### 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

## New features

### Authentication

- [28786] Two-factor authentication for staff client - TOTP

  Sponsored by Orex Digital

  > This new feature adds an initial optional implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) to improve security when logging into the staff interface.

  > This implementation uses time-based, one-time passwords (TOTP) as the second factor, letting librarians use an application to handle it and provide them the code they need when logging in.

  > It is enabled using the new system preference "TwoFactorAuthentication".

  > Librarians can then enable 2FA for their account from More > Manage Two-Factor authentication. To setup: 1) Scan the QR code with an authenticator app. 2) Enter the one time code generated. For future logins, librarians are prompted to enter the authenticator code after entering their normal login credentials.

  > Any authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, andOTP, and many others can be used. Applications that enable backup of their 2FA accounts (either cloud-based or automatic) are recommended.

- [29924] Introduce password expiration to patron categories

### Circulation

- [19532] Recalls for Koha

  > This new feature introduces the ability for patrons to place a recall on an item from the OPAC detail. Patrons can see details of their requested recalls in the OPAC and can cancel the recall before it is returned.

  > Librarians can view and administer the recalls in the Circulation interface of the staff interface which displays a list of recalls, overdue recalls, recalls awaiting pickup, recalls to pull, and old recalls.

  > The amount of time the recalled item has to be returned and the amount of time it will wait for pickup can be set in circulation and fine rules in the unit of days.

  > After an item is recalled it cannot be renewed. When the item is returned the recall can be confirmed or cancelled.

  > Recalls are marked as overdue by the overdue_recalls.pl cronjob or expired by the expired_recalls.pl cronjob. See https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Catalyst_IT_Recalls

### Patrons

- [6815] Capture member photo via webcam

  > Adds the option to take a photo of the patron via a webcam for patron photos.

### System Administration

- [13952] Import and export of authority types

  Sponsored by Catalyst

  > This feature allows the import and export of authority types to match the capabilities of biblio frameworks.

### Templates

- [30136] Add back to top button when scrolling

## Enhancements

### About

- [30544] Add font awesome version to licenses page

### Acquisitions

- [16258] Add a preference to turn EDIFACT off

- [26296] Use new table column selection modal for OPAC suggestion fields

  > This changes the selection of values for OPACSuggestionUnwantedFields and OPACSuggestionMandatoryFields from drop down lists to a modal.

- [27212] Add column configuration to the acquisitions home page

- [28082] Add acquisitions toolbar to vendors on vendor search page

  > This patch updates the vendor search results page in acquisitions so that a button toolbar is shown for each vendor in search results. This gives quick access to operations for each vendor, like editing the vendor, adding a basket, or receiving a shipment.

  > Now the number of open baskets and subscriptions is shown for each vendor in the search result, linking to the details of those entries.

  > Inactive vendors are now styled differently than active vendors in order to improve clarity.

- [30130] Allow setting EDI type at the vendor level

  > There are two predominant competing EDI standards, EDItEUR and BiC, with subtle differences in how they interpret some EDI message fields.

  > This patch allows administrators to pick which standard the Vendor is conforming to rather than using a hardcoded and un-maintained SAN mapping in the module.

- [30135] We should allow configuration of whether EDI LSQ segments map to 'location' or 'collection'

  > EDItEUR describes the LSQ segment as "A code or other designation which identifies stock which is to be shelved in a specified sequence or collection."

  > In Koha, this could be interpreted as either 'location' or 'ccode'; This bug makes that configurable for each EDI vendor, defaulting to location as that was the previously hard coded configuration.

- [30438] Add select all/clear buttons to invoices.tt open and closed tables

- [30510] Add a Patron reason column to the suggestion table in the staff interface

  > This adds the patron reason for a suggestion to the suggestions summary table in the staff interface.

### Architecture, internals, and plumbing

- [26019] Koha should set SameSite attribute on cookies
- [26704] Koha::Item store triggers should utilise Koha::Object::Messages for message passing

- [27266] Move C4::Biblio::GetMarcAuthors to Koha namespace

  Sponsored by Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden-Württemberg (BSZ)

  > This enhancment moves C4::Biblio::GetMarcAuthors to Koha::Biblio->get_marc_authors. This is so the method can be used in templates and notices.

- [27344] Implement Elastic's update_index_background using Koha::BackgroundJob
- [27783] Introduce background job queues
- [28416] Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP is using 10Mo of RAM

- [28617] misc/kohalib.pl no longer useful

  > This enhancement removes the script misc/kohalib.pl.

  > The purpose of this script was to load the relevant Koha lib for the different scripts (installation, cronjob, CLI, etc.). However, it is not used consistently and we prefer to rely on PERL5LIB.

  > If upgrading ancient Koha systems from tarballs double-check that PERL5LIB is set in crontab.

