Upcoming Events

Global Bug Squashing Day – February 14th 2020

At the last Koha Developers Meeting, it was proposed that we bring back
regular Global Bug Squashing Day events to help keep the bug queue moving
along and encourage more people to get involved.

As such, we are arranging such a day to take place on the 14th of February.
We hope to see some new names added to the list of contributors: Testing,
Signoff, Quality Assurance, Patch Writing, Documentation additions all
count, and there will be friendly developers available to help throughout
the day on IRC !

If you have always wanted to get involved now is a good time, so spin up a
devbox, try out a sandbox, or just visit us in IRC and ask everything you
wanted to know about Koha and we will help as best as we can.

Please see
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2020-02-14_Global_bug_squashing_day for
more information.

Hackfest 2020 in Marseille, registrations are open!

by Paul Poulain
almost everything is in the title : you can register for the hackfest by
sending me an email.

As announced previously, it will take place in BibLibre office,
Marseille, France, March 23-27

Some explanations for those who need them:

  • the hackfest is NOT a developer week. it’s a week for anyone willing
    to contribute to Koha, whatever the kind of contribution (testing,
    documenting, …)
  • the hackfest is free of charge (but you’ll have to deal with your
    traveling costs, of course)
  • you can come for 5 days, or less. Don’t come for 1 day, it’s
    useless. coming for 2 days is very frustrating. Coming for 3 to 5
    days is perfect !
  • 40-45 ppl fit in our office. If we’re more than this, we’ll have to
    book an additional room [thanks to the company just next door] So
    register as soon as possible
  • there’s no schedule, everyone comes with it’s own
    ideas/goals/expectations
  • that’s not a training session
  • if you need an official invitation, just ask by email

Kohacon20 registrations open!

by Chris Cormack
Kia ora

Ngā mihi o te tau hou pākehā. Happy New year.

New year, new conference news! We had a ton of great submissions for talks, and we are working on a draft programme now. But we have opened registrations for the conference. https://2020.kohacon.org/posts/registration/

Bearing in mind there is no conference fee, please only register if you are planning to attend. Or if circumstances change so you can’t attend please let us know. There is finite capacity at the venue and we would hate to turn away people and have empty seats.

That being said, we would love to see you there, go forth and register 🙂

RELEASE NOTES FOR KOHA 19.11.02

22 Jan 2020

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:

Koha 19.11.02 can be downloaded from:

Installation instructions can be found at:

  • Koha Wiki
  • OR in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball

Koha 19.11.02 is a bugfix/maintenance release.

It includes 13 enhancements, 48 bugfixes.

System requirements

Koha is continiously tested against the following configurations and as such these are the recommendations for
deployment:

  • Debian Jessie with MySQL 5.5
  • Debian Stretch with MariaDB 10.1 (MySQL 8.0 support is experimental)
  • Ubuntu Bionic with MariaDB 10.1 (MariaDB 10.3 support is experimental)

Additional notes:

  • Perl 5.10 is required
  • Zebra or Elasticsearch is required

Enhancements

Cataloging

  • [24173] Advanced Editor: Show subtitle & published date on the search page

    This enhancement adds Subtitle (all parts) and date published to the results that come up for the Advanced Editor Search.

Circulation

  • [24308] Suggestions table on suggestions.pl should have separate columns for dates

I18N/L10N

  • [24063] Add Sami language characters to Zebra

    This patch adds some additional characters to the default zebra mappings for Sami languages to aid in searching on systems with such data present.

Installation and upgrade (web-based installer)

  • [24314] Update de-DE MARC21 frameworks for updates 28+29 (May and November 2019)

MARC Bibliographic data support

  • [23783] Add display of languages from MARC21 field 041 to the OPAC

    This enhancement adds display handling for the 041 MARC21 languages field, into the OPAC results and item details pages.

  • [24312] Update MARC21 frameworks to Updates 28+29 (May and November 2019)

Notices

  • [24253] process_message_queue.pl fail if not to address is defined

OPAC

  • [23261] RecordedBooks – notify patron of need to login / register to see availability

    This enhancement makes the RBDigital Recorded Books subscription more discoverable to library patrons by adding a notice to the OPAC for patrons to register and login with RBDigital if they have not already done so.

REST API

  • [23893] Add ->new_from_api and ->set_from_api methods to Koha::Object

    This development introduces generic methods to deal with API-to-DB attribute names translations, and some data transformations (dates and booleans).

    With this design we can overload this methods to handle specific cases without repeating the code as we did on initial implementations of API controllers.

    Testing becomes easier as well.

  • [24228] Add a parameter to recursively embed objects in Koha::Object(s)->to_api

    This patch introduces a parameter to the Koha::Object class (’embed’) that should be a hashref pointing to a data structure following what’s documented in the code. This parameter allows the caller to specify things to embed recursively in the API representation of the object. For example: you could request a biblio object with its items attached, like this:

    $biblio_json = $biblio->to_api({ embed => { items => {} } });

    The names specified for embedding, are used as attribute names on the resulting JSON object, and are expected to be class accessors.

