 Fix capitalization of language name

    This fixes the capitalization of English (english -> English) in the ILS_DI GetAvailability information page (:/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=Describe&verb=GetAvailability).

  • 35453 Wrong ‘Laserdisc)’ string on 007 builder (MARC21)
