An item can be marked as lost by longoverdue.pl, but left checked out to
the patron. In this case, the item will continue to accrue fines.
Test Plan:
1) Check out an item and back date it so it is overdue and should
generate fines.
2) Mark the item as lost by either using longoverdue.pl, or just
by setting itemlost to 1 by directly accessing the database
3) Run fines.pl
4) Note the overdue generated a fine
5) Repeat steps 1-2
6) Apply this patch
7) Run fines.pl
8) Note a fine was not generated

Test plan (see Bug 6858 for using staticfine.pl) :
For a user (of a given category and library) with several overdues, launch the script :
staticfines.pl --category CAT,AMOUNT --library LIB --delay DELAY
Then, check that the user has been charged of AMOUNT if the due date of the most late item plus the delay is *before* today.
One day later, re-execute the script with the same parameters and check that the fine has not been charged twice.
Without patch, the fine is charged twice, with patch the user already charged is skipped (see output in debug mode)

When using the backdating of returns feature, an item that is not

This patch adds a more extensible and flexible debarments system to Koha. The fields
borrowers.debarred and borrowers.debarredcomment are retained for compatibility and
speed.
This system supports having debarments for multiple reasons. There are currently
three types of debarments:
OVERDUES - Generated by overdue_notices.pl if the notice should debar a patron
SUSPENSION - A punative debarment generated on checkin via an issuing rule
MANUAL - A debarment created manually by a librarian
OVERDUE debarments are cleared automatically when all overdue items have been returned,
if the new system preference AutoRemoveOverduesRestrictions is enabled. It is disabled
by default to retain current default functionality.
Whenever a borrowers debarments are modified, the system updates the borrowers debarment
fields with the highest expiration from all the borrowers debarments, and concatenates
the comments from the debarments together.
Test plan:
1) Apply patch
2) Run updatedatabase.pl
3) Verify the borrower_debarments table has been created and
populated with the pre-existing debarments
4) Run t/db_dependent/Borrower_Debarments.t
5) Manually debar a patron, with an expiration date
6) Verify the patron cannot be issued to
7) Add another manual debarment with a different expiration date
8) Verify the 'restricted' message lists the date farthest into the future
9) Add another manual debarment with no expiration date
10) Verify the borrower is now debarred indefinitely
11) Delete the indefinite debarment
12) Verify the debarment message lists an expiration date dagain
13) Enable the new system preference AutoRemoveOverduesRestrictions
14) Set an overdue notice to debar after 1 day of being overdue
15) Check out an item to a patron and backdate the due date to yesterday
16) Run overdue_notices.pl
17) Verify the OVERDUES debarment was created
18) Return the item
19) Verify the OVERDUES debarment was removed
20) Disable AutoRemoveOverduesRestrictions
21) Repeat steps 15 though 18, verify the OVERDUES debarment was *not* removed
22) Add issuing rules so that an overdue item causes a temporary debarment
23) Check out an item to a patron and backdate the due date by a year
24) Return the item
25) Verify the SUSPENSION debarment was added to the patron

2) Create a fine of 10.00 for that patron
3) Pay off the fine
4) Set MaxFines to 5.00
5) Check out an item to the patron, backdate the due date
so the item should generate fines.

Renew an issue for a number of days (filled in the issuing rules).
Test if rules work for any i[item]types and if there is no regression.
- new column issuingrules.renewalperiod
- remove all occurrences of an already removed syspref (globalDueDate)
- remove an unused routine (Overdues::GetIssuingRules)
How it works:
- On existing installations, the issuingrules.renewalperiod =
issuingrules.loanlength. So the behaviour is the same before and after
this patch.
- when you add a rule, you can choose a renewal period (the unit value
is the issuingrules.unit). So you can have a renewal period in hours
or days.
- The default value for the renewal period is 21 days (same as
loanlength)

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: make comment a textbox / fix debar by notice trigger

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

Bug 6801: member details page taking long time to load when many checkouts present
This patch removes the call to GetMemberDetails in build_issue_data; this heavy-weight
subroutine was being run for every single item a patron (or their relatives) have checked out.
Instead, the borrowers first name, surname and cardnumber are added to the GetPendingIssues query.
I believe this is reasonable since GetPendingIssues can now return issues for multiple borrowers.
Also corrects the $borrowernumber used for GetIssuesCharges and CanItemBeRenewed; was using the borrower whose
page we were on, NOT the borrower of that specific item (which would be different in the Relatives Checkouts tab).
Template calls to [% scope.borrowername %] are now broken up into [% scope.firstname %] [% scope.surname %].

NOW() returns minuts and seconds. date_due is just YYYY-MM-DD
Thus date_due < now() is wrong if date_due is today, and the patron is considered as late.
With curdate(), the patron is late only the day after the overdue limit
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.

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.
