+RELEASE NOTES FOR KOHA 25.05.02
+
+24 Jul 2025
+
+Koha is the first free and open source software library automation
+package (ILS). Development is sponsored by libraries of varying types
+and sizes, volunteers, and support companies from around the world. The
+website for the Koha project is:
+
+
+
+Koha 25.05.02 can be downloaded from:
+
+
+
+Installation instructions can be found at:
+
+
+- Koha Wiki
+- OR in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball
+
+
+Koha 25.05.02 is a bugfix/maintenance release.
+
+It includes 25 enhancements, 96 bugfixes.
+
+System requirements
+
+You can learn about the system components (like OS and database) needed for running Koha on the community wiki.

+
+
+Acquisitions
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39572 Create EDIFACT order button no longer forces librarians to review EAN to select
+
+
+ This fixes the EDIFACT order confirmation message for a basket so that the EAN information is now included on the confirmation page ([a basket for a vendor] > Create EDIFACT order > [select EAN from dropdown list], with the BasketConfirmations system preference set to 'always ask for conformation').
+
+ Previously, the Create EDIFACT order action would take librarians to a page to select the EDI Library EAN. Now, the EANs are included in a dropdown list for the action. This removed the chance to review the selected EAN to confirm it was correct. In addition, some libraries have dozens of Library EANs, making the button dropdown list cumbersome to use.
+
+
+ Architecture, internals, and plumbing
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+37305 Remove C4::Biblio::prepare_marc_host and use Koha::Biblio->generate_marc_host_field in preference
+
+
+ 25.11.00
+
+
+Sponsored by Open Fifth
+
+- 38966 Wrong POD in Koha/CoverImages.pm and Koha/Acquisition/Order/Claims.pm
+- 40079 C4::Scrubber "note" profile should allow for list (ul, ol, li, dl, dt, and dd) HTML tags
+
+ This adds unordered, ordered, and description list tags (
, , - ,
, - , and
- ) to the HTML that is allowed in notes fields (for example, course reserves staff and public notes).
+ - 40242 Typo in Quotes module
+ This fixes a typo in the code for the quote of the day tool (there were two =>).
+ - 40261 Tidy
build-git-snapshot
+ - 40277 Warn in C4::Koha::GetAuthorisedValues()
+ This fixes the cause of an unnecessary warning message[1] in the logs when searching the OPAC when not logged in. (This warning was occurring when the OpacAdvancedSearchTypes system preference was set to something other than "itemtypes", for example "loc".)
+
+
+
[1] Warning message:
+ [WARN] Use of uninitialized value $branch_limit in concatenation (.) or string at ...
+
+
+
+
+Authentication
+
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39206 Koha improperly tries to remove foreign cookies on logout (and in general the cookies aren't actually removed, but set to empty values)
+
+
+ This patch adds more control to Koha::CookieManager by allowing to refine its list of managed cookies with keep or remove entries in koha-conf.xml.
+
+ IMPORTANT NOTE: The former (probably widely unused) feature of putting a regex in the do_not_remove_cookie lines is replaced by interpreting its value as a prefix. (So you should e.g. replace catalogue_editor_\d+ by just catalogue_editor_
+

+- 39871 Cannot clear item statuses with batch item modification tool
+- 40128 StripWhitespaceChars can create empty subfields

