What's new
This section highlights new features and enhancements in the latest Koha releases.
This section is updated as the manual is updated. Therefore, it may not contain all the new features and enhancements in the release. Please consult the release notes for an exhaustive list of all changes in Koha for each version.
The version number indicated in the manual is the newest in which the feature or enhancement appears. Be aware that bugs may have been backported to previous Koha versions. If this is the case, you may come across a feature in an earlier version than indicated throughout these pages.
24.11
`Read the full release notes for Koha 24.11.00 <https://koha-community.org/koha-24-11-00-released/>`_.
Bookable item types
It is now possible to make items bookable at the :ref:`item type level <item-types-label>`.
Setting checkout blocking limits at the patron category level
The system preferences :ref:`noissuescharge <noissuescharge-label>`, :ref:`NoIssuesChargeGuarantees <noissueschargeguarantees-label>`, and :ref:`NoIssuesChargeGuarantorsWithGuarantees <noissueschargeguarantorswithguarantees-label>` are used to determine the maximum outstanding balance a patron can have before checkouts are blocked. These limits can now be overridden at the :ref:`patron category <adding-a-patron-category-label>` level, enabling different thresholds for different patron categories.
New system preferences
**ForcePasswordResetWhenSetByStaff**
This new system preference can be used to force patrons whose accounts were manually created by staff patrons (as opposed to self-registered patrons) to change their password when they log into the OPAC for the first time.
The setting can also be set at the :ref:`patron category <adding-a-patron-category-label>` level.
**SuggestionsLog**
Set the new :ref:`SuggestionsLog <suggestionslog-label>` system preference to 'Log' to start logging the creation, modifications and deletion of :ref:`purchase suggestions <managing-purchase-suggestions-label>`.
Modified system preferences
**BlockExpiredPatronOpacActions**
It is now possible to determine which actions are blocked in the OPAC when a patron's account is expired: placing a hold on an item, placing an ill request, or renewing an item. Previously, the :ref:`BlockExpiredPatronOpacActions <blockexpiredpatronopacactions-label>` system preference was a simple on/off switch. It now allows more flexibility.
The system preference can be overridden by the setting in :ref:`patron categories <adding-a-patron-category-label>`.
24.05
`Read the full release notes for Koha 24.05.00 <https://koha-community.org/koha-24-05-00-released/>`_.
E-resource management
You can now :ref:`import local title records into Koha from a KBART file <import-from-kbart-label>`, making it easier to get your eholdings records into Koha.
Record sources and locked records
This new feature allows libraries to define :ref:`record sources <record-sources-label>`, with the option to 'lock' the records from specific sources to prevent them from being edited in Koha.
This is particularly useful in instances where records are catalogued in another system and pushed to Koha. Sometimes, in those cases, it's best to edit the records in the source system rather than in Koha.
