Sponsorship contributions
Thanks to the sponsorship from some of our libraries, we are pleased to share a list of fixes and enhancements that made it into Koha 25.11. Sponsorship also makes it possible to support us to maintain older Koha versions. For this cycle, we also maintained the Koha 22.11 LTS release, which involved backporting changes and keeping the version stable and secure.
