[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Upcoming 2.12 release

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who applied the 2.12beta targets to their bugs and 
who talked with me over the past few days on the status of their code. 
We have many LP bugs now with the 2.12 target applied - 
http://bit.ly/2kSdVdG.

At this time, I'm putting out a general call to core committers and 
other testers to help with testing the branches. For now, we should 
focus on branches that are new features so that we can merge them in 
time for the beta freeze on Friday, February 10.

I have a lot of time carved out to test these branches, but the more 
people who are involved in testing, the greater the likelihood that all 
of these patches can be reviewed.

In particular, I could use help with reviewing the following patches:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1624366 - This is a new 
feature that would add integration for the Czech Added Content provider, 
obalkyknih.cz.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1649180 - Adds a new 
'translator' make target option

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1553287 - Incorporating part 
information into biblio fingerprint - I need a signoff on this one so 
that I can merge it along with another, already-signed-off branch that 
also updates biblio fingerprint.

I have been reviewing the below two branches, but would welcome 
additional review from another developer on them:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1629108 - Metarecord 
constituents search result page should use standard search code. Note: 
this one already has a signoff from me

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1573734 - Link to sibling 
metarecord bibs in record details - This one is almost ready to go, but 
Blake is seeking additional feedback on one piece of the project.

We already have people looking at the below two branches, but the 
changes are significant and probably should get broad review:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1596595 - Hold targeter 
features and refactoring

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1646166 - Hatch 2.12 Omnibus - 
this one is a high priority for production use of the web client.

I also want to make note of a couple of requirements for the release:

I plan to merge https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1005040 
sometime this week. Because it requires OpenSRF 2.5, we will need to 
update our minimum OpenSRF requirement for the 2.12 release.

We also have a couple of branches targeted for 2.12 that will require a 
reingest.

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Kathy
