Does anyone know if this upgrade 3.4.5 will fix the "detect duplicates" feature when importing records? When I import records, Koha cannot identify the duplicate records (even though the ISBNs are identical). I have reported the problem to the bug fixers but was wondering if the upgrade fixes it. -----Original Message----- From: koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] On Behalf Of Chris Nighswonger Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 7:44 AM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz; koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org; koha-translate@lists.koha-community.org Subject: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.4.5 is now available It is with pleasure that I announce the release of Koha 3.4.5.