  > - Has no current checkouts
  > - Is not the system-configured anonymous user

  > It also adapts the DELETE /patrons route to use the newly introduced Koha::Patron->safe_to_delete method.

- [29746] Add a handy Koha::Result::Boolean class

  > This development introduces a new library, Koha::Result::Boolean, that will be used in method that need to return a boolean, but could also want to carry some more information such as the reason for a 'false' return value.

  > This enhancement gives notices access to a patron's messaging preferences. For example, a hold slip could contain a line if the patron has requested SMS notifications for waiting holds, or perhaps phone notifications.

  > Instead of calling the (deprecated) Google Charts API and exposing our secret, we create the image ourself and push it as a data uri in the src attribute of the image (inline image).

- [29925] Add a 'set new password' page for patron's with expired passwords
- [29926] Add ability for superlibrarians to edit password expiration dates

### Cataloging

- [26587] Cache libraries in Branches TT plugin to improve performance

  Sponsored by Lund University Library

- [29391] Improve output of reservoir search

  > This patch makes the cataloging reservoir search results a configurable DataTable. This adds column configuration, export, and sorting. The empty edition and date columns are removed, and an import data column is added.

  > This fixes the cleanup_database script so that the option to delete unverified self registrations (del-unv-selfreg) works. It also adds this option to the standard crontab, defaulting to 14 days (the default notice says unverified registrations will expire "shortly").

  > Note: If you don't use self registration with a verification email, this does not affect you. If you do use self registration, check the system preferences and settings - particularly PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory.

- [30511] Don't lock entire database when dumping Koha instance

  Sponsored by Catalyst

### Fines and fees

- [28138] Add system preference to make the payment type required
- [29759] Refund credit when cancelling an article request

### Hold requests

- [27868] Adding the Expiration Date to the Holds Awaiting Pickup report

  > This enhancement makes each hold's expiration date visible on the Holds Awaiting Pickup page. Since this is the date Koha uses to decide when a waiting hold should expire and be cancelled, making it visible decreases confusion.

- [28377] Use the API to suspend/resume holds

  > This enhancement changes the patron page (detail and circulation) so that is uses the API to suspend and resume holds on the holds tab.

  > It also removes the svc/hold/{resume|suspend} files as they are no longer used.

- [29596] Add Yiddish language

  Sponsored by Universidad Nacional de San Martín

  > This enhancement adds the Yiddish (יידיש) language to Koha.

  > This patchset also allows superlibrarian users, or those with the 'edit_public_lists' sub-permission, to edit the configuration of existing public lists.

- [28716] Hide toolbar and opaccredits when printing lists

  > This removes the toolbar (Advanced Search | Authority Search | etc) and opaccredits (where set) from printed lists. The printed lists are cleaner without these.

### MARC Authority data support

- [11083] Authority search result display in staff interface should be XSLT driven

  > This enhancement enables customising the authority search results summary in the staff interface using XSLT (for MARC21 and UNIMARC).

  > Key features;

  > - Use the new system preference AuthorityXSLTResultsDisplay to set the location of the XSLT file, either the full path to a file on the Koha server or a URL.
  > - The system preference value can contain {langcode} and {authtypecode} which will be replaced by the appropriate value.

  > This patch adds a system preference, OPACSuggestionAutoFill, which enables a feature within the OPAC Purchase Suggestions where a user can enter an ISBN and use a Google API to pull the relevant data and input it into the form.

- [15594] Sequence of MARC 260 subfields different on XSLT result list and detail page

  > This enhancement improves the display of MARC field 260 in the detail page for the OPAC and staff interface by using the order of subfields in the record. Previously, $a$b$a$b would display as aabb.

- [17018] Split AdvancedSearchTypes for staff and OPAC

  > Add a new system preference, OpacAdvancedSearchTypes, as an OPAC-specific version of the AdvancedSearchTypes preference. Values from AdvancedSearchTypes are copied to OpacAdvancedSearchTypes so that behavior is consistent.

- [24220] Convert OpacMoreSearches system preference to news block

- [24221] Convert OPACMySummaryNote system preference to news block

  > OPACMySummaryNote system preference is converted to a news block.

- [24630] UNIMARC XSLT Update for bug 7611
- [27613] Pipe separated contents are hard to customize (OPAC)

- [28876] No renewal before advisory text not wrapped in selector

  > This enhancement adds more `<span>`s to the user summary page in the OPAC so that information about the renewal status can be targeted with CSS or JS. It adds each `<span>` with a "usr-msg" class for general styling and a specific class for each renewal message, for example:

  > `<span class="usr-msg no-renew-hold">Not renewable <span class="renewals">(on hold)</span></span>`

  > These classes are added:

### Plugin architecture

- [29787] Add plugin version to plugin search results

- [30072] Add more holds hooks

  > This development adds plugin hooks for several holds actions. The hook is called after_hold_action and has two parameters

  > - action: containing a string that represents the action, possible values: fill, cancel, suspend and resume.
  > - payload: A hashref containing a hold key, which points to the Koha::Hold object.

