--- Comment #24 from Olli-Antti Kivilahti <olli-antti.kivilahti at jns.fi> ---
Firstly two merge conflicts: (got it working tho)
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/css/staff-global.css
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl

Cronjob seems to work as intended and is a welcome addition.

The purpose of the items.new-column is unclear. I didn't manage to get it
populated, even if the comments here say that the cronjob's purpose is to empty
the new-column.

Apparently the new-column is a field, but then again it is a flag, and in the
CREATE TABLE directive it is a VARCHAR(32). It is also the (status == new).
It is extremely confusing.

Apparently we can use it as we want, but then shouldn't it be labeled as such.
My suggestion, replace the new-column definition with this:
CREATE TABLE...
 `system_note` VARCHAR(32) DEFAULT NULL, -- You can put whatever free-text
information regarding this item here. This field is meant for local
modifications only and should not be used in features intended for master
...
