New features

Holds

• [14695] Add ability to place multiple item holds on a given record per patron

Koha now supports the ability for a patron to place multiple holds on a single bibliographic record, with the type and limits configurable as circulation rules. This new functionality is especially useful for records with heterogeneous items, where a patron may need to request multiple specific items.

• [5260] Add option to send an order by e-mail to the acquisition module

It will be possible to send order information to the vendor by e-mail. For now this feature can be triggered manually with a button before closing the basket. The order e-mail is based on the acquisition claim feature, but uses a new notice template: ACQORDER.

Cataloging

• [14793] New cataloguing plugin unimarc_field_225a_bis

Circulation

• [14610] Add ability to place article requests in Koha

Patrons

• [3534] Patron quick add form

This patch adds a new system preference: PatronQuickAddFields When either this pref or BorrowerMandatoryField is populated this will add a new dropdown to the bew patron toolbar. When a category is chosen from this dropdown the fields in PatronQuickAddFields and BorrowerMandatoryField will be displayed. There will be a button allowing a user to switch from the quickadd to the full form and fields will be copied between the forms when toggling. The Quick add will only be displayed on add of a new patron, future edits should display the full form.

• [5670] Housebound Readers Module

The Housebound module is an addition to Koha to allow the library to link together housebound patrons, volunteers, delivers and book choosers. Ability to create housebound profiles & scheduled visits for patrons. Ability to record users as Deliverers or Choosers (or both), using extended patron attributes. Ability to link choosers and deliverers to individual delivery runs. 'Delivery Frequencies' are customizable through authorised values ('HSBND_FREQ').
