+  <p>This enables breaking large Elasticsearch or Open Search indexing requests into smaller chunks (for example, when updating many records using batch modifications).</p>
+  
+  <p>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.</p>
+  
+  <p>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>).</p>

+#### Critical bugs fixed
+
+- [34479](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34479) Clear saved patron search selections after certain actions
+  >This fixes issues with patron search, and remembering the patrons selected after performing an action (such as Add to patron list, Merge selected patrons, Batch patron modification). Remembering selected patrons was introduced in Koha 22.11, bug 29971.
+  >
+  >Previously, the patrons selected after running an action were kept, and this either caused confusion, or could result in data loss if other actions were taken with new searches.
+  >
+  >Now, after performing a search and taking one of the actions available, you are now prompted with "Keep patrons selected for a new operation". When you return to the patron search:
+  >- If the patrons are kept: those patrons should still be selected
+  >- If the patrons aren't kept: the patron selection history is empty and no patrons are selected

+### 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.

+  >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).

+
+### Test Suite
