Hi,
For discussion, here is a list of some of some things I would like to see in 3.16. This is not meant to be complete; please feel free to use this thread both to comment on my goals and to suggest goals that you're personally willing to advocate for -- and by advocate for, I mean that you and/or the institutions who support your Koha activity are ready and willing to take concrete steps to help implement it. I ask that if all you have is an idea -- no matter how good! -- but not any concrete code or plans to have it be ready in the next few months -- please start a different thread. I'd like to see as many of the 70 improvements or new features already submitted by BibLibre (plus more coming) being signed-off, QAed and
Le 10/12/2013 01:59, Galen Charlton a écrit : pushed (Sorry if I appear a little bit rude) Same thing for the 120 improvements or new features not submitted by BibLibre and that are in the same status.
[1] Deprecation of the GRS-1 mode for Zebra. +1
Obstacles: the default UNIMARC indexing rules for the DOM filter need more testing. There is also an ongoing discussion about the desired semantics for the Any index, which at present behaves differently with the current DOM indexing rules as compared with GRS-1. And BibLibre should be a leader here, I apologize because we aren't
Upgrade considerations: in order to truly deprecate the GRS-1 filter, at some point there will have to be a forced reindexing upon upgrade. Note that when upgrading from 3.6 to 3.8 (iirc), one also had to run a separate script to remove items from marcxml, so having a "complex" upgrade is "uncommon" but not "never happened"
[2] Use DBIx::Class to deploy the database schema for new installations. No opinion, because I'm not sure I see all the consequences.
[3] Relaunch PostgreSQL support As a long term goal, I'm fine with that, but I don't think I'll invest any time for now. Better adding DBIx::Class support imho.
[4] Upgrade the version of Bootstrap we use to 3.x. +1 As much as I'm personally not exactly a fan of the changes that were made to the CSS class names, we're much better off if we bite the bullet now and update both staff and OPAC to use the new version of Bootstrap rather than, two years down the road, finding out that we're completely stuck on Boostrap 2.3. +10
