<li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26911">[26911]</a> Update for 18936 can cause data loss if constraints are violated</li>
<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26963">[26963]</a> Improve Koha::Item::pickup_locations performance</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Koha::Item::pickup_locations is very inefficient, causing timeouts on records with large numbers of holds/items.</p>
<p>This development refactors the underlying implementation, and also makes the method return a resultset, to delay as much as possible the DB access, and thus allowing for further filtering on the callers, through chaining.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Bug 19014 prioritized the 'too soon' message for renewals to prevent sending too many notifications. When displaying information about the hold elsewhere it is desired to see the 'on hold' status even when the renewal is too soon.</p>
<p>This patch add a switch to the CanBookBeRenewed routine to decide which status has priority (i.e. whether we are checking from the renewal cron or elsewhere)</p>

Additional notes:

- Zebra or Elasticsearch is required
## Enhancements
### Architecture, internals, and plumbing
- [[26600]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26600) Missing module in Indexer.pm
### Fines and fees
- [[26506]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26506) Koha::Account::pay will fail if $userenv is not set
### Plugin architecture
- [[24633]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24633) Add support for gitlab searching of plugins
**Sponsored by** *Theke Solutions*
>The enhancement allows setting Gitlab targets for retrieving plugins.
## Critical bugs fixed