- [30180] Deprecate after_hold_create hook

  > The 'after_hold_create' hook is deprecated and scheduled for removal in the next major release.

  > If you find deprecation warnings for some plugin in your logs, please ask the plugin authors to update it to use the new 'after_hold_action' hook instead.

- [30410] Add a way for plugins to register background tasks

### REST API

- [28020] Error responses should return a code

  > This development makes our error responses include an `error_code` that will be documented on each route, allowing better API usage on error conditions.

- [29620] Move the OpenAPI spec to YAML format

  > This enhancement moves all the Koha REST API specification from json to YAML format. It also corrects two named parameters incorrectly in camelCase to sanake_case (fundidPathParam => fund_id_pp, vendoridPathParam => vendor_id_pp).

- [30674] x-koha-override should use collectionFormat: csv

### Reports

- [5697] Automatic linking in guided reports

  > This patch adds a feature to automatically link certain database columns in report results. If your report returns itemnumber, biblionumber, cardnumber, or borrowernumber, that cell in the report will contain a menu:

  > - borrowernumber: View, edit, check out
  > - cardnumber: Check out
  > - itemnumber: View, edit
  > - biblionumber: View, edit

  > A link at the top of the report results will toggle the new menus on and off in case you don't want to see the menus. Your choice will persist until you log out.

  > The feature works with column name placeholders, so if you want the table column to be a human readable label you can still get automatic linking, for example: [[items.itemnumber|Item number]]

- [29767] Add cash registers, debit and credit types to report runtime parameters

### SIP2

- [20517] Use the "sort bin" field in SIP2 Checkin Response

- [29874] Remove unused method C4::SIP::ILS::Item::fill_reserve

- [29936] Add ability to disable hold capture via SIP checkin

  Sponsored by Cheshire Libraries Shared Services

  > This enhancement adds a new `holds_get_captured` configuration option to SIP accounts.

  > The new option defaults to enabled, as has been the case since bug 3638 was pushed. However, it allows for disabling hold capture so that items are not automatically assigned to holds at SIP check-in; The alerts messages will continue to show, however, to allow items to be put to one side and then captured by a subsequent staff check-in.

### Searching

- [20689] Improve usability of Item search fields administration page
- [22605] Adding the option to modify/edit searches on the staff interface

### Staff Client

- [17748] Show due date in item search results

  Sponsored by Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden-Württemberg (BSZ)

- [21225] Add Syndetics cover images to staff client

- [27631] Accessibility: Staff interface - `h1` on each page is Logo but should be page description/title

  Sponsored by Catalyst

  > This enhancement, as part of improving the accessibility of the staff interface, makes the main topic/title of the page the `h1` rather than the logo.

- [29575] Add a JS render function equivalent of the patron-title.inc TT include

  > This enhancement adds a re-usable javascript render function that accepts a Koha REST APIi Patron object and outputs the HTML representation.

- [30081] Display item type in patron's holds table

### System Administration

- [7374] Add remote image option for authorized values

  > This patch updates authorized values management to add the option of specifying a remote image to be associated with an authorized value. This functionality matches what was already available for item types: The ability to specify a full URL to an image file. Modifying a collection code with a remote image will make the image visible on catalog advanced search pages in the OPAC and staff interface when the option to select a collection is enabled.

- [29626] Map biblioitems.place to 264$a by default (MARC21)

### Test Suite

- [30125] Add full-stack tests for API pagination
- [30446] Add a test for GetTagsLabels

### Tools

- [14393] Add collection code filter to inventory

- [20076] Overdues email to library for patrons without email should be optional

  > Currently, two print notices are generated when running overdue_notices.pl if a patron does not have an email address:

  > - a print overdue notice for the patron, and
  > - an email message to the library with all the print versions of the overdue notices.

  > Depending on a library's work processes, they may want both or only the patron print overdue notice generated.

  > This enhancement adds a new system preference, EmailOverduesNoEmail, that allows libraries to choose whether to send or not send overdue notices for patrons without an email address to library staff. The default is set to send, as this preserves the current behaviour.

  Sponsored by University Lyon 3

  > This enhancement adds the item call number to the ILS-DI GetAvailability output. This is useful for libraries that use discovery tools as patrons often don't check further for the call number, and then they don't have it when they look for the item.

## Critical bugs fixed

### Architecture, internals, and plumbing

- [29631] 21.06.000.12 may fail

  > This fixes an issue when upgrading from 21.05.x to 21.11 - the uniq_lang unique key is failing to be created because several rows with the same subtag and type exist in database table language_subtag_registry.

