54 - [[21587]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21587) Patrons to notify on receiving doesn't work on new order creation, only on modification
56 ### Architecture, internals, and plumbing
58 - [[21599]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21599) Incorrect decimal value: '' for column 'defaultreplacecost' - Cannot create item type
62 - [[21311]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21311) Remove locked message from opac-auth.tt
64 > It is good security practice to not provide details which could confirm or deny the existence of an account. Previously, the simple "This account has been locked!" confirmed its existence which would only encourage more attacks by hackers.
65 To prevent aiding malicious attacks, the message has been changed to something that does not expressly state the account has been locked. It only mentions that accounts will be locked after a number of failed attempts, instead of saying whether it is locked or not.
66 So while a successful attempt will seem to have an invalid username or password suggestion after the account is locked, users should be reminded that they can always reset their password or contact library staff for help.
