by David Cook 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hi Owen, Do you have any documentation for preferred us of jQuery tabs? I'm looking at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_patterns but nothing is jumping out at me.

schema.koha-community.org
by Mark Tompsett 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Greetings, Currently, it lists whatever is run as of a particular date. Is there a way to version it? There are currently 181 tables, not 175. So, this is clearly the difference between master and a release. https://schema.koha-community.org/{version}/... Just inquiring and thinking out loud. GPML, Mark Tompsett

Sending Mail...
by Mark Tompsett 25 Aug '16

Greetings, Jonathan Druart wrote on the Koha list: > When you claim issues, the email is sent directly and does not pass by > the message_queue table. This sounds like an area for massive refactorization: the standardization of sending mail. Does it not? GPML, Mark Tompsett

Git server downtime for maintenance, Aug 24, 2016
by Larry Baerveldt 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Greetings, The Koha Community git server (git.koha-community.org) will be down for maintenance on Wed, Aug. 24, 2016, starting on or shortly after 7 pm PDT (2 am UTC). We cannot say for certain exactly how long the site will be down, but we hope it will be less than an hour. It would probably be best to avoid committing any updates to git during that hour. - Larry -- *Larry Baerveldt* Systems Administrator ByWater Solutions Support and Consulting for Open Source Software Headquarters: Santa Barbara, CA Office: Seattle, WA Phone/Fax (888)900-8944 http://bywatersolutions.com larry(a)bywatersolutions.com What is Koha? <http://bywatersolutions.com/what-is-koha/>

Move the AV code to the Koha namespace
by Jonathan Druart 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi devs, I have already started to move the authorised values related code to the Koha namespace, but to continue I'd like to get feedback on the method to continue. I have asked you in the last "what's on in koha-devel" email, but did not get any answer. Please see bug 15799 for the step-by-step plan. Cheers, Jonathan https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15799

That's what you >should do, instead of comparing 3.8 vs 3.18 Yes, I did. Please see my email to this list Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:46:04 -0400. (8 core Intel I7, 16 Gigs RAM, SSD) -- and it's still between three and four times slower. Slight difference, it was on Ubuntu 16.04, but with MySQL re-installed to the "older" standard. I only "propagated" the 3.18 comparison because (a) I wrote it up, fully annotated, and it has all the NYTProf analyses, and (b) it makes the point about (not) multi-threading. I did not do such a full analysis with 16.05. And I do backport (or otherwise) fix security issues if and when I become aware of them...

When I looked into "speed" some time ago <http://navalmarinearchive.com/z_koha/>, it was the fact that multi-core processing was not possible (Intel 8-core I7 machine.)
