Release 2009B 1.0

We are now running the General Release version of Release 2009B which means that the beta testing period has ended. Thanks to all staff members who reported bugs and issues during the testing period!

-SWITCH Office

Update O - Almost done!

We've received Update O in the past couple days and it has fixed a number of small, niggling problems that have been reported.

Apparently we are getting close to the end of the beta test cycle as Innovative will no longer be doing weekly updates and will only provide updated software as necessary until the final version of Release 2009b is made available.

Update H - Bookings Bug fixed

We received Update H late last night and it does fix the only outstanding bug that we had reported. The button for "Book Selected Item" is no longer permanently grayed out when using the Bookings Module.

2 Bugs Squashed

We received our weekly update last night (Update G) and two of the bugs reported previously have been fixed.

-display of volume numbers in checkin boxes
-incorrect display of fund hierarchies in MilAcq

There is still one outstanding bug related to Bookings, and Innovative is aware of the issue, and I'd expect a fix in next week's update.

Bug #3 - MilAcq Display of Fund Hierarchies

There is an issue in Millennium Acquisitions where Fund Hierarchies do not display the correct information (may be blank). Innovative is aware of the problem and has already coded a fix for this issue which we will receive early next week during our weekly update.

Bug #2 - Volume #'s in checkin boxes

It looks like Release 2009B thought it would be helpful to remove the VOLUME numbers from the checkin card box display. Well it's not and I've reported it to Innovative.

Update on Bug #1 - This is a known issue and will (most likely) be fixed in our next weekly update.

2009B - First Bug

WLC has found the first bug and it involves Materials Booking. When attempting to book an item for a patron at the point of selecting the item to book, the only option presented is BOOK ANY AVAILABLE ITEM and the box for BOOK SELECTED ITEM(S) is grayed out.

I've informed III of the issue and hopefully we'll have a fix for this soon.
