+
+<h3 id="finesandfees">Fines and fees</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31121">[31121]</a> Format date range on top of cashup summary page</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This fixes the formatting of dates on the cashup summary modal (it uses the existing $datetime JS include).</p>
+</blockquote></li>
+<li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31163">[31163]</a> Sort cashup history so that newest entries are first</li>

+
+<ul>

+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This fixes an issue where barcodes with white spaces at the beginning could not be added to a list.</p>
+</blockquote></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="notices">Notices</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26689">[26689]</a> Monetary accounts notices should be definable at the credit_type/debit_type level</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This enhancement allows end users to define their account notices (print receipt and print invoice for example) at the debit type and credit type level.</p>
+  
+  <p>Simply add a new notice with code 'DEBIT_your_debit_type_code' or 'CREDIT_your_credit_type_code' to the notices and we will pick that over the existing default 'ACCOUNT_DEBIT' and 'ACCOUNT_CREDIT' notices.</p>
+</blockquote></li>

+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29922">[29922]</a> Group of libraries are now displayed in alphabetical order</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This fixes the display of library groups in the advanced search (Groups of libraries) for the OPAC and staff interface so that they correctly sort in alphabetical order. Before this:</p>
+  
+  <ul>
+  <li>OPAC: were sorted in the order library groups were added, group names with diacritics and umlauts (such as Ä or À) came last (after something starting with Z)</li>
+  <li>Staff interface: were sorted correctly, but had the same issue as the OPAC for group names with diacritics and umlauts</li>
+  </ul>

+
+<ul>

+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31213">[31213]</a> When performing a basic search with no results, repeat the search with term quoted</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This enhancement adds a second, automatic, search with the search terms between quotation marks when a search returns no results.</p>
+  
+  <p>For example, searches with special characters don't work with Elasticsearch.
+  A search for Ivy + Bean will return no results. But a search for "Ivy + Bean" will return results.</p>
+  
+  <p>With this enhancement, if a user searches for Ivy + Bean without quotation marks and gets no results, Koha will automatically search for "Ivy + Bean" and return those results.</p>
+  
+  <p>This targets both Zebra and Elasticsearch, but is more relevant for Elasticsearch.</p>

+<li><p><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27667">[27667]</a> Display the number of non-indexed records</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>This enhancement adds information about non-indexed records when using the Elasticsearch search engine on the About Koha > System information page.</p>
+  
+  <p>For example:</p>
+  
+  <p>Records are not indexed in Elasticsearch</p>
+  
+  <ul>
+  <li>Warning 1 record(s) missing on a total of 435 in index koha_kohadev_biblios.record(s).</li>

+  <p>This fix adds the last missing piece for cash management when involving transactions via a SIP client.</p>
+  
+  <p>We now understand that a SIP00 coded transaction is equal to 'CASH' in other register environments. This means we treat it as such in the cashup system and also that we now require a register for cash transactions.</p>
+  
+  <p>WARNING: This makes register a required configuration field for SIP devices when cash registers are enabled on the system.</p>

+
+Koha 21.11.12 can be downloaded from:
+
+- [Download](http://download.koha-community.org/koha-21.11.12.tar.gz)
+
+Installation instructions can be found at:
+
+- [Koha Wiki](http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation)
+- OR in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball
+
+Koha 21.11.12 is a bugfix/maintenance release.
+
+It includes 10 enhancements, 37 bugfixes.
+
+### System requirements
+
+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
+
+
+
+
+## Enhancements
+
+### Fines and fees
+
+- [[31121]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31121) Format date range on top of cashup summary page
+
+  >This fixes the formatting of dates on the cashup summary modal (it uses the existing $datetime JS include).
+- [[31163]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31163) Sort cashup history so that newest entries are first
+
+### Hold requests
+
+- [[30878]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30878) Canceling holds from 'Holds awaiting pickup' should not reset the selected tab
+
+### Lists
+
+- [[29114]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29114) Can not add barcodes with whitespaces at the beginning to the list
+
+  >This fixes an issue where barcodes with white spaces at the beginning could not be added to a list.
+
+### Notices
+
+- [[26689]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26689) Monetary accounts notices should be definable at the credit_type/debit_type level
+
+  >This enhancement allows end users to define their account notices (print receipt and print invoice for example) at the debit type and credit type level.
+  >
+  >Simply add a new notice with code 'DEBIT_your_debit_type_code' or 'CREDIT_your_credit_type_code' to the notices and we will pick that over the existing default 'ACCOUNT_DEBIT' and 'ACCOUNT_CREDIT' notices.
+
+### OPAC
+
+- [[29922]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29922) Group of libraries are now displayed in alphabetical order
+
+  >This fixes the display of library groups in the advanced search (Groups of libraries) for the OPAC and staff interface so that they correctly sort in alphabetical order. Before this:
+  >- OPAC: were sorted in the order library groups were added, group names with diacritics and umlauts (such as Ä or À) came last (after something starting with Z)
+  >- Staff interface: were sorted correctly, but had the same issue as the OPAC for group names with diacritics and umlauts
+
+### Patrons
+
+- [[7660]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7660) Enhanced messaging preferences are not set when creating a child patron from the adult
+- [[20439]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20439) SMS provider sorting
+
+### Searching
+
+- [[31213]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31213) When performing a basic search with no results, repeat the search with term quoted
+
+  >This enhancement adds a second, automatic, search with the search terms between quotation marks when a search returns no results.
+  >
+  >For example, searches with special characters don't work with Elasticsearch.
+  >A search for Ivy + Bean will return no results. But a search for "Ivy + Bean" will return results.
+  >
+  >With this enhancement, if a user searches for Ivy + Bean without quotation marks and gets no results, Koha will automatically search for "Ivy + Bean" and return those results.
+  >
+  >This targets both Zebra and Elasticsearch, but is more relevant for Elasticsearch.
+
+### Searching - Elasticsearch
+
+- [[27667]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27667) Display the number of non-indexed records
+
+  >This enhancement adds information about non-indexed records when using the Elasticsearch search engine on the About Koha > System information page.
+  >
+  >For example:
+  >
+  >Records are not indexed in Elasticsearch
+  >- Warning 1 record(s) missing on a total of 435 in index koha_kohadev_biblios.record(s).
+  >- Warning 1 record(s) missing on a total of 1705 in index koha_kohadev_authorities.
+

+
+  >This fix adds the last missing piece for cash management when involving transactions via a SIP client.
+  >
+  >We now understand that a SIP00 coded transaction is equal to 'CASH' in other register environments. This means we treat it as such in the cashup system and also that we now require a register for cash transactions.
+  >
+  >WARNING: This makes register a required configuration field for SIP devices when cash registers are enabled on the system.

+- [[30471]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30471) Typo in circulation rules - lost item fee refund policy
+- [[31039]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31039) Rebase issues lead to duplicate JS for cash summary modal printing
