Koha 3.0 Stable Release Plan
by Joshua Ferraro 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hi folks, I've done an audit of the outstanding bugs in Bugzilla and have found 39 are marked as blocker, major, or critical: http://tinyurl.com/5hysmf There are an additional 157 marked 'normal': http://tinyurl.com/5apjsy Galen and I discussed the blocker, major, critical issues and concluded we could address them with a concerted effort before Monday, June 16th. I'd like to set that as the date for releasing 3.0-stableRC1, then do a string freeze, to allow translators to wrap up any changes to translations, and then a final 3.0-stable on July 1. I do request that those of you using and programming Koha take a look at the outstanding bugs in both categories, and flesh out any issues in more detail where you can -- and if you feel a bug in the 'normal' category should be prioritized, please speak out. Thanks to everyone who's contributed, even in small ways, to the major improvements to this new version of Koha.

Re: [Koha-devel] updates to patron messaging (bug 2176)
by Andrew Moore 20 Jun '08

I have submitted essentially these same patches. I made a new syspref "EnhancedMessagingPreferences" to turn them off. It defaults to off. I'm hopeful that once this feature becomes a little more complete and stable I can eliminate that.

Large patch series for bug 2000
by Galen Charlton 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, I have submitted a series of patches to fix the blocker bug 2000. Since the patches are extensive, I wanted to point them out, not just rely on people catching them on the patches list. The bug has to do with the separate admin scripts for editing fines rules and loan rules. Since both scripts edit rows in the issuingrules table but don't directly tie the fine and loan rules together, it was possible for a user to subtly misconfigure their circulation rules. For example, if a user creates a loan rule for a default patron category, then creates a fine rule for a more specific one, the new fine rule will have an empty loan component that silently overrides the first loan rule. Please read the patch description for the complete details, but here's a summary of what I did: * made some improvements to smart-rules.pl (the "alternate" circ rules editor) to allow it to replace issuingrules.pl and finesrules.pl * created several new database tables to store maximum allowed checkouts across item types without having to rely on a special interpretation of the wildcard character in issuingrules.itemtype * clarified how issuingrules is searched: when trying to find a loan rule for a given branch, itemtype, and patron category, Koha now searches for the most specific rule that matches, then looks for less specific ones.

Two RSS-related problems

RSS for search When I try to access the RSS for a search, e.g. /cgi-bin/koha/opac-rss.pl?q=bing I get an error: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-rss.pl line 127.

RSS for cron The file /usr/share/koha/misc/rss/rss.pl contains no perl-code, just a template similar to lastAcquired.tmpl.

Subscriptions bugs
by henridamien.laurent 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi, I am comitting myself to fix the many bugs that we encounter at the moment with subscription management : - duplicating a subscription is not really handy. - Editing a subscription requires you to reedit irregularities, otherwise, they are "forgotten" or you cannot even save the subscription. - itemization creates unrequired items. And all the bugs that should come along with those. This requires deep refactoring of the page in order to cope with already stored value. It also requires some modifications in the database. For instance : adding subscription_frequencies and subscription_numberpatterns tables, so that user can easily add new number_patterns and frequency. It will also require to specify what we want the user to be able to add in terms of number patterns. My main problem is that I want the numbering pattern to take into account the frequency entered. But this can be done with two ways : the numbering pattern could be restricted to a frequency, then all the figures would be related to that peculiar frequency (So we should have an authoritative frequency table). Or we can tell that for instance everyX, or whenmorethanX or even lasvalueX is/are related to frequency and the relation between the frequency and the figure. More easily, adding alternative numeration (Roman, season, monthname and dayname) can be done quite easily using Locale and Roman Perl Module. (Could be integrated into 3.2 Version) I am hoping to get something that I can send for testing and for comments by next Tuesday. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT BibLibre SARL http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc tel : +33 4 67 65 75 50 _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel(a)nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel(a)lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel

RFCs for 3.2
by Galen Charlton 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi, While we work on bugfixing for 3.0, it is also time to give a concrete thought or two for the future. Today I will start sending LibLime's RFCs for new features for 3.2. I have created a page for the RFCs on the wiki: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2 As many of the RFCs are lengthy, I will be mailing only the summaries; the details will be on the wiki page for each RFC.

Re: [Koha-devel] Creating an INSTALL.opensuse file and Koha 3 and openSUSE versions
by Ricardo Dias Marques 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi all, I just created a web page in the Koha Developer Wiki - http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php - explaining how to install Koha 3 in openSUSE 11 (RC1). The page that I created is located here: Installation Guide for Installing Koha 3 on openSUSE 11 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=opensuse_11.0 I think that this work is almost finished. Feel free to review it and send comments (by replying to this post in the mailing list). If you decide to change the page in the wiki, please inform here in the Mailing List about what changes you made! :) Well, it's already past 1:00 AM here now. Time to go to sleep!
