[28698] News for all displays in all locations
This corrects the display of news items in the OPAC - if a location was not selected when creating a news item it was displaying in all locations (news, header, right, and so on). It also now displays in the right location for any language.
[29319] Errors when doing a cataloging search which starts with a number + letter
This fixes an error that occurs in cataloging search when entering a search term with ten characters (like "7th Heaven" or "2nd editio") - Koha thinks you are entering an ISBN10 number, gets confused and delivers an error page. Searching now works as expected for ISBN13/ISBN10 (without the '-'s), title and author searches.