- [29684] Warning File not found: js/locale_data.js
- [29804] Koha::Hold->is_pickup_location_valid explodes if empty list of pickup locations

### Circulation

- [29495] Issue link is lost in return claims when using 'MarkLostItemsAsReturned'

- [29637] AutoSwitchPatron is broken since Bug 26352

  > This fixes an issue introduced by bug 26352 in 21.11 that caused the AutoSwitchPatron system preference to no longer work. (When AutoSwitchPatron is enabled and a patron barcode is scanned instead of a book, it automatically redirects to the patron.)

- [30099] Error when accessing circulation.pl without patron parameter
- [30104] Holds to pull is broken
- [30114] Koha offline circulation will always cancel the next hold when issuing item to a patron
- [30222] Auto_renew_digest still sends every day when renewals are not allowed

- [30520] Command line stage and import broken

### Database

- [29605] DB structure may not be synced with kohastructure.sql

- [30600] Recalls sync problem between DBIx and kohastructure.sql

  Sponsored by Catalyst

- [30852] article_requests missing index on debit_id

### Fines and fees

- [27801] Entering multiple lines of an item in Point of Sale can make the Collect Payment field off

  > This fixes the POS transactions page so that the total for the sale and the amount to collect are the same.

  > Before this a POS transaction with multiple items in the Sale box, say for example 9 x .10 items, the total in the Sale box appears correct, but the amount to Collect from Patron is off by a cent.

- [29385] Add missing cash register support to SIP2

- [29457] Fee Cancellation records the wrong manager_id

  > Prior to this patch inadvertently the field borrowers.userid was used to fill accountslines.manager_id. This should have been borrowernumber.

  > This report fixes that and prints a generic warning.

- [30003] Register entries doubled up if form fails validation on first submission
- [30139] Point of sale sets wrong 'Amount being paid' with CurrencyFormat = FR
- [30346] Editing circ rule with Overdue fines cap (amount) results in data loss and extra fines

### Hold requests

- [29136] Patron search on request.pl has performance and display issues

  > This fixes the performance and display of patron search results when placing a hold from a record details page using the staff interface. Patron results are now paginated and all the results are now available - previously all results were listed on one page, which could cause performance issues.

- [29349] Item-level holds should assume the same pickup location as bib-level holds

  > Up until Koha 20.11 the pickup location when placing item-level holds was the currently logged-in library.

  > From Koha 21.05 the holding branch was used as the default.

  > This restores the previous behaviour so that the logged-in library (if a valid pickup location) is selected as the default pickup location for item-level holds. When it is not, an empty dropdown is used as a fallback.

- [29736] Error when placing a hold for a club without members
- [29737] Cannot suspend holds

- [29906] When changing hold parameters over API (PUT) it forcibly gets to "suspended" state

  > The PATCH/PUT /api/v1/holds/{hold_id} API endpoint allows for partial updates of Holds. Priority and Pickup Location are both available to change (though it is preferred to use the routes specifically added for manipulating them).

  > Suspend_until can also be added/updated to add or lengthen an existing suspension, but the field cannot be set to null to remove the suspension at present.

  > This patch restores the suspen_until function to ensure suspensions are not triggered by unrelated pickup location or priority changes.

- [29969] Cannot update hold list after holds cancelled in bulk
- [30266] Holds marked waiting with a holdingbranch that does not match can cause loss of pickup locations
- [30395] Internal server error at reserve/request.pl on a biblio with non-ISO formatted date in publicationyear
- [30432] get_items_that_can_fill needs to specify table for biblionumbers
- [30583] Hold system broken for translated template

### Label/patron card printing

- [24001] Cannot edit card template

  > This fixes errors that caused creating and editing patron card templates and printer profiles to fail.

### Lists

- [29669] Uninitialized value warnings when XSLTParse4Display is called

### Notices

- [29586] "Hold reminder" notice doesn't show in messaging preferences in new installation

  > This fixes an issue with the installer files that meant "Hold reminder" notices were not shown in messaging preferences for new installations.

- [30354] AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST notices are not generated if patron set to receive notice via SMS and no SMS notice defined

  > If an SMS notice is not defined for AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST and a patron has selected to receive a digest notification by SMS when items are automatically renewed, it doesn't generate a notice (even though the item(s) is renewed). This fixes the issue so that an email message is generated.

### OPAC

- [28955] Add option to set default branch from Apache

  > Add support for OPAC_BRANCH_DEFAULT as an environment option. It allows setting a default branch for the anonymous OPAC session such that you can display the right OPAC content blocks prior to login if you have set up per branch website.

