Hi Kyle, could you please add the pref? Failing for now so it shows up in your queue :)
This already has a system preference, AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable! Is there something else that needs to be taken care of?
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is the minimum, IMO, as I would prefer it as a per-library setting, but as a YASP, it suffices for now.
Also, since this is being consider bug-ish, I think maybe we should enable the feature by default. I'll post a followup for that. If you don't think that's a good idea you can just deprecate the patch.
I think we've just exposed a difference in library practices, because I know of libraries that absolutely do not want renewals to be allowed if there are pending requests, and who would very much consider it a bug if they were suddenly allowed following an upgrade. Consequently, I will /not/ be pushing the follow-up as it stands now, as it changes existing behavior upon upgrade. I am neutral on the question of the default value for this one for new installations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
