A big milestone for those interested in adopting Evergreen outside of PINES

Mike Rylander just announced the first release candidate of Evergreen 1.20 on the open-ils blog (“It’s the newwwwwww style“): “The 1.0 series was pretty heavily skinned for PINES, with the images, rules, and default configuration, and new backend features were slow to be incorporated due to the pain of updating the database schema. The shiny new 1.2 series removes almost all traces of PINES-specific images and default rules, and contains many new backend improvements. It is also the first non-experimental release to include a significant amount of code not created directly by GPLS and PINES.”. It’s a big step when an open source project begins incorporating code from people other than its original developers: this release of Evergreen includes code not only from non-PINES/Georgia Public Library folks, it even includes code from folks with no current connection to the library world. Kudos to the Evergreen team for taking this project to the next level.

    I think the adoption of Evergreen by the British Columbia libraries is also a huge catalyst for moving the project along to the next level.
