Contributors (work in progress)

This release adds functionality, performance, and usability improvements, and simplifies installing and configuring, in the following areas:

• General search speed
• Cloned patron search
• OPAC Post-search sorting and filtering
• OPAC Advanced search syntax in the simple search interface
• OPAC Advanced search form propagation
• Hold processing improvements
• Z39.50 target server record format configuration
• Hold suspension, including manual and automatic activation.
  • Suspended holds will maintain their slot in the queue, but will not be captured until activated
  • Includes patron and staff management interfaces.
• Hold migration on record merge.
  • When merging a set of bibliographic records, all title and volume holds for the merged (hence deleted) records will be migrated to the lead record.
• Org unit specific soft and hard hold boundaries.
  • A hold boundary determines how far from a given org unit (by proximity) the hold processor can search to find a potential copy.
  • A soft boundary forces the system to set the boundary based on the closest potential copy. This is useful for reducing, but not disallowing transits. If there is a potential copy that's "close by", but it's not available yet, the system will continue to wait for that item to become available (or another potential item to come into range).
  • A hard boundary forces the system to not search outside of a given range regardless of the existence of a potential copy. Hard boundaries are useful for completely disallowing transits outside of a given range.
• Enhanced added content plugin management.
  • Server-side caching of all added content for speed and reduced dependence on vendor site
  • Better handling of added content vendor timeouts (error and retry handling)
  • Amazon is now a proper plugin (images only)
• Added support for limiting the number of checkouts by item type (circulation modifier).
