Dear Zeno,
Thanks. We have always used chr, so wouldn't have noticed. We do not use
many non-european characters, but the few that we do, seem to work (and
can be used as search terms) -- see e.g.
<https://opac.navalmarinearchive.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=32544>.
We have noticed a small difference with 2.0.59 in the "facets" or
whatever the left-hand column of the OPAC is called -- the "Authors"
list is re-ordered (same content when you click on "Show more", haven't
looked too deeply into it yet), all other facets appear identical.
If the CHU side could be totally fixed, I would truly like to see Zebra
retained long term as a Koha asset. It's fast, reliable, not a
memory-hogger and appears to meet cataloging needs quite nicely. Just my
"one cent."
Best -- Paul
