<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Before 18.05, suspension expiry date calculation didn't take the calendar into account. This behaviour changed with bug 19204, and some libraries miss the old behaviour. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These patches decouple overdue days calculation configuration (<code>finesCalendar</code>) from how the expiry date is calculated for the suspension through a new system preference: <code>SuspensionsCalendar</code>, that has the exact same options but only applies to suspensions. On upgrade, the new preference is populated with the value from <code>finesCalendar</code>, thus respecting the current configuration.</p>
