--- Comment #4 from Ray Delahunty <[email protected]> ---
Auto-renewal logic has changed a lot but there still are many challenges. Yes,
‘pointless emails’ are a problem (bug 35656 doesn’t help!). But we want the
opposite of what is suggested here. Our patrons are told the items will renew 9
times (for ten 1 week loan periods) and we want to email them only if that
routine is stopped. Ideally the development direction auto-renewals takes
generally will offer choice, so the customer can select preferred
functionality. Koha administrators have subtly different expectations for how
auto-renewal should work.

The functionality is puzzling at times, for example with potentially duplicate
emails from different notices (see bug 38203). And our 23.11 still sends
digests for the too_many error as well as the auto_renewal_final one but we are
delighted it does despite what bug 34924 says. Yes, we have multiple too_many
(and other DGST emails duplicated) but that is down to bug 35656.

In the absence of a product manager who defines the LMS roadmap, getting
agreement as to what should be ‘standard auto-renewals functionality’ is always
going to be a challenge that open-source Koha faces.
