• Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité permet à la bibliothèque d'ajouter des documents à une commande via une nouvelle fonction «Rechercher pour commander» accessible depuis le panier de commande. La commande peut alors être créée soit directement à partir de la liste de résultats, soit des pages de détail du catalogue.
• Cela remplace l'ancienne fonctionnalité de recherche de documents existants dans le module d'acquisitions et permet d'utiliser toutes les fonctionnalités de recherche et les informations affichées dans le catalogue normal.
• Le lien Ajouter ligne de commande est désormais visible sur la liste de résultats d'une recherche catalogue, et sur la notice détaillée (bouton).

• Une fois active, cette fonctionnalité permet de définir des postes de circulation par bibliothèque. Des développements futurs sont prévus pour permettre d'associer un lieu de retrait de réservation à ces postes, et d'autres fonctionnalités.

Nouvelle préférence système : UseCirculationDesks

• Une fois la préférence système activée, le menu Postes de circulation apparaît dans Administration / Adhérents et Circulation, permettant de créer de nouveaux postes.

Dans le module Circulation / Choisir site et poste, le professionnel peut choisir son site de connexion et son poste de circulation :

• Avec des événements qui conduisent à des fermetures imprévues des bibliothèques (Coronavirus par exemple), ce nouvel outil permet de mettre à jour les dates de retour par lots, en se basant sur la bibliothèque et la date de retour actuelle des documents en prêt.
• L'accès nécessite une nouvelle permission batch_extend_due_dates.
• Accès via Outils / Modification par lot des dates de retour

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité ajoute une fonctionnalité de point de vente à Koha.

• Lorsqu'elle est activée, un nouvel écran "Point de vente" est disponible à partir de la page d'accueil de l'interface professionnelle.
• À partir de cet écran, on peut construire une transaction composée de divers éléments définis dans la zone d’administration des types de débit, puis traiter la transaction de manière anonyme en effectuant une "vente" à l’utilisateur final.
• Le type de paiement, la caisse et l'identifiant du personnel connecté sont tous enregistrés à des fins d’audit ultérieur.

Nouvelle préférence système: EnablePointOfSale La préférence système UseCashRegisters doit être activée.

Sur la page d'accueil de Koha :

Il doit y avoir au moins un élément défini dans les types de débit, pouvant être facturé manuellement, et pouvant être vendu (case à cocher)

Ceci permet d'effectuer des ventes à des utilisateurs non adhérents.

La page Détail des enregistrements affiche le détail des transactions depuis le dernier état de caisse.

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité complète la nouvelle page "Point de vente" introduite dans le BZ 23354 en ajoutant une page pour afficher les transactions historiques qui ont eu lieu sur la caisse sélectionnée depuis le dernier événement "état de caisse".

On peut enregistrer un "état de caisse" à partir de cette page en comparant les valeurs récapitulatives affichées sur la page aux montants réels trouvés dans la caisse enregistreuse, puis en cliquant sur le bouton "Etat de caisse (cashup)" pour enregistrer que ce processus a eu lieu.

La page est accessible à partir de la page Point de vente / Details pour la bibliothèque.

Cette amélioration ajoute un processus qui permet au personnel disposant de la nouvelle permission 'refund' de recréditer / rembourser les clients lorsqu'ils ont été facturés à tort pour une transaction. Il enregistre une ligne permettant de garder trace du processus.

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité ajoute un processus tracé pour payer aux adhérents le crédit existant sur leur compte.

Un nouveau bouton "Issue payout" (Remboursement) est présent sur les lignes de compte de l'onglet Transactions du compte adhérent en cas de crédit, permettant de rendre l'argent à l'adhérent, en conservant la trace de cette transaction.

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité, lorsqu'elle est activée, ajoute la possibilité pour la bibliothèque de prêter immédiatement un exemplaire reçu en PEB à l'usager qui l'a demandé.

Le prêt est immédiat et la date d'échéance est fixée, soit comme une date fixe saisie par le bibliothécaire, soit sur la base des règles de circulation.

Nouvelle préférence système : CirculateILL

Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité permet aux adhérents (authentifiés) de reporter des problèmes lors de leur utilisation de l'OPAC.

