Thanks to everyone for putting all that effort into getting 2.0pre2 out.
It's looking better every release.

I upgraded to 2.0pre2 from 2.0pre1. I'm running RH8.

1. MARC biblio table of acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl still has some bugs:
  - 'z3950 search' link (in addbiblio.pl) crashes IE5.5, IE6 with 'invalid
argument on line 599'
  - there is no green background on the rows when viewed with IE5.5, IE6.
(NS4.7, NS6.2, Opera are OK)
  - 'add biblio' and 'z3950' links are partly off the page (IE5.5 and IE6
only)

2. 'Logout' does not seem to work. It takes me to the mainpage.pl?logout.x=1
page, however after pressing any of the links I find that I'm still logged
in as the librarian

3. I tried setting a 'New UserID' and 'New Password' for a user via the
member-password.pl page. I was expecting to be able to log in with that
UserID and Password into the intranet interface with the appropriate user
flags. But I can not log in with that password. What is the right password?

When I try to change the password again, Koha generates a random one and
pressing 'Confirm Password', generates an error message "You have entered a
UserID that already exists....". What am I doing wrong? How can you change
an existing user's password?

4. ISBN is not validated (against its checksum) when typed into
acqui.simple/addbooks.pl

5. When adding a new biblio, it would be nice if the ISBN number was
automatically entered into the MARC table. (AddBiblio -> typing ISBN in
addbooks.pl -> GO -> AddNewBiblio)

6. Paths in the z3950-deamon-launch.sh and z3950-deamon-shell.sh  are wrong


Some minor bugs:
1. Typo in the heading of search.marc/search.pl (I take it is in french)
2. No image for the placerequest.pl on the request.pl page
3. Invalid link to ..../images/cancel-requests.gif on moremember.pl
4. Typo in member-flags.pl (in the description field of 'parameters ')
5. On the acqui.simple/additem.pl page it would be nice if both
'holdingbranch' and 'homebranch' had a default value of the first branch as
set in admin/branches.pl
6. On member.pl there is 'Clr' button that does not seem to do anything
7. circ/branchtransfers.pl should have 'Issues' image for the
circ/circulation.pl link
8. circ/returns.pl is missing 'Transfers' image for the
circ/branchtransfers.pl link

PS. Sorry for not using bugzilla, I had a look at bugs.koha.org but not
having used it before, I thought email would be easier.

Thanks
