It only mentions that accounts will be locked after a number of failed attempts, instead of saying whether it is locked or not. +So while a successful attempt will seem to have an invalid username or password suggestion after the account is locked, users should be reminded that they can always reset their password or contact library staff for help. + + + +### Cataloging + +- [[21742]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21742) Incorrect count of youtube videos + +### Circulation + +- [[21641]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21641) Software error when checking out an item with a charge associated with it + +### Database + +- [[21617]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21617) statistics.ccode is not long enough (see also dbrev 18.06.00.032) + +### Installation and upgrade (command-line installer) + +- [[16690]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16690) Improve security of remote database installations + +### OPAC + +- [[21476]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21476) Incorrect filter prevents HTML5 media from playing in the OPAC +- [[21479]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21479) Removing from cart removes 2 items +- [[21771]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21771) Password recovery is broken (see 20023) + +### Staff Client + +- [[21766]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21766) Default sounds broken in 18.05 -
