In India a ILS product called Libsuite8 prints barcodes like b0007432. The barcode is not stored anywhere in libsuite8's database. Neither is barcode available in any of the reports generated by the software.
The barcode 'b0007432' when scanned into the libsuite8 software is de-constructed like 'b' which is the itemtype i.e. Book in this instance, and '7432' which is the 'Accession Number'. The software then takes the logged in staff's branchcode and does a join on three tables 'Location', 'Media_Type', and 'Books' to retrieve the particular record from the database.
There is no possibility of recreating the barcodes for insertion in Koha while doing a retrospective conversion, because of arbitrary length of the barcode string AND arbitrary number of zeros in the numeric part of the printed barcode AND the fact that there are no reports available from the software which contain barcodes AND the fact that the barcode is not stored in the database.
But most importantly due to the simple fact that printed barcodes are duplicated among branches.
Therefore this patch emulates the functionality of Libsuite8 software of converting the scanned barcode into one stored in Koha using the itemBarcodeInputFilter system preference.
To use this new itemBarcodeInputFilter systempreference choice called 'libsuite8', the barcodes stored in Koha must match the pattern of <branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>. This is easy to achieve while doing retrospective conversion from Libsuite8 to Koha.
As expected the itemBarcodeInputFilter will return unmodified barcode if presented with a barcode of pattern <branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>
This revision corrects the way updatedatabase.pl is changed in order to correctly update version and insert the libsuite8 option in the database. Also kohaversion.pl is changed in the recommended format of 3.0X.0X.XXX to reflect database has changed.
This revision also changes the erronorous itemBarcodeInputFilter description in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/circulation.pref from 'scanned patron barcodes' to 'scanned item barcodes' there by eliminating need for a separate patch for bug 5417.

2) set next database number in kohaversion.pl and updatedatabase.pl

This system preference allows the librarian to toggle on or off whether the JQuery tablesort is used on the
circ/circulation.pl page. For patrons with many checkouts, this sort may cause very slow page loading (and
therefore slow circulation transaction time), depending on the browser and local machine used. Staff can
still see a sortable list of current checkouts on the members/moremember.pl page.
My revision prevents the template from including *any* tablesorter code if the
preference is feature is turned off: both the circulation list and
the holds list will have no jQuery tablesorter.

This is done by saving the notices in the message_queue table with
type 'print'. The notices are generated from a notice named
HOLD_PRINT. At the end of the day, they are dumped to an HTML file and
marked as sent by a new cronjob.
This setup is intended to be temporary; modules/batch/ shouldn't be around
forever.
Mandatory SQL:
INSERT INTO message_transport_types (message_transport_type) values ('print');
Modified overdue_notices.pl to support output of html for printing.
The -html option will e-mail notices to those with e-mail, and output
html to print for borrowers without e-mail.
When system preference PrintNoticesMaxLines is set to a positive
integer, it will limit the number of items on the notice to that
number, and append a message to the end telling the borrower to
check his or her account for the full listing of items. This only
affects print notices, not emailed ones.
Mandatory SQL:
INSERT INTO `systempreferences`
( `variable` , `value` , `options` , `explanation` , `type` ) i
VALUES ( 'PrintNoticesMaxLines', '0', '', i
'If greater than 0, sets the maximum number of lines an overdue notice will print. If the number of items is greater than this number, the notice will end with a warning asking the borrower to check their online account for a full list of overdue items.',
'Integer' );

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 simple update has been running live for SMFPL.org for almost 2 weeks

Bug 3730 - Wrong ISO 639-2 Language Code for Portuguese in database
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3730
For 3.0.x head of the Git branch, the ISO 639-2 Language Code for
Portuguese in Koha database is wrong.
Specifically, in the table "language_rfc4646_to_iso639", when the
field "rfc4646_subtag" has the value "pt", the field "iso639_2_code"
should have the value of "por" and NOT the current one of "pol"
("pol" refers to "Polish" as correctly also appears for the code "pl",
in the row above the "pt" one).
In my test setups, this showed some serious sequences for people
that choose the Portuguese language in the Web Installer, namely:
- very weird look of Staff client with missing Header and Footer,
that renders the Staff client unusable
- Portuguese translation apparently not getting updated for the OPAC
(for people that do an Upgrade from a previous version)
This patch is for the 3.0.x branch (I tested it with that branch).
For the master branch, I don't have a database setup to create and
test a similar patch but Chris Cormack nicely volunteered to do that.
Thanks Chris!

Some small, single-branch corporate and special libraries use unattended self-checkout stations, and would like to automate the staff login, so that just going to the sco/sco-main.pl URL would bring the self-check up ready for patron use. This patch create three sysprefs, AutoSelfCheckAllowed, and AutoSelfCheckID/AutoSelfCheckPass. If the site wants to allow automated login, staff would then need to create the selfcheck user record and enter that login ID and password into the sysprefs. The kohaclone/opac/sco/sco-main.pl script has been modified to check these sysprefs and pass values (if present and allowed) into the self-check URL. The URL then bypasses the staff login page and comes up ready for checkout, waiting for the first patron barcode.
