Architecture, internals, and plumbing

  • [29330] Koha cannot send emails with attachments using Koha::Email and message_queue table

Fines and fees

  • [27801] Entering multiple lines of an item in Point of Sale can make the Collect Payment field off

    This fixes the POS transactions page so that the total for the sale and the amount to collect are the same.

    Before this a POS transaction with multiple items in the Sale box, say for example 9 x .10 items, the total in the Sale box appears correct, but the amount to Collect from Patron is off by a cent.
