What's new

  • Desk setup from a Windows zip. Download offline-checkout-v0.5.0-windows.zip, extract it and run Create shortcuts.cmd. It installs the app for the Windows user and creates two desktop shortcuts: Offline Checkout for every day (receipts print without a dialog) and Offline Checkout - printer setup for choosing the receipt printer once. The zip includes README.txt with the staff instructions.
  • The version is shown next to the title on the start screen and on the Summary. When a pairing code comes from a different version, the message now says which version this workstation has.
  • README describes the receipt workflow. Staff keep the receipt printed at the end of each checkout and scan it into the library system when it's back up. The session PDF is the complete copy. Any receipt printer for 80 mm rolls should work; the Star TSP143 is the tested one.
  • Camera QR reading rewritten on the latest zxing-wasm, without vue-qrcode-reader. Nothing changes on screen, and the file is about 39 KB smaller.

Install

New desk PC, or moving to the shortcuts: follow Setting up a desk PC in README.txt (in the zip). Updating a PC that already has the shortcuts: run the new zip's Create shortcuts.cmd; sessions and the chosen printer are kept. offline-checkout.html is also attached on its own for PCs set up by hand: copy it over the old file.

Sessions are kept: there is no IndexedDB schema change. The pairing format is still OC2, the same as v0.4.0, but keep every desk on the same version. Don't update during an outage.

Before rollout

This is a pre-release. Check on the desk hardware:

  • Run Create shortcuts.cmd on a library PC, choose the receipt printer with the printer setup shortcut, then confirm the everyday shortcut prints a receipt without a dialog.
  • Run the field probe's camera check on a real library PC, and join two PCs by webcam (the QR reader changed).
  • Scan a printed checkout receipt into the library system.
