Hi everyone, April is a big month with the forthcoming major release of Koha 3.4.0. So in order to yield the stage to the 3.4.0 release, the 3.2.7 release will take place one week earlier than our normal schedule on 15 April 2011. This puts 3.2.x into string freeze on 8 April 2011. 3.2.x will return to its normal release schedule on the 22nd of the month in May with 3.2.8. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Koha 3.2.x Release Maintainer

Hi everyone, One thing that worries me about 3.4 is the design changes done by me in the 3.2.x versions. There will be changes in the structure of Koha? Or there will be the same modules, includes than in the versions 3.2.x? My worry it's because some changes of my design are done directly in the modules and includes (littles changes). The biggests changes are done in the opac.css. The opac.css will be changed in the version 3.4? About translations, I'm happy to contribute in the portuguese translations, which are almost completed. :) Regards. Vitor Fernandes 2011/3/29 Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com>:

You can see exactly what is going to be in 3.4 by looking in the master branch
My worry it's because some changes of my design are done directly in the modules and includes (littles changes). The biggests changes are done in the opac.css. The opac.css will be changed in the version 3.4?
These are local changes you have done? But not tracked in git? If you tracked them in git, then you should be able to apply the changes to master (or the 3.4.x branch when it is created)
About translations, I'm happy to contribute in the portuguese translations, which are almost completed. :)
Great news Chris
My changes are local for one library here in Portugal. Where I can consult the master branch of 3.4? Regards Vitor Fernandes 2011/3/29 Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>:

The biggest changes are done in the opac.css. The opac.css will be changed in the version 3.4?
Koha provides great options for loading custom CSS, so changes to the default opac.css should never be necessary. You should move your changed CSS declarations to a separate CSS file and put that on your server in the same place you find opac.css. Then specify that file in the (misleadingly named) opaccolorstylesheet preference. Alternatively, you can put all your custom CSS in the OPACUserCSS preference, although that method is less efficient and should usually be reserved for installations where the library doesn't have access to the Koha file system. Most of the changes to opac.css in 3.4 should be additive, so I don't think you'll run into too many issues with your custom changes. You'll have to test well, as always. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if I can provide more details. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Per my original proposal ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/3_2_x_Release_Maintainer), After the release of 3.4.0, I will go to a bi-monthly release schedule for 3.2.x. So after 3.2.7 next month (April) we will have 3.2.8 in June assuming there are patches submitted against it. If no patches are submitted, we will wait until August, and so on. When we release 3.6.0, I will recommend we EOL 3.2.x at our monthly general meeting. At that point, if there are patches in the queue, I will do a final release. This is very much dependent upon people submitting patches against 3.2.x. If none are submitted, then no releases will be made. I plan to do this in parallel with 3.4.x maintenance, and follow the same general plan with 3.4.x when we reach 3.6.0. Suggestions are always welcome. :-) Kind Regards, Chris
