Koha 17.05 Release Notes - Draft One ( 2nd attempt ; )
I think my first attempt may be caught in mailing list moderation, so here is a link to the markdown version available on GitHub: https://github.com/kylemhall/Koha/blob/bc497cd58a874c4c10f214e7c2a8d5b35aa47...

Hi Kyle & al, Some comments : * About [17196] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17196> Move marcxml out of the biblioitems table = o shouldn't it be also at the header, to be clearly visible (the warning about SQL report not working anymore) ? o are you sure of "SQL queries on the marcxml data will get a performance boost" ? I think it's "SQL queries that use biblioitems bot not marcxml data will get a bit performance boost" * there are a lot of enhancements related to internal/plumbing. That's great. But as they are, in the Release Notes, my feeling is that they are so many that other enhancements are "lost". * i'd like to see HEA v2 ([18066] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18066> ) promoted in the header, as well as ElasticSearch progress (various patches) * [17855] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17855> New onboarding tool feature to guide users through setting up Koha, and minor web installer UI improvements => it's in "new feature". Shouldn't it be in "enhancements" instead ? Same feeling for [14224] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14224> patron notes about item shown at check in * [12461] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12461> Add patron clubs feature => deserve some details ! * shouldn't * [17486] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17486> Remove 'Mozilla Persona' as an authentication method be in the header of the RNotes ? * shouldn't [17762] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17762> Ability to translate notices be considered as a new feature ? * [17960] <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17960> Rename opac_news.new with opac_news.content NOTICE - If you are using opac_news.new in your notice templates, you should update it to opac_news.content o => it should be in the header (easy to miss it) * at the end = The branch for this version of Koha and future bugfixes in this release line is *bug17618-qa*. => just to double check: it's auto-generated and will be correct in the final release, isn't it ?

Id say the on boarding tool is definitely a new feature. I agree with the plumbing ones though, no one except devs care about them I would put them last or even leave them out.

I don't know if I want to remove the 'plumbing' bugs altogether. Simply having them there shows the healthy development Koha goes thought. That being said I think the idea of moving those to the bottom in favor of highlighting the types of bugs that librarians can visually see and experience is a pretty good idea.

Hi Paul and all, In fact I'm cut & paste comments in bugzilla to insert them into 'Text for release note'. In fact Release Notes are done by a script but if we change bugzilla, it change also it !! Bye Zeno Tajoli
