Release candidate of Koha 3.2.0 available

October 7th, 2010

I have uploaded the release candidate for Koha 3.2.0.  Changes since the beta include:

  • fixes to the upgrade of acquisitions data from 3.0
  • various bugfixes, particularly to acquisitions, serials, and label creation
  • improvements to test case coverage
  • all required test cases now pass
  • adding back the ability to save and manage local system preferences
  • the rotating collections feature is now deferred to 3.4.x
  • security fixes
  • translations

Pending confirmation of successful installations and upgrades, this will become the general release of 3.2.0.  At this point, string changes, enhancements, and non-super-critical bugfixes will not be accepted for 3.2.0; only truly critical bugfixes, improvements to upgrade and installation processes and documentation, and translations will be pushed.

The tarball can be retrieved from:

http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.02.00-rc.tar.gz

Checksum and signature files for verifying the package can be retrieved from:
