           Summary: Renewals calculated improperly
           Product: Koha
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Circulation
        AssignedTo: paul.poulain at free.fr
        ReportedBy: oleonard at athenscounty.lib.oh.us

The way Koha previously functioned, when an item is renewed it sets the due date
to X days from today, where X is the number of days that item circulates.  So,
if an item was due on 5 Feb 2005, and you renew it on 14 Feb 2005, and your circ
period is two weeks, the item should now be due on 28 Feb 2005--two weeks from
the day it was renewed.

Koha now does it differently, and I don't know when (or why) it changed.  Now
Koha simply ads X number of days to the original due date.  So if the item was
due on 5 Feb 2005 and you renew it, it's now due on 19 Feb 2005.  If you renew
an item on 17 Feb 2005 that was originally due on 3 Mar 2005, the due date is
made 17 Mar 2005.

If this new behavior is intentional, then there needs to be a way to choose the
old way of renewing instead.
