ding, ding, the bell rings... koha-1.9.1 is out
by paul POULAIN 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Here are IMPORTANT release notes : * standard acquisition and MARC cataloguing now both useable at the same time. * MANY bugfixes. * almost everything now templated. A few admin scripts still to template. * inclusion of some pictures to say "add", "modify", "delete" in many places. * the koha-html cvs tree is now UNUSED, and no mode included in this release. the koha cvs project contains everything. TODO * z39.50 support. A port from the 1.2.x z39.50 support needs to be done. Should be quick, * fixing bugs. If you find a bug in this version, please take the plane and go for a trip to : bugs.koha.org FEATURE FREEZE feature freeze is there... only z39.50 will be added until 2.0RC1, which should be the next release ! KNOWN BUGS *IMPORTANT* : * koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions. * repeted subfields in MARC/iso2709 works poorly : only the 1st subfield is stored, other are ignored. At least, the 1st is right ! (in the 1.9.0, the 1st was buggied by other subfields too) * In the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work : the result of the query is very strange ! * en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translator teams are waiting for more stable templates :-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Re: [Koha] Authority file?
by Ailish Farragher 04 Apr '03

Thanks, Rosalie and Rachel, for your response. I gave a presentation on open source software and library mangement systems (inclusing Koha) to a bunch of library students last week and that was one of the questions they asked me! I've not implemented Koha yet but hope to in the next few months. All the best, Ailish librarian http://www.thevillage.ie Dublin, Ireland

Hello Lucia from Trinidad and Tobago
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

HI Really this is just a test message to make sure that Lucia is getting mail again from the list :-) However I might as well take the opportunity to welcome all our new members of the Koha family, and say hi to our old friends. We now have over 400 people on the Koha list, from all around the world. We have CafePresss shop for Koha stuff - and their excellent "hoddie" sweatshirts are on sale at the moment http://www.cafeshops.com/koha We got some last year and they have lasted well - they did shrink a little on washing, so if you're not sure what size, you might want to go slightly bigger. CafePress have been excellent to deal with - when we had to get a couple of things redone (Wonky printing) they let us just keep the shirt rather than having to ship it back to the USA which I thought was awesome. If anyone has a Koha OPAC they don't mind "showing" to the world, we would love to get a page on the website where folks can see real koha's in action - and where we can all look at the lovely designs :-) Cheers Rachel_____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org

by Ailish Farragher 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hi there, can anyone tell me whether Koha has an authority file for name and subject? When you're cataloguing an item, is there a place to enter a name or subjecy in an authority list for search purposes? Thanks, Ailish Farragher Dublin, Ireland

by Pat Eyler 02 Apr '03

02 Apr '03

Wow! that was a great chance to sit down and talk through a lot of stuff. I think we came away with some good places to focus our attention, and some specific tasks to help make the QA/testing effort succeed. Thanks to all who participated. If you didn't, please feel free to join in next week for the two general meetings. -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org
