I don't know about umlauts, but at least in Hebrew it would be fine to remove
the diacritics. They are mostly unused in adult daily life and I can't imagine
anyone trying to add diacritics to their name (most people even don't know how
to type those). And if the odd person comes along who tries that, removing
those would be totally fine.

I'll jump over the other discussion see if I can help. Although I'm a Koha
user/admin and I know Hebrew, I don't mix the two :)

[Koha] overdue notice lists all checked out books

[Yuval Hager]

Hi,

I noticed this after upgrading to 3.18.1 (from 3.16). If a patron has overdue
items, they receive the overdue notice, but the list of overdue items includes
all the books they have checked out, not only the overdue ones.

I also get this error on the cron run, not sure if it's related:
Use of uninitialized value $borrowernumber in string eq at
/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl line 544.

Installed on Debian from the koha repositories.

Done, thanks (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13468).

Some project don't like bugs submission before checking on the mailing list.. I
wasn't sure what's your preference...

Re: [Koha] Overdue notices sent to a random patron (3.16)

 Hello Yuval,
 
 Bug found, see the patch on bug 12315.
 The script is advanced_notices.pl, not overdue_notices.pl


Thanks! I applied the patch. This looks like exactly the issue I had.

[Koha] Overdue notices sent to a random patron (3.16)

[Yuval Hager]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Koha 3.16 using the Debian repo on Thursday. Everything went
fine and was working well.

On Friday, I found out that a patron received 51 emails of advanced due notices
of other patrons. I confirmed this with the server mail logs, but I have no
idea why this happened.

I verified that this patron's email address only shows up under their record on
the borrowers table.

Checking the email logs, it seems that it sends a bunch of emails to a single
patron, then another bunch to another (I don't know what the content is), so
I'm suspecting something strange is going on.

I tried running the overdue_notices.pl script with -n -v, and it just spit out
a list of messages to be sent, but not the email address it would send it to.

Any ideas where to begin searching to investigate this?

Thanks,
