Koha 3.22 released

It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of Koha 3.22, a major release of the Koha open source integrated library system.

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 can be downloaded from: http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.22.00.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

Koha 3.22 is a major release, that comes with many new features.

It includes 10 new features, 155 enhancements and 381 bugfixes.

Important notices

Out of the box Plack support on packages

Koha 3.22 can take advantage of Plack to run faster than ever.
Read the instructions here to start enjoying it!.

Behaviour changes

The tools/export.pl script has been replaced by misc/export_catalogue.pl
All code related to managing information about ‘ethnicity’ in the patron record has been removed. If a library still had data in those fields and tables, it has not been deleted. Please consider moving your data into an extended patron attribute instead.
Koha now enforces superserials more strictly. For libraries using IndependentBranches it will no longer be possible to claim serial issues of other branches without either the superlibrarian or the superserials permission.
The no longer used ‘borrow’ permission has been removed

We regret any omissions. If a contributor has been inadvertently missed, please send a patch against these release notes to koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org.

Thanks

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Robin as a fulltime
Koha developer. During his time working on Koha he has done an immense
amount of work including Debian packaging of Koha and its
dependencies, Elasticsearch integration, bugfixing and tons more. He
is one of the most talented and conscientious developers you will ever
meet and he will be greatly missed.

Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te
Kārohirohi i mua i tōu huarahi.
(May the calm be widespread
Let the sea glisten like the greenstone
May the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway.)

Special thanks from the Release Manager

I’d like to thank everyone in the community, specially Katrin and Jonathan,
for their support and their hard work, to make every new release the best ever.

I’d like to thank Marcelo Baldi, a fellow FLOSS advocate and Koha supporter
at UNC, who passed away during the release cycle. We’ll miss you, Marcelo!
