Security bugs
+
+
Koha
+
+
+
[27604] PatronSelfRegistrationLibraryList can be bypassed
[14004] Add ability to temporarily disable added CSS and Javascript in OPAC and interface
+
+
+
This allows to temporarily disable any of OPACUserCSS, OPACUserJS, OpacAdditionalStylesheet, opaclayoutstylesheet, IntranetUserCSS, IntranetUserJS, intranetcolorstylesheet, and intranetstylesheet system preference via an URL parameter.
+
+
Alter the URL in OPAC or staff interface by adding an additional parameter DISABLE_SYSPREF_=1.
This patch introduces an efficient way of filtering Koha::Items result sets, to hide items that that shouldn't be exposed on public interfaces.
+
+
Filtering is governed by the following system preferences. A helper method is added to handle lost items:
+
+
+
hidelostitems: Koha::Items->filter_out_lost is added to handle this.
+
+
+
Some patrons have exceptions so OpacHiddenItems is not enforced on them. That's why the new method [1] has an optional parameter that expects the logged in patron to be passed in the call.
+
+
[1] Koha::Items->filter_by_visible_in_opac
+
+
+
+
Cataloging
+
+
+
[26943] Show not for loan descriptions in cataloging search (addbooks.pl)
+
+
+
Adds the ability to see not for loan descriptions in the cataloging search results.
+
+
[27422] HTML5Media is http by default but Youtube is https only
+
+
Sponsored byBanco Central de la República Argentina
[24272] Add a command line script to compare the syspref cache to the database
+
+
+
This script checks the value of the system preferences in the database against those in the cache. Generally differences will only exist if changes have been made directly to the DB or the cache has become corrupted.
+
+
+
+
OPAC
+
+
+
[27029] Detail page missing Javascript accessible biblionumber value
+
+
+
Reports
+
+
+
[26713] Add pagination to bottom of saved SQL reports table
+
+
+
This enhancement adds a second pagination menu to the bottom of saved SQL reports tables.
+
+
+
+
System Administration
+
+
+
[27395] Add warning to PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory to avoid accidental patron deletion
+
+
+
This patch adds a warning to the PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory system
+ preference to not use a regular patron category for self registration.
+
+
If a regular patron category code is used and the cleanup_database cronjob is setup
+ to delete unverified and unfinished OPAC self registrations, it permanently and
+ and unrecoverably deletes all patrons that have registered more than
+ PatronSelfRegistrationExpireTemporaryAccountsDelay days ago.
+
+
It also removes unnecessary apostrophes at the end of two self registration
+ and modification system preference descriptions.
[27580] NULL values not correctly handled in Koha::Items->filter_by_visible_in_opac
+
[27586] Import patrons script has a confirm switch that doesn't do anything
+
+
+
This fixes the misc/import_patrons.pl script so that patrons are not imported unless the --confirm option is used. Currently, if the script is run without "--confirm" option it reports that it is "Running in dry-run mode, provide --confirm to apply the changes", however it imports the patrons anyway.
[27707] Renewing doesn't work when renewal notices are enabled
+
+
+
Hold requests
+
+
+
[26634] Hold rules applied incorrectly when All Libraries rules are more specific than branch rules
+
[27068] HoldsQueue doesn't know how to use holds groups
+
+
+
Koha 20.05 introduced local hold groups, but neglected to add support of them in the holds queue. Because of this, the holds queue will not show items the could have filled holds from other libraries in a hold group. This patch set adds support for hold groups to the holds queue builder thus improving Koha's ability to find items to fill hold requests.
+
+
+
+
OPAC
+
+
+
[15448] Placing hold on specific items doesn't enforce OpacHiddenItems
+
+
+
System Administration
+
+
+
[27569] marc-framework import function doesn't accept LibreOffice csv/ods file formats
[25552] Add missing Claims Returned option to MarkLostItemsAsReturned
+
+
+
Marking an item as a return claim checks the system preference MarkLostItemsAsReturned to see if the claim should be removed from the patron record. However, the option for "when marking an item as a return claim" was never added to the system preference, so there was no way to remove a checkout from the patron record when marking the checkout as a return claim. This patch set adds that missing option.
+
+
[27154] Koha/Util/SystemPreferences.pm must be removed
This patch removes a variable ($name) that is no longer used in Circulation > Check in (/cgi-bin/koha/circ/returns.pl), and the resulting warnings (..[WARN] Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at..) that were recorded in the error log.
+
+
[27538] Cells in the bottom filtering row of the "Holds to pull" table shifted
+
[27548] Warnings "use of uninitialized value" on branchoverdues.pl
+
+
+
This fixes the cause of unnecessary "use of uninitialized value" warnings in the log files generated by Circulation > Overdues with fines (/cgi-bin/koha/circ/branchoverdues.pl).
+
+
This was caused by not taking into account that the "location" parameter for this form is initially empty.
