25 Nov '10

Hi All I have pushed up 7 branches on git.koha-community.org new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_memb_circ_upd new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_admin new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_various new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_serials new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_cataloguing new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_opac new/awaiting_qa/biblibre_acquisitions They are all awaiting QA. Another branch new/biblibre_reports Has been through initial QA, and feedback has been sent to Biblibre, once that has been dealt with, that branch will be merged. The other branches do need QA done on them though, before they can move on. Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Upgrades ====================== The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different. During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x.

The home page for Koha documentation is http://koha-community.org/documentation/ As of the date of these release notes, several translations of the Koha manual are available: English: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/ Spanish: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-es/ French: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-fr/ The Git repository for the Koha manual can be found at http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=summary Translations ====================== Complete or near-complete translations of the OPAC and staff interface are available in this release for the following languages: * Chinese * Danish * English (New Zealand) * English (USA) * French (France) * French (Canada) * German * Greek * Hindi * Italian * Norwegian * Portuguese * Spanish * Turkish Translation related commits new to 3.2.1: * Staff interface .po file updates * Russian and Ukranian opac language updates * Ukranian and Russian syspref language updates * German and italian language updates Partial translations are available for various other languages.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Borrowers' password encryption method in database

I found a solution for php: $str = rtrim (base64_encode (pack ('H*', md5 ('123456'))), '='); This returns the desired string in 22 characters, rtrim used for discarding trailing '=' pad characters.

Borrowers' password encryption method in database
by Altaf Mahmud 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi, I want to know how Koha saves its borrowers' password in database? Is it one-way conversion? For example, if a password is saved as '4QrcOUm6Wau+VuBX8g+IPg', can I decode it back to its original text which was '123456'? Thanks. -- Altaf Mahmud System Programmer Ayesha Abed Library BRAC University Bangladesh.

I am catching up on commits to update the manual and have a question about this one. The homeorholdingbranch system preference says that it's going to be removed soon in the description ... so how is this a new preference? Or should the description be updated?

How do MARC limitations on record size relate to Solr/Indexing or Zebra indexing which lacks Solr/Lucene support in the current version?

Run ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m to get a list of any new modules to install during upgrade. Upgrades ====================== The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different. During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x.

The home page for Koha documentation is http://koha-community.org/documentation/ As of the date of these release notes, several translations of the Koha manual are available: English: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/ Spanish: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-es/ French: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-fr/ The Git repository for the Koha manual can be found at http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=summary Translations ====================== Complete or near-complete translations of the OPAC and staff interface are available in this release for the following languages: * Chinese * Danish * English (New Zealand) * English (USA) * French (France) * French (Canada) * German * Greek * Hindi * Italian * Norwegian * Portuguese * Spanish * Turkish Translation related commits new to 3.2.1: * Staff interface .po file updates * Russian and Ukranian opac language updates * Ukranian and Russian syspref language updates * German and italian language updates Partial translations are available for various other languages.
