Sorry Jonathan, my fault for this one ;-)
But price management is really so boring...

> * Serials module

>
> - Bug 5342 - Serial claiming improvements
> This one is lost in the bug list depth. On the same way of orders, a claim
> counter will be added to the serials claims.
>
> * Reports module
> - Bug 9216 - Add a file for table headings translation and copy of this
> file during the translation process.
> This patch allows to translate headers. Currently, in the report module,
> headers are always in English.

> - Bug 7683 - statistic wizard: cataloging
>
> - Bug 7679 - Statistics wizard: circulation (new filters)
>
> * Circulation module
> - Bug 11120 - The date option for the overdue_notices cronjob is broken
> The overdue_notices cronjob has a --date parameter but it has never worked.
> With this patch, you will be able to generate overdue notices for a given
> date.
> It is really useful when you want to recover a failure, for example.
>
> - Bug 10860 - In-House Use
> The current Koha in-house use implementation is not complete.
> This feature will allow you to easily distinguish a normal checkout to an
> in-house use.
>
> - Multi transport types
> Several patches focus on notices and a way to add more than one transport
> type for a notice.
> For example, it will be possible to notify a patron with an email *and* a
> sms for the first overdue level.
> Moreover a template per transport type can be created for 1 letter. So it
> is possible to create a short notice for sms and a longer one for email.
> See the following:
> Bug 9016 - Multi transport types for notices
> Bug 10833 - Multi transport types for advanced notices
> Bug 10845 - Multi transport types for holds
> Bug 10832 - Multi transport types for overdue notices
>
> * Cataloguing
> - Bug 8064 - Merge several biblio records
> To merge 2 records is possible since several versions but this patch allows
> to merge as many records as you want.
>
> * Search
> - Bug 10857 - Add facets cancellation
> At the OPAC and staff interfaces, a link will permit to cancel a facet. In
> the current code, you have to re launch your search and re add wanted
> facets, with this patch, a simple link will save your time :)
>
> - Bug 10858 - Browse selected biblios
> Select a set of biblios and browse them, it is now possible.
>
> - Bug 9811 - Patrons search improvements
> A new sexy patron search! Using AJAX, it will be easy to find any patrons
> with any information.
>
> * Tools
> - Bug 11023 - Toggle new status for items
> Automatically change the status for items: a cronjob script will update
> status given some conditions.
> It can be useful for displaying an icon near new items, create a
> syndication feeds with new items only, etc.
>
> - Bug 10212 - Columns configuration for tables
> I think this one is really fun. Everyone may configure tables like he wants.
> If you want to display only 5 columns in the parcel page, it will be
> possible.
> This patch is a start, but has to move forward for continuing.
>
> And a lot of others patches!
>
> If something is not clear, don't hesitate to let a question on a note on
> the appropriate report.
>
> The goal of this email is to motivate all of you to signing off them (and
> all others!), or QA them, and takes your attention on what is existing in
> the queue.
>
> During the last year, it was really difficult to rebase again and again
> patches for 2 reasons: 1/ Patches are not tested and 2/ Others features
> don't take into account patches already submitted. So please developers,
> check if an existing patch does not exist before to start to write a new
> feature.
>
> All of these features could be in the next release, all depends on you :)

> We try to keep it up-to-date.

> And Sandboxes exist! [1] So you don't have any excuse not to test patches.
> Thanks and welcome to PTFS Europe on the sandbox area.
>
> Hope to share with you on these report :)