Elle ajoute un lien à chaque page de l'OPAC vers un formulaire où les adhérents peuvent reporter les problèmes. Les problèmes sont ensuite visibles sur l'interface professionnelle, via une alerte sur la page d'accueil, et via la nouvelle page de gestion Outils / Liste des problèmes OPAC.

Nouvelle préférence système: OPACReportProblem

Ce patch permet de rechercher les plugins publics depuis Koha via une boîte de recherche en haut de la page de gestion des plugins.

On peut rechercher des plugins et les installer directement depuis le code source.

ATTENTION : Les plugins ne sont pas vérifiés par la communauté, vous les utilisez à vos propres risques. La fonctionnalité est désactivée par défaut ; pour l'activer, un administrateur doit décommenter les lignes correspondantes, ou ajouter de nouvelles lignes, au niveau du bloc plugin_repos dans le fichier de configuration koha-conf.xml.

C'est une interface pour parcourir les notices de façon rapide et efficace avec Elasticsearch.

Elle présente une page /cgi-bin/koha/opac-browse.pl qui vous permet de commencer à saisir un auteur, titre ou sujet et donne la liste des expressions commençant par le texte saisi. Il est possible de choisir dans la liste ce qui vous intéresse. Sélectionner une entrée renvoie la liste de résultats correspondants.

Nouvelle préférence système : OpacBrowseSearch

Ce développement ajoute la prise en charge de la définition de l'en-tête Access-Control-Allow-Origin dans Koha à l'aide de la nouvelle préférence système AccessControlAllowOrigin. Ceci est particulièrement utile pour intégrer les données des services fournis par Koha sur des sites autres que Koha lui-même.

Nouvelle préférence système: AccessControlAllowOrigin vide par défaut

Ceci ajoute la note interne, le numéro de commande et l'ISBN au tableau des commandes en retard. Les notes sont modifiables directement depuis le tableau via une boîte de dialogue.

Cette amélioration ajoute la possibilité de créer une nouvelle suggestion d'achat à partir d'une notice existant au catalogue.

Cette amélioration du processus de suggestions ajoute un avertissement pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence d'un document qui pourrait satisfaire la suggestion qu'il est sur le point de soumettre.

Cette amélioration permet à la bibliothèque de limiter le nombre de suggestions d'achat qu'un utilisateur peut soumettre au cours d'une période donnée.

Nouvelles préférences système : MaxTotalSuggestions vide par défaut (pas de limite) et NumberOfSuggestionDays vide par défaut (désactivé).

Cette amélioration du processus de suggestions ajoute un moyen d'archiver les suggestions d'achat terminées.

Cette amélioration du processus de suggestions d'achat ajoute la possibilité de modifier le gestionnaire d'une suggestion.

Lors de l'attribution d'une suggestion à un nouveau responsable, le nouvel avis NOTIFY_MANAGER sera envoyé au responsable pour l'alerter.

Pour suivre les différentes modifications, 2 nouvelles colonnes sont ajoutées au tableau des suggestions: lastmodificationby et lastmodificationdate, qui seront mises à jour automatiquement lors de l'édition d'une suggestion.

Cette amélioration ajoute un nouvel onglet "Détails de la suggestion" sur l'affichage détaillé de la notice bibliographique.

    Cette amélioration permet aux utilisateurs de mettre à jour les types de document pour les suggestions sélectionnées sur la page de gestion des suggestions.
    

Le champ "raison" de la suggestion est souvent utilisé pour communiquer des informations supplémentaires sur une suggestion entre l'adhérent qui fait la suggestion et le membre du personnel qui la gère.

Cette amélioration permet au personnel de mettre à jour le champ à la réception du document et ainsi d'informer l'adhérent de l'état actuel du nouveau document.

    Cette amélioration ajoute une liste déroulante de devises au champ de coût réel sur le  panneau des détails comptables au moment de la réception.
    

Cette amélioration ajoute la possibilité de suivre plusieurs dates de réclamation pour une commande en retard et expose ces informations via les commandes en retard et les pages de panier de commande.

    Affiche les informations de dates et rôles dans des colonnes séparées afin qu'elles puissent être triées facilement.
    

Un professionnel peut désormais réserver un document pour un adhérent.

