Taking a break

I am currently feeling really disheartened and disappointed in the reaction of many libraries to the situation with Koha and the proprietary Liblime fork. So I am stepping back, I am not going to comment on it, and try to not even think about it for the next month or so. I feel I have [...]

Updated Koha 3.0.4

Often they wither and die or are merged back into the main development line. Sometimes there is enough momentum behind them they continue on, [...]
