You can download the release here. Release notes are here. Koha 3.10 Release Delayed by Paul Poulain The official release of Koha 3.10.0 is delayed by one month. For Koha 3.4 and Koha 3.8, we faced some nasty bugs that were not detected before the release. We think the “feature freeze” was too short to identify all potential problems. That’s why I have the following plan that delays the release by one month: 1. until 22 Sep: development 2. 22 Sep: feature freeze, no more large or core enhancements pushed for 3.10, whatever the patch submission date 3. 22 Oct: string freeze, no more string changes 4. 22 Nov: Koha 3.10.0 is released If you plan to upgrade your version immediately when the new one is released, please note that the release will be made on 22 November. I could release a 3.10.0RC1 (“Release Candidate”) on 22 October for early adopters. If you’re interested in such a RC1, let me know!

They will also be doing a program on “Do-it Yourself”, Self-Service Kiosks, and using Linux in the library. Nancy, whose library is hosting KohaCon13, also says, “This same Nevada Library Association conference will be held in Reno next October at the same time and place as KohaCon13. It is our hope to get a better deal on rooms and meeting space by having the two separate conferences in the same location. It also will show Nevada libraries that the Koha community is a vibrant and innovative group.” Catalyst Academy students continue to contribute patches to Koha. Koha 3.8.0 had 15 patches from Academy students. Irma Birchall reports that a mailing list for Australian Koha users has been established. Rutgers MLS students will be using Koha in their “Library Systems and Software” class this fall. Hosting is being donated by ByWater Solutions.

3.8 vanishing authorities
by Elaine Bradtke 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

This is really odd, because it works ok in the test site, but not production. When I search on headings, the topical terms erroneously claim to have 0 biblios attached. They were there yesterday. The name authorities are fine. I'm trying to figure out what is different between the test and production sites that would cause this problem. And why only the topical terms? Have we missed a step somewhere?

3.8.4 search on barcode
by Elaine Bradtke 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

After the upgrade, when we try to search on barcode, it doesn't return the appropriate record, unless you go to advanced search and select barcode. Is this an expected behaviour? It used to work as a keyword search. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

As a point of reference, we have totally identical results in 3.6.1, 3.6.7 and 3.8.4. [and it doesn't jump directly to the detail page for that record.] Barcode search (both OPAC and staff) is fully functional from any "search" in the library catalogue - not just full/advanced selecting 'Barcode'. However, while the first line of the results is "perfect" it continues with some rather "fuzzy" but logical follow-ups corresponding to the first 8 alphanemerics only: Search for 11NAT09120001 finds in this order: 11NAT09120001 11NAT09110001 11NAT09100001 11NAT09120002 11NAT09120003 -- if I search for 11NAT it finds 207 results (and the 207th is still good ... ) In any case, the functionality appears to have continued through the versions; CAVEAT: 3.6.7 and 3.8.4 were new installs on different servers using an sql dump/restore from our production 3.6.1, and were not "upgrades" in the sense of overwriting a previous install.
