Open Source OPAC

"Its finally here!

Nearly a year since the last release, we have a new stable release of koha.

The main new features in this version are:

  • Can search by dewey number
  • Keyword Searches can be restricted by a dewey number
  • Can restrict a catalogue search by a class of items
  • Simple acquisitions module
  • Deleting borrowers checks their accounts for reserves, current issues, and fines
  • New catalogue maintenance section
  • MARC importing from a file, and from z39.50

    Main Bugfixes:

  • Keyword searches are a lot faster
  • Combined author and title search is now also searching series title
  • Adding children and institutions works as advertised

    There have been numerous little fixes and a lot of code clean up.

    The structure of the tarball has changed to a more sensible layout, and the INSTALL document has been rewritten.

    There is also now a installer script, as well as a functioning database update script.

    All this should mean its the easiest Koha to install or upgrade yet."
