Koha 2.0.0RC4 is out
by paul POULAIN 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Hi everybody, This version of Koha is the 4rd in the 2.0 "stable" series. It does not mean that it has no bugs, but many libraries are using it and don't encounter unsolvable problems. If you want to adopt Koha, please do, but you're warned that this release candidate version may still have some bugs and missing features. If you test it and let us know about any we haven't seen yet, it will help us to fix them. INSTALLATION * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./installer.pl * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 2.0.0preX or RCx version * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./koha.upgrade * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 1.2.x version * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./koha.upgrade * Follow the instructions * Open a browser to Koha * Go to Parameters >> Marc structure option and Koha-MARC links option. * Modify default MARC structure to fit your needs * Open a command-line on the koha server * Enter : cd /path/to/koha/misc export PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha/modules ./koha2marc.pl This "copies" the old DB to the new MARC one. Now Koha 2.0.0RC4 is ready for you to test. BUGS FIXED: major : * #293 : Error Issuing Book - 1 (a very old one...) * #605 : circulation.pl only shows one waiting item * #661 : Set three variables for the circ template: gna, lost, and dbarred * biblio deletion : in some cases, the biblio deletion was done on another biblio than the one asked. * indicators where stored but not displayed in MARC editor/viewer. * book shelves work again (note bookshelves are not avaible in OPAC. they will be added in 2.2.0) minor : * it's now impossible to create a basket for an inactive supplier (it's of course possible to change supplier datas and recieve a past order) * removing "bulk", useless field, in admin/categorie.pl list (NOT in DB, in case someone uses the field) * removing forced order in admin/thesaurus.pl => mySQL returns datas ordered by relevance in fulltext index if you don't force an order. * Next borrower didn't work in circulation.pl (didn't return to borrower form) * in circulation.pl, removing <br> to have all informations without sidebar on a 1024x768 screen. * in circulation.pl, ODUES are in red in borrower header * quoting correctly titles with a " inside, in MARC editor IMPROVEMENTS: * Minor translation & HTML fixes. * Adding >>> in biblio editor to change tab. * Adding a "print" link in MARCbiblio : popup a small windows, print the biblio, and closes. Nice for libraries still having a paper catalog. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

I think that you might be better served by subscribing to the koha(a)es.koha.org, koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz, and maybe koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing lists. Being able to ask your questions of a larger audience is liable to bring much better answers than I alone can provide.

Koha is known to run on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and various Windows OSs. It requires that Apache, MySQL, and Perl be installed. Most installations (and the easiest ones for people to get working) are on the Linux OS. I hope this answers your questions. > > According your time, I would like keep me informed with all the > advantages and upgrades of the system.

Is anyone using the zh-TW translation of Koha?
by acli＠ada.dhs.org 10 Feb '04

10 Feb '04

Hello, I would like to know whether there are any Koha users actually using the Chinese translation at the moment. The reason I am asking is that the Chinese translation is using Big5; however, I have found Big5 to be very unsuitable for use in libraries. I am planning to restart working on the Chinese translation and will be redoing everything using UTF8; however, this will cause existing Koha data entered with the Chinese interface (if entered in Chinese) to not work any more. If no one is using the Chinese translation, I'll just replace the old files. Best regards, Ambrose -- Ambrose LI Cheuk-Wing <a.c.li(a)ieee.org> http://ada.dhs.org/~acli/

BUG in biblio DELETION
by paul POULAIN 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hi, The dombes Abbey librarian had problems with biblio deletion. After some investigations, DELETION IS BUGGED. under certain circumstances, it will delete another biblio, not the one you want to delete. Under certain circumstances, it works fine. I won't explain when it works, and when not. I just say : DON'T DELETE BIBLIOS before 2.0.0RC4 that will fix it. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Re: [Koha] LC call number

Wednesday, February 4, 2004 21:46 CST Hi again, Anthony, I think Paul clarified just last week that LC-number capability is something that is being targetted for later this year (I vaguely remember September) unless someone comes forward earlier to work on it. It isn't possible right now, unless I missed something recently. I don't have the technical skill needed to help with this so I am still waiting on it, too, as are, IIRC, Ed and others (and this is not a complaint: just a statement of fact). Cheers, Steven F.

MARC records again!
by ablackie＠mailer.fsu.edu 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Hello, Staying in the subject of Koha and MARC, I currently have some records in a Koha 1.2.2. database. I hear that importing bulk MARC records in to that is not a beautiful thing. A decision has been made to then upgrade/fresh install Koha 2.0, then do a bulk MARC import into the 2.0. My questions are: 1 - Is there any possible way to export those records in the 1.2.2 database into the 2.0? I have asked this before but I'm thinking a little differently now. If I can export what is in Koha 1.2.2 as MARC (or something that will allow me to use another tool in order to convert it to MARC), then import those MARCs into 2.0, along with the other MARCs that I already have, that will be a solution. 2 - Once I get to transfer all of the files from 1.2.2 (gotta think positive), and add the bulk of MARC records that I have, I will then need to export ALL of the records from 2.0 to MARC (or something that will allow me to use another tool... same as above). Is this possible in 2.0? Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Anthony

Hola Jose, me llamo Javier y soy de colombia, con respecto al mail que ha mandado a la lista de desarrollo de Koha me place infomarle que es muy gratificante que personas de habla hispana se integren a este proyecto igual que muchos de nosotros. Con respecto ala informacion del koha, le comento que es un sistema el cual se puede instalar en Windows o Linux siendo la primera una edicion especial por su proceso de instalacion pero en iguales contenidos que la de linux, los requerimientos para poder montar el sistema son, PERL, APACHE y MYSQL. La version para linux la puedes encontrar en: www.koha.org y la version para windows en: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaWinDownloads Espero te sean de utilidad-, Att Javier
