    Security bugs


      Koha

  * [30969]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30969>
    Cross site scripting (XSS) attack in OPAC authority search (
    opac-authorities-home.pl )


    Enhancements


      Cataloging

  *

    [30997]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30997>
    "CGI::param called in list context" warning in detail.pl flooding
    error log

        This fixes the cause of "CGI::param called in list context from"
        warning messages that appear in the log files when viewing
        record detail pages in the staff interface.


      Templates

  *

    [30786]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30786>
    Capitalization in (Opac)AdvancedSearchTypes

        This fixes the descriptions for the AdvancedSearchTypes and
        OpacAdvancedSearchTypes system preferences - sentence case is
        now used for "..Shelving location..".


    Critical bugs fixed


      Cataloging

  *

    [30234]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30234>
    Serial local covers don't appear in the staff interface for other
    libraries with SeparateHoldings

        This fixes the display of item-specific local cover images in
        the staff interface. Before this, item images were not shown for
        holdings on the record's details view page.


      Circulation

  * [29504]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29504>
    Confirm item parts requires force_checkout permission (checkouts tab)


      Lists

  * [30925]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30925>
    Creating public list by adding items to new list creates a private list


      Patrons

  *

    [31005]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31005>
    Cannot edit patrons in other categories if an extended attribute is
    mandatory and limited to a category

        This fixes an error when a mandatory patron attribute limited to
        a specific patron category was causing a '500 error' when
        editing a patron not in that category.


      REST API

  * [30677]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30677>
    Unknown column 'biblioitem.title' in 'where clause' 500 error in API
    /api/v1/acquisitions/orders


      Searching - Elasticsearch

  *

    [30883]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30883>
    Authorities merge is limited to 100 biblio with Elasticsearch

        This fixes the hard-coded limit of 100 when merging authorities
        (when Elasticsearch is the search engine). When merging
        authorities where the term is used over 100 times, only the
        first 100 authorities would be merged and the old term deleted,
        irrespective of the value set in the AuthorityMergeLimit system
        preference.


    Other bugs fixed


      Hold requests

  * [12630]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12630>
    Prioritizing "Hold starts on date" -holds causes all other holds to
    be prioritized as well!
  * [28529]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28529>
    Item type-constrained biblio-level holds should honour max_holds as
    item-level do
  * [30207]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30207>
    Librarians with only "place_holds" permission can no longer update
    hold pickup locations


      I18N/L10N

  *

    [30958]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30958>
    OPAC Overdrive search result page broken for translations

    *Sponsored by* /Melbourne Athenaeum Library, Australia/


      Notices

  *

    [28355]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28355> Add
    warning note about Email SMS driver option for SMSSendDriver

        This updates the text for the SMSSendDriver system preference.
        The Email SMS driver option is no longer recommended unless you
        use a dedicated SMS to Email gateway. Many mobile providers
        offer inconsistent support for the email to SMS gateway
        (sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't), which can cause
        frustration for patrons.


      OPAC

  *

    [30989]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30989>
    Tags with some special characters are not encoded right

        This fixes tags with special characters (such as +) so that the
        searching returns results when the tag is selected (from the
        record detail view in the OPAC and staff interface, and from the
        search results, tag cloud, and list pages in the OPAC).


      Staff Client

  * [30970]
    <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30970>
    holdst columns don't match actual columns in 'Holds waiting'
