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.

Thanks Katrin.
Bug 6328: make comment a textbox / fix debar by notice trigger
Debarring by notice triggers was broken, because the new function
expects a date as second parameter.
The comment field in patron account details was a very long text field.
Patch changes it to be a textbox instead.
Bug 6328: Lift debarment leaves patron account
'Lift debarment' redirects to an empty circulation page.

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

Comments fron Zeno Tajoli: The patch is OK and I sign-off it. Two little changes done on
installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql and installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl
