System requirements<br>
======================<br>
<br>
Changes since 3.0:<br>
<br>
* The minimum version of Perl required is now 5.8.8.<br>
* There are a number of new Perl module dependencies.<br>
Run ./<a href="http://koha_perl_deps.pl" target="_blank">koha_perl_deps.pl</a> -u -m to get a list of<br>
any new modules to install during upgrade.<br>
<br>
Upgrades<br>
======================<br>
<br>
The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly<br>
from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different.<br>
During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping<br>
that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly<br>
recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review<br>
the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x.<br>
<br>
Documentation<br>
======================<br>
<br>
As of Koha 3.2, the Koha manual is now maintained in DocBook. The<br>
home page for Koha documentation is<br>
<br>
<a href="http://koha-community.org/documentation/" target="_blank">http://koha-community.org/documentation/</a><br>

Subject: [Koha] collection vs item types<br>
To: <<a href="mailto:koha@lists.katipo.co.nz">koha@lists.katipo.co.nz</a>><br>
Message-ID: <885F958BCEE045AB8604917365B0B4C5@Priscilla><br>

<br>
We are attempting to download a new version and Koha and set it up. We are<br>
playing with 3.02 as downloaded from a livecd. The OPAC currently lists item<br>
type only so we assume we should actually use this to identify different<br>
collections. However, we have books in four difference collections (general,<br>
reference, reserve and kidz). Should these be in the collection codes after<br>
all and how do we get them to show on the opac? Do most libraries have both<br>
item type and collections showing or just use one? We also have different<br>
media types in our AV collection. Therefore we have one item type in four<br>
collections and one collection with 6 different item types. Anyone give us a<br>
clue. Setting up is only the beginning of our worries. We then have to<br>
import date. The documentation is not clear regarding setting up from<br>
scratch. Sorry Nicole - if you know where it is could you give me page<br>
number please. So far documentation describes what something is but not how<br>
to alter it, or load data into it, or in fact which area is most<br>
appropriate when there are numerous options. Not much hair left to turn out.<br>
<br>
