Development is sponsored by libraries of varying types and sizes, +volunteers, and support companies from around the world. +The website for the Koha project is + + http://koha-community.org/ + +Koha 3.2.9 can be downloaded from: + + http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.02.09.tar.gz + +Installation instructions can be found at: + + http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation + +IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING 3.2.x EOL +======================================================================== +With the release of 3.4.0, the 3.2.x branch is nearing its EOL. +After 3.2.10 or 04/15/2011, a motion will be made at the August 2011 +general IRC meeting to officially announce EOL for the 3.2.x branch. +Please keep this in mind when planning new deployments and upgrades to +existing systems. + +Highlights of 3.2.9 +====================== + +NOTE: This release is a security release. It is strongly recommended that users apply +this upgrade immediately to production systems. If you are installing a new system, please +use this version rather than earlier versions. + +System Requirements +====================== + + Changes since 3.0: + + * The minimum version of Perl required is now 5.8.8. + * There are a number of new Perl module dependencies. + Run ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m to get a list of + any new modules to install during upgrade. + +Upgrades +====================== + +The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly +from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different. +During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping +that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly +recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review +the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x. + +Documentation +====================== + +As of Koha 3.2, the Koha manual is now maintained in DocBook.