Dans le cadre des efforts continus visant à simplifier et à améliorer le système de règles de circulation, la table issuingrules a été supprimée et remplacée par une nouvelle table circulation_rules.

Chaque rapport utilisant la table issuingrules devra être mis à jour pour utiliser la nouvelle structure.

Cette amélioration vous permet d'afficher la requête de recherche utilisée par Zebra ou Elasticsearch, pour aider au dépannage. Pour l'utiliser, activez la nouvelle préférence système DumpSearchQueryTemplate, activez DumpTemplateVarsIntranet et DumpTemplateVarsOpac, puis recherchez la source de la page dans l'interface pro ou OPAC pour «search_query».

Nouvelle préférence système: DumpSearchQueryTemplate désactivée par défaut.

Dans le code source, rechercher "search_query" jusqu'à voir :

Cette amélioration permet aux bibliothèques de désactiver l'OPAC mais d'autoriser l'activation des API publiques.

Nouvelle préférence système: RESTPublicAnonymousRequests activée par défaut

Cette amélioration ajoute deux nouvelles préférences de log AuthFailureLog et AuthSuccessLog afin de garder une trace des mauvaises tentatives de connexion et des réussites.

REMARQUE: dans certains pays, cela peut être une exigence en tant qu'application locale de la législation RGPD.

Nouvelles préférences système : AuthFailureLog et AuthSuccessLog désactivées par défaut

La préférence système itemcallnumber permet désormais de spécifier plusieurs champs à partir desquels Koha peut extraire une suggestion pour le itemcallnumber à utiliser lors de l'ajout d'exemplaires.

Par exemple, il est possible d'indiquer dans la préférence système : 676a,686a

• si le champ 676$a de la notice est rempli, le 676$a sera reporté dans la cote de l'exemplaire
• si le champ 676$a de la notice n'est pas rempli, mais que le 686$a l'est, c'est le 686$a qui sera reporté dans la cote de l'exemplaire

Cette fonction permet de changer l'ordre des champs et des sous-champs dans l'éditeur de catalogage en utilisant le glisser-déposer.

Cette fonctionnalité permet aux champs et sous-champs dans les grilles bibliographiques d'être marqués comme importants. L'attribut important déclenchera un message de confirmation lors de la sauvegarde de l'enregistrement, mais vous permettra de sauvegarder l'enregistrement sans remplir les champs.

Avec cette amélioration, il y a un nouveau menu «Modifier» dans la recherche catalogue qui permet «Modifier par lots», «Supprimer par lots» et «Fusionner» les enregistrements sélectionnés dans la liste de résultats. Ce menu s'active dès qu'au moins une notice est sélectionnée dans la liste de résultats.

Cette amélioration ajoute le sous-titre (toutes les parties) et la date de publication aux résultats qui apparaissent pour la recherche de l'éditeur marc avancé

Les espaces multiples seront maintenant mis en évidence en étant soulignés par une ligne tiret rouge dans l'éditeur marc avancé

Permet de configurer au niveau du type de document, si le calendrier sera pris en compte lors du calcul des frais de location horaires ou journaliers.

Avec l'ajout d'une nouvelle préférence système RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid, il est possible de renouveler automatiquement les exemplaires avec des amendes en cours lors du paiement de ces amendes.

Nouvelles préférences système : RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid et RenewAccruingItemInOpac désactivées par défaut.

Avec l'ajout du champ raison à la table branchtransfers, cela permet de suivre ce qui a déclenché un transfert, ce qui est utile à la fois pour un audit ultérieur et pour une utilisation ultérieure dans le code où nous pourrons avoir besoin d'annuler ou remplacer les transferts existants.

Ajoute la possibilité de spécifier un fichier avec l'option -file, qui doit être une liste de borrowernumber à supprimer.

Si cette option est utilisée sans autre option le script supprime la liste des adhérents, s'il y a d'autres options elle seront utilisées comme filtres sur la liste

Le script cleanup_database.pl inclut des options pour la suppression :

• entrées de la table statistics
• notices et exemplaires supprimés (deletedbiblio, deletedbiblioitems, deletedbiblio_metadata, deleteditems)
• adhérents supprimés (deleted_patrons)
• prêts rendus (old_issues)
• réservations remplies ou annulées (old_reserves)
• transferts terminés (branchtransfers)

Il est ainsi possible de supprimer automatiquement ces anciennes données après un certain temps.

