Security bugs
Koha
* [30969]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30969>
Cross site scripting (XSS) attack in OPAC authority search (
opac-authorities-home.pl )
Enhancements
Cataloging
*
[30997]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30997>
"CGI::param called in list context" warning in detail.pl flooding
error log
This fixes the cause of "CGI::param called in list context from"
warning messages that appear in the log files when viewing
record detail pages in the staff interface.
Templates
*
[30786]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30786>
Capitalization in (Opac)AdvancedSearchTypes
This fixes the descriptions for the AdvancedSearchTypes and
OpacAdvancedSearchTypes system preferences - sentence case is
now used for "..Shelving location..".
Critical bugs fixed
Cataloging
*
[30234]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30234>
Serial local covers don't appear in the staff interface for other
libraries with SeparateHoldings
This fixes the display of item-specific local cover images in
the staff interface. Before this, item images were not shown for
holdings on the record's details view page.
Circulation
* [29504]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29504>
Confirm item parts requires force_checkout permission (checkouts tab)
Lists
* [30925]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30925>
Creating public list by adding items to new list creates a private list
Patrons
*
[31005]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31005>
Cannot edit patrons in other categories if an extended attribute is
mandatory and limited to a category
This fixes an error when a mandatory patron attribute limited to
a specific patron category was causing a '500 error' when
editing a patron not in that category.
REST API
* [30677]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30677>
Unknown column 'biblioitem.title' in 'where clause' 500 error in API
/api/v1/acquisitions/orders
Searching - Elasticsearch
*
[30883]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30883>
Authorities merge is limited to 100 biblio with Elasticsearch
This fixes the hard-coded limit of 100 when merging authorities
(when Elasticsearch is the search engine). When merging
authorities where the term is used over 100 times, only the
first 100 authorities would be merged and the old term deleted,
irrespective of the value set in the AuthorityMergeLimit system
preference.
Other bugs fixed
Hold requests
* [12630]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12630>
Prioritizing "Hold starts on date" -holds causes all other holds to
be prioritized as well!
* [28529]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28529>
Item type-constrained biblio-level holds should honour max_holds as
item-level do
* [30207]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30207>
Librarians with only "place_holds" permission can no longer update
hold pickup locations
I18N/L10N
*
[30958]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30958>
OPAC Overdrive search result page broken for translations
*Sponsored by* /Melbourne Athenaeum Library, Australia/
Notices
*
[28355]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28355> Add
warning note about Email SMS driver option for SMSSendDriver
This updates the text for the SMSSendDriver system preference.
The Email SMS driver option is no longer recommended unless you
use a dedicated SMS to Email gateway. Many mobile providers
offer inconsistent support for the email to SMS gateway
(sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't), which can cause
frustration for patrons.
OPAC
*
[30989]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30989>
Tags with some special characters are not encoded right
This fixes tags with special characters (such as +) so that the
searching returns results when the tag is selected (from the
record detail view in the OPAC and staff interface, and from the
search results, tag cloud, and list pages in the OPAC).
Staff Client
* [30970]
<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30970>
holdst columns don't match actual columns in 'Holds waiting'
