Hello, This is the 4nd UNSTABLE VERSION of the future Koha 2.2. Please install this version only if you want to test and give some help to the team that develops this software. Use it on a production machine only if you know what you are doing WARNING : * This version is ONLY available in ENGLISH. biblio frameworks are only available in UNIMARC - french. * This version is tested only with mozilla. Should work (partially) with IE. * Any 2.1.0 install must be uninstalled before installing 2.1.3 No update is provided for 2.1.0. 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 : UPGRADE TO A 2.0.0 version before upgrading to 2.1.3 This will be mandatory for the 2.2 official release. UPDATE from a 2.1.x version is NOT AVAILABLE. Don't install 2.1.3 on a 2.1.x test database. A lot of DB changes have been done since 2.1.x & could not be handled by the DB updater. ============ WHAT'S NEW ============ * A lot of bugfixes. The list is too long to be done. * adding possibility to order orders by publisher and/or budget/publisher * adding search history feature in orders * adding minor features to barcode generator : - possibility to print continuous barcodes numbers, but not from items - possibility to replace the title/author by a manually typed text under the barcode itself. * The borrowernote field is shown on issue and transfer * The textmessaging field appears in OPAC when the user logs in * When a field is repeated, the new field is now created after the existing one * a plugin has been added for UNIMARC for 210c (editor) and 225a (collection) - create a authority category called "EDITORS" - set : 200$a => ISBN 200$b => editor 200$c => (repeatable) collection. Then enter, for example : $a 23 $b Hachette Litterature $c collection1|collection2|collection3 map your "editor" field to plugin 210c, your "collection" field to plugin 225a Once you arrive on the editor field, if the beginning of the ISBN exists, the editor is automatically found. Once you arrive on collection field, click on ... you can choose in the collection list. The 210c / 225a comes from the UNIMARC editor/collection field, but should work as well with MARC21. =========== WHAT'S NEXT =========== This version is quite stable. It is installed successfully at Ecole des Mines de Nantes, in France. Some work must still be done on install & update procedures anyway. =========== ROADMAP : =========== The roadmap for Koha 2.2 is available here : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=KohaRoadmap -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
