Koha 3.22.1 released

Posted on Posted in 3.22, release, releases Tagged with ,

The Koha community is proud to announce the release of Koha 3.22.1. This is a maintenance release and contains many bugfixes.

Koha is the first free and open source software library automation package (ILS). Development is sponsored by libraries of varying types and sizes, volunteers, and support companies from around the world.

The website for the Koha project is http://koha-community.org and Koha 3.22.1 can be downloaded from: http://download.koha-community.org/old_releases/koha-3.22.01.tar.gz

Installation instructions can be found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation or in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball

The Koha community dedicates its version 3.22.1 to the memory of 31-year old Santu Mandal. Santu Mandal, an Indian who was a committed Koha user, as well as a Koha translator into Bengali, passed away on December 15th. Our warmest support goes to his fiancée, and to his parents.

This is my first release as the 3.22.x release maintainer. Thank you very much to everyone involved in this release.
