Text to go in the release notes:
This patchset adds new options to the automatic_renewals.pl script to allow test and verbose modes. **Important:** The patches make the --confirm switch required, without it script will be run in test mode. Existing scheduled cronjobs will need to be updated to supply this switch. Running without --confirm will default in verbose mode as well.
Version(s) released in:
20.05.00

Running the cron with only -c produces a line that just reads "would be renewed." Items renew as expected, so some weird text is a minor problem, but still a little weird.

Nick, I submitted few follow-ups, do you agree with them?
Comment 13 Nick Clemens 2020-02-05 16:15:39 UTC
All looks good to me - we wil need to highlight in the release notes that existing cronjobs will need to have the confirm switch added after upgrade

You are right, we also need to update debian/koha-common.cron.daily!

enhancement not backported to 19.11.x
Comment 20 Katrin Fischer 2020-05-16 15:02:36 UTC
I wonder if we could highlight this breaking change a bit more in the release notes - currently it's almost lost:

The patches make the --confirm switch required, without it script will be run in test mode. Existing scheduled cronjobs will need to be updated to supply this switch.

Oh wow yeah that's a good idea. Easy to be caught out by that one.
