Okay, it’s a couple months sitting there, and I figure it’s the enhancement
status is part of the reason people haven’t gotten to looking at it. The other
part being just that everyone is very busy.

Bug 7567 has 8
patches which are actually fixes, for the most part (adding testing vs. really
insufficient test, updating licenses, cleaning up the sample news data, cleaning
up a warning, correcting an incorrect dropdown behaviour, removing finish()
calls, fixing the crazy long number of parameters into a hashref), and only the
last 2 are the actual enhancements (adding branchcode into the opac_news table,
and then actually using it). I intentionally split it into small easily testable
pieces. It would nice to see it signed off. Thanks in advance.
