New features & Enhancements

Acquisitions

New features

  • 33105 Add vendor issues

    For vendors who, in particular, provide electronic services (e.g. ejournal providers) it is useful to be able to record service issues. This is important for recording vendor performance against contract. This could include, for example, problems logging into services, online availability etc.

Enhancements

  • 34169 Add validation for monetary input fields in acquisition module

Architecture, internals, and plumbing

Enhancements

  • 32478 Remove Koha::Config::SysPref->find since bypasses cache

  • 33043 Use process_tt in SIP modules

  • 33046 Use process_tt in C4::Reports::Guided::EmailReport

  • 33236 Move C4::Suggestions::NewSuggestion to Koha namespace

  • 33379 virtualshelfcontents.flags seems useless

    This patch set drops the column virtualshelfcontents.flag which is unused for a long time.

  • 33444 AddRenewal should take a hash of parameters

  • 33745 Speed up Koha::Object attribute accessors

  • 33776 Add inLibro in default plugin repositories

    This enhancement adds inLibro to the list of git repositories searched for plugins.

    Notes:

    • The ability to search git repositories for plugins from the manage plugins page, and then install, requires a system-level configuration change for your Koha instance(s).
    • To enable, copy the <plugin_repos> block from debian/templates/koha-conf-site.xml.in to your instance's koha-conf.xml file, remove comments, and restart.

Cataloging

Enhancements

  • 29732 Check alert in cataloguing authorities should be a static message

    This patch changes the way error form validation error messages are displayed when editing authority records. Instead of a JavaScript alert, errors are now shown on the page itself, with links in the message to take you to the corresponding field. A new "Errors" button in the toolbar allows the user to jump back to the list of errors for easy reference.

  • 31132 Add button to clear the cataloguing authority plugin form

    Sponsored by Education Services Australia SCIS

  • 32739 REST API: Extend endpoint /auth/password/validation for cardnumber

    This development adds a new attribute for identifying the patron for password validation: identifier. It expects to be passed a userid or a cardnumber in it. It the identifier doesn't match a userid, then Koha will try matching a cardnumber.

System Administration

Enhancements

  • 27424 One should be able to assign an SMTP server as the default

    We have been able to define SMTP servers in the staff interface for a while now. But to utilize them you had to set the SMTP server for each library individually. With this you can now chose to apply an SMTP server as default to all your libraries.

Bugfixes

This list includes all bugfixes since the previous major version. Most of them have already been fixed in maintenance releases

Critical bugs fixed

  • 33885 Get HTTP 500 when retrieving orders created by a non-existent (deleted) user (23.11.00,23.05.01)

    This fixes an issue that prevents the receiving of items where the user who created the order has been deleted. When clicking on 'Receive' for an item, this error was displayed: "Something went wrong when loading the table. 500: Internal Server Error."

  • 33993 The GET orders endpoint needs to allow users with order_receive permission (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 34022 Adding items on receive is broken (23.11.00,23.05.01)
  • 34080 Updating suggestion status can result in 500 error (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 32894 Objects cache methods' result without invalidation (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 33270 OAI-PMH should not die on record errors (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 33934 'No encryption_key in koha-conf.xml' needs more detail (23.11.00,23.05.01,22.11.07)

    This fixes an issue that can cause upgrades to Koha 23.05 to fail with an error message that includes 'No encryption_key in koha-conf.xml'. It also requires the configuration entry in the instance koha-conf.xml to be something other than ENCRYPTION_KEY. It is recommended that the key is generated using pwgen 32

  • 33880 "Enable two-factor authentication" fails if patron's library branchname is too long (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 33904 2FA registration fails if library name has non-latin characters (23.11.00,23.05.01,22.11.08)
  • 34028 Two factor authentication (2FA) shows the wrong values for manual entry (23.11.00,23.05.01)

    This fixes the details displayed for manually entering two-factor authentication (2FA) details into a 2FA application (when enabling 2FA). Currently, the wrong information is displayed - so you can't successfully add the account manually to your 2FA application.

  • 34146 How to limit number of copies (on additem and serials-edit)? (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 34218 XSLT parse on record directly breaks OPAC display (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)
  • 33888 Overdues with fines report displays error 500 (23.11.00,23.05.01,22.11.08)

    This fixes the 'Circulation > Overdues > Overdues with fines' listing so that it lists overdue items where there are fines, instead of generating an error.

  • 34279 overduefinescap of 0 is ignored, but overduefinescap of 0.00 is enforced (23.11.00,23.05.03)
  • 33606 Access to ERM requires parameters => 'manage_sysprefs' (23.11.00)
  • 32271 Overdue fines cap (amount) set to 0.00 when editing rule (23.11.00,23.05.03)
  • 33028 Wrongly formatted monetary amounts in circulation rules break scripts and calculations (23.11.00,23.05.03)
  • 34178 Add caching of ItemsAnyAvailableAndNotRestricted to IsAvailableForItemLevelRequest (23.11.00,23.05.02)

  • 33786 ILL requests table pagination in patron ILL history is transposing for different patrons (23.11.00,23.05.01,22.11.07)

  • 33671 Database update 22.06.00.048 breaks update process (23.11.00,23.05.02,23.05.00,22.11.08,22.11.06)

  • 33863 On receive "change currency" is always checked (23.11.00,23.05.02)

    This fixes an issue with recording the interface for the log viewer where installations run the OPAC and staff interface on the same domain name. Before this patch, if a user logged into the OPAC and then went to the staff interface and performed a logable action (such as a checkout), the interface in the log was incorrectly recorded as the OPAC.

  • 31185 Link authorities automatically doesn't detect duplicate authorities (23.11.00,23.05.02)

  • 31147 Recalls due date to the minute rather than 23:59 (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)

    Sponsored by Catalyst

    The current recalls behaviour adjusts the due date of the most appropriate checkout based on the 'recall due date interval' circulation rule. It also adjusts the due time, which is buggy behaviour. The due date should be adjusted based on the circulation rule, but the due time should remain the same.

  • 33806 Overridden checkin date not retained when CircConfirmItemParts enabled (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)

    This fixes the display of the MARC21 530 tag and subfields so that it:

    • now displays in the staff interface (was missing)
    • improves the display of the values by adding . a description/label . separators between repeated 530 tags . missing spaces before $u and between repeated $u subfields

  • 31618 Typo in POD for C4::ImportBatch::RecordsFromMARCXMLFile (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)

    This enhancement adds an aria-label to the Lists button in the OPAC masthead. It is currently not descriptive enough and doesn't identify what is displayed when clicking the button.

  • 33902 On opac-detail.tt the libraryInfoModal is outside of HTML tags (23.11.00,23.05.01,22.11.07)

    This moves the HTML for the pop-up window with the information for a library (where it exists) on the OPAC detail page inside the tag so that it validates correctly. There is no change to the appearance or behavior of the page.

  • 33933 Use restrictions appear twice for items on OPAC (23.11.00,23.05.02,22.11.08)

  • 33971 Remove support for x-koha-query header (23.11.00)

    This patch removes support for the x-koha-query HTTP header. The implementation was problematic because no URL/Base64 encoding was being expected, and it broke things. As it didn't have real usage in the codebase, we decided to remove it.

    It could eventually be restored if there was interest on it, but it wouldn't work as before anyway, because of the aforementioned issue with non-ASCII queries.

  • 33996 Authority objects missing mapping (23.11.00,23.05.02)