- [29544] A patron can set everybody's checkout notes
- [29696] "Suggest for purchase" missing biblio link

- [30084] Remove dependency of liblocale-codes-perl
- [30209] Upgrade 'libdbd-sqlite2-perl' package to 'libdbd-sqlite3-perl'

### Patrons

- [28943] Lower the risk of accidental patron deletion by cleanup_database.pl

  > If you use self registration but you do not use a temporary self registration patron category, you should actually clear the preference PatronSelfRegistrationExpireTemporaryAccountsDelay.

- [30325] (Bug 30098 follow-up) Broken patron search redirect when one result
- [30576] DefaultPatronSearchFields no longer takes effect
- [30603] Sort 1 and Sort 2 on patron form are on longer free text when AV categories are empty
- [30622] Search for cardnumber needs to go directly to patron record when placing a hold

### Plugin architecture

- [29931] Script plugins-enable.pl should check the cookie status before running plugins

### REST API

- [29018] Deleting patrons from REST API doesn't do any checks or move to deletedborrowers

  > This fixes the REST API route for deleting patrons so that it now checks for guarantees, debts, and current checkouts. If any of these checks fail, the patron is not deleted.

- [29877] MaxReserves should be enforced consistently between staff interface and API
- [30133] Pagination broken on pickup_locations routes when AllowHoldPolicyOverride=1
- [30165] Several q parameters break the filters
- [30408] API and OpenAPI versions should be string in spec
- [30663] POST /api/v1/suggestions won't honor suggestions limits

### Reports

  > This patch corrects an issue with the Holds to Pull report in which an incorrect barcode number could be shown for an item-level hold. The correct barcode will now be shown.

- [30532] guided_reports.pl has a problem
- [30551] Cash register report shows wrong library when paying fees in two different libraries

### SIP2

- [29754] Patron fines counted twice for SIP when NoIssuesChargeGuarantorsWithGuarantees is enabled

- [29755] SIP2 code does not correctly handle NoIssuesChargeGuarantees or NoIssuesChargeGuarantorsWithGuarantees

  > This fixes SIP2 so that it correctly determines if issues should be blocked for patrons when the NoIssuesChargeGuarantees and NoIssuesChargeGuarantorsWithGuarantees system preferences are set. Currently, it only checks the noissuescharge system preference as the limit for charges, and not the other 'No Issues charge' system preferences.

  > Budget 2021 -- Book -- -- Adult fiction

- [28855] Purging suggestions test should not be on timestamp

  > This changes the date field that cronjob misc/cronjobs/purge_suggestions.pl uses to calculate the number of days for deleting accepted or rejected suggestions. It now uses the managed on date, as the last updated date that was used can be changed by other database updates.

- [29785] Koha::Object->messages must be renamed

- [29806] ->pickup_locations should always be called in scalar context

  > The Koha::Biblio->pickup_locations and Koha::Item->pickup_location methods don't always honour list context. Because of this, when used, they should assume scalar context. If list context was required, the developer needs to explicitly chain a ->as_list call.

- [29809] StockRotationItems->itemnumber is poorly named
- [29812] C4::Context not included, but used in Koha::Token
- [29865] Wrong includes in circ/returns.pl

  > It also:

  > - adds a "Subscriptions" column in the batch deletion records tool with the number of subscriptions and a link to the search page with all the subscriptions for the record, and
  > - adds a button in the toolbar to enable selecting only records without subscriptions.

- [25251] When a record has no items click delete all does not need an alert
- [26328] incremental barcode generation fails when incorrectly converting strings to numbers

- [28853] Textarea in biblio record editor breaks authority plugin

  > This fixes an issue when adding or editing record subfields using the authority plugin and it has a value with more than 100 characters. (When a subfield has more than 100 characters it changes to a text area rather than a standard input field, this caused JavaScript issues when using authority terms over 100 characters.)

- [29511] While editing MARC records, blank subfields appear in varying order
- [29962] Table of items on item edit page missing columns button

- [30159] Fix display of validation of important fields when biblio cataloguing

- [30667] Holds reminder cronjob (holds_reminder.pl) never uses default letter template
- [30776] import_webservice_batch.pl cronjob completely broken

### Database

- [30128] language_subtag_registry.description is too short
- [30449] Missing FK constraint on borrower_attribute_types
- [30481] Drop unique constraint deleteditemsstocknumberidx for deleteditems
- [30498] Enum search_field.type should contain year in kohastructure
- [30565] Field stockrotationrotas.description should be NOT NULL, title UNIQUE
- [30572] Field search_marc_to_field.sort needs syncing too
- [30620] Add a warning close to /*!VERSION lines in kohastructure.sql

### Fines and fees

- [28481] Register details "Older transactions" search does not include the selected day in the "To" field in date range

  > This fixes the search and display of older transactions in the cash register so that items from today are included in the results. Previously, transactions for the current day were incorrectly not included.

