29 <p>It includes 19 bugfixes.</p>
31 <h3 id="systemrequirements">System requirements</h3>
33 <p>You can learn about the system components (like OS and database) needed for running Koha here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/System_requirements_and_recommendations</p>
35 <h2 id="criticalbugsfixed">Critical bugs fixed</h2>
37 <h3 id="restapi">REST API</h3>
40 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28586">[28586]</a> Cannot resolve a claim</p>
43 <p>This fixes an issue with the 'Returned claims' feature (enabled by setting a value for ClaimReturnedLostValue)- resolving returned claims now works as expected.</p>
45 <p>Before this fix, an attempt to resolve a claim resulted in the page hanging and the claim not being able to be resolved.</p>
49 <h3 id="reports">Reports</h3>
52 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28523">[28523]</a> Patrons with the most checkouts (bor_issues_top.pl) is failing with MySQL 8</li>
53 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28524">[28524]</a> Most-circulated items (cat_issues_top.pl) is failing with MySQL 8</li>
56 <h2 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h2>
58 <h3 id="about">About</h3>
61 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28476">[28476]</a> Update info in docs/teams.yaml file</li>
64 <h3 id="cataloging">Cataloging</h3>
67 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28513">[28513]</a> Analytic search links formed incorrectly</li>
68 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28542">[28542]</a> Move new authority from Z39.50/SRU to a button</p>
71 <p>This makes the layout for creating new authorities consistent with creating new records - there is now a separate button 'New from Z39.50/SRU' (rather than being part of the drop-down list).</p>
75 <h3 id="finesandfees">Fines and fees</h3>
78 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28344">[28344]</a> One should be able to issue refunds against payments that have already been cashed up.</li>
81 <h3 id="notices">Notices</h3>
84 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28582">[28582]</a> Can't enqueue letter HASH(0x55edf1806850) at /usr/share/koha/Koha/ArticleRequest.pm line 123.</li>
87 <h3 id="opac">OPAC</h3>
90 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28388">[28388]</a> Search result set is lost when viewing the MARC plain view (opac-showmarc.pl)</li>
91 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28422">[28422]</a> OPAC MARC detail view doesn't correctly evaluate holdability</p>
94 <p>In the normal and ISBD detail views for a record in the OPAC the 'Place hold' link only appears if a hold can actually be placed. This change fixes the MARC detail view so that it is consistent with the normal and ISBD detail views. (Before this, a 'Place hold' link would appear for the MARC detail, even if a hold couldn't be placed, for example if an item was recorded as not for loan.)</p>
96 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28545">[28545]</a> Noisy uninitialized warn at opac-MARCdetail.pl line 313</p>
99 <p>This removes "..Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at.." warning messages from the plack-opac-error.log when accessing the MARC view page for a record in the OPAC.</p>
103 <h3 id="searching-zebra">Searching - Zebra</h3>
106 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21286">[21286]</a> Advanced search for Corporate-name creates Zebra errors</p>
109 <p>This fixes the advanced search in the staff interface so that searching using the 'Corporate name' index now works correctly when the QueryAutoTruncate system preference is not enabled. Before this a search (using Zebra) for a name such as 'House plants' would not return any results and generate error messages in the log files.</p>
113 <h3 id="templates">Templates</h3>
116 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28280">[28280]</a> Item types configuration page doesn't use Price filter for default replacement cost and processing fee</p>
119 <p>This fixes the display of 'Default replacement cost' and a
120 'Processing fee (when lost)' when adding item types so that amounts use two decimals instead of six.</p>
122 <li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28423">[28423]</a> JavaScript error on MARC modifications page</p>
125 <p>This patch makes a minor change to the MARC modifications template (Staff interface > Administration > MARC modification templates) so that the "mmtas" variable isn't defined if there is no JSON to be assigned as its value.</p>
127 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28427">[28427]</a> Terminology: Shelf should be list</li>
128 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28522">[28522]</a> Correct eslint errors in staff-global.js</li>
131 <h3 id="testsuite">Test Suite</h3>
134 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28479">[28479]</a> TestBuilder.pm uses incorrect method for checking if objects to be created exists</li>
137 <h3 id="tools">Tools</h3>
140 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27929">[27929]</a> Regex option in item batch modification is hidden for itemcallnumber if 952$o linked to cn_browser plugin</li>
141 <li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28191">[28191]</a> Update wording on batch patron deletion to reflect changes from bug 26517</li>
