1 Evergreen 3.3 Release Notes
2 ===========================
17 Include Item Status in marc_export Items Export
18 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
19 The marc_export program now includes the item status in the 852 subfield s when exporting items.
21 Ability to Reingest Certain Record Attributes In pingest.pl
22 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
23 An option, `--attr`, has been added to the `pingest.pl` support script
24 that allows the user to specify which record attributes to reingest.
25 This option is used to specify which record attribute(s) to reingest.
26 It can be used one or more times to specify one or more attributes to
27 ingest. It can be omitted to reingest all record attributes. This
28 option is ignored if the `--skip-attrs` option is used.
30 The `--attr` option is most useful after doing something specific that
31 requires only a partial ingest of records. For instance, if you add a
32 new language to the `config.coded_value_map` table, you will want to
33 reingest the `item_lang` attribute on all of your records. The
34 following command line will do that, and only that, ingest:
37 $ /openils/bin/pingest.pl --skip-browse --skip-search --skip-facets \
38 --skip-display --attr=item_lang
46 Database Support for PostgreSQL 10
47 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
48 The Evergreen database can now be built with PostgreSQL version 10.
50 This update has implications for developers who write PgTap tests. In
51 versions of PostgreSQL prior to 10, one could write `\set ECHO` to
52 disable the echoing of commands as they were run. In PostgreSQL
53 version 10, using `\set` without a value is an error. One should now
54 write `\set ECHO none` in order to disable the echoing of commands.
55 This latter form works in all versions of PostgreSQL currently
56 supported by Evergreen.
60 If you upgrade your database from a PostgreSQL version of 9.5, or
61 lower, to PostgreSQL versions 9.6 or 10, you will need to recreate 3
62 indexes in additon to the normal database upgrade steps. The index
63 recreation is necessary because of changes to the PostgreSQL
64 `unaccent` extension module.
66 The following snippet of SQL code will do the necessary steps:
69 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
70 DROP INDEX actor_usr_first_given_name_unaccent_idx;
71 DROP INDEX actor_usr_second_given_name_unaccent_idx;
72 DROP INDEX actor_usr_family_name_unaccent_idx;
73 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_first_given_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
74 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(first_given_name));
75 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_second_given_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
76 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(second_given_name));
77 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_family_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
78 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(family_name));
79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
82 Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
83 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
84 Evergreen can now be installed on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver. To
85 install the prerequisites, use ubuntu-bionic as the Makefile.install
88 This update also fixes a Perl warning in the HoldNotify module that is
89 an error in the version of Perl (5.26) that is installed on Ubuntu
98 MARC Import/Export Interface Update (Angular Port)
99 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
100 This MARC Import/Export (AKA Vandelay) interface is now built on
101 Angular(6) instead of Dojo. The functionality is consistent with the
102 previous version of the interface, with minor UI adjustments to match
103 the Angular style, plus one new interface called 'Recent Imports'
107 Users may now saves sets of import attributes from the MARC import form as
108 named templates. Users may select a default template, applied on page load
109 by default, and users may delete existing templates.
113 This is a new interface which allows users to see active and recent
114 Vandelay sesssions originating from the same workstation or logged in
115 user account. Active sessions include real-time progress information so
116 the user may track the progress without refreshing the page.
118 This interface makes it possible to exit the main import tab or the
119 Vandelay interface altogether and return at a later time to check on
120 import progress. It also allows users to kick-off multiple imports at
121 the same time and follow the status of each in one interace.
128 Patron Parent/Guardian Field
129 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
130 Patrons now have a new dedicated parent/guardian field. This field is
131 editable in the patron edit interface, displays in the patron
132 summary side bar on the browser client, and is search-able from the
133 patron search interface in the browser client.
137 In addition to the standard "show" and "suggest" visibility settings,
138 the new guardian field comes with a library setting
139 'ui.patron.edit.guardian_required_for_juv' ("GUI: Juvenile account
140 requires parent/guardian"). When this setting is applied, a value
141 will be required in the patron editor when the juvenile flag is active.
145 Sites who traditionally store parent/guardian information in the
146 patron 'Secondary Identification' field can migrate values from this
147 field to the new guardian field with the following SQL:
150 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
153 -- 1. Find the local ID of the parent/guardian identification type
155 SELECT * FROM config.identification_type;
157 -- 2. On my test system, the id is "101". It will vary!.
158 -- Migrate the value from the ident2 field to the guardian field.
161 SET guardian = ident_value2
163 ident_type2 = 101 -- !! CHANGE TO SUIT
164 AND ident_value2 IS NOT NULL
165 AND ident_value2 <> '';
167 -- 3. delete the original secondary identification data
170 SET ident_value2 = NULL, ident_type2 = NULL
172 ident_type2 = 101; -- !! CHANGE TO SUIT
175 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
178 Allow Others to Use My Account (Privacy Waiver)
179 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
180 Patrons who wish to authorize other people to use their account may
181 now do so via My Account. In the Search and History Preferences tab
182 under Account Preferences, a new section labeled "Allow others to use
183 my account" allows patrons to enter a name and indicate that the
184 specified person is allowed to place holds, pickup holds, view
185 borrowing history, or check out items on their account. This
186 information is displayed to circulation staff in the patron account
187 summary in the web client. (Staff may also add, edit, and remove
188 entries via the patron editor.)
190 A new library setting, "Allow others to use patron account (privacy
191 waiver)," is used to enable or disable this feature.
198 Booking Administration Moved To Angular
199 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
200 The Administration => Booking Administration pages have been ported to
201 Angular using the new Angular grids. Entry points from both AngularJS
202 and Angular apps point to the new interfaces.
204 Option to Enable Experimental Angular Staff Catalog
205 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
206 A new org unit setting labeled 'GUI: Enable Experimental Angular
207 Staff Catalog' (ui.staff.angular_catalog.enabled) has been added, allowing
208 sites to enable a menu option in the browser client for accessing
209 the experimental Angular staff catalog.
211 When set to true, a new entry in the navigation bar appears in the
212 Cataloging menu labled "Staff Catalog (Experimental)".
214 New Features (Since 3.2)
215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++
217 * Copy location filter
218 * Group formats and editions
223 * Record baskets and actions
224 * Record detail tabs/actions point to AngularJS versions where needed.
225 * Record detail View In Catalog button
232 View upcoming booking reservations in the OPAC
233 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
234 A new tab in the My Account section of the OPAC shows
235 patrons information about reservations on their account.
236 Here, patrons can check on upcoming reservations, as
237 well as reservations they currently have checked out.
239 Note: this interface pulls its timezone from the Library
240 Settings Editor. Make sure that you have a timezone
241 listed for your library in the Library Settings Editor
242 before using this feature.
244 Display UPC as Option for Public Catalog Advanced Search
245 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
246 The Numeric Search tab of the public catalog Advanced Search
247 now includes an option to search by UPC (Universal Product Code).
