Hi all,

It’s probably not the right time of year for inventory.pl improvements, but I’ve got a raft of changes for improving inventory.pl:

Bug 31744 - Inventory tool can take a long time and never complete

Bug 33989 - Inventory tool performs unnecessary authorized value lookups

Bug 34051 - Koha::AuthorisedValues->get_description_by_koha_field not caching results for non-existent values

If you dislike how slow inventory.pl is and how it has a tendency to timeout in managed IT environments, then you’ll probably like these changes. I’ve applied the first 2 locally, and my librarians are much happier as a result.
