Hi all, Koha 2.0.0pre2 has just been released : http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha/ RELEASE NOTES ============= Bugfixes & some improvements (security & perf only) It has been placed in the "unstable tree" because there are still some bugs. But it's fully usable, and should not be modified a lot until a stable version is released. DB modifications : --------- None, but check that your systempreferences table is : CREATE TABLE systempreferences ( variable varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', value varchar(200) default NULL, explanation varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', options text, type varchar(20) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (variable) ) PACK_KEYS=1; If you installed a 2.0.0pre1 from scratch, it should be ok. If your version was a 1.9.x, it should not be ok. SYSTEMPREFS : --------- In systempreferences, add a gist field. Used to calculate gst when ordering, in acquisition module. Enter 0.12 for 12% rate. IMPROVMENTS : --------- * checkmarc.pl : added a check on fields mapped to item marc tag (by Paul). * overdue books backported from 1.2.x (& templated) (by Chris) * some additionals check to verify a borrower can borrow a book (by Esiee) * MARC search (in intranet) : - dramaticaly improving the speed of a MARC search in case of a A OR B search (by Paul) - Users can search using more than 3 criterias (criterias are now added dynamically) (by Esiee) - Results can be displayed using 20,50 or 100 results per page. (by Esiee) - Added arrows and numbers to walk through the results (as in OPAC) (by Esiee) BUGS FIXED : --------- * 2 stupids & majors bug in MARC editor, due to too fast copy/paste.
