[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Quick Update on 2.6 RC [RM2.6]
Hello all, The 2.6 release candidate has not yet been cut. Two of the blockers are still in need of final review: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=2.6-rc-blocker Actually, though, the bigger reason we are waiting is that there are reports of search issues on a production data set, and since an RC should be production-ready, I am trying to give as much time as possible to see if we can ferret out the source of these problems. I am committed to moving forward with a release of some sort before the conference kicks off on Wednesday. If we get a handle on this issue before then, I will likely go ahead with the RC, but if we cannot, I intend to package up the code as a 2.6-beta2 release instead. Thanks, Dan Daniel Wells Library Programmer/Analyst Hekman Library, Calvin College 616.526.7133
[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Update on Evergreen at the King County Library System
Hello, I'm unfortunately going to miss the conference this week and since I have seen a few questions come through on what we're currently doing at KCLS I thought I would send out a short update. The last several months we have been focused on internal support of our Evergreen environment (currently 2.4), rethinking monitoring and localizing system dependencies to make updating easier. In that time KCLS has also launched Bibliocommons for our patrons while also focusing some effort on local customizations to improve staff workflows. Soon we are going to be adding some internal resources, and with more local staff supporting our Evergreen instance we hope to cleanup and post some of our local work for community feedback. I'm sorry I'll miss the opportunity to catch up with you all in person this week. Bradley Bonner from our system will be attending so I look forward to hearing about all the great discussions when he's back. Best Regards, Matt Carlson ILS Administrator King County Library System mcarl...@kcls.org
