[Koha] Koha 3.16.0 released

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

The Koha community is pleased to announce the release of version
3.16.0 of the Koha library automation system.

Koha 3.16 is an enhancement and bugfix release. Changes of particular
note include:

* There is now the ability to use different templates for notices
based on how the notice is to be sent. For example, is now possible to
use different wording for email and SMS hold notifications.
* Users can now unselect active facets when refining search results.
* Search history can be now displayed and managed in the staff interface.
* Loan checkins can now be backdated to an arbitrary date.
* Holds can now be individually suspended and resumed from the OPAC.
* Creating orders from staged files now offers much more flexibility.
* The public reports service can now accept report parameters.
* There is experimental support for Plack for development use.
* The index update script can now operate as a daemon, allowing the
indexes to be updated within seconds of a catalog record getting
updated.

There are many more enhancements, detailed in the release notes.

There are also a number of improvements under the hood, particularly
for internationalization. It is now possible to mark strings in the
Perl source code for translation, and translation of strings in the
JavaScript source code can now include placeholders. Also, a newer
version of jQueryUI is now used by the staff interface.

Koha can be downloaded from http://download.koha-community.org. Debian
packages of Koha 3.16.0 will be available shortly.

Additional details, including the release notes, can be found at

Galen
