## New features

### Architecture, internals, and plumbing

- [[22417]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22417) Add a task queue

  >There are long standing issues in Koha when working under Plack. Some scripts are only running in CGI mode.
  >In this first step we are introducing RabbitMQ (a message broker) to deal with asynchronous tasks.
  >
  >In this first iteration we are adapting the batch update record tools (both biblio and authority) to use it.
  >A list of the jobs that have been or is being processed is available, see the new view at /admin/background_jobs.pl.

### Circulation

- [[21946]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21946) Group circulation by item type

  >This feature adds the ability to define some itemtypes as 'parent' to other item types for defining circulation limits.
  >
  >This allows to create 'groups' of related items types. E.g. - a library has both Blu-ray and DVD itemtypes - these can be grouped under the 'Media' itemtype. The checkout limit for Media will then apply to both Blu-ray and DVD. 
  >
  >So if a library says a patron can have 4 dvds - 4 blu-ray - and sets Media to have a limit of 4 then patrons can have up to 4 items of either type (e.g. 1 DVD, 3 blu-rays) but will be prevented from checking out more of either type by the limit on the parent.
  >
  >Parent rules only apply to checkout limits.
- [[25534]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25534) Add ability to specifying and store a reason when cancelling a hold

  >This new feature adds an option to allow staff to add a reason for cancellation when cancelling a hold.
  >
  >The new 'CANCELLATION_REASON' authorized value is used to provide a configurable pick list of reasons.
  >
  >Optionally, the library may choose to define a 'HOLD_CANCELLATION' notice which will be sent whenever a cancellation reason is assigned.

### Fines and fees

- [[19036]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19036) Number payment receipts / payment slips

### ILL

- [[22818]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22818) ILL should be able to send notices

  **Sponsored by** *PTFS Europe*

  >This patch adds the ability for ILL to send notices, both triggered by staff and triggered by events.
  >
  >Staff can trigger notices to patrons from the "Manage ILL request" screen:
  >- ILL request ready for pickup
  >- ILL request unavailable
  >- Place request with partners
  >
  >The following notices to staff are triggered automatically:
  >- Request has been modified by patron
  >- Request has been cancelled by patron
  >
  >Branches can now specify an "ILL email" address to which notices intended to inform staff of changes to requests by patrons can be sent.
  >
  >The sending of notices is controlled by a few new sysprefs:
  >- "ILLDefaultStaffEmail" - Fallback email address for staff ILL notices
  >to be sent to in the absence of a branch address
  >- "ILLSendStaffNotices" - To specify which staff notices should be sent
  >automatically when requests are manipulated by patrons
  >
  >Patron notices are also controlled by the patron's messaging
  >preferences.

### Patrons

- [[24151]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24151) Add a pseudonymization process for patrons and transactions

  **Sponsored by** *Association KohaLa*

  >This new feature adds a way to pseudonymize patron data, in a way that it will not be able to identify the person (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonymization)
  >
  >There are different existing ways to anonymize patron information in
  >Koha, but by removing information we loose the ability to make useful reports. 
  >
  >This development introduces two new tables:
  >  * pseudonymized_transactions for transactions and patron data 
  >  * pseudonymized_borrower_attributesfor patron attributes 
  >Entries to pseudonymized_transactions are added when a new transaction (checkout, checkin, renew, on-site checkout) is done.
  >The table anonymized_borrower_attributes is populated if patron attributes are marked as "keep for pseudonymization".
  >
  >To make things configurable, three system preferences have been added:
  >  * Pseudonymization to turn on/off the whole feature
  >  * PseudonymizationPatronFields to list the information of the patrons to synchronize
  >  * PseudonymizationTransactionFields to list the information of the transactions to copy

### System Administration

- [[22343]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22343) Add configuration options for SMTP servers

  >This patchset adds the ability to set SMTP servers and then pick them for using on each library when sending notices, cart, etc.
  >
  >SSL/TLS authentication is supported [*]
  >
  >A new administration page is added for managing the servers.
  >
  >
  >[*] ssl_mode=starttls is not supported under Ubuntu 16 due to old library versions.
- [[26290]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26290) Add the ability to set a default SMTP server in koha-conf.xml

  >With this enhancement, systems administrators can set a default/global SMTP configuration when creating the Koha instance, or by manually editing the koha-conf.xml.