+
+
[27549] Warning "use of uninitialized value" on renew.pl
+
+
+
This fixes the cause of unnecessary "use of uninitialized value" warnings in the log files generated by Circulation > Renew (/cgi-bin/koha/circ/renew.pl).
+
+
This was caused by not taking into account that the "barcode" parameter for this form is initially empty.
[27398] Serials: Values in subscription length pull down are not translatable when defining numbering patterns
+
[27416] String 'Modify tag' in breadcrumb is untranslatable
+
+
+
ILL
+
+
+
[25614] "Clear filter" button permanently disabled on ILL request list
+
+
+
Installation and upgrade (web-based installer)
+
+
+
[11996] Default active currencies for ru-RU and uk-UA are wrong
+
+
+
This fixes the currencies in the sample installer files for Russia (ru-RU; changes GRN -> UAH, default remains as RUB) and the Ukraine (uk-UA; changes GRN -> UAH).
+
+
[24810] French SQL files for "news" contain "Welcome into Koha 3!"
+
+
+
This removes the Koha version number from the sample news items for the French language installer files (fr-FR and fr-CA).
+
+
[24811] French SQL files for "news" contain broken link to the wiki
+
+
+
This fixes a broken link in the sample news items for the French language installer files (fr-FR and fr-CA).
+
+
+
+
MARC Bibliographic data support
+
+
+
[25632] Update MARC21 frameworks to update Nr. 30 (May 2020)
+
+
+
Notices
+
+
+
[24447] POD of C4::Members::Messaging::GetMessagingPreferences() is misleading
+
+
+
OPAC
+
+
+
[27297] When itemtype is marked as required in OpacSuggestion MandatoryFields the field is not required
+
[27450] Making password required for patron registration breaks patron modification
+
[27571] "Add to lists" on MARC and ISBD view of OPAC detail page doesn't open in new window
+
+
+
Patrons
+
+
+
[26059] Create guarantor/guarantee links on patron import
+
[27454] Additional patron attributes change sequence on every reload of edit page
+
+
+
This fixes the order that additional patron attributes are displayed on the patron edit form. They are now sorted by the attribute code, before this they displayed in a random order.
+
+
+
+
REST API
+
+
+
[26181] Holds placed via the REST API should not be forced by default even if AllowHoldPolicyOverride is enabled
+
+
+
This patch disables AllowHoldPolicyOverride by default in the /holds REST API. It also adds tests for this behaviour, and adds a header that can be used to request the override explicitly.
+
+
+
+
SIP2
+
+
+
[25808] Renewal via the SIP 'checkout' message gives incorrect message
+
[27204] SIP patron information request with fee line items returns incorrect data
+
+
+
Searching
+
+
+
[26957] Find duplicate removes operators from the middle of search terms
+
+
+
Searching - Elasticsearch
+
+
+
[27307] "Keyword as phrase" option in search dropdown doesn't work with Elastic
+
+
+
Searching - Zebra
+
+
+
[27299] Zebra phrase register is incorrectly tokenized when using ICU
+
+
+
Previously, Zebra indexing in ICU mode was incorrectly tokenizing text for the "p" register. This meant that particular phrase searches were not working as expected. With this change, phrase searching works the same in ICU and CHR modes.
+
+
+
+
Staff Client
+
+
+
[27653] Do not include 'caption' row in print/copy export of datatables
+
+
+
Templates
+
+
+
[20238] Show description of ITEMTYPECAT instead of code in itemtypes summary table
+
+
+
This enhancement changes the item types page (Koha administration > Basic parameters > Item types) so that the search category column displays the ITEMTYPECAT authorized value's description, instead of the authorized value code. (This makes it consistent with the edit form where it displays the descriptions for authorized values.)
+
+
[24055] Description of PayPalReturnURL system preference is unclear
+
+
+
This enhancement improves the description of the PayPalReturnURL. Changed from 'configured return' to 'configured return URL' as this is what it is called on the PayPal website.
+
+
[26602] Datatables - Actions columns should not be exported
+
[27457] Set focus for cursor to Debit type code field when creating new debit type
+
[27458] Set focus for cursor to Credit type code field when creating new credit type
This patch fixes two spelling errors in the batchMod-del.tt template that is used by the batch item deletion tool in the staff interface: "wich" -> "with."
+
+
[27531] Remove type attribute from script tags: Cataloging plugins
+
[27561] Remove type attribute from script tags: Various templates
+
[27654] "Table settings for Pages" need to be sorted on "Administration -> Table settings"
+
+
+
Test Suite
+
+
+
[27554] Clarify and add tests for Koha::Patrons->update_category_to child to adult
+
+
+
Tools
+
+
+
[26298] If MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod is set to 1000, the max is actually 999
+
[27576] Don't show import records table when cleaning a batch
+
+
+
