Thanks for the new release announcement. I've updated bugs.koha.org numbers 988, 1578, 1907, 2287, 2540, 2620, 2672, 2863, 2870, 2974, 3013, 3081, 3119 and 3162 to FIXED, based on the release notes. As you know, I'm a statistician, so I hope koha-devel don't mind asking about a few of the release statistics: Given the "does not include new features" comment, why were the enhancements included? (particularly bugs 988, 1578, 3081) Why were 15 PATCH-Sent rel_3_0 non-enhancement bug fixes available in bugs.koha.org not included? (bugs 1837, 2151, 2415, 2543, 2555, 2747, 2769, 2777, 2785, 2792, 2805, 2809, 2982, 3064, 3067, 3165, 3166, 3241, 3261) Working from bugs.koha.org reports generator, it seems 36 biblibre bugfixes were included in this release, but only 15 liblime ones and very few from the other development companies. The last 3 months of patch submissions to rel_3_0 bugs look like 37 biblibre, 25 liblime and 19 from other companies. So in short, biblibre has almost 100% fix inclusion rate this release, liblime has 60% inclusion and the other companies were wasting their time submitting patches for 3.0.2. What steps can we take to rebalance whose patches get into release 3.0.3? What does the RM want to see from non-biblibre patch-senders that biblibre ones give? > The next release scheduled in July will include features which are now > in master but not ported yet to stable [...] Please can we make those new features available as contribs, rather than trying to introduce new features during a stable series? In general, "new features" and "stable release" are contradictory ideas, unless those features come as side-effects of bugfixes. I feel that the above shows that there are still bugfixes to include. I suspect including new features in 3.0 will also make the 3.2 RM more difficult. Thanks for any answers, -- MJ Ray (slef).
