From the Kaitiaki

5 July, 2002 To the Koha community; hello, This week, we've got something to celebrate! Yesterday was the day we celebrate our Independence in the United States. I think that we're well on our way to declaring our independence from proprietary library systems. Koha is moving along nicely, and it seems that other porjects that dovetail nicely with ours are doing well to. 1.2 1.2.1 hit the streets yesterday. It included improvements to the installer, the inclusion of sample data (for testing), improvements in the Z39.50 system, and a number of bugfixes. Chris has plans for more improvements in the 1.2 series, but we'd encourage you to install 1.2.1 instead of waiting. The newer 1.2 releases will be a very simple upgrade from your existing systems, which means less pain for you. Getting involved in 1.2 now means that you'll have the opportunity to help steer the project through your input, which means more gain for you. Less pain and more gain is a win all the way around. Translations This is the first note that will be translated (as far as I know). I'm looking forward to seeing a whole new group becoming involved in Koha as each set of translations starts up. If you're interested in translating this or other Koha documents, please get in touch with me (<kaitiaki(a)koha.org>) to find out if anyone else is working in your language already. Community We've had another Koha support vendor start up this week, this time in Nigeria. Beyond this, we're starting to talk in more detail with librarians about helping to steer the project. Two big developments outside the Koha project are worth noting: * the MARC::Record project has released version 1.00 of their software. This is a big step for them, and represents a major win for the larger free software for libraries community. * a new project is starting up to develop a SIP and NCIP module for Perl. This project is already talking to some Koha developers as well as the people in the MyLibrary project. We're already using MARC::Record in our 1.4 development, and are looking forward to having SIP/NCIP tools that we can merge into Koha as well. Projects like this are a great boon to us and to other library projects. I'd encourage anyone with the skills and interest to support worthy projects like this in any way you can. A project is underway to start developing a larger organization to help coordinate work within free software for library projects. As more information develops, I'll share it here. Koha is continuing to build momentum and the community is growing as well. This really is your chance to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new endeavor. Whether you choose to get involved in Koha, MyLibrary, MARC::Record, the new SIP/NCIP project, or some other Free Software project doesn't matter, what matters is that you get involved. You can write code if you're able, write documentation if you're up to it, or test new software releases if you have the hardware. There are a lot of ways that you can get involved, the important thing is that you do. happy hacking, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki of the Koha Project

Re: using data in a variable with MARC::Record

Steve, thanks for submitting this back to them. It may be worth announcing here, but the MARC::Record folks just released version 1.000. I don't know what (if any) differences there are in the API. -pate

Dan, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I've been in the midst of a very hectic week. Without further ado ...

If you're planning on writing your own code for this, it would be nice to try to roll that (along with the changes needed to modularize things) into the Koha sources. -pate Kaitiaki the Koha Project > >Dan >Trustee, Pillsbury Free Library, Warner NH USA >

Koha 1.2.1
by Pat Eyler 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

Koha 1.2.1 is ready! After almost a month of planning, coding, testing, and tweaking we've put together a new version of Koha for your book lending pleasure. Koha 1.2.1 represents a major improvement over 1.2.0. We've spent a great deal of time working on the installer/upgrader, and using these tools are now the recommended way of installing Koha on your system. Koha 1.2.1 includes our new manual, which should help you get up and running faster. The Z39.50 sub-system has been overhauled and is now much better (and easier to install to boot!). We've also cleaned up a number of bugs that crept into the 1.2.0 release -- and begun to build up our testing procedures to reduce new bugs in future releases. Please download the latest release of Koha (and find out lots more about the project) at <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/koha/>. We encourage you to get this new release and give it a spin. We think you'll like what you see. We plan on continuing to improve Koha, and would love to have you come along on this exciting journey.
