[Koha-devel] next version next week

[paul POULAIN]

Hi,

The next version of Koha should be released next week (tuesday or friday).

It will be called "2.0.0RC1" and be in the stable tree.
The Koha team think the 2.0.0 branch is stable enough now to be used in 
real world.
Note it still has some defaults/bugs, but it's useable.
With the 2.0.0RC1 release, a new branch will be created. It will be the 
"2.0.0 branch". The main trunk will be "open" to new features (some ppl 
in Esiee are waiting to commit nice things like LDAP auth...). The 2.0.0 
branch will be used for bugfixes only.

At least 4 libraries are already using Koha 2.0.0 in production :
* Nelsonville, Ohio, USA
* Dombes Abbey, France
* Esiee, Paris, France
* Wesford, Grenoble, France

and some others are investigating and should adopt Koha soon.

The RC1 version will :
* solve some bugs in Koha, in the installer,
* provides some useful tools in misc directory to help DB maintenance.
* improve some screen in OPAC & librarian interface.
* add a polish version (courtesy of Benedykt)

Keep fingers crossed :-)
