[Koha-devel] 24.05 Bug freeze / String freeze

Hi all, as of today, we are in String freeze. This means we will try to avoid any changes that would affect translations. We will also be more cautious about any other patch included in this version, so less critical bug fixes might also be held back for a later maintenance release.

Re: [Koha-devel] Automatic renewal feature

Hi, normally you can assign the bug to yourself if the status is still NEW and not ASSIGNED, but we are a bit lax with setting the correct status sometimes, so leaving a note on the bug that you plan to work on something is probably good. I filed bug 7413 ages ago and it would be nice to see

Re: [Koha-devel] bug in Acquisition module, regarding VAT management ?

Hi Mathieu, from your description it looks like a bug to me too. I think what we need is documentation how each price element should be calculated for each vendor setting. I often wonder – is it really a bug or is it miscalculation on my part? Thank you for taking the time to document

Re: [Koha-devel] [QA] QAing and signing off

Hi Marcel and Chris, I think what you are discussing here is basically the definition of 'Passed QA'. I think setting this status means, that I am sure that a patch works and does not cause any regressions. I would like QA team members only to set this status, if they are sure. Else what we

Re: [Koha-devel] Losing biblio.author in 3.8.5

Hi Paul, the fields in biblio, biblioitems and items are connected to MARC fields by the Koha-to-MARC-Mappings in the administration area. Have you checked if someone changed the mapping for your author fields? Also the mappings are 1:1, so say someone tried mapping 700, 100 would no longer be

Hi all, I think so far we have a lot of votes for keeping the discussion on the Koha developer mailing list so it looks to me like this is what we should do. Also a +1 from me. I think Mirko made a good point that it is interesting for all developers to know how the QA team works. On another

Re: [Koha-devel] Default search options in the OPAC

Hi all, I am sorry, but there is a big problem with that solution as suggested. The search options won't be translatable and only available in one language at a time. I think what we really need is a way to have all the HTML system preferences in an editor like we have for news that supports

Re: [Koha-devel] Problems with suggestions

I think I would still prefer a system preference here. But I also like the idea to remember the last state for each user. But I think this would be harder to do - while a system preference might be the easier way to go back to former behaviour? Katrin -Original Message- From:

Hi Owen, I am not feeling comfortable with adding more search options to the masthead search bar too. As you wrote it should be simple to use and we already offer a lot of options there. One of the bugs noted that the full functionality can not be achieved by using jQuery, so maybe we can

Re: [Koha-devel] Bugzilla component categories

Hi Marcel, +1 I was going to propose something similar at the next IRC meeting. I think our current system of default assignees does not really work (with a few exceptions) and your idea to leave the field empty will end a lot of confusion. I was also wondering how bug wranglers could be

Re: [Koha-devel] Bugzilla component categories

Perhaps the answer is to blank only those modules, where the default assignee does not say he/she wants to keep it? This way we will start again from a clean state and can add new module maintainers later on if someone volunteers. Katrin From:

Re: [Koha-devel] SQL reports [error]
