Description Alex Buckley 2017-06-01 23:59:09 UTC
Take the bug 18645 new feature and add the following three enhancements: 

* Display the new sysprefs of the current version in a new tab in the About page for easy future access.  

* Make version number a search criterion for system preferences through adding a new column 'version' to the 'systempreference' table and including it in the search url

* Announcing the new version on the staff client through creating a news item at the end of the installation process, this news item will appear for all libraries. 
This news item will contain standard text with the release number and links to new features and preferences. Library staff will be able to edit it adding some library specific information. 

The text will be translated to the language chosen at the start of the installation process. 

Thanks to Marc Veron for these ideas

Unassigning myself as I currently do not have time to work on this enhancement.
