Right now when you return an item that was lost the patron's card is
credited with the lost fee, but not all libraries refund lost fees
and sometimes the fee is refunded after the patron has paid for it,
causing all kinds of financial issues.
Adds the syspref RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn to control whether
returning a lost item refunds the fee charged for losing that
item. Enabled by default to maintain Koha's current functionality.

Before applying the patch I removed the [% IF %] from
around the markup which is removed by this patch. A table
of title and patron information appeared which I don't
remember ever seeing before. This tells me it's really
unused.
After applying the patch I performed some check-ins on both
checked out items and items which were on hold. All operations
completed normally.

Adds a system preference BlockReturnOfWithdrawnItems to control
whether or not Koha should allow a withdrawn item to be returned
or not.
Also fixes the behavior where Koha will attempt to use a withdrawn
item to fill a hold.
Test Plan:
1) Set BlockReturnOfWithdrawnItems to "Block" ( this is the default )
2) Check an item out to a patron
3) Mark item as withdrawn
4) Attempt to return the item, you should still see the item on the
borrower's record
5) Set BlockReturnOfWithdrawnItems to "Don't Block"
6) Attempt to return the item, you should see the item is no longer
on the borrower's record.

If the ReturnToShelvingCart syspref is on, and something needs to go in transit,
the shelving cart setting is overriding the transit.
What seems to be happening is this:
* Item is checked in, and flagged as needing to go in transit from A to B.
* Item is immediately flagged as shelving cart, though. Current display says both shelving cart and in transit.
* After the cart-to-shelf script runs, item comes out of transit and
shows as being available at the destination library, although it hasn't
arrived yet and no one has manually checked it in.

As noted in comment #4 by Jonathan Druart, this should be fixed in every call
to DateTie::truncate function. This patch does exactly that.
julian_m tested that truncate( to => 'days' ) didn't actually do anything, so
it is understandable that this 'fix' might introduce new bugs as we might have
'fixed' at a higher libs level this issue.
'minutes' is used in truncate function too, so fixing.

When a hold is placed on an item where the pickup location is
different than the holding library, Koha initiates a branch
transfer for that item to fill that hold when items is run through
the returns system.
If the item is then run through returns a second time, the system is
supposed to close that transfer as a 'wrongtransfer', and open a new
transfer with the same from and to branches as the original.
The problem is that the original transfer is closed, but the new
transfer is not created. This is because at some point, someone
replaced the template variable WrongTransfer, which had previously
contained the branchcode for the library to transfer to, with the
full name of the library instead ( I assume to make a look nicer ).
Solved by removing the line that was changing the variable contents
from the branchcode to the branch name, and adding a new TT filter,
KohaBranchName that functions in the same way as KohaDates, except
it takes a branchcode and returns the branch name for the given
branchcode.
The consequence of this, is the the name of the library is passed to updateWrongTransfer instead of the branchcode, causing the failure.

Some code coming from BibLibre has been lost in the process of inclusion in
3.4. The result is that fine in days does not work at all (you can setup rules,
but it does nothing)
Step to reproduce:
- Koha > Admin > circ rules > set 1 day fine every day of overdue for default
rule
- Issue a book return date last week
- check-in the book => no debarment is set
The following patch will fix all of those problems by :
* updating borrowers.debarred to a date field (instead of tinyint). It contains
the limit of the debarment
* changing API of DebarMember and UpdateBorrowerDebarred to pass a date
* display debarrdate where applicable. Note that a debarrdate of 31/12/9999 is
considered as unlimited and not displayed
* added a debarrcomment, usefull to explain why a patron is debarred (this is
independant from debarrdate changes and can be used when placing an unlimited
debarment too)
[2011-05-12] F. Demians. It works as described. And I can confirm this
functionality is impatiently awaited by French libraries since one year. Thanks
BibLibre for the good work and for contributing this code.
Bug 6328 Followup--update DB structure
Thanks Katrin.
Bug 6328: make comment a textbox / fix debar by notice trigger
Debarring by notice triggers was broken, because the new function
expects a date as second parameter.
The comment field in patron account details was a very long text field.
Patch changes it to be a textbox instead.
Bug 6328: Lift debarment leaves patron account
'Lift debarment' redirects to an empty circulation page.
BZ6328 follow-up 3
Fixes comment 23 from Fernando L. Canizo : when the patron was debarred and debar removed
he still could not check-out.
The changes in the IsMemberBlocked (that were on biblibre/master) were lost somewhere
The sub was still checking for old_issues instead of calling CheckBorrowerDebarred
to get a debardate if applicable
Note : this bug was appearing only is you had issuing rules defined for itemtype/categorycode/branch.
Seemed to work if you had only default rules. That's probably why it hadn't been spotted before

