3.2.7 Early Release Notice
Hi everyone, April is a big month with the forthcoming major release of Koha 3.4.0. So in order to yield the stage to the 3.4.0 release, the 3.2.7 release will take place one week earlier than our normal schedule on 15 April 2011. This puts 3.2.x into string freeze on 8 April 2011. 3.2.x will return to its normal release schedule on the 22nd of the month in May with 3.2.8. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Koha 3.2.x Release Maintainer

3.2.x will return to its normal release schedule on the 22nd of the month in May with 3.2.8. This rises a question: How long to you plan to support 3.2 versions ? I think it would be good to have N and N-1 being updated, but that makes more work. Will you be able to do it ?

Hi everyone, One thing that worries me about 3.4 is the design changes done by me in the 3.2.x versions. There will be changes in the structure of Koha? Or there will be the same modules, includes than in the versions 3.2.x? My worry it's because some changes of my design are done directly in the modules and includes (littles changes). The biggests changes are done in the opac.css. The opac.css will be changed in the version 3.4? About translations, I'm happy to contribute in the portuguese translations, which are almost completed. :) Regards. Vitor Fernandes 2011/3/29 Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com>:

Vitor, I apologize if you already do this, but I highly recommend you use a version control system to monitor any changes you make to a package's source files. And of course for any add-ons, scripts, plug-ins you program yourself. I even do this for managing my configuration files (http.conf, vhosts, php.ini my.ini etc. I personally use Subversion, but Git's one of the latest hotness if you're starting from scratch, another one's Bazaar.

I would recommend using Git since that is what Koha uses (since 2007) so you can merge aqnd cherry pick changes easily. Everyone wants to commit back to the project in the end don't they? :) Chris

Per my original proposal ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/3_2_x_Release_Maintainer), After the release of 3.4.0, I will go to a bi-monthly release schedule for 3.2.x. So after 3.2.7 next month (April) we will have 3.2.8 in June assuming there are patches submitted against it. If no patches are submitted, we will wait until August, and so on. When we release 3.6.0, I will recommend we EOL 3.2.x at our monthly general meeting. At that point, if there are patches in the queue, I will do a final release. This is very much dependent upon people submitting patches against 3.2.x. If none are submitted, then no releases will be made. I plan to do this in parallel with 3.4.x maintenance, and follow the same general plan with 3.4.x when we reach 3.6.0. Suggestions are always welcome. :-) Kind Regards, Chris
