Evergreen 3.15-rc Available!
by Ruth Davis 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Hello all, On behalf of the Evergreen 3.15 Release Team, I am pleased to announce the availability of the release candidate for version 3.15. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Terran McCanna for wrangling the 3.15 Feedback Fest and everyone who participated in any way with an additional shoutout to Jason Boyer and Blake Graham Henderson for hosting test servers. Also thank you to Jane Sandberg for hosting the collaborative code review and all who participated in that weekly workgroup. Around 30 big and small fixes made their way into 3.15-rc through this amazing collaborative effort. And, we would like to express our gratitude to Galen Charlton for not only building both the beta and rc releases, but doing so live and being available for questions about the process. The release candidate is the next to last step prior to the final build and release of the major feature release of Evergreen ILS, 3.15.0. It is an opportunity for end users at all levels to evaluate if this version is ready to go or has any show-stopping issues that must be fixed prior to the final release. The links at https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/ have been updated. Please be sure to check out the release notes which have changed from the beta version as well as the git shortlog for a list of changes. At this time, the *merge pause has been lifted* with the exception that there should be no pushes to 3.15 except for critical fixes and documentation. *Ruth Frasur Davis, Coordinator* *Evergreen Collaborative Development Initiative* https://evergreencdi.org (650) 265-1193

Question about EDI Advance Shipping Notifications
by Ruth Davis 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hello all, I'm in the process of writing some documentation for a relatively new and fairly niche feature in Evergreen. Since 3.10, libraries utilizing EDI ordering in acquisitions have had the ability, if a vendor provides them, to receive ordered materials through a type of "super barcode" on shipped packages. There's more that goes into it than that, but one of the components of this process is an additional EDI message type, DESADV. These messages link lineitems and item quantities. Currently, these messages populate an unexposed admin grid at ...eg2/en-US/staff/admin/acq/shipment_notification. I'm hoping to hear from someone who is using this feature who will confirm/deny whether these messages are also appearing in the ...eg2/en-US/staff/admin/acq/edi_message interface. *Ruth Frasur Davis, Coordinator* *Evergreen Collaborative Development Initiative* https://evergreencdi.org (650) 265-1193
