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.
