Updater : proposition.
by Henri-Damien LAURENT 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Looking at updater/updatedatabase, it looks like a real mess.... Especially if we think about all the big advances we shall make with the next version , would it be called 2.4 or 3.0 ;)))). So we propose that we could assume that from now on, in head version updater should take on the evolution from version 2.2 to 3.0 and give up all the evolution from 1.2 to 2.2 which would make it too big and too messy to be really maintainable. If nobody needs such a big file any longer, we shall change it. Thanks. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

FreeBSD Port
by Jared Camins-Esakov 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hello all. I am new to Koha (haven't even installed it yet!), so my apologies if this subject has already come up. I am a FreeBSD user, and I noticed that Koha is not available in the FreeBSD ports tree. Installing Koha appears to be fairly straightforward, but I figure if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it right and make a FreeBSD port. My question, therefore, is: has anyone ported Koha to the FreeBSD ports system? If so, does anyone know how I can get a copy of the Makefile? Also, are there any patches that FreeBSD users have found it necessary to apply? Any chance I could get my hands on those as well? Thanks in advance. -- Jared Camins-Esakov P.S. For those who don't know, the FreeBSD ports system uses Makefiles that are NOT a part of the software package that is being installed. I am not asking about any Makefiles that might be included in the Koha distribution. -- Jared Camins-Esakov E-mail: camins2(a)tcnj.edu

RE: [Koha-devel] Fedora 4
by Shawn Romine 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Thanks for the quick reply. Also, I wanted to commend you on your excellent and professional documentation. It is the quality work being done by you and others on this project that is making this a viable solution. Once I saw KOHA itself, the documentation, and the excellent support on this listserv, I was able to go to the college and say this is something we should be researching. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Ferraro [mailto:jmf@liblime.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 7:12 AM To: Shawn Romine Cc: koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Fedora 4 Hi Shawn, I haven't had a chance to install FC4 yet so I haven't updated the installation manual. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work though. -- Joshua Ferraro VENDOR SERVICES FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Koha ILS, Mambo Intranet, DiscrimiNet Filter jmf(a)liblime.com | Full Demos at http://liblime.com | 1(888)KohaILS

Koha 2.2.3 is out
by Paul POULAIN 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=336931 ======== WARNINGS ======== * READ the following NOTES carefully. Look at BORROWERS especially if you want to know why your circulation won't work after update !!! * The installer is *wrong* on languages available. In this release, french & english are uptodate. Polish is uptodate for OPAC. Some other .po files are provided (chinese & italian, in $KOHAROOT/intranet/scripts/misc/translator/po) but they are not uptodate & need some work to be useable again. * The librarian interface is tested only with mozilla/firefox. Should work (partially) with IE. OPAC should work fine with any navigator. KNOWN BUG : ****** in MARC setup, if you have more than once a field mapped to a give authorised value, when you duplicate a field (whatever the field), all authorised values are defaulted to the same value. Bug still unexplained. Don't occur if you just modify a biblio, or when you have only once a given authorised value category. Bug detected by EMN, that has a "LANG" authorised value for both "text language" and "original text language". ======= DIFFS ======= Diff 2.2.2 => 2.2.3 ******************* DB MODIFS : *********** DB structure : none DB content : 4 systempreferences (see below) Koha opac stylesheets : some changes and at least 4 added entries. BUGFIXES ***** Critical & Minor mixed === ACQUISITION === * adding supplier info to basket.pl (for order printing) * adding a date filter on acquisition history search === OPAC === * minor fix in subject link (normal view) === CATALOGUE === * it's possible to change a framework type when editing a biblio * (critical) bugfix in authorities : in biblio repeated fields, when you choosed an authority entries, it was copied in all the fields, not only in one. * bugfix : when you duplicate a MARC field (for the 2nd time or more), the last field was duplicated too. * bugfix in subject link, in normal view * bugfix when duplicate authority suspected, the link to see the other authority was wrong. * bugfix in items : the Edit biblio button was wrong. * bugfix when MARC=OFF, subject modifs were not stored in MARC database. * bugfix in z3950 client, for BNF (problem probably due to upgrading of some sofwtare in UNIMARC) * fix in z3950 server. Now works correctly === AUTHORITIES === * bugfix in "next page" in authority search (was buggy under certain circumstances only) === CIRCULATION === * bugfix : checking issuing rules under certain circumstances was buggy (reported issuing OK where it should not) * bugfix : renewal by issuing a book again did not work correctly. === BORROWERS === * better management of joining & expiry dates : - dates can be manually typed when adding a borrower. - Empty fields are automatically calculated (joining = today & expiry date calculated from borrower category) - Expiry date can be modified * checking expiry date when trying to issue a book & forbidding issuing when expiry date reached. ** IMPORTANT ** This check was not done before. Thus, you may be unable to issue books where you could before. You can update your database borrower by borrower or with the following SQL command on the server : "update borrowers set expiry='2005-31-12'". You can limit the update to a borrower category with "update borrowers set expiry='2005-31-12' where categorycode='A'" (all SQL commands must be typed without any ") * template improvements & some bugfixes in fines management. === PARAMETERS === * in marctagstructure, next & previous button no more loose frameworkcode & link to default framework IMPROVEMENTS === ACQUISITION === * in history search, a filter has been added on order date. * there are now 2 differents totals : one for rrp column & one for est column === CATALOGUE === * There is also a FindDuplicate feature for MARC Authorities * Dictionnary search : for titles, author & subject, there is now a "dictionnary search". when the user clic on ..., a popup appear, that enable search in biblios as well as in authorities. For example, if user clic on author, and enter "Hugo", he will fing all authors & authority having "Hugo". He then can choose the Hugo he want and run the search with what he has found (& other criteria as well if he want) * it's now possible to change the framework of a biblio * the overduenotice.pl script (that sends a mail to borrowers with late issues) contains the list of late items (title, author) === PARAMETERS === * a new button in marctagstructure.pl has been added : if selected, only actived fields/subfields are shown. Subfields used are in a summary just under the tag. Strongly limits the number of lines shown & more user friendly. * Adding 2 checks in marc parameter checking : only 1 MARC tag must be mapped to item tab and warning if there is NULL in a frameworkcode' === REPORTS === * in "borrowers with no issues" wizard, adding "without issues since" === OPAC === * basket / bookbag sending now has item list and an iso2709 file attached * links to reach suggestions & virtual shelves from any OPAC page * improvements in style sheet for better standard compliance. OPAC works perfectly under opera & konqueror. * added a systempref to define an alternate image as logo (for main page & top-left image on each page) * added a systempref to choose either to show or hide "lost" items. Note that "lost items" can be related to an authorised value list, so does not necessary mean "item definetly lost". Even here, some libraries want to see lost items, and some don't want. This parameter will make everybody happy ! * adding a "complete historyview" for subscription. Show year by year all issues, whatever the status (arrived, missing...). A new systempref as been added to choose between simple & complete history view. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
