[Koha] new versions

[Shelley & Kurt Kemperman]

I am unable to place holds with the version we have, even after trying  
all suggestions.  I'm hoping a newer version will fix that issue, but  
also, I do want to keep up to some degree.  We won't be able to  
upgrade every time it's available, but I figured that if we wait too  
long, retraining might be an issue.  Our school librarian is a  
"retired" nun in her seventies - computer stuff is not instinctive for  
her - lol.
