[Koha-oz] Fwd: [Koha] Koha 16.05 Released

[Bob Birchall]

Forwarding from the general list.

Koha 16.05 is an awesome release.  There are enhancements throughout the 
application and when reading the release notes (go on, you should! 
https://koha-community.org/koha-16-05-released/), one can't but be 
impressed by the size (and output) of the developer team.

Some highlights of this release are the introduction of EDIFACT features 
into the Acquisitions module, addition of a Forgotten Password facility 
to the OPAC and the ability to pay fines via PayPal.  Debian packages 
for this release will be available shortly.

Congratulations to Nic van Oudtshoorn of Perth Bible College for his 
work on bug 10988. 
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10988>

Note the change of release version numbering (16.05).  This was agreed 
by the Koha community in March 
<http://meetings.koha-community.org/2016/genereal_irc_meeting_9_march_2016.2016-03-09-20.00.html> 
and brings to an end the 3.xx series.  Future releases will be 16.11 
(November), 17.05 (May next year), 17.11 etc.

I wouldn't recommend racing out to implement this today, but its great 
to see how Koha just keeps getting better and better.

Enjoy!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of Koha 16.05, a

enhancements. See the full release notes here: 
https://koha-community.org/koha-16-05-released/ Download 
http://koha-community.org/download-koha/ Debian Packages will soon be 
available in the repository. Thank you to everyone who helped make this 
work! Koha!!! Please note – Ubuntu 16.04 support is still WIP and isn’t 
supported at the moment, due to stricter MySQL version 5.7. All installs 
and updates should be done on versions previous to MySQL 5.7. Cheers, 
Brendan
