Ian Walls twittered the Coming Soon talk at the LibLime booth at ALA (read from the bottom up):

• Library calendar doesn’t have iCal import/export as part of the request, but should be straight forward.
• All this in next few weeks, though Acq will take a little longer. Should be in 3.2, provided that customers paying for it sign off.
• Other stuff: fine thresholds, offline circ, patron proxies, serial display, granular permissions, sydentics integration
• MFHD import/export, but not stored that way. Fine by me, so long as it maps.
• Not hooked into serials checkin yet, but will be. Good for multi-volumes. Multiple summaries per bib. Free-text add or MFHD.
• Ooooh, now summary records! A way to group items together that don’t necessarily have item records. Not required at all
• New notifications can have defaults per patron type.
• New notifications: patrons pick which to receive and how. SMS is possible.
• Term loans: transact between two dates, have static due date regardless.
• And, of course, the much-anticipated hour-based loan rules! Minute option, too. Library calendar has support for this, too.
• On to new Circ features: policies matrix info pulled out into applicable fines/circ rules. Neat; increases reusability.
• Action buttons will have associated privilege flags. Not Gears, but similar interface tech (XJS).
• Lots of stuff still forthcoming, includig search and UI enhancements.
• Has send feature to mail letter, email or send EDI file. Encumbers on click.
• Very interesting. Looks like biblios (Gears?) and has more fields than the #koha 3.0.3 install I have. Shiny.
• At LibLime’s demo of what’s Coming Soon to #koha. First off: GetIt acquisitions
