++ +This fixes the editing form for eUsage data providers (ERM > eUsage > Data providers): + - It delays the page display until the information from the counter registry is received. Previously, the data provider name was empty until the data from the registry was received. + - It removes the 'Create manually' button when editing a data provider that was created from the registry. +
+ +Fines and fees

37254 Dropdown values not cleared after pressing clear in circulation rules
+ +Sponsored by Koha-Suomi Oy
+This fixes the cause of an error (SQL::Abstract::puke():...) that can occur on the holds to pull list (Circulation > Holds > Holds to pull).
+This fixes various ESLint errors in enhanced content JavaScript files: + - Consistent indentation + - Remove variables which are declared but not used + - Add missing semicolons + - Add missing "var" declarations
+This fixes the cause of a warning message in the log files. Changing the sort order for search results in the staff interface (for example, from Relevance to Author (A-Z)) would generate an unnecessary warning message in plack-intranet-error.log: [WARN] Use of uninitialized value $f in hash element at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/SearchEngine/Elasticsearch/QueryBuilder.pm line 72 5.
+This fixes the style of the "Confirm" button in the pop-up window when recording a cashup (Tools > Transaction history for > Record cashup). The button was changed from the default button style (with a white background) to the yellow primary action button.
36129 Check in "Hide all columns" doesn't persist on item batch modification/deletion
+ + +++ +This fixes the item batch modification/deletion tool, so that if the "Hide all columns" checkbox is selected and then the page is reloaded, the checkbox is still shown as selected. Before this, the columns remained hidden as expected, but the checkbox wasn't selected.

+This fixes the "Batch description" label when editing a patron card batch (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Patron card creator > Manage > Card batches > Edit). When you click on the batch description label, the input field is now selected and you can enter the batch description. Before this, you had to click in the field to add the description.
+This enhancement adds an API endpoint for requesting a list of cash registers for a library. For example: http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/libraries/cpl/cash_registers
