Unless someone or some entity +steps forward to take over 3.2.x maintenance, this date will mark the +official EOL for the 3.2.x branch. Please keep this in mind when planning +new deployments and upgrades to existing systems. + +Highlights of 3.2.10 +====================== + +This release marks over 700 commits since the release of 3.2.0. That +represents nearly 90 commits per month since 3.2.0! Congratulations +are due to the entire community for all of the hard work which has gone +into improving Koha during this release cycle! + +Some of the higher profile bugs addressed in this release are: + +2246 Label printing doesn't work with Unicode characters (Improved + work-around rather than a fix.) +3072 'Heading-Main' authority-index breaks authority searching in + STABLE +4993 ldap search always anonymous when using auth_by_bind +5860 Adding duplicate stocknumber will fail silently +5094 auth_by_bind authentication can fail even if given a correct + password and userid + + +Bugs fixed in 3.2.10 +====================== + +3013 Value builder for 006 and 008 need choices for all format types +5653 default new label layout and sample data have broken call + number placeholder +5684 Z3950 search on OCLC pulls in items (tag 952) +6061 C4::Context clearing up system preference on update +6131 (unimarc only) improper index name for personal-name +6091 Remove undeclared syspref OPACAdvSearchInputCount +6152 Authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl should indicate it's automatically + generated +6218 patron login gets an initial dot added when no first name +6315 depreciation warnings in C4::Serials in new perls +6350 Bug for tracking updates to the history file +6401 Give Ian Walls credit in the history file. +5760 Add the jquery table sorter to borrowers reading record + +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.
