Koha - feature freeze for Kaha 3.6
All, I know that the feature freeze for Koha 3.6 has been declared. Is there a comprehensive list of those features posted somewhere? Is it http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Koha_3.6_RFCs?

A list of those ones that are already in master and will be in 3.6.0 can be found here http://koha-releasemanagement.branchable.com/posts/Work_for_3.6.x/ Some more might make it if they were submitted before the feature freeze (the 22nd of sept) and tested before the string freeze (on the 8th) But those ones linked to on that page will definitely make it Chris
Chris, I'll admit that I don't really understand the procedure for signing off and testing for new features. The one we are interested in is "Analytics records support" http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5528 which has the Patch status of "Signed off" and was modified on 2011-09-21 but isn't on your list. We have been using this patch since July, love it and can't function without it. So, I'm really anxious to know whether it will be in 3.6 or not. I don't see 5528 on your list. Again, I apologize for my lack of understanding. Thanks for your help. Linda On 1:59 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

I'll admit that I don't really understand the procedure for signing off and testing for new features.
There are a few steps before a patch can make it into a release. We should do a Schoolhouse Rock about it. 1. A patch is submitted. 2. Someone tests the patch. If it works, the person signs off on it, meaning they personally attest to the patch's usefulness. 3. The QA manager ("Quality Assurance") tests the patch again and confirms that it works, that code meets project standards, etc. If the QA manager approves, the patch is "Passed QA." The QA manager only looks at patches which have at least one sign-off. 4. The Release manager then does his own examination of the patch and if he also agrees the patch is "pushed," or added to the next release. The RM only looks at patches which are passed QA.
The one we are interested in is "Analytics records support" http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5528 which has the Patch status of "Signed off" and was modified on 2011-09-21 but isn't on your list.
So the QA manager hasn't yet examined that patch. The feature is still awaiting his approval. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
Linda, The content for 5528 was submitted and signed off before the feature freeze, so it is one of the candidate developments for 3.6. Like every development, it must undergo QA, which is my job. I'll be looking at it very soon, and hopefully it will pass. If it does not, I'll be explicit about why, so the developer can make the necessary modifications.