- [[25334]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25334) Add generic 'phone' message transport type

  >Previously the 'phone' message transport in Koha was tied to itiva and was not adaptable to other vendors. In this version that transport is renamed 'itiva' and we add a new 'phone' type that generates notices in the same manner as email, sms and print notices. Koha on it's own will not do anything with these notices. Instead, you will need a plugin such as https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-twilio-voice to handle making the phone calls and updating the notice status.

  >
  >The main changes are:
  >* It is only displayed if it would actually have results (right now it always shows, and the link can point to empty results)
  >* It is no longer constrained to serials: _collections_, _subunits_, _integrating resources_, _monographs_ and _serials_, all will display the link.

  >
  >* _analytic_collection_
  >* _analytic_subunit_
  >* _analytic_ires_
  >* _analytic_monograph_

  >
  >```
  >.analytic_collection .analytic_subunit .analytic_ires .analytic_monograph { display: none };
  >```
  >
  >This CSS classes can be used in both OPAC and admin interface.

  >Some libraries would like patrons to be unable to return items with holds via SIP. Instead, the screen message should indicate that the patron should return that item at the circ desk so a librarian can use it to fill the next hold right away and place it on the hold shelf. This feature is enabled by adding the flag holds_block_checkin to an account in the SIP configuration file, and setting the value of it to "1".

### Significant changes for developers

- [[22417]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22417) A task queue is added to Koha

> It relies on the STOMP protocol to notify the worker about the tasks. Koha is now using RabbitMQ as the message broker.
> A new page is added for monitoring the background job execution (/cgi-bin/koha/admin/background_jobs.pl).
> This sets the ground for future improvements for asynchronous  and long running tasks. All background jobs that prevent us from full Plack experience, will be migrated in a short term. A way for plugin methods to be scheduled for execution is one of the things devs are working on as well. 

- [[20582]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20582) Koha as a Mojolicious application

> While experimental at this point, this development prepares the ground for new ways to think of Koha pages and routes. It also allows us to think of relying on non-blocking application servers like Hypnotoad, and thus being able to implement asynchronous code.
> To test, use starman with the new `app.psgi` at the root of Koha source code, or use morbo/hypnotoad with scripts `bin/opac` and `bin/intranet`. A reverse proxy is not needed but you can use one, and basic configuration files for apache and nginx are provided in `etc/`.
> This also allows to generate simpler containerized deployments of Koha.


- [[26672]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26672) Create metapackage to install Koha and all its dependencies

> Two new Koha packages have been created: `koha-full` and `koha-core`;  Both packages are currently considered as experimental, and are not recommended for production use until further notice. We will be testing them during the 20.11 release cycle.

- [[26893]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26893) Debian 11 support

> Currently the Debian 11 version of JSON::Validator (v4.10) is incompatible with Koha. A temporary solution has been to provide JSON::Validator (v3.25). 
The package is named 'libjson-validator-perl-4.10+really3.25-koha1', following the '+really' naming convention described in section 5.6.12.1 here: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html
> Installing Koha on Debian 11 now requires the 'bullseye' component to be added to the apt repo definition, example below...
> `$ echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main bullseye' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list`
> This requirement will eventually be removed as we upgrade to JSON::Validator (v4.10)

- Plack error logs are now timestamped  and split for each PSGI application for Plack-enabled Koha.
The new log files are `plack-opac-error.log`, `plack-intranet-error.log`, and `plack-api-error.log` and can be found in the Koha instance log directory.
- auto_savepoint has been turned on at database connection level to properly handle nested transactions ([[26639]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26639))
- 3 system preferences have been moved to news block: `opaccredits`, `OpacCustomSearch` and `OpacLoginInstructions`
- The whole test suite passes when Elasticsearch is used ([[26250]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26250))
- The `authnotrequired` parameter of get_template_and_user was audited this cycle. It should now only be used when we need to override the value of `OPACPublic`; It's presence will now provoke a QA script warning ([[24663]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24663)).
- Removal of jquery.checkboxes ([[26006]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26006))
- Update of the OPAC bootstrap template to bootstrap v4 ([[20168]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20168))
- The .mailmap file has been updated to reflect the current project's history (26394 and 26621). It will provide us a better author mapping on http://git.koha-community.org/stats/koha-master/authors.html
- Removal of items.paid for once and for all ([[26268]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26268))
The `paid` field in the `items` table has been removed to prevent accidental re-introduction of syncing code and overhead.  The only place where the value is surfaced in the UI has been replaced with an on-demand calculated value.
- Allow setting trace_to parameter in Elasticsearch config ([[26310]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26310))
- The showLastPatron cookie has been removed and is now stored client-side only (localStorage)
- Add a generic 'phone' message transport type for notices ([[25333]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25333) and [[25334]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25334))

