RELEASE NOTES
* standard acquisition and MARC cataloguing now both useable at the same time.
* MANY bugfixes.
* almost everything now templated. A few admin scripts still to template.
* inclusion of some  pictures to say "add", "modify", "delete" in many places.
* the koha-html cvs tree is now UNUSED, and no mode included in this release. the koha cvs project contains everything.

TODO
* z39.50 support. A port from the 1.2.x z39.50 support needs to be done. Should be quick,
* fixing bugs. If you find a bug in this version, please take the plane and go for a trip to : bugs.koha.org

FEATURE FREEZE
feature freeze is there... only z39.50 will be added until 2.0RC1, which should be the next release !

KNOWN BUGS *IMPORTANT* :
* koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions.
* repeted subfields in MARC/iso2709 works poorly : only the 1st subfield is stored, other are ignored. At least, the 1st is right ! (in the 1.9.0, the 1st was buggied by other subfields too)
* In the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work : the result of the query is very strange !
* en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translator teams are waiting for more stable templates :-)

RELEASE NOTES
=============
This release add a lot of bugfixes, a 1st z3950 support, and a script for migration from previous ILS.

FEATURE FREEZE !
---------
This version is the last version with new features before 2.0.
Please, report bugs on bugs.koha.org, and feel free to fix them (through patch or cvs commit)


PACKAGE NEEDED :
---------
Update your MARC::Record to get the latest version (1.26).
Koha won't work with old versions, and bulkmarcimport.pl need MARC::Batch.pm, whichi is recent.
MARC::Record 1.25 works to, but reports hundred of warnings in error_log. pls upgrage to 1.26 !


DB modifications :
---------
* the marc_breeding table has been modified. A row "encoding" varchar(40) has been added. It's used to manage character encoding.
* the z3950_servers table has been modified. A row "syntax" varchar(40) has been added. It's used to manage character encoding.

z3950 :
---------
* the z3950 script in admin part of Koha has been fixed and can be used and translated.
* z3950 cataloguing : when you reach the MARC-cataloguing screen, a new link appear : z3950 search.
* If you click on this link, a popup appears, and the search begins. The window is refreshed every 2 seconds, until all servers answered.
* The avaible records are shown in the popup. Click on the one you want, and... the popup closes and the biblio is copied in the cataloguing screen.

This works ONLY IF the z3950 daemon is launched. It's located at $kohadir/scripts/z3950daemon/
* MODIFY the scripts to fit you directory structure.
* Warning : due to a small bug, processqueue is in $kohadir/cgi-bin/z3950/ directory, not in the script one.
* Start daemon in a non-X shell, or launch processqueue in a shell, and KEEP IT OPEN.

iso2709 file import :
---------
This tools is very important and was waiting by libraries that plans to migrate from a previous ILS.
VERY IMPORTANT :
BEFORE using this script, take care of your MARC parameters, and check them twice. If they are wrong, you will get wrong results...

It's located (in CVS tree) at $koharoot/misc/bulkmarcimport.pl

It loads an iso2709 file into the ACTIVE Database. My 1st tests on sample files shows it works quite fine.
Feel free to try it.
How it works ? enter ./bulkmarcimport in a console, and look.

KNOWN LIMIT : If the barcode of an item does not exists, the scripts report an SQL error, and continue. BUT the corresponding item is not in the non-marc db, so it can't be requested or loaned.

sample file :
---------
The sample file has been removed from this release, as it's buggy (no MARC datas, making it quite useless)

Templates & translations :
---------
* Most images have been dropped from templates (all -except bugs- in french templates
* english is uptodate, and french should be too.

BUG FIXED (see bugs.koha.org for more infos)
=========
A lot... (around 35).
Thanks to Mike that fixed a lot,
Steve that fixes some,
MJ Ray that upgraded the installer for non-root install,
and Chris that fixed some and begins backport of non-marc stuff from 1.2

Bugs still open in bugs.koha.org
=======================
A lot... (around 60. some being really trivial to fix, some being more important)

TODO
=====
* some GUI reordering, as planned with Rachel from Katipo and others (paul & others)
* finishing backport of non-marc cataloguing & non-marc simple acquisition from 1.2 version (chris)
* bug fixes (everybody)
* cleaning z3950 old searches (more than 1 hour/day old ?) (paul)

RELEASE NOTES
=============
This release add many bugfixes, and some improvment in z3950 and repetable fields management.


PACKAGE NEEDED :
---------
Nothing new. Note MARC::Record has new releases, but older one (1.26) works fine.

DB modifications :
---------
No modif in the DB.

z3950 :
---------
* works on biblio adding & modifying
* works on ISBN, author, title, the 1st found being the one used.

various :
----------
* added subject and subtitle to MARC subfields mapped to Koha old-DB.
* reordered bookfunds/budget admin tools.

GUI reordering
------------------
* Some unused links have been dropped.
* a "submenu" shows some operation below main menu.
* the MARC link disappeared. It's managed by the MARC=ON/OFF systempref. (the breeding import is now in Parameters section)
* acquisition and cataloguing are now separated. acquisition=simple/normal in systempref and cataloguing is MARC/nonMARC depending on MARC=ON/OFF systempref.

Should be easier to understand.

Bugs still open in bugs.koha.org
=======================
always some, but less than in 1.9.3 (35 at this time)
Feel free to ask for bugfixes and new features in bugs.koha.org.
NOTE that NEW FEATURES or IMPROVEMENTS will only be for 2.0.1 unless it's a very trivial or blocking one.
