Chinese Translation
by Arthur CCC 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Dear Sir, We are looking for a chinese library system. And we found that Library is very powerful. Can I ask is there any available Chinese Koha version? if not, can we do so and what should we do? Also, we may need to combine it our other codes, can we modify the codes for customization? Thanks much and regards, Arthur

chmod
by MJ Ray 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

I think the chmod doesn't need oct if it is given a number, so we should use chmod 0644, $file; rather than chmod oct(0644), $file;. Do we have someone who knows for sure, please? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ jabber://slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Thought: "Changeset algebra is really difficult."

E-Mail reminder for late issues
by Jerome Vizcaino 27 Jun '03

27 Jun '03

Hi all Just to let you know we finally developped a module to display late issues and generate e-mail for borrowers who have late issues. As there's a feature freeze until 2.0 is out, we can't commit it now. If anyone's interested in testing, please contact me, I'll send you the files with the apropriate information. Jerome

The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over SourceForge...

... when Koha 2.0.0pre1 was released. RELEASE NOTES ============= This release add many bugfixes, and some improvment in z3950 and repetable fields management. It has been placed in the "unstable tree" because there are still some bugs. But it's fully usable, and should not be modified a lot until a stable version is released. PACKAGE NEEDED : --------- Nothing new. Note MARC::Record has new releases, but older one (1.26) works fine. DB modifications : --------- * added field in aqbudget, primary key : aqbudgetid tinyint(4) NOT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY (aqbudgetid) * added field in systempref : options text * bibliothesaurus field father changed to char(80) (was bigint) added full text index : FULLTEXT KEY category_2 (category,freelib) z3950 : --------- * works on biblio adding & modifying * works on ISBN, author, title, the 1st found being the one used. various : ---------- * added subject and subtitle to MARC subfields mapped to Koha old-DB. * reordered bookfunds/budget admin tools. languages/languages : ------------- DEFAULT template : * english works. * french should work, mostly. If you experiment some problems, test with english templates, and report the problem as general or french specific NEW template : a "unido" template is in this release. It's uncomplete, and based on vanilla template. GUI reordering ------------------ * Some unused links have been dropped. * a "submenu" shows some operation below main menu. * the MARC link disappeared. It's managed by the MARC=ON/OFF systempref. (the breeding import is now in Parameters section) * acquisition and cataloguing are now separated. acquisition=simple/normal in systempref and cataloguing is MARC/nonMARC depending on MARC=ON/OFF systempref. Should be easier to understand. Bugs still open in bugs.koha.org ======================= always some, but less than in 1.9.3 (40 at this time. more than 20 of them are minor : spellcheck, image missing...) Some of them (for more details, see http://bugs.koha.org) : * 426 Reserving a book (with a reserve fee) results in a hostile message * 452 Payment due flags not showing up for children * 185 Barcode not auto-calculated when autobarcode is on * 425 Add new website feature doesn't work * 318 allow or not a book to be loan * 236 Reserve book on future date doesn't work or copy is wrong bugs not reported here are either unconfirmed, not understood, minor, or partially fixed. Feel free to ask for bugfixes and new features in bugs.koha.org. NOTE that NEW FEATURES or IMPROVEMENTS will only be for 2.0.1 unless it's a very trivial or blocking one. TODO ===== * bug fixes (everybody) * cleaning z3950 old searches (more than 1 hour/day old ?)

Installer request: no screen clearing
by Paul Gear 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (Somebody tell me if this info should be going to a better place...) The practice of clearing the screen in the installer is not the best idea, IMO. As you can see, i've had a lot of error messages, and these might get missed by the installer clearing the screen. Additionally, i can't scroll back in my terminal to see the full install output. I'd rather see the installer just write to the screen as normal, with some sort of colour (as it does at present) or separator to show that a new task is being started. - -- Paul http://paulgear.webhop.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE++Djk0yv0OWRYqWwRAgU3AJ4xwargkRbzfiEpQdXLxAiRQPhsTACfcowy 8/vkdUI9QP6lISsTGhgAaoo= =sSuh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

2.0 release meeting
by Pat Eyler 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

During our 2.0 release irc meeting, we identified a mechanism for prioritizing bugs currently listed on bugs.koha.org. We've got six that we're considering 'must fix' issues. There are twenty-nine more that are 'should fix', and four that are 'might fix'. 'Must fix' bugs will be corrected before the 2.0.0 release is made. We will try to fix all 'should fix' bugs, but won't delay the relase unduly to do so. 'Might fix' bugs will be fixed if someone manages to get it done before the 2.0.0 release is made. If you have a bug that has not yet been reported, please report it soon. At some point, we're going to start putting off fixing newly reported bugs until the 2.0.1 release. If you think we've mis-prioritized a bug, please let me know which bug, how critical you think it is, and why. The following bugs have been identified as 'must-fix' bugs for the 2.0.0 release: BugId Vers Summary 253 1.9.2 Thesaurus management doesn't work 293 1.9.1 Error Issuing Book - 1 489 1.9.3 Poor file copying 503 1.9.3 Installer places z3950 scripts in /cgi-bin/z3950 505 CVS moredetail.pl/tmpl problem 510 2.0.0 need new docs integrated These are should fix for 2.0.0: 50 458 65 469 185 471 225 474 236 475 239 478 247 479 272 480 295 484 318 487 322 492 379 500 426 504 436 506 452 These are 'might fix': 98 237 316 490 (to look at a ticket, you can use this url: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=XXX where XXX is replaced with the bug id listed above.)