Cette amélioration ajoute les options –enable et –disable à la commande koha-sip du paquet Debian.

Usage:

• koha-sip –enable instancename ⇒ Active le serveur Koha SIP
• koha-sip –disable instancename ⇒ Désactive et stoppe le serveur Koha SIP

Cet ensemble de patches ajoute de nouvelles options au script automatic_renewals.pl pour permettre les modes test et verbeux.

Important : les correctifs rendent l'option –confirm requise, sans quoi le script sera exécuté en mode test. Les tâches cron planifiées existantes devront être mises à jour pour fournir cette option.

Exécuter sans –confirm sera par défaut aussi en mode verbeux.

Améliore les performances sur script fines.pl en réduisant le nombre de lignes ciblées avec cette option –maxdays.

Durant le cycle 20.05 des améliorations ont été faites au mécanisme d'installation pour améliorer les mécanismes de traduction de cette partie. Plusieurs fichiers sql ont été déplacés dans des fichiers basés sur yaml.

Cette amélioration permet d'enlever des exemplaires présents dans une réserve de cours et en prêt. Auparavant, les éléments en prêt ne pouvaient pas être enlevés.

Avec cette amélioration, le montant des frais / crédits en attente sera affiché dans la description de l'onglet sur les pages de prêt et de détail d'un compte adhérent dans l'interface professionnelle. Lorsqu'il n'y a pas de frais en attente, l'onglet n'est pas visible.

Cela ajoute une nouvelle page de configuration pour les types de crédit dans le module d'administration.

Elle montre tous les types de crédits internes utilisés par Koha et permet de configurer des types de crédits supplémentaires.

Des types de crédit supplémentaires peuvent être utilisés pour les transactions anonymes avec la fonction Point de vente.

Permet de spécifier et d’appliquer une réduction sur les frais d’un usager. Le professionnel aura besoin de la nouvelle permission "remise" pour utiliser cette nouvelle fonctionnalité.

Cette amélioration permet aux bibliothèques de définir une option de calcul des amendes pour un retour antidaté, distinctement de l'option plus large consistant à toujours recalculer les amendes lors du retour.

Nouvelle préférence système : CalculateFinesOnBackdate

Cette amélioration ajoute une nouvelle page "Détails de la bibliothèque" au système de point de vente qui affiche un résumé des transactions de caisse pour une bibliothèque depuis le dernier état de caisse. Il permet également de faire l'état de caisse individuellement ou pour toutes les caisses d'une bibliothèque donnée en une seule opération.

Poser et remplir une réservation va créer des entrées dans les logs quand la préférence système HoldsLog est activée.

Pour rappel, les logs peuvent être consultés dans Outils/Visualiseur des logs

Cette fonctionnalité ajoute l'infrastructure requise pour permettre aux plugins de disponibilité PEB d'intercepter le processus de création de demande et, à l'aide des métadonnées fournies, de rechercher et d'afficher les éléments pertinents possibles à partir des plugins de disponibilité installés.

Nouvelle préférence système : ILLCheckAvailability

Cette amélioration de l'outil de création d'étiquettes ajoute une option pour vous permettre de générer une plage de numéros de codes-barres (par exemple, de 05000 à 05500) et de les enregistrer au format PDF, prêt pour l'impression.

Ces patches ajoutent les bases nécessaires pour utiliser une adresse de réponse si elle est transmise lors de l'appel d'EnqueueLetter. D'autres patches permettront d'ajouter des interfaces pour ajouter ces adresses.

L'heure à laquelle un message a été créé et l'heure à laquelle il a été envoyé sont désormais des colonnes distinctes dans la table message_queue et seront affichées dans le compte adhérent dans l'onglet notification.

Ceci ajoute un nouveau lien "Bibliothèque" ou "Bibliothèques" à la navigation à l'OPAC, qui affiche une nouvelle page donnant les informations sur la ou les bibliothèques, à partir des données saisies dans l'administration des sites ; un rebond sur le nom de la bibliothèque donne les informations détaillées correspondantes.

