It requires PDF::API2 Perl module. this requirement is NOT tested by the installer, and will be non-mandatory on official 2.2.0 release. +* A lot of bugfixes. The list is too long to be done. + +This "snapshot" is a good basis for translation process. Feel free to subscribe to koha-translate and become involved in a localisation to your own language. + +=========== +WHAT'S NEXT +=========== +This version is quite stable. The next one should be called "2.2.0RC1". +It still requires some work in LDAP handling. \ No newline at end of file -- 2.11.0
