Hold Slip and Transit Slip Not Appearing
by Jennifer Pringle 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

Hi everyone, We have one library where the hold and transit slips are not appearing when items are checked in, instead it's going straight to the print preview in Chrome. We've tested and it's happening for this library in both 3.11 and 3.14. I think we must have adjusted something for the library in the past but we haven't been able to figure out what. So far we have ruled out pop-ups being blocked, check in modifiers, Shelving Locations - Hold Capture Requires Verification or Checkin Alert, Auto-Print Settings (Admin -> Local Admin -> Auto-Print Settings), and the library setting "Disable Automatic Print Attempt Type List". Anyone have any ideas of other things to check? Thanks, Jennifer -- Jennifer Pringle (she/her) Co-op Support - Training Lead BC Libraries Cooperative Toll-free: 1-888-848-9250 Email:jennifer.pringle@bc.libraries.coop Website: http://bc.libraries.coop Gratefully acknowledging that I live and work in the unceded Traditional Territory of the St'at'yemc Nations.

Evergreen 3.14.5 and 3.13.10 versions available!
by Ruth Davis 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

Hello all, What kind of crazy Wednesday is this? We have not only a major release to announce (3.15.0 - please see the previous announcement), but also the release of two maintenance versions for 3.14 and 3.13. Both 3.14.5 and 3.13.10 have several bugfixes along with additions to documentation. All of the important links for both versions are available at https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads. Please make sure to check the release notes and shortlog to see what has changed from 3.14.4 to 3.14.5 and 3.13.9 to 3.13.10. Thank you to this month's intrepid maintenance release team which included, Andrea Buntz Neiman (Equinox), Gina Monti (Bibliomation), Michele Morgan (NOBLE), Blake Graham Henderson (MOBIUS), and myself, Ruth Frasur Davis (ECDI) as release manager. Also, thank you to the many people who have contributed to the committing of patches and documentation in these releases. I'd like to extend a special thank you to the 3.15 release team for sharing this "time/space" to accommodate both the feature release and maintenance releases. Finally, while not directly related to the current releases, but most assuredly tangential and relevant, thank you to Elizabeth Davis and Jennifer Weston for getting the tabular release notes (available on the downloads page) current to last month's maintenance releases (3.14.4 and 3.13.9). Go forth and Evergreen. *Ruth Frasur Davis, Coordinator* *Evergreen Collaborative Development Initiative* https://evergreencdi.org (650) 265-1193

Hello all, On behalf of the 3.15 release team, I am pleased to announce the availability of Evergreen 3.15.0. This version of the open-source ILS has significant updates, fixes, and the addition of new features along with evidence of the community's prioritization for a more accessible library software solution. Please find the links to release notes, the current git shortlog, install instructions, downloadable source, and git repository at https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads. With many of the new features, extensive documentation has been added at https://docs.evergreen-ils.org. Thank you to our docs contributors and everyone associated with this work. As we know, this work does not happen without all of us. Please take a moment to glance at the acknowledgments portion of the release notes <https://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_3_15.html#_ac…>. Despite its length and our gratitude to all of those listed, we know that others have given of their time and expertise without a mention. Thank you to them as well. At this time, the *merge pause is lifted* and committing can commence to all current versions of Evergreen. An announcement about Evergreen 3.13.10 and 3.14.5 maintenance releases will come later today. The Evergreen 3.15 Release Team includes the Release Manager Andrea Buntz Neiman (Equinox), Galen Charlton (Equinox), Martha Driscoll (NOBLE), Blake Graham Henderson (MOBIUS), Jason Etheridge (Equinox), Llewellyn Marshall (NC Cardinal), Gina Monti (Bibliomation), and Ruth Frasur Davis (ECDI). *Ruth Frasur Davis, Coordinator* *Evergreen Collaborative Development Initiative* https://evergreencdi.org (650) 265-1193

Self Checkout Kiosk issues
by JonGeorg SageLibrary 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

We have a couple of libraries who are using the Bibliotheca Self checkout kiosks. Ever since we upgraded from 3.7.2 to 3.13.9 they have had issues connecting. SIP settings have not changed, and all other vendors are working fine, which leads me to think it's on their side. Has anyone else had similar issues with a particular vendor and SIP communications? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the issue? -Jon

Hosting Opportunity Open for 2025 Hack-A-Way
by Rogan Hamby 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

The Evergreen Project is opening submissions for hosting the 2025 Hack-A-Way. The Hack-A-Way is an important milestone in the annual calendar for the Evergreen contributor community, especially documentors and developers. Hosting requirements: * A clean meeting space for 15 - 30 people. * Working space for laptops. * A TV, projector or other display and video conferencing for using the Evergreen community videoconferencing services for scheduled events. * Adequate bandwidth for the users * A few snacks and forms of hydration and caffeine * Facilitate reasonable hotel accommodations (cheaper is better but no bed bugs) * Although not required it's become tradition for the host to supply lunches This is a great opportunity for institutions to contribute in hosting that is smaller than the annual conference. The event will be scheduled with the host but takes place in the fourth quarter of the year, usually in late October or early November.
