1 Evergreen 2.10 Release Notes
2 ============================
9 * Support for PostgreSQL 9.1 is deprecated as of
10 the release of Evergreen 2.10. Users are recommended
11 to install Evergreen on PostgreSQL 9.2 or later.
12 * In the next major release following 2.10, Evergreen will no
13 longer officially support PostgreSQL 9.1.
14 * Please read the release notes thoroughly for information
15 about changes that Evergreen administrators may need
16 to make manually when upgrading to 2.10. In particular,
17 the enhancement to user password storage introduces a
18 new service, `open-ils.auth_internal`, and requires
19 changes to `opensrf.xml` in order for users to be able
32 PO Line item "paid" label
33 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
34 A new "paid" label appears along the bottom of each line item in the PO
35 display when every non-canceled copy on the line item has been invoiced.
40 Disencumber funds on invoice close
41 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
43 Fund debits linked to an invoice are now marked as paid (encumbrance=false)
44 when the invoice is marked as closed/complete instead of at invoice create
45 time. This is particularly useful for EDI invoices which may be
46 created well in advance of receipt and payment.
52 PO actions selector always visible
53 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
55 The actions selector is now always visible in the purchase order view,
56 even when no line items exist. With this, users can print PO's that
57 only contain direct charges.
59 The custom "Add Brief Record" button is no longer present, since the
60 same action is accessible via the now-visible selector.
70 Set application name when connecting to database
71 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
72 The services that connect directly to the PostgreSQL database
73 (and Clark Kent) now look for an application_name parameter
74 as part of the database login credentials specified in
75 `opensrf.xml`. If present, the value is used to set the
76 application name Pg connection value; this in turn shows up in
77 the Postgres `pg_stat_activity` table and Pg's logs.
82 Credit card receipts and privacy
83 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
85 To improve privacy and security, Evergreen now stores less data
86 about credit card transactions. The following fields are no
95 NOTE: All existing data within these fields will be deleted during
96 the upgrade. Reports using this data will no longer function.
98 Additionally, a tool has been added to Evergreen for clearing the
99 last 4 digits of the credit payment from the database after payments
102 Print/email templates
103 +++++++++++++++++++++
105 The stock print and email payment templates have been modified to no
106 longer use these fields, but only when the existing templates matched
107 the stock templates. If local changes have been applied, it will
108 be necessary to modify local templates to avoid referencing these
109 fields which no longer exist.
111 Any templates whose hook is "money.format.payment_receipt.print" or
112 "money.format.payment_receipt.email" may need modification. In stock
113 Evergreen, these are templates:
115 1. "money.payment_receipt.email" (stock id 29)
116 2. "money.payment_receipt.print" (stock id 30)
121 ---------------------------------------------
122 - [% CASE "credit_card_payment" %]credit card (
123 - [%- SET cc_chunks = mp.credit_card_payment.cc_number.replace(' ','').chunk(4); -%]
124 - [%- cc_chunks.slice(0, -1+cc_chunks.max).join.replace('\S','X') -%]
125 - [% cc_chunks.last -%]
126 - exp [% mp.credit_card_payment.expire_month %]/[% mp.credit_card_payment.expire_year -%]
128 + [% CASE "credit_card_payment" %]credit card
129 + [%- IF mp.credit_card_payment.cc_number %] ([% mp.credit_card_payment.cc_number %])[% END %]
130 ---------------------------------------------
132 Clearing the last 4 of the CC number
133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
135 To active automatic CC number clearing, add the following to opensrf's
136 crontab. Change timing to suit.
139 ---------------------------------------------
140 5 4 * * * . ~/.bashrc && $EG_BIN_DIR/clear_cc_number.srfsh
141 ---------------------------------------------
143 The default retention age is 1 year, but this can be changed by modifying
144 `clear_cc_number.srfsh` (typically found in `/openils/bin/`). Replace "1 year"
145 with the age of your choice.
152 Configure multiple telephony servers via action/trigger
153 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
154 If you are using the AstCall action/trigger reactor
155 to generate callfiles to send to an Asterisk server, until
156 now the only place to specify the relevant configuration
157 was in `opensrf.xml`. However, this restricted an Evergreen
158 consortium to using only one Asterisk instance.