> The existing 'phone' message transport type has been first renamed 'itiva' and then another new generic 'phone' has been created.
> Talking Tech as a company has sold itiva, which is the actual name of the software. To pave the way for pluggable phone notices, it made sense to rename our existing 'phone' transport to itiva. It should be noted that the itvia transport doesn't operate in the same way as all the other transports.
> The new generic 'phone' transport behaves the same as email, sms, and print. That is, it generates the notice based on what is put in the content of the slips and notices module, just like all the transports except itiva. Koha does nothing with these notices. If you were to set up phone notices in Koha, they would remain pending forever. The idea is to have plugins to handle sending phone notices and updating the status of those notices. A plugin that utilises  Twilio to make phone notices calls is already available, but we could also have plugins for things like ShoutBomb, PBXs like Asterisk.

### Dev tools

- misc/devel/get-prepared-letter.pl is a new developer script to preview a letter ([[24591]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24591))
It's a simple helper script to test the result of GetPreparedLetter. See `misc/devel/get-prepared-letter.pl --help`
- misc/devel/update_dbix_class_files.pl has the --force option to force a schema overwrite ([[25511]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25511))
Sometimes, if you know what you are doing, you may want to force a schema overwrite regardless of whether the hashes report there are changes above the fold.
***WARNING***: Use this at your own risk.. it's helpful if you are maintaining a fork or in other such cases. You should always attempt to run the script without force first and only resort to using force if that fails. It is also very much worthwhile checking the diff after running with force to ensure you have not resulted in any unexpected changes.
- Add debug option to koha-indexer ([[24306]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24306))
- gulp is now required to create or update PO files ([[25067]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25067)). Use `gulp po:create [--lang xx-XX]` or `gulp po:update [--lang xx-XX]`
The old method using `misc/translator/translate create|update` still works, but is deprecated.

### Refactoring
- C4::Accounts::manualinvoice has been removed ([[22394]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22394))
- C4 :: Logs :: GetLogs has been removed, use Koha::ActionLogs->search instead ([[23632]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23632))
- C4 :: Acquisition :: DelOrder has been moved to Koha::Acquisition::Order->cancel
- C4 :: Acquisition :: DelBasket has been replaced by Koha::Acquisition::Basket->delete
- C4 :: Acquisition :: CloseBasket has been moved to Koha::Acquisition::Basket->close
- C4::Circulation::_RestoreOverdueForLostAndFound has been moved as a trigger of Koha::Item->store ([[23091]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23091))
- The whole C4::Images module has been moved to Koha::CoverImage[s] ([[26145]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26145))
- C4::Suggestions::CountSuggestion has been replaced by a call to Koha::Suggestions->search->count
- C4::Koha::GetDailyQuote has been replaced by Koha::Quote->get_daily_quote
- C4::Biblio::GetMarcHosts has been removed (it was not used)
- C4::Bookseller has been removed, its last remaining subroutine GetBooksellersWithLateOrders has been replaced by a call to Koha::Acquisition::Orders->search

### Improving the codebase
- All our codebase now passes perlcritic ([[21395]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21395))
All perlcritic violations have been removed from the code, and a .perlcriticrc file has been added. When writing new code, please make sure that it does not add perlcritic errors. Run `perlcritic <modified_file.pl>` to check.  
- Expected DBI warnings have been hidden from the test output ([[26157]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26157))
Tests should not output warnings, especially when they are expected. We still have lot of warnings that need to be hidden, see [[25515]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25515) for the long term goal to reach.
- Preparing for Perl 7 - Prohibit indirect object notation ([[25898]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25898))

> We encounter only one issue that we would face with Perl 7 and we fixed it.
> Indirect object notation will be forbidden by default in Perl 7. You must now write My::Class->new instead of new My::Class

- Installer files have been moved under the `mandatory` subdirectory (installer/data/mysql/) ([[23895]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23895))
- Ability to localize and translate system preferences with new yaml based installer ([[24973]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24973)) 

> If you are maintaining the translation of a language under installer/data/mysql, you should consider removing it and use the usual workflow for translation instead (using translate.koha-community.org).

