Release Notes for Evergreen version 1.4.0.6
Bugs Fixed
1. SlimPAC: Under rare circumstances, searches could ignore the requested search type (such as title or author) and instead perform a keyword search. 2. Closed Dates Editor (Staff Client, Local Admin): Dates did not always display, or displayed incorrectly. 3. Hold Shelf display (Staff Client, Circulation): If only one hold was on the hold shelf, it would not display. 4. Force This Action override (Staff Client, Circulation): Previously, multiple events tied to one item could not be overridden in one step. 5. Copy Details (OPAC): Copy information displayed incorrectly if organizational hierarchy was more than three levels deep. (Patch from James Fournie / SITKA). 6. Offline/Standalone Client: Transaction list would not clear unless the transactions were printed. 7. Hold Targeter: Enhancement to the holds targeter to make it more efficient and reduce load. 8. Spine Labels (Staff Client, Cataloging): The top margin of the first label was misaligned by a small amount. 9. Spine Labels (Staff Client, Cataloging): When adding items, there was database lag time affecting label printing. 10. Authority Record Import (Staff Client, Z39.50 Importer): Authority record import not functioning correctly. 11. Patron Holds (Staff Client, Circulation): Display for patron’s holds showed all the holds the patrons had ever placed, whether active or not. 12. Z39.50 Client (Staff Client): When searching multiple sources, the display rendering could become unreadable. 13. Renewing Checkouts (Staff Client, Circulation): Critical fix for issues surrounding staff renewing multiple items for a patron.
New Features
1. MARC Editor (Staff Client, Cataloging): Provides a default record type-behavior when the record is incorrectly coded. Note that this function does not replace the improper record type; it simply assigns a default behavior in the event an unrecognized record type is entered.
2. MARC Editor (Staff Client, Cataloging): Copy/Cut/Paste context menus are now available for all editable fields. Right-click in an editable field, and the menus pop up.
3. MARC Editor (Staff Client, Cataloging): Authority validation made even more strict, to avoid failing validation on floating subdivisions within a MARC field.
4. Item Attribute Editor, Volume-Copy Editor (Staff Client): Templates now sort alphabetically. Note: templates in lower case will precede templates in upper case.
5. Holdings Maintenance (Staff Client, Local Administration): Allows a choice between "alert on last copy" and "delete with last copy" for bibliographic records.
6. Billing interface (Staff Client, Circulation): Billing retrieval now much faster due to new API (programming).
7. Patron Search (Staff Client): Improved autofocus, which controls how and where the cursor defaults for data entry.
8. Z39.50 Client (Staff Client): PQN search feature restored. PQN (for Prefix Query Notation) is a powerful search tool used by some catalogers for direct querying of Z39.50 servers. To see it in action, try @mosher beer
(the equivalent of the keyword search, mosher and beer
) or try this more complex search: @or papazian @attr 1=21 beer
(a search for papazian or beer
except that the first term can be anywhere, while the second term must be in the subject field). Note: found under label, Raw Text
.
