Heads up: upcoming creation of 3.14.x branch
by Galen Charlton 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi, I intend to branch 3.14.x some time next week -- let's say Wednesday -- to allow passed-QA patches to continue to flow onto master, and I'll cherry-pick onto 3.14.x patches suitable for inclusion in the general release of 3.14.0 -- in other words, bugfixes that don't change strings. For the sake of simplicity, I will hold off on pushing any patches that add a DB revision until after 3.14.0 is released (unless, of course, one is needed to fix a release blocker).

Continue maintenance of 3.8?
by Galen Charlton 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi, At the moment, nobody has yet volunteered to be RMaint for 3.8.x. Given that the number of bugfixes trickling down that far has slowed significantly, it seems reasonable to de-support 3.8.x when 3.14 is released, but I thought I would pose the question: is anybody keen to keep that branch going?

Re: [Koha-devel] OPAC theme proposal

245$c in OPAC
by Paul A 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Is Bug 9490 - "Show responsibility statement (245c) under title and move authors down in OPAC XSLT" the best (only?) way to go? Or is there a "quick" (js?) way to show MARC 245$s (statement of responsibility) in the OPAC "normal view"? [Koha 3.8.5] It's a request from our cataloguers who held a "Koha workshop" with a number of users (university profs and students) earlier this week. Marcel's proposal seems to fit the requirement perfectly. Thanks and br, Paul
