- [35759](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35759) Preservation module home yields a blank page

#### Other bugs fixed

- [35463](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35463) Link preservation module help to the manual

### Searching - Elasticsearch

#### Other bugs fixed

- [35086](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35086) Koha::SearchEngine::Elasticsearch::Indexer->update_index needs to commit in batches
  >This enables breaking large Elasticsearch or Open Search indexing requests into smaller chunks (for example, when updating many records using batch modifications).
  >
  >This means that instead of sending a single background request for indexing, which could exceed the limits of the search server or take up too many resources, it limits index update requests to a more manageable size.
  >
  >The default chunk size is 5,000. To configure a different chunk size, add a <chunk_size> directive to the elasticsearch section of the instance's koha-conf.xml (for example: <chunk_size>2000</chunk_size>).
  >
  >NOTE: This doesn't change the command line indexing script, as this already allows passing a commit size defining how many records to send.
- [35265](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35265) Remove drag and drop in Elasticsearch mappings
  >This removes the ability to drag and drop the order of the bibliographic and authorities search fields (Administration > Catalog > Search engine configuration (Elasticsearch)). This was removed as the feature has no effect on the search results when using Elasticsearch or OpenSearch as the search engine.
- [35618](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35618) catalogue/showelastic.pl uses deprecated/removed parameter "type"
  >This fixes the display when clicking on "Show" for the "Elasticsearch record" entry for a record in the staff interface. Before this fix, a page not found (404) was displayed when viewing a record using Elasticsearch 7 or 8, or Open Search 1 ord 2. (Note that Elasticsearch 6 is no longer supported.)

### Searching - Zebra

#### Other bugs fixed

- [35455](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35455) ICU does not strip = when indexing/searching
  >This change fixes an issue with Zebra ICU searching where titles with colons aren't properly searchable, especially when used with Analytics.
  >
  >A full re-index of Zebra is needed for this change to take effect.

### Serials

#### Other bugs fixed

- [28012](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28012) Error on saving new numbering pattern
  >This fixes the serials new numbering pattern input form so that the name and numbering formula fields are marked as required. Before this, there was no indication that these fields were required and error trace messages were displayed if these were not completed - saving a new pattern or editing an existing pattern would also silently fail.
  >
  >NOTE: Making the description field optional will be fixed in bug 31297. Until this is done, a value needs to be entered into this field - even though it doesn't indicate that it is required.
- [31297](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31297) Cannot add new subscription patterns from edit subscription page

### Staff interface

#### Other bugs fixed

- [32477](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32477) Hiding batch item modification columns isn't remembered correctly
  >This fixes showing and hiding columns when batch item editing (Cataloging > Batch editing > Batch item modification). When using the show/hide column options, the correct columns and updating the show/hide selections were not correctly displayed, including when the page was refreshed (for example: selecting the Collection column hid the holds column instead, and the shown/hide option for Collection was not selected).

- [35574](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35574) Bookings page should require only manage_bookings permissions

- [34644](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34644) Add clarifying text to sysprefs to indicate that MarcFieldsToOrder is a fallback to MarcItemFieldsToOrder
  >This updates the descriptions for system preferences MarcFieldsToOrder and MarcItemFieldsToOrder.
- [35293](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35293) Regression: Bug 33390 (QA follow-up) patch overwrote the template changes to bug 25560

- [35517](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35517) Choose correct default header search tab according to permissions
  >This fixes the display of the header search form on the staff interface home page so that staff patrons with different permissions will see the correct tab in the header search form. Previously, the default was to display the check out search - if they didn't have circulation permissions, the search tabs were initially hidden.
- [35523](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35523) Fix doubled up quotes in cash register deletion confirmation message
- [35524](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35524) Terminology: Bookseller in basket group CSV export

- [35650](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35650) 'Check the logs' string dot-inconsistent
  >This makes 'Check the logs..' messages more consistent across Koha, including the use of full stops. It also fixes up other related inconsistencies. These changes should make translations easier as well.

### Test Suite

#### Other bugs fixed

- [35507](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35507) Fix handling plugins in unit tests causing random failures on Jenkins
- [35556](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35556) selenium/administration_tasks.t failing if too many patron categories

- [35579](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35579) marcrecord2csv searches authorised values inefficiently

- [35588](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35588) marcrecord2csv retrieves authorised values incorrectly for fields
  >This fixes the CSV export of records so that authorized values are exported correctly. It ensures that the authorized value descriptions looked up are for the correct field/subfield designated in the CSV profile. Example: If the 942$s (Serial record flag) for a record has a value of "1", it was previously exported as "Yes" even though it wasn't an authorized value.
