Hi, My goal here is to ask for a 2.0.0 release date. It may sound strange to have the Release Manager asking users for a release date, but let me explain : The 2.1.3 works fine since some weeks in EMN, in France. My opinion is that the 2.1.3 can be used in production. Not 100% bug free with a UNIMARC DB, but works. The question is : how works 2.1.3 with a MARC21 installation ? Important question, but I don't know it's answer yet. Nelsonville or Katipo, did you do some tests ? So, when do you think I could publish a 2.2.0RC1 in the stable tree ? My opinion is ASAP : I don't want to wait for months like I did for 2.0.0. As I said previously, I realize delaying the 2.0.0 version had a very bad effect on french libraries, that didn't want to install 2.0.0RCx, thinking it was too unstable. The DB schema didn't change from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 and still has no change. I think this is the most important point : the DB IS stable, so Koha is on the road to be stable. Feel free to argue if you don't agree & have any other opinion/idea. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Err... you mean 2.2.0... ? ;-)

I am test running 2.1.3 at my installation (WBUT) and we are on MARC21. So far it looks good. I have a question, with L10N support on Koha, is there a specific reason why the default charset defined in the meta tags is iso-8859-1 and not utf-8? I needed to change it to utf-8 for BN translated templates and include files. I did get a funny bug cropping up while testing the BN translation of Koha. A particular vowel used as conjunct was being rendered in the drop-down list as U+8249 unicode codepoint, whereas the data is correctly stored in the MySQL db (v4.0.20) and displayed correctly when viewed through phpmyadmin interface. The bug shows up both on Konqueror 3.3.0 as well as cvs Mozilla 1.8a5. I have checked and its not a widget rendering problem as the same vowel conjunct is rendered perfectly when I test using a test page. Methinks I need to look at the code *grin*

I tested MARC export, tried the reports - seems to work. More as it comes :) cheers, -indra. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Indranil Das Gupta, Project Lead, CASTLE Project [Computer Aided Studies, Teaching and Learning Environment] In collaboration with: West Bengal University of Technology Calcutta, INDIA www.wbut.net ------------------------------------------------------------- L2C2.ORG - Bringing Localized Low-Cost Computing to People -------------------------------------------------------------
I will be using 2.2.x version for the Turkish/russian interface work and we also need to use UTF-8; will see if there are any problems soon. Gerry Indranil Das Gupta wrote:
