Enhancements

Staff interface

  • [32173] Add count of total titles in list to staff client view

Templates

  • [32095] Remove bullets from statuses in inventory tool
  • [32319] Give header search submit button more padding

Critical bugs fixed

Architecture, internals, and plumbing

  • [32481] Rabbit times out when too many jobs are queued and the response takes too long

Cataloging

  • [32550] ‘Clear on loan’ link on Batch item modification doesn’t untick on loan items

OPAC

  • [32445] Status display of ‘not for loan’ items is broken in OPAC/staff

Staff interface

  • [31935] Serials subscription form is misaligned

    This fixes the alignment of the serials subscription form.

  • [32517] Patron search dies on case mismatch of patron category

    This fixes patron search so that searching by category will work regardless of the patron category code case (upper, lower, and sentence case). Before this, category codes in upper case were expected – where they weren’t this caused the search to fail, resulting in no search results.

    This adds information about the –queue option to the help text for the koha-worker script.

  • [32528] Koha::Item->safe_to_delete should short-circuit earlier
  • [32529] Holds in processing should block item deletion
