-==== The Template Toolkit OPAC Release Notes ====
+====== The Template Toolkit OPAC Release Notes ======
 The Template Toolkit OPAC (TPac) is a new Evergreen catalog built using a combination Perl's [[http://template-toolkit.org/|Template Toolkit]] and [[http://perl.apache.org/|Apache/mod_perl]].  The primary design goals for the new catalog are speed and accessibility.  This is accomplished by leveraging server-generated content in lieu of JavaScript rendering on the client.  The project started as a clone of the custom [[http://catalog.kcls.org|King County OPAC skin]].  The new skin uses the same design elements, but essentially all JavaScript has been removed and replaced with Template Toolkit components for page rendering.
-Initially, TPac will be merged into Evergreen 2.2 as a drop-in replacement for the HTML-only Slimpac.  With minor configuration, it can also act as a drop-in replacement for the standard OPAC.  In time, ...

   * JavaScript/AJAX is still an option when needed (e.g. added content, staff client integration)
-=== Features ===
+===== Features =====
-The long-term community goal is implement all existing OPAC features in TPac.  Not all features have yet been added.  Some new features have been implemented along the way.
+There is a new location for [[dev:opac:template-toolkit:plan|the list of TPAC features and pending TPAC features]].
-== New Features ==
-  * Credit Card Payment
-  * Fines History with Receipt Email/Print Options
-  * Circulation History
-  * Holds History
-  * Action/Trigger Notification Preferences
-  * On-the-fly lists
-  * Batch holds from lists / bookbags
-  * Improved options for hold overrides

-  * Bookbag Enhancements (pending merge)
-    * Descriptions, Record Notes, Sorting, CSV Export, new bookbag search filter
-== Pending Features (Sponsored) ==
-  * Facets Display
-  * Enhancements to the advanced search interface (details to follow)
-== Pending Features (Unsponsored) ==
-  * Display MFHD-based serials holdings (2.0+ "new" serials do display, and users can place issue-level holds)
-  * Some added content components have not been re-integrated.
-  * Widget-based access to all configured search indexes
-    * See the "Advanced" button just below the search input box on the results page in current OPAC
-    * In other words, widget-based access to search against any field configured in config.metabib_field where search_field=true
-  * Search Range
-    * TPac does not presently maintain the concept of "Search Range" at the UI level like the current OPAC.  In other words, it's not possible to search at Branch B while including results from System S.  (In TPac, one would simply search at System S).  This primarily affects the results page.  In the current OPAC, you might see copy counts at different levels of the organizational hierarchy (consortium, system, branch, etc.).  In TPac, you only see copy counts for the location (consortium, system, branch, etc.) you are searching.
