Before the grace period was not included in the number of days overdue when
calculating the fine. My librarians seem to think the number of days overdue
should include the grace period.
Fine is not assessed before the grace period is up though.

This was, an in part still is, some of the worst-formatted code in Koha.
Also made a few minor changes:
~ removing sth->finish
~ adding comment
~ removed whitespace error trailing spaces
~ use trinary op, like: return ( $debarredstatus eq '1' ? 1 : 0 );
Note that the logic is the same, even where I condsider it faulty.
(In the exampe case, because $debarredstatus may be undef.)

Passing $dbh around is an ancient style that doesn't know
to use C4::Context. C4::Context->dbh is efficient, especially
for modules that already use Context, including almost all C4.
I also internalized $today into the SQL using NOW() in the query
and removed sth->finish. Even though I dislike the return style
that gives the count, then the array, I left it becuase I don't
have time to fix/test all the callers. However, I did convert
it so it doesn't require a $count variable and its own loop.

branchoverdues.pl
~ Removed unused variables.
~ Use elsif where applicable.
~ Added many FIXMEs.
~ Added help description.
~ Changed link to more accurate description.
~ REFACTORED branchoverdues-specific function in C4 for obvious consolidation.
This report is still of questionable value, since it's dataset has such strange
hardcoded limitations. It is not clear that "FU" type fines and notifys=0 are
reliable or useful indicators to query on, in hardcoded form.

CalcFine returned values that mismatched expectations in fines.pl.
fines.pl refactored: added debugging, prevent needless recreation of
Calendar objects by storing them in hash by branch.
Still outstanding problems with fines, including the output of a field
that has no other references in Koha (so is always undef) and the
incorrect description of FinesMode.
Calendar exported "new" erroneously. I also cleaned up the queries to
avoid needlessly compiling additional statement handles.
Please test and consider application to 3.0 maintenance.

This patch adds the misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl script that is intended to replace
overduenotices.pl, overduenotices-30.pl and overduenotices-csv.pl. It adds messages to
the message_queue to be sent later (by process_message_queue.pl). It also marks borrowers
as debarred if their issues become too overdue.
It is intended to be run from cron nightly with usage something like:
0 2 * * * misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl
C4::Members:
- improved documentation on ModMember
- made ModMember return a useful value (the return value of the database call)
- added a DebarMember method
- adding t/lib/KohaTest/Members/DebarMember.pm to test ModMember
misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl
- designed to replace overduenotices.pl, overduenotices-30.pl, and overduenotice-csv
Changes to C4::Letters:
- EnqueueLetter now lets you pass in to_address and from_address which can override defaults
- _send_message_by_email pays attention to these defaults.
- now handles attachments with MIME::Lite
C4::Overdues
- added GetBranchcodesWithOverdueRules
- added t/lib/KohaTest/Overdues/GerBranchcodesWithOverdueRules.pm to test that.
circ/overdue.pl
- replaced call to obsolete overduenotices-csv.pl with call to overdue_notices.pl
KohaTest:
- added three helper methods: random_phone, random_email, random_ip
- these can be used to populate example records
- you can now pass an optional lengh to random_string

I've added methods to to C4::Letters to manage the database table
message_queue. This will let us keep track of messages sent
via email, sms, and rss to patrons. That way, we can show the history,
deal with failures, and reconstruct an RSS feed when needed.
misc/cronjobs/overduenotics.pl has been added. It prepares advance notices
and item due notices and stages messages to be sent in the message_queue
table.
C4::Overdues::Getoverdues now takes two optional arguments to tell it how
old of overdues to fetch.
Also, a C4::Circualtion::getUpcomingDueIssues method was added that
advance_notices.pl uses.
misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl has been added. It sends the email
or SMS messages out of the message queue.
The C4::SMS module didn't work at all, and it has been rebuilt to use
an external perl module from CPAN, SMS::Send.

This fix should resolve in whole or in part several bugs
characterized by the error message 'Can't use string ("0")
as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use', including
bugs 1101, 1899, and 1910.
There are some possibilities for future work:
[1] Dealing with an operator override, e.g., where
a circ operator needs to get a supervisor
to enter a login and password and escalate
the original operator's privileges for a
transaction, e.g., to forgive a fine. This
is an enhancement, of course.
[2] Creating a dummy operator to represent
batch job runs; or alternatively, give
each batch job an option to log its work
under a specified user ID.

The new tables have the same structure and constraints
as the tables they archive with the following exceptions:
* borrowernumber and biblionumber in old_reserves can be
NULL
* the FK constraints (e.g., for itemnumber) on old_reserves
set the child column to NULL if the parent row is deleted
instead of deleting the child row.
* there is no FK constraint on old_issues.branchcode, allowing
a branch to be deleted without changing archived requests.
Some miscellaneous cleanup was done as part of this patch:
* GetMemberIssuesAndFines (C4::Members) now uses bind variables
* fixed POD for GetMemberIssuesAndFines

- pay.pl fixed, the librarian can see patron fines & mark them paid
- fines2.pl fixed, the script now calculate the fines correctly from the finerules :
* itemtype / patron category if it exist
* itemtype / default if needed
- renamed misc/fines.pl as fines-sanop.pl
- added 2 systempreferences:
* MaxFine: the max amount a patron can be charged for an item
* NoReturnSetLost: how many days of late before a non returned item is marked lost & the patron charged for the full cost of replacement
(those values where hardcoded in fines2.pl
- C4/Circulation/Fines.pm has been removed (unused duplicate of C4/Overdues)
Note that SANOP feature about notify levels have NOT been ported here. I think they are too specific now, and the code is poorly written
I've renammed fines.pl to fines-sanop.pl to point that it is specific.
Thus, all notify_id related features are not used by anything (and always 0)
Can be interesting to reintroduce them, but that will probably be a large work...