- [28663] One should not be able to apply a discount to a VOID accountline

  > This removes the display of the 'Apply discount' button for VOID transactions.

- [29952] Filter Paid Transactions Broken on Transactions tab in Staff

  > This fixes the "Filter paid transactions" link in the staff interface on the Patron account > Accounting > Transactions tab. It now correctly filters the list of transactions - only transactions with an outstanding amount greater than zero are shown ("Show all transactions" clears the filter). Before this fix, clicking on the link didn't do anything and didn't filter any of the transactions as expected.

- [30132] overdue_notices.pl POD is incorrect regarding passing options

### Hold requests

- [21652] reserves.waitingdate is set to current date by printing new hold slip
- [21729] When reverting a hold the expirationdate should be reset
- [29043] Items are processed but not displayed on request.pl before a patron is selected
- [29103] reserves.desk_id for desk of waiting hold only updates when printing new hold slip

- [29115] Placing a club hold is not showing warnings when unable to place a hold

  > This fixes placing club holds so that checks are correctly made and warning messages displayed when patrons are debarred or have outstanding fees and charges.

- [29338] Reprinting holds slip with updated expiration date

  > This patch adds a "Print hold/transfer" button to request.tt so staff can reprint hold/transfer slips without re-checking an item.

- [29474] Automatic renewals cronjob is slow on systems with large numbers of reserves
- [29553] Holds: Can't call method "notforloan" on an undefined value when placing a hold
- [29704] Holds reminder emails should allow configuration for a specific number of days
- [29976] (Bug 21729 followup) fix holds unit tests
- [30085] Improve performance of CanItemBeReserved
- [30207] Librarians with only "place_holds" permission can no longer update hold pickup locations
- [30577] Item specific holds location can be missed when placing title level holds
- [30693] Javascript broken on request.pl
- [30710] Background tasks can be called multiple times on batch item deletion

### I18N/L10N

- [29040] Uninitialized value warning in Languages.pm

  > This removes the cause of the warning message "Use of uninitialized value $interface in concatenation (.) or string at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Languages.pm line 121." when editing item types.

- [29585] "Go to field" in cataloguing alerts is not translatable

  > This fixes the 'Go to field' and 'Errors' strings in the basic MARC editor to make them translatable. (This is a follow-up to bug 28694 that changed the way validation error messages are displayed when using the basic MARC editor in cataloging.)

- [29588] Yesterday and tomorrow in datepicker don't translate

  > This fixes "or", "Yesterday", "Today" and "Tomorrow" in the flatpickr date selector so they can be translated. (This was because _ was used when _ should have been used (_ is for .js files only)).

- [29589] Translation issue with formatting in MARC overlay rules page

### Installation and upgrade (command-line installer)

- [29813] skeleton.pl missing semicolon
- [30366] Warn when running automatic_item_modification_by_age.pl

### Installation and upgrade (web-based installer)

- [29837] JS error during installer

### Lists

- [29601] The list download option ISBD is useless when you cleared OPACISBD

### Notices

- [17648] ACCTDETAILS notice doesn't show in the notices tab in staff
- [29230] Patron's messages not accessible from template notices

- [29557] Auto renew notices should handle failed renewal due to patron expiration

  > This enhancement updates the default auto-renewal notices to tell patrons that their renewals have failed because their account has expired.

- [29943] Fix typo in notices yaml file
- [30509] Accordion on letter.tt is broken

### OPAC

- [17127] Can't hide MARC21 500 and others with NotesToHide

  > This fixes hiding notes fields (5XX in MARC21 and 3XX in UNIMARC) using NotesToHide. Before this you could hide one field and it worked. However, when hiding multiple fields one field would still always be visible. Now hiding notes fields works as expected.

- [27627] Fix invalid HTML in OPAC results XSLT: change spans to divs

- [29036] Accessibility: OPAC buttons don't have sufficient contrast

  > This improves the accessibility of the OPAC by increasing the contrast ratio for buttons, making the button text easier to read.

  > As part of this change the OPAC SCSS was modified so that a "base theme color" variable is defined which can be used to color button backgrounds and similar elements. It also moves some other colors into variables and removes some unused CSS.

- [29320] Use OverDrive availability API V2
- [29481] Terminology: Collection code

- [29482] Terminology: This item belongs to another branch.

  > This replaces the word "branch" with the word "library" for a self-checkout message, as per the terminology guidelines. ("This item belongs to another branch." changed to "This item belongs to another library".)

