Evergreen 2.11.8 and 2.12.5 released


The Evergreen community is pleased to announce two maintenance releases of Evergreen: 2.11.8 and 2.12.5.

Evergreen 2.12.5 has the following changes improving on Evergreen 2.12.4:

  • Hides the Hold is Behind Circ Desk checkbox in the XUL client’s patron registration screen for those libraries that have not enabled Behind Desk Pickup support via the Library Settings Editor
  • Adds a missing error string that appears when marking an item damaged from an aged circulation.
  • Changes the hold request form so that it no longer defaults to the first SMS carrier for text notifications.
  • Adds a requirement for users to enter a phone/SMS number when they have enabled that notification method on the hold request form.
  • Changes the URL pointing to catalog images, CSS and javascript files to a full absolute URL instead of the relative URL previously used. This change fixes an issue with the Open Graph image property, which requires a full URL.
  • Fixes an issue where payment amounts sent to Stripe can be one cent less than the actual Evergreen payment.
  • Fixes an issue where the open-ils.storage OpenSRF module fails to start when using perl 5.24 or higher.
  • Fixes a problem in the web client where marking a transaction as claims returned or claims never checked out at the same time the patron’s record is edited would not increase the count once the patron’s record is saved.
  • Changes the cursor to a pointer for the record menus in the web client.
  • Fixes hardcoded patchs in srfsh support scripts.
  • Prevents a “Use of freed value in iteration” error that appeared in logs when adjusting a transaction to zero.
  • Prevents the temporary list page from crashing when a user adds the same title to the list more than once.
  • Removes duplicate rows from localized 950.data.seed-values.sql files.
  • Fixes the following two issues with conjoined items:
    • Foreign items previously did not display there was no extra copy attached to the bib record.
    • Conjoined items did not display unless there were two or more items in a set.
  • Fixes an issue in the web client where the Hold Verify prompt did not display for items in a Copy Location where the hold verify flag is enabled.
  • Fixes support for automatic item barcode completion in the web client check in, check out, renew, and item status interfaces.
  • Makes the courier code variable available for transit slips in the web client.