Adds a new system preference, RecordLocalUseOnReturn, which when active will change the statistical
entry type from "return" to "localuse" in AddReturn() if the material was not on loan when returned.
The intended use-case here is for libraries with 'open' book drops, in which patrons can put locally
used (but unissued) materials.
Adds a small message to the user interface to confirm that Local Use was recorded.
This change opens up the possibility to record more types of statistics on return; one would just need
to update the $stat_type variable accordingly.

Works for HTML5 because it loads smoothly and no plugins required but *at
this time* this update will only work with staff clients which are Firefox
version >=3.5 (std for Koha) but other browsers will soon be adding support.
Additional sounds are included for people to modify and play with, but this
is such a simple upgrade I doubt at this time Koha needs another complex
selector so users can add their own sounds. It could be a nice enhancement
later, of course.
Suggest we stick with HTML5 <audio tag because it is a standard and no
plug-ins.

This feature is designed to manage collections of items that move
from library to library periodically. Koha can already track who *has*
and item, and who *owns* and item, but not who *should have* an item.
That is the issue this feature addresses.
It allows a persion to create a collection, and add any number of items
to that collection. The collection can then be transferred from library
to library. If an item shows up at a library that does not currently
'hold' that collection, Koha will ask you to transfer it to the library
that does currently 'hold it. In that way, one can even transfer
collections where some of the items are currently checked out. As soon
as they make it back to a library, they will get transferred to the
current library holding that collection.
The feature consists of 4 main pages.
'Home' Page: The landing page, lists collections and provides access to
the rest of the tools.
Access is via the Tools page.
Edit Collections: Add/Delete new rotating collections
Add/Remove Items: Add/Remove items from a given collection
Transfer Collection: Set the current 'holder' of a given collection.
Librarian access is controlled by 'CAN_user_tools_rotating_collections'
Fix obvious warning generators
use of string comparison on numeric values
use of capture variables without testing comparison
reuse of variable names in same lexical scope
Tidy some layout issues
remove commented out code
remove unused variables
remove tabs from mixed space tab layouts
rewrite a couple of expressions where code flow obscured
Allows temporary locations corresponding to 'in processing' and 'shelving'
so that newly-created items, and newly-returned items do not show
immediately as a available. Three new system preferences govern the usage
of these features.
NewItemsDefaultLocation. If system pref NewItemsDefaultLocation is set to a location code,
all newly catalogued items will be set to the location set in this preference.
Location code must be a valid LOC authorized value type.
InProcessingToShelvingCart. if the system pref InProcessingToShelvingCart is turned on,
any items run through returns.pl with a location code for 'PROC', will be modified to
have a new location code of 'CART'.
ReturnToShelvingCart. If the syspref ReturnToShelvingCart is turned on,
all items returned other than confirmed holds will have a new location code of 'CART'.
Any item issued is automatically taken of the shelving cart.
Adds a cron script shelf_to_cart.pl which should be run hourly.
Updates all items with a location of CART to the item's permanent location.
The original location code is stored in the new items column 'permanent_location'.

Code cannot rely on issueinformation being populated.
Note there is room for better efficiency to have AddReturn also provide the
itemnumber (where existing) so that GetItemnumberFromBarcode is not called
at both levels. Unfortunately there is discrepancy between this idea (for
efficiency) and the stated purpose of the $iteminformation object returned,
since $iteminformation is specifically the info from the issues table and
MUST be empty when the item was not in fact issued.
