But it's fully useable and used in (at least) 3 libraries in "real world" : +* Nelsonville Public Library, Ohio, USA +* Esiee, high school, France +* Dombes Abbey, France + +The next version should/might be the 2.0.0RC1. +The only missing features are : +* a migration tool for libraries already using Koha1.2.x +* an automated upgrading tool for future version. It's possible to upgrade manually. + +IMPROVEMENTS : +--------- +* adding a demo setup : if you set "demo=1" in /etc/koha.conf, Koha is in "demo mode". In this mode, user can connect with "demo/demo", even if this user is not in members table. +He can do everything, except that any modif/add/delete done in systempref or marc structure is NOT saved in the DB. This avoid demo user breaking the demo config. +* adding javascript function to focus on 1st field for issues / returns. Thus, librarian don't need manual mouse focus & can scan barcode immediatly. +* authories/thesaurus management : adding the possibility to add an authority directly. + +UPGRADING : +--------- +People using a previous 2.0.0preX version can upgrade code and use the same DB, there's no DB change. +To upgrade mannually : +- mv /etc/koha.conf /etc/koha.conf_previous +- install in a new directory /var/www/html/koha_200pre3 for example. +- delete the 2.0.0pre3 DB +- modify /etc/koha.conf to point to 2.0.0pre3 DB +- modify httpd.conf to have Koha root directory pointing to 200pre3 install instead of 200pre2 +- restart Apache. + +Note : you can use the 2.0.0pre2 login/password. +If you do, mySQL may complaint about "already existing DB user". It's not a problem. + +Note : you can also use "CVS symlink installation" of Koha if you prefer.
