It includes 12 bugfixes.
System requirements
You can learn about the system components (like OS and database) needed for running Koha on the community wiki.
This updates the About Koha > Koha team with the release team members for Koha 22.11.
This fixes the list of pending suggestions to remove archived suggestions with a "Pending" status. If suggestions were archived and their status was left as "Pending", they were still appearing as suggestions to manage on the staff interface and acquisitions home pages.
This fixes spelling errors in catalog code comments (barocode => barcode, and preproccess => preprocess).
This improves merging authorities of different types so that:
- When selecting the reference record, the authority record number and type are displayed next to each record.
- When merging authority records of different types: . the authority type is now displayed in the tab heading, and . a warning is also displayed "Multiple authority types are used. There may be a data loss while merging.".
Previously, no warning was given when merging authority records with different types - this could result in undesirable outcomes, data loss, and extra work required to clean up.
This updates the GetPreparedLetter documentation for developers (it was not updated when changes were made in Bug 19966 - Add ability to pass objects directly to slips and notices).
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 self checkout "Messages for you" section for a patron so that any OPAC messages added by library staff now include the library name. Previously, "Written on DD/MM/YYYY by " was displayed after the message without including the library name.
This fixes the item search so that it returns the correct results when two or more additional filters are used (such as publisher and publication date). It was working correctly with one filter, but was not using any filters if two or more were used in a query.
This adds missing IDs to the rotating collections edit form (Tools > Rotating collections > edit a rotating collection (Actions > Edit)).
This fixes the cause of a warning for the t/db_dependent/api/v1/password_validation.t tests (warning fixed: Use of uninitialized value $status in numeric eq (==)).
This fixes the log viewer so that 'Staff interface' is used instead of 'Intranet' for the filtering option and the value displayed in the log entries interface column.
Note: This does not fix the underlying value recorded in the action_log table (these are added as 'intranet' to the interface column), or the values shown in CSV exports.