    The main use of this is the API, as introduced by bug 24302.

    Koha::Objects->to_api is adjusted to pass its parameters down to the Koha::Object.

Templates

  • [10469] Display more when editing subfields in frameworks
  • [23889] Improve style of menu header in advanced cataloging editor

    This enhancement updates the styling of dropdown menu headers to make them apply more consistently across the system.

Release Manager Update

by Martin Renvoize
Hi everyone, I thought I’d start with a quick introduction. I’m Martin, working for PTFS-Europe, and have been lucky enough to be supported in stepping forward for a second cycle as the community release manager.

I thought it would be a nice idea to add a little ‘update from the release manager’ section to the newsletter this cycle outlining our progress and goals each month.

As is the usual pattern, we have been concentrating on bugfixes this first month of the new cycle and have, at the time of writing, worked through 31 reports. The team is aiming to start working through enhancements again during January.

We are hoping to work through a number of refactoring bugs early this cycle, paving the way for more modern and maintainable code. There is also ongoing work happening in the accounting, course reserves, notices, translation and circulation rules areas of Koha and I’m excited to see where they go.

I’d like to give special mention to our heavy hitters of the month to date, Joonas Kylmälä, Marcel de Rooy, Jonathan Druart, Andrew Fuerste-Henry and Owen Leonard. Thank you for your efforts in Signoff and Quality Assurance keeping the project moving forward. Can you knock some of these off their top spots, it would be great to see some new names in this list next month.

Finally, Lisette Scheer, who has been testing and signing off on patches for a little while, submitted her first Patch. Great to have you aboard.

As ever, statistics and areas to concentrate on are all listed on the dashboard.koha-community.org. It always makes for interesting reading and is the best way to get a quick look at the current state of play.

Proof-of-Concept: GeoLock

by Stefano Bargioni
At the library of the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce, we introduced GeoLock, a tool to fill in 370 auth tags [1].

Subfields related to places (a,b,c,e,f,g) are associated to a Javascript/jQuery code that, on subfield focus, opens up a dialog with an autocomplete field based on Wikidata (default) or Geonames APIs. After entering the first letters of a place, the cataloguer can choose the correct place and automatically GeoLock fills in subfield ‘a’ (or whatever) with the Italian label, subfield ‘2’ with the code of the chosen source (‘wikidata’ or ‘geonames’), subfield ‘0’ and subfield ‘1’ with the correspondent URI and RWO.
For non-US places, the form of the label is “place (country)”, while for US places is “place, state (United States)”.

GeoLock is a proof-of-concept to show how much work an ILS could save accessing rich external resources, while adding linked data to the catalog. It calls a Perl script that accesses both sources and returns data in JSON format.

RELEASE NOTES FOR KOHA 19.05.06

23 Dec 2019

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:

Koha 19.05.06 can be downloaded from:

Installation instructions can be found at:

  • Koha Wiki
  • OR in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball

Koha 19.05.06 is a bugfix/maintenance release.

It includes 2 enhancements, 34 bugfixes.

System requirements

Koha is continiously tested against the following configurations and as such these are the recommendations for
deployment:

  • Debian Jessie with MySQL 5.5
  • Debian Stretch with MariaDB 10.1 (MySQL 8.0 support is experimental)
  • Ubuntu Bionic with MariaDB 10.1 (MariaDB 10.3 support is experimental)

Additional notes:

  • Perl 5.10 is required
  • Zebra or Elasticsearch is required

Enhancements

Reports

  • [23389] Add ‘All’ option to report value dropdowns

    This enhancement adds the ability to optionally include an all option in report placeholders allowing for an ‘All’ option to be displayed in filter select lists.

    Usage: WHERE branchcode LIKE <<Branch|branches:all>>

Web services

  • [22677] Include hint on OAI-PMH URL for Koha in system preference

Critical bugs fixed

Architecture, internals, and plumbing

  • [24243] Bad characters in MARC cause internal server error when searching catalog

Circulation

  • [13958] Add a suspensionsCalendar syspref

    Sponsored by Universidad Nacional de Córdoba

    Before 18.05, suspension expiry date calculation didn’t take the calendar into account. This behaviour changed with bug 19204, and some libraries miss the old behaviour.

    These patches decouple overdue days calculation configuration (finesCalendar) from how the expiry date is calculated for the suspension through a new system preference: SuspensionsCalendar, that has the exact same options but only applies to suspensions. On upgrade, the new preference is populated with the value from finesCalendar, thus respecting the current configuration.

  • [24075] Backdating a return to the exact due date and time results in the fine not being refunded
  • [24138] suspension miscalculated when Suspension charging interval bigger than 1 and Max. suspension duration is defined

Command-line Utilities

  • [24164] Patron emailer cronjob is not generating unique content for notices

Hold requests

  • [24168] Errors with use of CanItemBeReserved return value

  • [24072] Typos in advance_notices.pl causes DUEDGST not to be sent
  • [24268] advance_notices.pl dies on undefined letter