160 Now, the telephony parameters can also be specified as
161 A/T event parameters, allowing per-library configuration.
163 .Telephony parameters
165 | Name | Example value
174 | ["Zap/1", "Zap/2", "IAX/user:secret@widgets.biz"]
189 | ["MaxRetries: 3", "RetryTime: 60", "WaitTime: 30", "Archive: 1", "Extension: 10"]
195 Juvenile-to-adult batch script honors library setting
196 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
198 The batch `juv_to_adult.srfsh` script that, when set up as a cronjob,
199 is responsible for toggling a patron from juvenile to adult now
200 honors the age value set in the library setting named "Juvenile Age
201 Threshold" (`global.juvenile_age_threshold`). When no library setting value
202 is present at a given patron's home library, the value passed in to the
203 script will be used as a default.
208 New reporting source for hold/copy ratios
209 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
210 A new reporting source is added, "Hold/Copy Ratio per Bib
211 and Pickup Library (and Descendants)", that, for each bib
212 that has a hold request on it or any of its components,
213 calculates the following:
215 * active holds at each OU (including the OU's descendants)
216 * holdable copies at each OU (and its descendants)
217 * the ratio of the above two counts
218 * counts and ratio across the entire consortium
220 This source differs from the "Hold/Copy Ratio per Bib
221 and Pickup Library" source by including all descendants
222 of the organization unit one is filtering on.
224 One use case is allowing a multi-branch system within an
225 Evergreen consortium that doesn't do full resource sharing
226 to readily calculate whether additional copies should be
227 purchased for that system.
232 New patron action/trigger notice
233 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
235 A new action/trigger event definition ("New User Created Welcome Notice")
236 has been added that will allow you to send a notice after a new patron has
237 been created, based on the actor.usr create-date field.
239 This notice can be used for various tasks.
241 * Sending a welcome email to new patrons to market Library services.
242 * Confirm that a new patron email address is correct.
243 * Generate postal notices to send a welcome packet to new patrons.
245 Enable this event in the staff client at *Admin* -> *Local Administration*
246 -> *Notifications / Action Triggers*.
251 Improved password management and authentication
252 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
253 Evergreen user passwords are now stored with additional layers of
254 encryption and may only be accessed directly by the database, not
255 the application layer.
257 All API changes are backwards compatible with existing 3rd-party
263 Passwords are migrated for each user automatically the first time a user
264 logs in under the new setup. However, it is also possible to force
265 password migration for a given user via a database function:
268 ------------------------------------------------------------
269 -- actor.migrate_passwd() will only migrate un-migrated
270 -- accounts, but it's faster to avoid any re-migration attempts.
271 SELECT actor.migrate_passwd(au.id)
273 LEFT JOIN actor.passwd pw ON (pw.usr = au.id)
274 WHERE pw.usr IS NULL;
275 ------------------------------------------------------------
277 Using this, admins could perform manual batch updates to force all
278 users to use the new, more secure passwords, regardless of when or
279 whether a patron logs back into the system.
281 Beware that doing this for all users in the a large database will
282 take some time and should probably be performed in batches.
284 open-ils.auth_internal
285 ++++++++++++++++++++++
286 To support the new storage mechanism, a new Evergreen service has
287 been added called `open-ils.auth_internal`. This service runs on
288 the private OpenSRF/XMPP domain and is used to store authenticated
289 user data in the authentication cache.
291 This is a required service and changes to `opensrf.xml` (typically
292 `/openils/conf/opensrf.xml`) are needed to run the new service.
294 .Modifying opensrf.xml
295 * A new `<open-ils.auth_internal>` app stanza is added to define the
297 * Cache timeout settings are moved from the app stanza for `open-ils.auth`
298 into `open-ils.auth_internal`
299 * `open-ils.auth_internal` is added to the set of running services for the

374 Sortable HTML reports
375 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
376 HTML reports can now be sorted by clicking on the header for a given column.
377 Clicking on the header toggles between sorting the column in ascending and
378 descending order. Note that sorting is available only when there are
379 at most 10,000 rows of output.
389 Additional fixed fields
390 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
391 The AccM, Comp, CrTp, EntW, Cont, FMus, LTxt, Orig, Part, Proj, Relf, SpFm,
392 SrTp, Tech, and TrAr fixed fields have been defined and coded value maps added
393 so they can also be used for Advanced Searches or adding to Composite Value Maps.
