Koha ILL Backend for Libris ILL (used in Sweden).
The official documentation of the Libris ILL API is available here: https://iller.libris.kb.se/librisfjarrlan/api/doc
See the "docs" directory for more documentation on this ILL backend.
Recent versions of Koha have changed how messages are enqued, which means it is no longer possible to use the Libris backend to send out messages when receiving ILLs. In practice, this means that if you choose to send either email or SMS when an item is received, you will get a "500 Internal Server Error", and no messages are queued.
This problem is present in the following versions of Koha, and in newer minor versions of the affected major versions (so e.g. 22.11.06, 22.11.07, 22.11.08 etc are affected):
23.05.00
22.11.06
22.05.13
A fix has been made in the git branch called fix-enqueue, so if your Koha is affected by this problem, do not use the code from the master branch, but use the fix-enqueue branch:
$ git checkout fix-enqueueThe same fix will be applied to the master branch in due time, but it is considered to be too early yet, to avoid problems for sites that run versions of Koha that are not yet affected.
2019-11-21: Add support for empty form.
2019-11-26: Add support for multiple sigils. PLEASE NOTE: This changes the way settings for the Libris backend are stored, from koha-conf.xml to a separate YAML file. Please see the docs/config.pod for details on the new config.
2020-05-13: patron_id_field is added as an optional config variable. The default remains to use the user_id from the Libris data to look up patrons based on cardnumber, but with this variable the backend can be told to use e.g. userid or borrowernumber.

The commits from the "waiting" branch have now been merged into the "master" branch, since the changes in Koha they relied on have been merged into Koha version 22.11. This means you need at least 22.11 to run the master branch.
