v0.7.0 — CSV, Excel and Evergreen downloads, Change clerk, Mac and Linux setup
Pre-release
Pre-release
What's new
- Download CSV and Download Excel on the Summary. One row per item, in the PDF's order: Patron, Item, Scanned at, Clerk, Session. In the Excel file, barcodes keep their leading zeros, Scanned at is a real date, and a second Summary sheet has the totals and the count per clerk.
- Download for Evergreen on the Summary saves the session as an Evergreen offline transaction file (
.xacts). Load it with Import Transactions on Evergreen's Offline Circulation page. Evergreen works out due dates from the library's loan rules.README.txthas the steps. - Resuming a session asks for the clerk's name. The field is always empty, so a new shift can't carry on under the last clerk's name.
- Change clerk in the toolbar switches the clerk without leaving the session or dropping paired workstations. Earlier scans keep their clerk.
- Exit session in the toolbar goes back to the start screen. It asks first only while other workstations are connected. It replaces the Summary's Back to start button.
- Mac and Linux setup. The zip now has one setup script for each system:
Windows - Create shortcuts.cmd,Mac - Create shortcuts.commandandLinux - Create shortcuts.sh. The zip is nowoffline-checkout-v0.7.0.zip, without-windows.
Install
Updating a PC that already has the shortcuts: extract the new zip and run the setup script for that system. Sessions and the chosen printer are kept. New desk PC: follow Setting up a desk PC in README.txt (in the zip). 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, so 0.7.0 pairs with 0.6.x, but keep every desk on the same version. Don't update during an outage.

Before rollout
This is a pre-release. Check on real hardware:
- Windows: run
Windows - Create shortcuts.cmd. The icons are now in anicons\subfolder. Confirm that both shortcuts show their icons and that receipts still print without a dialog. - Mac (Apple Silicon if possible): go through Gatekeeper's Open Anyway, check the app icons, then set up the printer and use the everyday launcher. Receipts should print without a dialog.
- Linux: test Ubuntu with Snap Chromium, and a KDE desktop.
- Evergreen: on a server where offline upload works, run Create Session, Upload and Process with a
.xactsfile. Import Transactions has been checked; the training server's upload step returns errors on the server side.