- [29556] MARC21slim2MODS.xsl broken by duplicate template name "part"

  > This fixes an error when making an unAPI request in the OPAC using the MODS format. A 500 page error was displayed instead of an XML file. Example URL: http://your-library-opac-domain/cgi-bin/koha/unapi?id=koha:biblionumber:1&format=MODS

- [29603] Fix responsive behavior of facets menu in OPAC search results
- [29604] Term highlighting adds unwanted pseudo element in the contentblock of OPAC details page

- [29611] Clubs enrollment layout problem in the OPAC

  > This fixes a minor HTML issue with the clubs enrollment form in the OPAC. The "Finish enrollment" button is now positioned correctly inside the bordered area and uses standard colors.

- [29685] 'If all unavailable' state for 'on shelf holds' makes holds page very slow if there's a lot of items on opac
- [29686] Adapt OverDrive for new fulfillment API
- [29706] When placing a request on the opac, the user is shown titles they cannot place a hold on

- [29795] If branch is mandatory on patron self registration form, the pull down should default to empty

  > Creates an empty value and defaults to it when PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField includes branchcode. This forces self registering users to make a choice for the library.

- [29802] biblionumber in OPACHiddenItems breaks opac lists
- [29840] opac-reserve explodes if invalid biblionumber is passed
- [30191] Authority search result list in the OPAC should use 'record' instead of 'biblios'
- [30220] Purchase suggestion defaults to first library
- [30244] Hide lost items not respected in OPAC results XSLT
- [30426] suggestion service missing Auth and Output imports
- [30550] OPAC recalls page tries to use jQueryUI datepicker
- [30613] Hide RSS feed link when viewing private list in the OPAC
- [30688] Error in path to CSS background image
- [30689] Incorrect Babeltheque setting can cause console warning

### Packaging

- [26685] Move Starman out of debian/control.in and into cpanfile
- [30252] lower version of 'Locale::XGettext::TT2' to 0.6

### Patrons

- [22993] Messaging preferences not set for patrons imported through API

- [27812] Remove the ability to transmit a patron's plain text password over email

  > This bugfix/enhancement improves the default security of Koha by removing the pass of the plain text password to the ACCTDETAILS notice on patron creation.

  > WARNING: You will need to update your notice template if you were relying on `<<borrowers.password>>` in this notice.

- [28576] Add patron image in patron detail section does not specify image size limit

  > This updates the add patron image screen to specify that the maximum image size is 2 MB. If it is larger, the patron image is not added.

- [29576] Add street type to fields which can be copied from guarantor to guarantee
- [30090] Don't export action buttons from patron results
- [30098] Patron search redirects when one result on any page of results
- [30175] Digest options not enabled when populating messaging preferences for a selected category during patron entry
- [30177] When changing patron categories of existing accounts it should not reset message prefs without warning

- [30214] Send WELCOME notice for new patrons added via self registration

  > This enhancement extends the 'AutoEmailOpacUser' feature to also send WELCOME notices to users who register via the opac self registration system.

- [30404] Enlarge all patron searches pop-up
- [30405] Style of address in patron search result are 110%
- [30485] Searching all patrons from the header does not display the patron search view
- [30607] Enable 'Clear filter' option on DataTables Search for patron searches

### Plugin architecture

- [25285] Wrong message when plugin required Koha version isn't met

### REST API

- [29503] GET /patrons should use Koha::Patrons->search_limited
- [29506] objects.search should call search_limited if present
- [29508] GET /patrons/:patron_id should use Koha::Patrons->search_limited

- [29593] Wrong tag in GET /public/libraries spec

  > This updates the tag in GET /public/libraries (api/v1/swagger/paths/libraries.json file) from library to libraries.

- [29975] (Bug 21729 followup) patron_expiration_date missing in API
- [30534] borrowers.guarantorid not present on database
- [30536] Embeds should be defined in a single place

### Reports

- [26269] Overdues: Download file doesn't match result in staff interface when due date filters or 'show any available items currently checked out' are used
- [26669] Last Run column not updated when report is run publicly (via CoverFlow or elsewhere)

- [28977] Most-circulated items (cat_issues_top.pl) is failing with SQL Mode ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY

  > This fixes an error that causes the most circulated items report to fail when run on a database with SQL mode ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY and in strict SQL mode.

- [29488] NumSavedReports system preference doesn't work

  > This fixes the saved reports page so that the NumSavedReports system preference works as intended - the number of reports listed should default to the value in the system preference (the initial default is 20).

- [29530] When NumSavedReports is set, show value in pull down of entries

  > This updates the way the NumSavedReports preference value is used on the saved reports page. For the "Show" dropwdown list:

  > - it now displays the number set in NumSavedReports (previously it showed 20)
  > - when expanded it now shows the number set in NumSavedReports sequentially (for example, if NumSavedReports is 78, the menu options should be "10, 20, 50, 78, 100, All"), and
  > - it now displays 'All' if NumSavedReports is blank.

  > It also updates the description for the NumSavedReports preference to clarify that all reports are shown when no value is entered.