Cette amélioration ajoute une liste déroulante aux pages de résultats de recherche pro et OPAC, afin de choisir le nombre de résultats à afficher par page (20, 40, 60, 80, etc).

Ceci est activé par deux préférences système : OPACnumSearchResultsDropdown pour l'OPAC, et numSearchResultsDropdown pour l'interface professionnelle.

Le nombre de résultats par défaut est défini via les préférences système existantes OPACnumSearchResults et numSearchResults.

La fonctionnalité est opérationnelle pour Zebra et Elasticsearch.

Ceci ajoute une note sur le compte adhérent à l'OPAC si l'utilisateur dépasse le montant maximum des amendes et ne peut plus réserver.

Cette amélioration, lorsqu'elle est activée, oblige les utilisateurs qui se préinscrivent via l'OPAC à saisir manuellement leur adresse mail principale deux fois. Cela évite les erreurs de saisie du mail.

Nouvelle préférence système: PatronSelfRegistrationConfirmEmail désactivé par défaut.

Cette amélioration permet aux administrateurs de contrôler quels groupes de champs sont repliés par défaut sur le formulaire d'ajout adhérent.

Cliquer sur le nom du groupe de champ permet de les déplier / replier facilement

Nouvelle préférence système : CollapseFieldsPatronAddForm vide par défaut. Les zones à replier doivent êre cochées dans la sélection proposée au niveau de la préférence système

Cette amélioration permet aux administrateurs de configurer quels champs de la fiche du garant seront copiés vers la fiche du garanti lors du lien entre les fiches.

Nouvelle préférence système : PrefillGuaranteeField remplie par défaut avec les champs phone, email, streetnumber, address, city, state, zipcode, country.

Le développement permet aux adhérents de désactiver pour eux les renouvellements automatiques ; le cron de renouvellement automatique va ignorer ces prêts, les exemplaires seront toujours renouvelables manuellement.

Les adhérents peuvent positionner eux-même cette option, ainsi que les professionnels sur le compte adhérent.

Nouvelle préférence système : AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal désactivée par défaut

Cette amélioration à la recherche exemplaire professionnelle (Recherche > Recherche exemplaire) ajoute la possibilité d'exporter des exemplaires sélectionnés, et non plus uniquement tout le résultat de recherche

Il est possible de sélectionner plusieurs numéros à supprimer depuis la page Etat de collection dans le module périodiques.

Une case à cocher permet, en option, de supprimer les exemplaires liés.

    Private notes are now displayed in the staff interface.
    Notes:

Indicator 1 = private: These will not display in the OPAC. Indicator 1 = 0 or empty: These will display in the OPAC. The staff interface will display all 583s.

    Note: the previously documented but not implemented parameter names were changed:
      ◦ needed_before_date => start_date 
      ◦ pickup_expiry_date => expiry_date 

Technical highlights Some significant technical changes were made behind the scenes in this release and it was felt that they should be additionally highlighted in the notes as they could be easily missed above. Refactoring

  • C4::Members::Attributes has been moved to Koha::Patron::Attributes. 
      ◦ GetBorrowerAttributeValue has been replaced by Koha::Patron->get_extended_attribute_value 
      ◦ GetBorrowerAttributes has been replaced by Koha::Patron->get_extended_attributes 
      ◦ DeleteBorrowerAttribute has been replaced by Koha::Patron->get_extended_attribute->delete 
      ◦ UpdateBorrowerAttribute and SetBorrowerAttributes has been replaced by Koha::Patron->extended_attributes($attributes) 
      ◦ C4::Members::AttributeTypes::GetAttributeTypes has been replaced by Koha::Patron::Attribute::Types->filter_by_branch_limitations 
  • C4::Items CRUD subroutines have moved to Koha::Item 
      ◦ Pay special attention to Koha::Item->store, ->delete and ->safe_delete 
  • QueryParser has been completely removed from the codebase 
  • The issuingrules table has been completely removed in favour of using the new circulation_rules table. Please use Koha::CirculationRules now 
  • Dependancy management has been moved from the customer Koha code into a cpanfile 

