46 - [[30523]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30523) Quiet console warning about missing shortcut-buttons map file
47 - [[30786]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30786) Capitalization in (Opac)AdvancedSearchTypes

52 ## Critical bugs fixed
54 ### Architecture, internals, and plumbing
56 - [[30876]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30876) recalls/recalls_to_pull.pl introduces an incorrect use of ->search in list context

75 >This fixes an error that occurred when viewing recalls log entries. The error was caused by the renaming of itemnumber, biblionumber, and branchcode attributes.
77 ### Command-line Utilities
79 - [[29325]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29325) commit_file.pl error 'Already in a transaction'
81 >This fixes the command line script misc/commit_file.pl and manage staged MARC records tool in the staff interface so that imported records are processed.
83 >The error message from The command line script was failing with this error message "DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_exec_txn_begin(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::db begin_work failed: Already in a transaction at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Biblio.pm line 303".

100 - [[30868]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30868) Modifying a patron - page not found error after fixing validation errors where the message is displayed at the top of the page
102 >This fixes a page not found error message generated after fixing validation errors when editing a patron (where the validation/error message is shown at the top of the page - below the patron name, but before the Save and Cancel buttons). (This was introduced by bug 29684: Fix warn about js/locale_data.js in 22.05.)

109 - [[30883]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30883) Authorities merge is limited to 100 biblio with Elasticsearch
111 >This fixes the hard-coded limit of 100 when merging authorities (when Elasticsearch is the search engine).

117 - [[30884]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30884) Incomplete replace of jQuery UI tabs in batch patron modification breaks the form sending
118 - [[30972]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30972) "Replace existing covers" checkbox replaces ALL local covers for a biblio, not only the specific item's covers
125 - [[29961]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29961) Horizontal scroll bar in acquisition z39.50 search should always show
127 ### Architecture, internals, and plumbing

133 - [[30842]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30842) Two-factor authentication code should be valid longer
135 >This extends the time a two-factor authentication code is valid for, in case it is not entered quickly enough. (Example: wait for the code to change, then enter the previous code - this should still work, but will not work when the code changes again.)
139 - [[30337]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30337) Holds to Pull ( pendingreserves.pl ) ignores holds if priority 1 hold is suspended

159 >This preference will allow the library to determine which library is the default for pickup location dropdowns while placing holds in the staff client. The options are logged in library, homebranch, or holdingbranch
