  * SlimPAC: Under uncommon circumstances, searches could ignore the requested search type (such as title or author) and always use keyword. Now subject, author, title, and keyword searches behave properly.
  *  Closed Dates Editor (Staff Client, Local Admin): Dates did not always display, or displayed incorrectly. 
  * Hold Shelf display (Staff Client, Circulation): If only one hold was on the hold shelf, it would not display. 
  * Force This Action override (Staff Client, Circulation): Previously, multiple events tied to one item could not be overridden in one step.
  * Copy Details (OPAC): Copy information displayed incorrectly if organizational hierarchy was more than three levels deep. (Patch from James Fournie / SITKA).  
  * Offline/Standalone Client: Transaction list would not clear unless the transactions were printed.
  * Hold Targeter: Enhancement to the holds targeter to make it more efficient and reduce load.
  * Spine Labels (Staff Client, Cataloging): The top margin of the first label was misaligned by a small amount. 
  * Spine Labels (Staff Client, Cataloging): In item add, there was database lag time affecting label printing. 
  * Authority Record Import (Staff Client, Z39.50 Importer): Authority record import not functioning correctly. 
  * Patron Holds (Staff Client, Circulation): Displaying patron’s holds showed all the holds they had ever placed, whether active or not. 
  * Z39.50 Client (Staff Client): When searching multiple sources, the display rendering could become unreadable.
  * Renewing Checkouts (Staff Client, Circulation): Critical fix for issues surrounding staff renewing multiple items for a patron.
