[Isis-users] Fwd: ABCD - patch 1.2beta1 is available for tests

[De Smet Egbert]

Dear Jussara and ISIS-list users interested in ABCD :
I did some testing of the new version 1.2beta and here are some findings. Since most if not all changes were done in Central, I only tested that part. ABCD is such a feature-rich software that testing all functions of it becomes almost impossible...
First of all some good news : it seems generally this version has less problems than previous versions including 1.1. I will therefore start with some positive remarks before listing some negative ones which fortunately are - except maybe one or two - minor issues like typos in translations.

++ Z39.50 is working again (this was most annoying in operational environments!)
++ deleting users and loanobjects from table-listing again workser
+ after logging out the login screen is shown now again

- - create new policy not working in Loans (and no 'default' policy defined ?!!)
- marc.par : loanobject instead of loanobjects
- reserva.par in bases/par can be deleted
- 'occurrence' (in global changes dialog)
- replace (in global changes) is not working
- task overview using Spanish only (in global changes)
- 'user overdued' (loan transaction in Loans) should be 'user has overdue objects'
- WXIS|fatal error|unavoidable|dbxopen: suspml.cnt (2)| in Loans after returning a book
- suspml.par : error in line suspml.pft=%path_database%suspml/pfts/en/suspml.pft
- Translate Loan help page : The requested URL /central/dbadmin/trad_ayudas_loan.php was not found on this server.
- Translate help page Statistics : no contents are editable
- after editing list of databases : should return to menu_modificardb.php, not to databases_list.php
- 'estado de cuenta del usuario' should not be record-related but displayed once as a feature in iAH, so not in 'shortcut.pft' - and please made language-dependent


I hope meanwhile others have also sent in more feedback even if I didn't see much of it on this list. Latin-America is clearly on holidays... but I hope it is not a bad sign of lower interest in ABCD. With this upcoming new version (with some interesting new features !) we will again have made a good step forwards and end up very close to a fully working software with which I have been able to impress many library-ITers all over the world, including KOHA- and commercial software users.

Happy New Year to you all.

Hi everyone!

The patch 1.2beta1 is being prepared and we would like to ask you to help us in this release.

In order to optimize the testing process, avoiding the re-appearance of bugs that have already been solved and to make sure that critical features that stop working will be set right in the present version and not only in the next one, the patch closure process is being changed.

We updated  the demo version (abcd.demo.bvsalud.org) with this patch, which is also available for evaluation in the following pages:

Windows
http://bvsmodelo.bvsalud.org/download/abcd/patch-1.2beta2/ABCD_1.2beta1.zip
Linux
http://bvsmodelo.bvsalud.org/download/abcd/patch-1.2beta2/ABCD_1.2beta1.tar.gz

You will find attached the changelog of this application followed by a description of everything that has been developed or fixed in this version.

The patch will be available for testing until 01/09/2011. And  the patch to the final version will be ready by the end of January.

If you are interested in participating in this testing process, please send us a description of whatever problem you may have found in the demo version, as well as any other comment you may like to share.

We have also created a survey to elect whick tickets should be solved in the next version:
http://bit.ly/survey-abcd-1-3beta1

You  may choose the 5 tickets you find most important in the following list:<http://bit.ly/survey-abcd-1-3beta1>
 <http://bit.ly/encuesta-abcd-1-3beta1> http://reddes.bvsalud.org/projects/abcd/report/23

Or create a new ticket at:
http://reddes.bvsalud.org/projects/abcd/newticket

Note: Before creating a ticket, click on the link "Preferences", insert your name and email address and click on "save changes" to keep your identification in the system. Also we propose that all those who have opened tickets, please, review them and add more details to help this action.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,