395 Note that AccM, Cont, LTxt, Relf, and SpFm are compositite values based on
396 the values of "helper" fields like AccM(1), AccM(2), and so on. These positional
397 fields can be ignored.
399 Coded value maps have also been added for Cont, Ctry, and DtSt, and the Time field
400 has been defined. All of these fields are now available in the Fixed Field Editor
401 when editing the appropriate records.
406 Quickly export non-imported records
407 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
408 When inspecting a queue in MARC Batch Import/Export, there is now
409 a link to download to MARC file any records in the queue that were
410 not imported into the catalog. This allows catalogers to quickly
411 manipulate the records that failed to import using an external
412 tool, then attempt to import then again.
417 Link personal name/title series added entries
418 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
419 The authority linker script now supports linking the MARC21
420 field 800 (series added entry - personal name) to authority
426 MARC stream importer authority records and repairs
427 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
429 The MARC stream importer script, commonly used with external
430 services like OCLC Connexion, is now capable of importing authority
431 records in addition to bib records. A single running instance of
432 the script can import either type of record, based on the record
438 * --auth-merge-profile
440 * --bib-import-no-match
441 * --bib-auto-overlay-exact
442 * --bib-auto-overlay-1match
443 * --bib-auto-overlay-best-match
444 * --auth-import-no-match
445 * --auth-auto-overlay-exact
446 * --auth-auto-overlay-1match
447 * --auth-auto-overlay-best-match
452 The following options still work and map to the "bib" equivalent
453 of the option, however a deprecation warning message is generated
454 when the script is started.
457 * --auto-overlay-exact
458 * --auto-overlay-1match
459 * --auto-overlay-best-match
461 No longer supported options
462 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
464 --import-by-queue is no longer supported. This option serves no
465 particular purpose and is a bad idea when re-using the same queue over
466 and over as most people do, because queue bloat will increase run times.
468 --noqueue (AKA "direct import") is no longer supported. All imports go
469 through Vandelay now.
480 Alternate parts selection display when placing holds
481 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
482 Users often miss the list of parts on the Place Holds screen, leading to many
483 title-level holds on records where only one or two libraries may have
486 A new option is available to change this display so that a part is selected
487 via radio buttons instead of the traditional dropdown menu. This display
488 increases the visibility of parts on the Place Holds screen and also
489 forces users to make an explicit choice.
491 To enable the alternate display, set the enable.radio.parts option to 'true'
497 Web staff client patron editor
498 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
499 The web staff interface now includes a patron editor/registration form
500 that is written using AngularJS, leading to faster and more responsive
501 patron editing. This feature is currently available in preview mode, but
502 supports the following actions:
504 * adding and editing base patron records and addresses
505 * setting statistical categories
506 * editing secondary groups
507 * cloning patron records
508 * duplicate detection
514 ==== Non-active status copy transit message ====
516 After copy checkin, if the copy is in-transit, display a special
517 message in the transit alert dialog and in the printed transit receipt
518 (optionally, via macro) if the copy is in (or, rather, will be once it
519 arrives at its destination) a non-active copy status.
521 ===== Upgrade notes =====
523 * To add the new message to the transit slip, add the
524 'transit_copy_status_msg' MACRO.
525 * To remove the new message from the alert dialog, remove the
526 'staff.circ.utils.transit.copy_status_message' string property
527 from 'Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/server/locale/LOCALE/circ.properties'
528 * For a list of non-active copy statuses, see in the staff client
529 under Admin -> Server Administration -> Copy Statuses.
535 Selectively disallow opt-in based on patron's home library
536 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
537 A new library setting has been added which enables a library to prevent their
538 patrons from being opted in at other libraries.
540 For example, consider the following org unit hierarchy:
554 Suppose that SYS1 wishes to prevent its patrons from being opted in at SYS2.
555 To accomplish this, it sets the value of the "Restrict patron opt-in to home
556 library and related orgs at specified depth" setting to 1, meaning that patrons
557 at SYS1 libraries at or below that depth in the org tree cannot be opted in by
558 libraries outside that part of the org tree. Thus, BR1 patrons can be opted in
559 at BR2, but not at BR3 or BR4.
