Koha 25.11.00
Koha 25.11.00
Koha 25.11.00, released on 5 December 2025, is a major new version that introduces 3 significant new features along with 224 enhancements and 433 bug-fixes. Among the notable additions: staff and patrons can now place holds on “the first available item from a group of titles”; a new batch tool lets staff modify multiple holds at once; and hold-groups can be created from existing holds so that when one is filled the others are skipped until needed. The update also brings broad improvements across accessibility (e.g., semantic HTML5 tags and better color contrast), acquisitions (duplicate-checking new orders, improved EDIFACT/invoice visibility), and system architecture (unified FTP/SFTP file-transport management, polymorphic class support), further refining the overall user experience and maintainability.
