Dear Chris, (Sorry moderator. I sent previous version from the wrong username. Resending.) Ok, that's very clear. You're saying 3.2, despite not being stable, is safe-enough. Thank you.

I haven't heard from anyone except Chris, who is a contributing programmer, I take it, so I guess everyone else has either an on-site team or is paying a provider. 3.06 seems pretty cool and there is really no alternative, so if anyone is willing to help for some cash via paypal, it would be worth it to me. I have three installations that need this, none of which have a budget, but all of them hell-bent on Koha because of me.
Let me know if you can help, please.
Hi David
If these are new Koha installs, I would strongly suggest installing from either the debian packages, or the git master branch.
As Chris Nighswonger (who wrote the labels code) has said, it has been totally rewritten for 3.2.0 (it's 3.0.6 btw) so you are much better off installing that.
Quite a few libraries, including Horowhenua Library Trust the original Koha library, are running what is very soon to be 3.2.0 in production.
So I would class that as a real alternative, and in fact a better alternative to installing 3.0.6 and having some one off customised and not reusable work done.
Chris
