+ +It includes 10 enhancements, 6 bugfixes.
+ +System requirements
+ +You can learn about the system components (like OS and database) needed for running Koha on the community wiki.
+ ++Fix EDI message status display in acquisitions so matching is case-insensitive by converting edi_order.status to lowercase before comparison.
+Accessibility improvement: Vertical dividers in the OPAC navigation now include role="presentation" to ensure they are correctly identified as decorative elements. This provides clearer semantics for assistive technologies without affecting display or design.
+This enhancement adds a markdown file to the Koha project repository to make it clear how to report security issues.
+This enhancement adds IDs to the fieldsets on the staff interface search form (Search > Item search), to make CSS customization easier. The fieldset IDs are: + - Library and location section: librarylocation + - Item information section: access_and_condition + - Barcode search section: barcodesearch + - Call number section: callnumber_checkouts