Dev tools A number of developer tools and processes have been refined

  • misc/devel/update_dbix_class_files.pl now defaults to using koha-conf.xml so you are not required to always append parameters now to run the script 
  • The installer files are now translatable using the pootle process 
      ◦ A new YAML format has been migrated to for the installer files 
      ◦ A new command line script may be used to load the new yaml formatted installer files manually where required 
      ◦ Work is ongoing to migrate and remove the original .SQL files which are still supported during the period of the migration (bug 24897 is a good example of the process) 
      ◦ Work is underway to add a ‘localization’ process to the installer allowing for localization to be applied distinctly to translation 
  • Strings found inside JavaScript are now directly translatable
    Prior to bug 21156 a translatable string would have taken the form
        var my_string = _("my string"); # Within the .tt
        alert(my_string); # Within the .js
    Now we can simply use
        alert(__("my string"); # Note the double underscore
  • The database update script now outputs timestamps and skeleton.perl has an updated simplified syntax to follow 
  • Koha::Script added support for simple execution locking: fines.pl is a good example of how to utilise the new functionality 

Plugins support A number of improvements have been made to the plugins system to allows better discoverability and code interaction

  • One can configure the new `plugin_repos` config option to point to their github organisation to allow plugins to be discovered by end users in the koha staff client 
  • Additional hooks have been added in this release, please see the ‘Plugin architecture’ section above. 

API Enhancements The code that is used to implement the REST API has seen many relevant structural changes on this release. Several generic methods have been added to the Koha::Object(s) classes:

  • to_api [23770] [23843] 
  • new_from_api [23893] 
  • set_from_api [23893] 
  • attributes_from_api 
  • from_api_mapping 

They are designed to simplify DB ↔ API attribute name mapping. They allowed us to make our controllers thin and really simple to read and understand (and thus maintain). Tests become easier to write as well. One of the goals behind this move to Koha::Object-level, was that we intended to embed arbitrary data on the responses. So the attribute mapping responsibility (between the DB and our OpenAPI spec) was moved from the controllers to the Koha::Object(s) level (i.e. for an arbitrary object you can now ask for its API representation like in $patron→to_api). This ‘to_api’ method is designed to be passed parameters. Right now it only accepts the ’embed’ parameter which expects a hashref representing the recursive data structures we would like to embed in the object representation (see POD for more details). For example: my $api = $patron→to_api({ embed ⇒ { children ⇒ { checkouts ⇒ {} } } }) will make the resulting $api variable contain the representation of the Koha::Patron object, with the added ‘checkouts’ attribute, which will be the result of calling $patron→checkouts→to_api and so on (if more nested objects need to be included). [24228]. A special syntax has been added for requiring counts (for result sets). And there is a plan to add a ‘for_opac’ parameter so we know what kind of representation we need to generate. There’s been some discussion about having a ‘brief’ representation of objects as well, for some use cases but that’s an ongoing discussion. The API spec got its counter-part additions: an ‘x-koha-embed’ attribute that specifies what things are allowed to be requested for embedding on a route. A special syntax was added to request counts (for example, x-koha-embed: [ checkouts+count] will be interpreted as a request to get the count, and will be placed in an attribute called checkouts_count) [24302] [24321] [24528]. Now we are embedding things, it was natural to think we would like to:

  • automatically build DBIC queries that would prefetch the required tables [24356] 
  • filter by those nested objects in a WHERE condition [24487] 
  • order by those nested properties [24615] 

All the above features have been introduced as well. And the last bit, we introduced a ‘q’ parameter that allows building DBIC-ish queries on the resources we are fetching, as well as on the nested resources. [24487] [24502] New sysprefs

Special thanks from the release manager It has been a privilege and an honour to have served as the Release Manager for the past 12 months. I would like to extend my personal thanks to PTFS Europe for their support in allowing me to take on this role, my family for putting up with me running the late night meetings and finally I’d like to thank the team around me for doing such a great job. Katrin has been fantastic managing an excellent quality assurance team and it’s been brilliant having a close group of allies whom I could trust to get things done, experiment alongside me and work quickly on fixes when bugs inevitably happen. For this release, Tomas Cohen, Jonathan Druart and Mason James also deserve special mention for their diligent efforts in the last weeks of the cycle to ensure Debian packaging issues were resolved. We regret any omissions. If a contributor has been inadvertently missed, please send a patch against these release notes to koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org.