+
+- 23883 sip_cli_emulator.pl - typo in parameter name
+- 40144
sip_cli_emulator.pl warnings
+
+
+Database
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40109 Path to fix_invalid_dates.pl is incorrect in fix_invalid_dates.pl and search_for_data_inconsistencies.pl
+
+
+ This fixes a path in a hint in the search for data inconsistencies script (search_for_data_inconsistencies.pl) - misc/cronjobs/fix_invalid_dates.pl should be misc/maintenance/fix_invalid_dates.pl.
+
+
+ ERM
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 38899 Allow the Vue toolbar to be sticky
+
+
+ This restores the sticky toolbar when adding a vendor in the acquisitions module (Acquisitions > + New vendor). This is related to bug 38010, which migrates vendors in the acquisitions module to using Vue - the sticky menu was not included in this.
+ - 39951 Column filters are offset in ERM
+
+
+ Hold requests
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39912 RealTimeHoldsQueue should be rebuilt when a holds pickup location is changed
+- 40118 Regression - 'Holds to pull' library filters don't work
+- 40122 'Holds to pull' library filters don't work if library name contains parenthesis
+
+
+ This fixes the holds to pull page so that the dropdown library filter works if the library name contains parenthesis (Circulation > Holds and bookings > Holds to pull).
+
+
+ I18N/L10N
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+
+ILL
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40171 ILL Patron Has No Email Address on File message upon "Send Notice To Patron"
+
+
+Label/patron card printing
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 34157 Exporting labels as a barcode range can cause a 500 error
+
+
+ This fixes the "Error 500..." message generated when printing barcode ranges using the label creator, where the layout type selected is "Bibliographic data precedes barcode" (Cataloging > Tools > Label creator).
+
+
+ MARC Authority data support
+
+
+Critical bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40092 Clicking save doesn't fill auto-populated fields in authority and biblio editor
+
+
+ This fixes a regression between Koha 24.11, and 25.05 and main. When adding a new authority or bibliographic record, clicking save (without filling in any fields) now restores filling in the auto-populated fields such as 000, 003, and 008.
+
+
+ OPAC
+
+
+Critical bugs fixed
+
+
+- 38102 Checkout history in OPAC displaying more than 50 items
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39223 The OPAC browse search (opac-browse.pl) is broken since 24.11
+
+
+ This fixes the OPAC browse search feature (OpacBrowseSearch system preference, Elasticsearch only). Expanding and collapsing the search results to show the details now works, instead of nothing happening.
+
+
+ Packaging
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40039 Add production enhancements to build-git-snapshot tool
+
+
+Patrons
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+34776 Patron messaging preferences are lost when an error occurs during new account creation
+
+
+ This fixes creating a new patron - the messaging preferences are now remembered if there is an error when creating a new patron. Before this, if there was an error when creating a patron (for example, the wrong age for the patron category), the messaging preferences (either the default or changes made) were emptied and needed to be re-added.
+
+
+Sponsored by Koha-Suomi Oy
+
+- 39498 Correct display of patron restriction comments
+40116 Extra popup notice when saving a patron with patron guarantor ends in error
+
+
+ This patch changes existing guarantors elements in the patron add form to use classes "guarantor_id" and "guarantor_relationship" to prevent an unnecessary pop-up if the form throws an error.
+
+
+Sponsored by Koha-Suomi Oy
+
+- 40281 Patron circulation history page - type column is not hidden
+
+
+ This fixes the patron circulation history page. The 'Type' column should not be shown, and is now hidden.
+
+
+ REST API
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39657 Block holds placed via the API when patron would be blocked from placing OPAC hold
+
+
+ This development adds more holdability checks to the POST /holds endpoint. Overrides are added for all of them:
+
+
+ - bad_address
+ - card_lost
+ - debt_limit
+ - expired
+ - hold_limit
+ - restricted
+
+
+ Before this development, only any could be passed as an override. It will now have more granularity.
+ - 40254 POST /holds override logic problem
+
+
+ Reports
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+
+SIP2
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 32934 SIP checkouts using "no block" flag have a calculated due rather than the specified due date
+
+
+Searching - Zebra
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40304 Zebrasrv config doesn't consider non-AMD64 CPUs
+
+
+Serials
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 39997 List of closed serials: reopening requires the syspref "RoutingSerials"
+
+
+Staff interface
+
+Critical bugs fixed
+
+
+- 40127 JS error on biblio detail page when there are no items
+
+
+ This fixes a JavaScript error on bibliographic record pages in the staff interface, where the record has no items.
+
+
+ Other bugs fixed

+
+- 40161 New translation not displayed when translating an item type
+
+
+Other bugs fixed
+
+
+- 32284 Capitalization: Audio Carriers, Computer Carriers ... in UNIMARC value builders
+
+ This fixes the capitalization for the labels displayed in the MARC tag editor for UNIMARC subfields 181$a, 181$c, $182$a, 182$c, and 183$c, when the value builders are used. The labels are changed from capital case to sentence case, for consistency with other labels:
+ - Content Form -> Content form (181$a)
+ - Content Type -> Content type (181$c)
+ - Media Type Code -> Media type code (182$a)
+ - Media Type -> Media type (182$c)
+ - In the dropdown list (183$a):
+ . Audio Carriers -> Audio carriers
+ . Computer Carriers -> Computer carriers
+ . Microform Carriers -> Microform carriers
+ . Microscopic Carriers -> Microscopic carriers
+ . Stereographic Carriers -> Stereographic carriers
+ - 32287 Capitalization: Printing and/or Publishing Information Transcribed as Found in the Colophon:␠
+ This fixes the capitalisation for the labels displayed in the OPAC and staff interface for UNIMARC subfields 214$r and $s - these are changed from capital case to sentence case, to be consistent with other labels:
+ - 214$r: Printing and/or publishing information transcribed
+ as found in the main source of information
+ - 214$s: Printing and/or publishing information transcribed
+ as found in the colophon
+ - 32296 Capitalization: Specification of Dimensionality,...
+ This fixes the capitalization for the labels displayed in the MARC tag editor for UNIMARC 181$b, when the value builder unimarc_field_181b.pl is used. The labels are changed from capital case to sentence case, for consistency with other labels:
+ - Specification of type (position 0)
+ - Specification of motion (position 1)
+ - Specification of dimensionality (position 2)
+ - Sensory specification 1, 2 and 3 (positions 3 to 5)
+ 39441 Some templates have div.container instead of div.container-fluid
+
+
+
+ This updates a few templates so that div.container is replaced with div.container-fluid. div.container has a fixed maximum width that isn't consistent with the rest of Koha. An example where this caused display issues - the staff interface cart: the action icons were bunched up to the left, instead of being spread evenly across the pop-up window width.

+### Acquisitions
+
+#### Other bugs fixed
+
+- [39572](https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39572) Create EDIFACT order button no longer forces librarians to review EAN to select

+ >
+ >Previously, the `Create EDIFACT order` action would take librarians to a page to select the EDI Library EAN. Now, the EANs are included in a dropdown list for the action. This removed the chance to review the selected EAN to confirm it was correct. In addition, some libraries have dozens of Library EANs, making the button dropdown list cumbersome to use.
