107 Migrating Parent/guardian information
108 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
109 Sites who traditionally store parent/guardian information in the
110 patron 'Secondary Identification' field can migrate values from this
111 field to the new guardian field with the following SQL:
114 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
117 -- 1. Find the local ID of the parent/guardian identification type
119 SELECT * FROM config.identification_type;
121 -- 2. On my test system, the id is "101". It will vary!.
122 -- Migrate the value from the ident2 field to the guardian field.
125 SET guardian = ident_value2
127 ident_type2 = 101 -- !! CHANGE TO SUIT
128 AND ident_value2 IS NOT NULL
129 AND ident_value2 <> '';
131 -- 3. delete the original secondary identification data
134 SET ident_value2 = NULL, ident_type2 = NULL
136 ident_type2 = 101; -- !! CHANGE TO SUIT
139 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
144 Evergreen now supports PostgreSQL 9.6 and 10.
145 If you upgrade your database from a PostgreSQL version of 9.5, or
146 lower, to PostgreSQL versions 9.6 or 10, you will need to recreate 3
147 indexes in additon to the normal database upgrade steps. The index
148 recreation is necessary because of changes to the PostgreSQL
149 `unaccent` extension module.
151 The following snippet of SQL code will do the necessary steps:
154 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
155 DROP INDEX actor_usr_first_given_name_unaccent_idx;
156 DROP INDEX actor_usr_second_given_name_unaccent_idx;
157 DROP INDEX actor_usr_family_name_unaccent_idx;
158 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_first_given_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
159 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(first_given_name));
160 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_second_given_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
161 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(second_given_name));
162 CREATE INDEX actor_usr_family_name_unaccent_idx ON actor.usr
163 (evergreen.unaccent_and_squash(family_name));
164 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
173 Include Item Status in marc_export Items Export
174 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
175 The marc_export script now includes the item status in the 852 subfield s when exporting items.
177 Ability to Reingest Certain Record Attributes In pingest.pl
178 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
179 An option, `--attr`, has been added to the `pingest.pl` support script
180 that allows the user to specify which record attributes to reingest.
181 It can be used one or more times to specify one or more attributes to
182 ingest. It can be omitted to reingest all record attributes. This
183 option is ignored if the `--skip-attrs` option is used.
185 The `--attr` option is most useful after doing something specific that
186 requires only a partial ingest of records. For instance, if you add a
187 new language to the `config.coded_value_map` table, you will want to
188 reingest the `item_lang` attribute on all of your records. The
189 following command line will do that, and only that, ingest:
192 $ /openils/bin/pingest.pl --skip-browse --skip-search --skip-facets \
193 --skip-display --attr=item_lang
201 Database Support for PostgreSQL 10
202 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
203 The Evergreen database can now be built with PostgreSQL version 10.
205 This update has implications for developers who write PgTap tests. In
206 versions of PostgreSQL prior to 10, one could write `\set ECHO` to
207 disable the echoing of commands as they were run. In PostgreSQL
208 version 10, using `\set` without a value is an error. One should now
209 write `\set ECHO none` in order to disable the echoing of commands.
210 This latter form works in all versions of PostgreSQL currently
211 supported by Evergreen.
215 Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
216 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
217 Evergreen can now be installed on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver. To
218 install the prerequisites, use ubuntu-bionic as the Makefile.install
221 This update also fixes a Perl warning in the HoldNotify module that is
222 an error in the version of Perl (5.26) that is installed on Ubuntu
231 MARC Import/Export Interface Update (Angular Port)
232 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
233 This MARC Import/Export (AKA Vandelay) interface is now built on
234 Angular(7) instead of Dojo. The functionality is consistent with the
235 previous version of the interface, with minor UI adjustments to match
236 the Angular style, plus one new interface called 'Recent Imports'.
240 Users may now save sets of import attributes from the MARC import form as
241 named templates. Users may select a default template, applied on page load
242 by default, and users may delete existing templates.
246 This is a new interface which allows users to see active and recent
247 Vandelay sesssions originating from the same workstation or logged in
248 user account. Active sessions include real-time progress information so
249 the user may track the progress without refreshing the page.
251 This interface makes it possible to exit the main import tab or the
252 Vandelay interface altogether and return at a later time to check on
253 import progress. It also allows users to start multiple imports at
254 the same time and follow the status of each in one interace.
257 Spine Label Sheet Printing
258 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
260 Catalogers can now print spine labels onto 8 1/2 x 11 inch label sheets.
266 Patron Parent/Guardian Field
267 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
268 Patrons now have a new dedicated parent/guardian field. This field is
269 editable in the patron edit interface, displays in the patron
270 summary side bar on the browser client, and is search-able from the
271 patron search interface in the browser client.
275 In addition to the standard "show" and "suggest" visibility settings,
276 the new guardian field comes with a library setting
277 'ui.patron.edit.guardian_required_for_juv' ("GUI: Juvenile account
278 requires parent/guardian"). When this setting is applied, a value
279 will be required in the patron editor when the juvenile flag is active.
281 Allow Others to Use My Account (Privacy Waiver)
282 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
283 Patrons who wish to authorize other people to use their account may
284 now do so via My Account. In the Search and History Preferences tab
285 under Account Preferences, a new section labeled "Allow others to use
286 my account" allows patrons to enter a name and indicate that the
287 specified person is allowed to place holds, pickup holds, view
288 borrowing history, or check out items on their account. This
289 information is displayed to circulation staff in the patron account
290 summary in the web client. (Staff may also add, edit, and remove
291 entries via the patron editor.)
293 A new library setting, "Allow others to use patron account (privacy
294 waiver)," is used to enable or disable this feature.
301 Server and Booking Administration Moved To Angular
302 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
303 The Administration => Server Administration and
304 Administration => Booking Administration pages have been ported to
305 Angular using the new Angular grids. Entry points from both AngularJS
306 and Angular web clients point to the new interfaces.
308 Option to Enable Experimental Angular Staff Catalog
309 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
310 A new org unit setting labeled 'GUI: Enable Experimental Angular
311 Staff Catalog' (ui.staff.angular_catalog.enabled) has been added, allowing
312 sites to enable a menu option in the browser client for accessing
313 the experimental Angular staff catalog.
315 When set to true, a new entry in the navigation bar appears in the
316 Cataloging menu labled "Staff Catalog (Experimental)".
318 New Features (Since 3.2)
319 ++++++++++++++++++++++++
321 * Copy location filter
322 * Group formats and editions
327 * Record baskets and actions
328 * Record detail tabs/actions point to AngularJS versions where needed.
329 * Record detail View In Catalog button
336 View upcoming booking reservations in the OPAC
337 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
338 A new tab in the My Account section of the OPAC shows
339 patrons information about reservations on their account.
340 Here, patrons can check on upcoming reservations, as
341 well as reservations they currently have checked out.
343 Note: this interface pulls its timezone from the Library
344 Settings Editor. Make sure that you have a timezone
345 listed for your library in the Library Settings Editor
346 before using this feature.
348 Display UPC as Option for Public Catalog Advanced Search
349 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
350 The Numeric Search tab of the public catalog Advanced Search
351 now includes an option to search by UPC (Universal Product Code).
