RELEASE NOTES
|
|
=============
|
|
This release add a lot of bugfixes, a 1st z3950 support, and a script for migration from previous ILS.
|
|
|
|
FEATURE FREEZE !
|
|
---------
|
|
This version is the last version with new features before 2.0.
|
|
Please, report bugs on bugs.koha.org, and feel free to fix them (through patch or cvs commit)
|
|
|
|
|
|
PACKAGE NEEDED :
|
|
---------
|
|
Update your MARC::Record to get the latest version (1.26).
|
|
Koha won't work with old versions, and bulkmarcimport.pl need MARC::Batch.pm, whichi is recent.
|
|
MARC::Record 1.25 works to, but reports hundred of warnings in error_log. pls upgrage to 1.26 !
|
|
|
|
|
|
DB modifications :
|
|
---------
|
|
* the marc_breeding table has been modified. A row "encoding" varchar(40) has been added. It's used to manage character encoding.
|
|
* the z3950_servers table has been modified. A row "syntax" varchar(40) has been added. It's used to manage character encoding.
|
|
|
|
z3950 :
|
|
---------
|
|
* the z3950 script in admin part of Koha has been fixed and can be used and translated.
|
|
* z3950 cataloguing : when you reach the MARC-cataloguing screen, a new link appear : z3950 search.
|
|
* If you click on this link, a popup appears, and the search begins. The window is refreshed every 2 seconds, until all servers answered.
|
|
* The avaible records are shown in the popup. Click on the one you want, and... the popup closes and the biblio is copied in the cataloguing screen.
|
|
|
|
This works ONLY IF the z3950 daemon is launched. It's located at $kohadir/scripts/z3950daemon/
|
|
* MODIFY the scripts to fit you directory structure.
|
|
* Warning : due to a small bug, processqueue is in $kohadir/cgi-bin/z3950/ directory, not in the script one.
|
|
* Start daemon in a non-X shell, or launch processqueue in a shell, and KEEP IT OPEN.

iso2709 file import :
|
|
---------
|
|
This tools is very important and was waiting by libraries that plans to migrate from a previous ILS.
|
|
VERY IMPORTANT :
|
|
BEFORE using this script, take care of your MARC parameters, and check them twice. If they are wrong, you will get wrong results...
|
|
|
|
It's located (in CVS tree) at $koharoot/misc/bulkmarcimport.pl
|
|
|
|
It loads an iso2709 file into the ACTIVE Database. My 1st tests on sample files shows it works quite fine.
|
|
Feel free to try it.
|
|
How it works ? enter ./bulkmarcimport in a console, and look.
|
|
|
|
KNOWN LIMIT : If the barcode of an item does not exists, the scripts report an SQL error, and continue. BUT the corresponding item is not in the non-marc db, so it can't be requested or loaned.
|
|
|
|
sample file :
|
|
---------
|
|
The sample file has been removed from this release, as it's buggy (no MARC datas, making it quite useless)
|
|
|
|
Templates & translations :
|
|
---------
|
|
* Most images have been dropped from templates (all -except bugs- in french templates
|
|
* english is uptodate, and french should be too.
|
|
|