561 (This setting is distinct from the "Patron Opt-In Boundary" setting, which
562 merely determines the depth at which Evergreen prompts for the patron to opt
567 * Restrict patron opt-in to home library and related orgs at specified depth (`org.restrict_opt_to_depth`)
572 Standing penalty ignore proximity
573 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
575 Standing penalties now have an `ignore_proximity` field that takes an
576 integer value. When set, the value of this field represents the
577 proximity from the user's home organizational unit where this penalty
578 will be ignored for purposes of circulation and holds. Typical values
579 for this field would be 0, 1, or 2 when using a standard hierarchy of
580 Consortium -> System -> Branch -> Sublibrary/Bookmoblie. A value of 1
581 would cause the penalty to be ignored at the user's home organization
582 unit, it's parent and/or immediate child. A value of 2 should cause
583 it to be ignored at the above as well as all sibling organizational
584 units to the user's home. In all cases, a value of zero causes the
585 penalty to be ignored at the user's home and to apply at all other
586 organizational units. If the value of this field is left unset (or
587 set to a negative value), the penalty will still take effect
588 everywhere using the normal organizational unit and depth values. If
589 you use a custom hierarchy, you will need to figure out any values
590 greater than 0 on your own.
592 The `ignore_proximity` does not affect where penalties are applied. It
593 is used when determining whether or not a penalty blocks an activity
594 at the current organizational unit or the organizational unit that
595 owns the copy involved in the current transaction. For instance, if
596 you set the `ignore_proximity` to 0 on patron exceeds overdue fines,
597 then the patron will still be able to place holds on and checkout
598 copies owned by their home organizational unit at their home
599 organizational unit. They will not, however, be able to receive
600 copies from other organizational units, nor use other organizational
606 Patron checkout history stored in a dedicated table
607 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
609 Patron checkout history is now stored in separate, dedicated database
610 table instead of being derived from the main circulation data. This
611 allows us to age/anonymize circulations more aggressively, since they
612 no longer need to stick around in cases where they represent a patron's
613 opt-in checkout history.
615 This has a number of patron privacy implications.
617 * Minimal metadata is stored in the new patron checkout history table,
618 so once the corresponding circulation is aged, the full set of
619 circulation metadata is no longer linked to a patron's reading history.
620 ** It is limited to checkout date, due date, checkin date, and copy data.
621 * Staff can no longer report on a patron's reading history.
622 ** While it is possible to build aggregate reports on reading history
623 data, it is not possible to report on which user an entry in the
624 history table belongs to. (The 'usr' column is hidden from the
626 * Staff can no longer retrieve a patron's reading history via API. Only
627 the user that owns the history data can access it.
628 * Though not implemented as part of this change, it will now be possible
629 with future development to truly remove specific items from a patron's
641 Holds count column picker option
642 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
643 A new column picker option showing the number of holds for a given item will
644 now be available in various interfaces displaying item information, including
645 the patron's Items Out tab and the Item Status, Check Out, Check In, Renew
646 Item and Record In-House Use screens.
648 Note: Because the holds count is generated from the hold_copy_map, newly-added
649 items and items in a non-holdable status will not display accurate hold counts
650 until 24 hours after they have been added to the system or moved to a holdable
661 Removal of unused methods
662 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
663 The following public methods, which were both broken and not in use,
666 * `open-ils.actor.org_unit.closed_date.create`
667 * `open-ils.actor.org_unit.closed_date.delete`
677 Patron history disable warning
678 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
680 When disabling checkout and/or holds history in the public catalog's
681 Search and History Preferences tab, patrons will be warned that the
682 operation is irreversible when history data exists that will be
683 deleted as part of the update.
688 Administrators should verify the CSV export of checkout history works after
689 deploying this change. If local changes were made to the CSV template,
690 the template will not be updated as part of this deployment. The stock
691 template was modified to handle gracefully NULL values for checkin_time.

706 Include parts label when sorting copies in the public catalog
707 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
708 The list of copies on the record details page now includes
709 the part label in the default sort order.
711 Specifically, copies are now sorted by (in order), org unit, then
712 call number, then part label sortkey, then copy number, and
715 Previously, the hierarchy was org unit, then call number,
716 then copy number, and finally barcode
721 Search scope depth selection
722 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
723 A common usage of the catalog is to do a search in a restricted scope,
724 like a local library. When the results are lacking, the search is repeated in a
725 consortium-wide scope. This feature provides an optional button and checkbox
726 to alter the depth of the search to a defined level.
