49 ### Architecture, internals, and plumbing
51 - [[28200]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28200) Net::Netmask 1.9104-2 requires constructor change for backwards compatibility
53 >The code library Koha uses for working with IP addresses has dropped support for abbreviated values in recent releases. This is to tighten up the default security of input value's and we have opted in Koha to follow this change through into our system preferences for the same reason.
55 >WARNING: `koha_trusted_proxies` and `ILS-DI:AuthorizedIPs` are both affected. Please check that you are not using abbreviated IP forms for either of these cases. Example: "10.10" is much less explicit than "10.10.0.0/16" and should be avoided.
59 - [[28538]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28538) Regression - Date of birth entered without correct format causes internal server error
63 - [[28482]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28482) Floating point math prevents items from being returned
67 - [[28503]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28503) When ReservesControlBranch = "patron's home library" and Hold policy = "From home library" all holds are allowed
71 - [[28419]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28419) Page addorderiso2709.pl is untranslatable
75 - [[28487]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28487) Overdue_notices does not fall back to default language
77 >Previously overdue notices exclusively used the default language, but bug 26420 changed this to the opposite - to exclusively use the language chosen by the patron.
79 >However, if there is no translation for the overdue notice for the language chosen by the patron then no message is sent.
81 >This fixes this so that if there is no translation of the overdue notice for the language chosen by the patron, then the default language notice is used.
85 - [[28364]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28364) koha-z3950-responder breaks because of log4perl.conf permissions

109 >When trying to access the item search form in the staff interface (/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/itemsearch.pl) when not logged in, an internal server error (error code 500) is received after entering your login details. This fixes the problem so that the item search form is displayed as expected.
113 - [[28518]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28518) "Return to the last advanced search" exclude keywords if more than 3
117 - [[28350]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28350) Sort by "circ note" is broken on the patron search result view
