I got a spike in spam comment traffic on my site lately, so I’ve installed a new plugin to help me deal with them. If you (as a legitimate viewer) got blocked by the plugin, you can reach me on twitter @Mizstik.
Oh wait you’re not going to see this post if you got blocked … but if you really tried you would see this on google cache or RSS.
Some major changes in this release. First of all, I built this release from a minimal install of Ubuntu Server edition instead of starting with the desktop edition and stripping it down to fit the CD. I still have to add GUI because we need a web browser to configure Koha so the total size is nearly the same (since the prior versions were stripped bare anyway) but the kernel is the server’s PAE version.
Second, I have included a Koha wallpaper on the Live CD to differentiate it from normal Ubuntu Live CD. It also helps to distinguish whether you’ve booted into the Live CD or your existing Ubuntu installation in the harddisk. Additionally, the readme file is now present on the desktop of the Live CD for your convenience.
And finally, the default password for koha’s administrator is no longer ‘katikoan’, to increase a little security. Be sure to check the readme file for the updated instructions as well as new issues that became unavoidable due to Remastersys and Ubuntu 10.04.
Head to the project page for the download link.
This release adds the much-requested Zebra support and updates Koha to 3.0.5. You don’t need to configure anything, as I have pre-configured zebra daemons to start automatically and added the crontab for indexing, which will be there as soon as the Live CD starts up. You do need to select to use Zebra when you go through the web-installer wizard, as well as selecting “Marc21″ when asked.
Please visit the project page for more detail and download link to SourceForge. This release will no longer be available on BitTorrent.
Hopefully I’ll get another long holiday to update to either 3.0.6 or 3.2 when they’re released.
Ever since I put the download on sourceforge, the torrents have been deserted so I’m taking down the primary seeding server as I have other roles for it now. The torrent still works as long as someone who has downloaded it before still seeds it.