728 This feature can be turned off from config.tt2.
734 Limiter to exclude electronic resources
735 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
736 A limiter to exclude electronic resources from search results is now available
737 on the advanced search screen and from the search results page. This limiter
738 will exclude any search results with an item form of o or s. This limiter
739 will be applied on top of any other format limiters used in the search.
741 The checkboxes are disabled by default; to display them in both places, please
742 toggle the 'ctx.exclude_electronic_checkbox' setting in config.tt2.
749 Evergreen's unAPI support now includes access to many more
750 record types. For example, the following URL would fetch
751 bib 267 in MODS32 along with holdings, volume, copy,
752 and record attribute information:
754 https://example.org/opac/extras/unapi?id=tag::U2@bre/267{holdings_xml,acn,acp,mra}&format=mods32
756 To access the new unAPI features, the unAPI ID should have the
760 * followed by class name, which may be
762 * +biblio_record_entry_feed+ (multiple bibs)
763 * +acl+ (copy locations)
765 * +acnp+ (call number prefixes)
766 * +acns+ (call number suffixes)
768 * +acpn+ (copy notes)
770 * +ascecm+ (copy stat cat entries)
771 * +auri+ (located URIs)
772 * +bmp+ (monographic parts)
773 * +cbs+ (bib sources)
774 * +ccs+ (copy statuses)
775 * +circ+ (loan checkout and due dates)
776 * +holdings_xml+ (holdings)
777 * +mmr+ (metarecords)
778 * +mmr_holdings_xml+ (metarecords with holdings)
779 * +mmr_mra+ (metarecords with record attributes)
780 * +mra+ (record attributes)
781 * +sbsum+ (serial basic summaries)
782 * +sdist+ (serial distributions)
783 * +siss+ (serial issues)
784 * +sisum+ (serial index summaries)
785 * +sitem+ (serial items)
786 * +sssum+ (serial supplement summaries)
787 * +sstr+ (serial streams)
788 * +ssub+ (serial subscriptions)
789 * +sunit+ (serial units)
791 * followed by a record identifier (or in the case of
792 the +biblio_record_entry_feed+ class, multiple IDs separated
794 * followed, optionally, by limit and offset in square brackets
795 * followed, optionally, by a comma-separated list of "includes"
796 enclosed in curly brackets. The list list of includes is
797 the same as the list of classes with the following addition:
798 * +bre.extern+ (information from the non-MARC parts of a bib
800 * followed, optionally, by +/+ and org unit; "-" signifies
801 the top of the org unit tree
802 * followed, optionally, by +/+ and org unit depth
803 * followed, optionally, by +/+ and a path. If the path
804 is +barcode+ and the class is +acp+, the record ID is taken
805 to be a copy barcode rather than a copy ID; for example, in
806 +tag::U2@acp/ACQ140{acn,bre,mra}/-/0/barcode+, +ACQ140+ is
807 meant to be a copy barcode.
808 * followed, optionally, by +&format=+ and the format in which the record
809 should be retrieved. If this part is omitted, the list of available
810 formats will be retrieved.
815 New form/genre search and facet index
816 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
817 The stock indexing definitions now include a search and facet index on the
818 form/genre field (tag 655). This allows genre links in the public catalog
819 record display to retrieve works in the same genre. The public catalog genre
820 links will no longer display content from the 659 MARC fields.
822 The genre facet will also display by default in the public catalog. A partial
823 reingest during upgrade is required to use this index.
828 Limit number of facets retrieved during search
829 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
830 Catalog search now sets a limit on the number of facets retrieved
831 per defined facet field. Setting a limit is useful so that
832 `open-ils.cstore backends don't end up needlessly consuming
833 memory when fetching facets for a large result set; if a broad
834 search retrieves over 10,000 author facets (say), even the most
835 persistant user is not going to actually look at all of them. Fetching
836 fewer facets can also slightly speed up generation of search results.
838 The limit is controlled by a new global flag, `search.max_facets_per_field`,
839 whose label is "Search: maximum number of facet values to retrieve for
840 each facet field". The default limit value is 1,000, but lower values
841 (e.g., 100) are perhaps even better for most catalogs.
846 * Copy records in the "Concerto" test data set now have prices.
847 * The web-based self-check interface now displays the patron
848 information area only when a patron is logged in.
849 * The progress page displayed by MARC Batch Edit is improved.
850 * The public catalog now better handles the situation where
851 a patron who does not have an email address registered in
852 Evergreen tries to email a record.