- [29679] Reports result menu shows too many dividers

  > This removes borders between sections that are not required. The SQL report batch operations dropdown menu has divider list items which add a border between sections (bibliographic records, item records, etc.). This element is redundant because the sections have "headers" which also add a border.

- [29680] Reports menu 'Show SQL code' wrong border radius
- [29729] If serials_stats.pl returns no results dataTables get angry
- [30129] 500 error when search reports by date
- [30282] Overdues report does not display subtitle and other information

### SIP2

- [30118] holds_block_checkin behavior is different in Koha and in SIP

### Searching

- [30740] Link to authorities 'used in' should not use equal

### Searching - Elasticsearch

- [25616] Uppercase hard coded lower case boolean operators for Elasticsearch
- [29077] Warns when searching blank index
- [29436] Cannot reorder facets in staff interface elasticsearch configuration

- [30142] ElasticSearch MARC mappings should not accept whitespaces

  Sponsored by Steiermärkische Landesbibliothek

  > This fixes an issue where vendors are repeated in the serials report.

- [29790] Deleting serial items fail without warning

- [30035] Wrong month name in numbering pattern

  Sponsored by Orex Digital

  > Sponsored-by: Orex Digital

- [30204] Add subtitle to serial subscription search

  > Adds the biblio.subtitle to the 'Title' column on serial-search.pl.

- [30205] Add biblio.subtitle to the subscription-detail.pl page

  > Add the biblio.subtitle to the serial subscription details page.

### Staff Client

- [29875] Update text on MaxReserves system preference to describe functionality.

- [30107] When editing a desk, the currently logged in library is selected

  > Corrects a problem on the administration page for circulation desks where the default library was always being set to the logged in library instead of the library of the desk.

- [30597] Update wording of RestrictionBlockRenewing to include auto-renew

### Templates

- [11873] Upgrade jstree jQuery plugin to the latest version
- [13142] Change "mobile phone" label back to "other phone"
- [26102] Javascript injection in intranet search

- [29513] Accessibility: Staff Client - Convert remaining breadcrumbs sections from div to nav blocks

  > This improves the accessibility of breadcrumbs so that they adhere to the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices. It covers additional breadcrumbs that weren't fixed in bug 27486 in these areas:

  > - Home > Acquisitions > [Vendor name > [Basket name]
  > - Home > Administration > Set library checkin and transfer policy
  > - Home > Patrons > Merge patron records

- [29514] ILL requests: Remove extraneous › HTML entity from breadcrumbs

  > This fixes a small typo in the breadcrumbs section for ILL requests - it had an extra › HTML entity after "Home".

- [29528] Breadcrumbs on HTML customizations take you to news

  > This change removes the "Additional contents" breadcrumb when working with news items or HTML customizations. Since news and HTML customizations are separate links on the tools home page there's no reason to have the breadcrumbs imply the two sections are connected in any way. We already have the "See News" link, for example, for switching quickly between the two areas.

- [29529] Fix \n in hint on Koha to MARC mappings

  > This fixes:

  > - a string in Koha to MARC mappings (koha2marclinks.tt:86) so that it can be correctly translated (excludes "\n" from what is translated), and
  > - capitalization for the breadcrumb link: Administration > Koha to MARC mappings.

- [29552] flatpickr quick shortcuts should be 'Disabled' for invalid dates

- [29571] Mainpage : "All libraries" pending suggestions are visible only if the current library has suggestions

  > This fixes the display of pending suggestions in the staff interface so that it now shows pending suggestions for all libraries, for example: "Suggestions pending approval: Centerville: 0 / All libraries: 1.". Previously suggestions pending approval was only shown if there were suggestions for the user's current library.

- [29580] Misplaced closing 'td' tag in overdue.tt
- [29688] Incorrect use of _() in holds.js
- [29735] Remove flatpickr instantiations from .js files

- [29807] Branches template plugin doesn't handle empty lists correctly

  > The Branches TT plugin had wrong logic in it, that made it crash, or display wrong pickup locations when the item/biblio didn't have any valid pickup location.

- [29853] Text needs HTML filter before KohaSpan filter
- [29932] Phase out jquery.cookie.js: bibs_selected (Browse selected records)
- [29933] Fix stray usage of jquery.cookie.js plugin
- [29940] Phase out jquery.cookie.js in the OPAC

- [30595] update_child_to_adult.t is failing randomly
- [30596] api/v1/acquisitions_baskets.t is failing randomly
- [30734] t/db_dependent/Koha/BackgroundJob.t fails on D9 and D10

### Tools

- [29156] File missing warning in Koha::UploadedFile should be for permanent files only

- [29521] Patron Club name hyperlinks not operational + weird CSS behavior

- [29693] CodeMirror broken on additional_contents.tt
