Hi all koha-fans, A few hours before the IRC meeting, i'm happy to announce that Koha 2.1.2 has been released : RELEASE NOTES ============= ROADMAP : A roadmap for Koha 2.2 is available here : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=KohaRoadmap This is the 3nd UNSTABLE VERSION of the future Koha 2.2. Please install this version only if you want to test and give some help to the team that develops this software. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use it on a production machine. WARNING : * This version is ONLY available in ENGLISH. biblio frameworks are only available in UNIMARC - french. * This version is tested only with mozilla. Should work (partially) with IE. * Any 2.1.0 install must be uninstalled before installing 2.1.1 No update is provided for 2.1.0. INSTALLATION * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./installer.pl * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 2.0.0preX or RCx version * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./koha.upgrade * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 1.2.x version : UPGRADE TO A 2.0.0 version before upgrading to 2.1.2 This will be mandatory for the 2.2 official release. UPDATE from a 2.1.x version is NOT AVAILABLE. Don't install 2.1.2 on a 2.1.x test database. A lot of DB changes have been done since 2.1.x & could not be handled by the DB updater. ============ WHAT'S NEW ============ * Barcode printing : a barcode printing module has been added in the "parameters" module. It requires PDF::API2 Perl module. this requirement is NOT tested by the installer, and will be non-mandatory on official 2.2.0 release. * A lot of bugfixes. The list is too long to be done. This "snapshot" is a good basis for translation process. Feel free to subscribe to koha-translate and become involved in a localisation to your own language. =========== WHAT'S NEXT =========== This version is quite stable. The next one should be called "2.2.0RC1". It still requires some work in LDAP handling. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
