Freeze and release notes
by Nick Clemens 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi All, I went through the queue today and pushed what I could, I think we got a few nice things in today :-) There are some outstanding bugs still, please keep up the great work and help us sort these before release, especially majors/criticals and of course, blockers The release notes are generated rolling now, so first, very rough, draft is already generated: https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-release-notes/blob/master/release_no… There are two outstanding enhancements I am considering, 18983 and 20244 for ES - they shouldn't affect Zebra code so I think they are safe and will help uskeep ES momentum Thanks for all your hard work, and your patience. Let me know your feedback and where I can help. -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp

Candidate for 18.05 Maintainer
by Nick Clemens 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hello all! Last week during the Koha developers meeting we voted on roles for the 19.05 release. I will be continuing as the Release Manager, and we have many hands helping along the way ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_19.05) There is one role left unfilled: 18.05 Release Maintainer (old stable) The release maintainers are responsible for watching the bugs queue from the upcoming release and backporting bugs that affect the version they watch, helping to make sure version in use are kept as stable as possible. It is a good way to learn more about different areas of Koha, to practice your rebasing skills, and to get more involved in the community. There will be many people in the community around to help you out, and we are always looking for new faces to take on these roles. If you are interested please add your name to the wiki page above and we will be voting tomorrow to accept candidates if we have one in place. If you have any questions you can ask the list or message me here or in IRC. Thanks! -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp

Freeze/Notes draft
by Nick Clemens 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Hello all, I have hit a multitude of issues today with my VMs and testing and did not realize I was traveling tomorrow when I first set dates for release. I plan to extend the freeze through Monday so that things in the queue (and things I commented today) have some time to get fixed. I will test everything I can today to provide feedback and do the final push on Monday. Thank you for your patience. -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp

by David Cook 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi all, Does anyone know where there is any documentation for using the KohaTable() javascript function? I'm muddling through, but it would be great if there was something in at least https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines.

Handling for items lost in transit
by Renvoize, Martin 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm seeking some thoughts regarding 'Bug 21732 - If an item is marked as lost, any outstanding transfers should be cancelled <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21732>'. Currently, there is no thought given to transfers when an item is marked as lost, an as such you may have lost items in the transfers queue. This bug aims to solve this by triggering a cancellation of the transfer at the point an item is marked as lost. We have a few questions: 1) Should this be treated as an enhancement or a bug (If it's an enhancement then we would enable/disable it's functionality based upon a system preference. If it's a bug (as I advocate), then it would be always enabled and no system preference would be added) 2) If the items is 'in transit' where should the items holding library be set to when it is marked as lost (the from or to library). 3) If we consider this a bug, should we add handling for cleaning up the transfers table at upgrade time for any lost items.
