--- Comment #43 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I have started testing this yesterday and after sleeping over it, there is
something that worries me:

1) After update, the new column publisheddatetext is empty in the database for
all existing issues, but when you receive new issues, the field is always
filled with the publisheddate if you don't change it manually. My feeling is,
that we should not fill the field, when there is no new information in it. 
Also, is it helpful if you have to delete the date first before you can type in
"April 2013"?

In the templates that would work nicely as they already fall back to the
publisheddate when the new field is empty:
[% newserialloo.publisheddatetext || newserialloo.publisheddate %]

2) If you are going to touch the patches - could you also add the bug number to
the updatedatabase?

3) The table in serials-edit.pl is a little broken, when you are adding items
for each issue. The colspan needs to be increased to 6 there now in the last
row.

<td colspan="5">
      <a id="label[% serialslis.subscriptionid %]...">
             Click to add item</a>