### Accessibility improvements
An accessibility audit on the OPAC took place during the cycle which resulted in a number of bugs being reported, and subsequently fixed.

- Header levels - All OPAC pages should now contain just one H1 level heading and then consistent header increments without gaps.
- Skip to main content - A hidden button now appears upon first tab navigation to allow keyboard users skip to the main content of the page quickly without having to tab through all the navigation elements.
- We now consistently introduce content on all OPAC pages using properly defined headers.
- DataTables content overlap improvements were undertaken to prevent content overlapping at high zoom levels.
- The aria-label html tag was exposed to the translation tools to encourage a wider adoption of it's use.
- Some new coding guidelines were introduced focused on accessibility and bugs opened to collect cases where these new guidelines are not yet adhered to in the existing codebase: [[26926]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26926) - Update all occurrences of `<input type="number">` to apply ACC2 coding guideline.
- Finally, to encourage continued focus on accessibility in future cycles, a new role 'Accessibility Advocate' was added to the team for the next cycle.

### REST API enhancements
- Add columns_settings support to API datatables wrapper ([[25287]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25287))

> In order to properly use our API for server-side rendering of DataTables, a wrapper has been introduced. This wrapper has been added columns settings support. The libraries and cities pages are using this wrapper to render using the API and use server-side pagination and filtering. They can be used as sample implementations. A more complex example can be found on bug [[20212]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20212) which is expected to land on the next cycle.

### Plugins support
4 new plugin's hooks are available:

- `after_hold_create`

> Once a hold has been placed, the 'after_hold_create' plugin hook is called. Each implementing plugin will be passed the related Koha::Hold object as parameter.

- `after_circ_action`

> After circulation actions take place, the 'after_circ_action' hook is called. Each implementing plugin will be passed a data structure like this:
```
{
        action => <string describing the action>,
        payload => { hashref with relevant information }
}
```

> Here' s a list of the possible actions and the payload they carry (this should be a table, with columns type, payload):

> - checkout: `{ type => 'onsite_checkout' | 'issue', checkout => Koha::Checkout object }`

> - checkin: `{ checkin => Koha::Checkout object }`

> - renewal: `{ checkout => Koha::Checkout object }`

- `opac_results_xslt_variables` and `opac_detail_xslt_variables`

> These hooks will be called when rendering the search results and detail page in the OPAC, respectively. The implemented methods on the plugin, need to return a hashref with key:value pairs. No nested structures are expected. Those variables will be injected into the XSLT pipeline so people tweaking their XSLTs can take advantage of them. As an example, take a look at the following link: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=107477

### Features deprecation

- We have announced the deprecation of OpacGroupResults ([[20410]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20410)) on the mailing list.
https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2020-November/055362.html

- Also, the PayPal logic code will be removed from Koha ([[23215]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23215)).
When the plugin hooks for payment plugins were introduced, many payment plugins were written and distributed. PayPal is not different than any of those, and there is an implementation already. The PayPal plugin provides interesting new features as it moved forward: support for per-library configurations, including minimum theresholds, credentials, etc.
As of now, the core PayPal payments feature is considered deprecated and is marked for removal on the next release (21.05). Instructions for migrating your current configuration into the plugin's can be found on the plugin site(https://gitlab.com/thekesolutions/plugins/koha-plugin-pay-via-paypal).

## Special thanks

I would like to thank the whole development core team for our constant communication improvement.

We managed to better focus on the same topics at the same time and we are going to enhance Koha quicker and greatly in the next cycle.

I am really looking forward to continue what we started over the last 6 months!

Mason, our package manager, did an impressive work the last couple of cycles to improve our packaging system, thanks to him!

Thanks to BibLibre, ByWater Solution and PTFS Europe for their continuous support and trust in me.
