<p>Koha 24.05.09 can be downloaded from:</p>

<p>Koha 24.05.09 is a bugfix/maintenance release.</p>
<p>It includes 8 bugfixes.</p>
<p><strong>System requirements</strong></p>

<h4 id="securitybugs">Security bugs</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36867">36867</a> ILS-DI AuthorizedIPs should deny explicitly except those listed</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This patch updates the ILS-DI authorized IPs preference to deny all IPs not listed in the preference.</p>
<p>Previously if no text was entered the ILS-DI service was accessible by all IPs, now it requires explicitly defining the IPs that can access the service.</p>
<p>Upgrading libraries using ILS-DI should check that they have the necessary IPs defined in the system preference.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38969">38969</a> Reflected XSS vulnerability in tags</li>
</ul></p>
<h2 id="bugfixes">Bugfixes</h2>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="acquisitions">Acquisitions</h3>
<h4 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38155">38155</a> Can't close invoices using checkboxes from invoices.pl</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes closing and reopening of invoices (Acquisitions > [Vendor] > Invoices). Previously, the invoices you selected weren't closed or reopened when clicking on the "Close/Reopen selected invoices" button - all that happened was that one of the selected invoices was displayed instead. (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)</li>
</ul></p>
<h3 id="architectureinternalsandplumbing">Architecture, internals, and plumbing</h3>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38653">38653</a> Obsolete call on system preference 'OPACLocalCoverImagesPriority'</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes the OPAC search results page by removing a call to system preference OPACLocalCoverImagesPriority - this system preference no longer exists. (There is no visible difference to the OPAC search results page.)</li>
</ul></p>
<h3 id="circulation">Circulation</h3>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38512">38512</a> Item table status column display is wrong when record has recalls</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes the display of recalls in the holdings table - the "Recalled by [patron] on [date]" message now only shows for item-level recalls. Previously, the message was displayed for all items when a record-level recall was made.</li>
</ul></p>
<h3 id="erm">ERM</h3>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38782">38782</a> ERM eUsage related tests are failing</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes failing ERM usage tests.</li>
</ul></p>
<h3 id="patrons">Patrons</h3>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="otherbugsfixed">Other bugs fixed</h4>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38772">38772</a> Typo 'minPasswordPreference' system preference</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes a typo in the code for OPAC password recovery - 'minPasswordPreference' to 'minPasswordLength' (the correct system preference name). It has no noticeable effect on resetting an account password from the OPAC.</li>
</ul></p>
<h3 id="templates">Templates</h3>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="criticalbugsfixed">Critical bugs fixed</h4>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38268">38268</a> Callers of confirmModal need to remove the modal as the first step in their callback function</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes confirm dialog boxes in the OPAC to prevent unintended actions being taken, such as accidentally deleting a list. This specifically fixes lists, and makes a technical change to prevent this happening in the future for other areas of the OPAC (such as suggestions, tags, and self-checkout).</p>
<p>Example of issue fixed for lists: </p>
<ol>
<li>Create a list with several items.</li>
<li>From the new list, select a couple of the items.</li>
<li>Click "Delete list" and then select "No, do not delete".</li>
<li>Then select "Remove from list", and confirm by clicking "Yes, remove from list".</li>
<li>Result: Instead of removing the items selected, the whole list was incorrectly deleted!</li>
</ol>
