Hi all,

early on in a release cycle is the best moment to discuss, test and progress on big changes proposed for Koha. These can have adverse effects, so we want as many people as possible involved in testing. The first of these bugs we want to ask for help with is:

Bug 20271 - Merge deleted biblio, biblioitems, biblio_metadata, and items tables
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20271

The proposed patches merge the tables for active bibliograhic and item data.

Testing can be done on a development environment using the remote branch listed in the URL field on Bugzilla:

https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/commits/bug_20271

Any findings can be added to Bugzilla, be discussed on the mailing list or IRC. We've also set up a FramaCalc file that you can add notes to get some ideas from for testing:

https://lite.framacalc.org/9hdw-bug_20271

We are looking for as much feedback as possible until the end of next week. The more buzz, the happier we will be!

Best wishes,

Katrin
