+Evergreen 2.9.7
+---------------
+This release contains several bugfixes improving on Evergreen 2.9.6
+
+* The claims never checked out counter on the patron record is now
+ incremented correctly when marking a lost loan as
+ claims-never-checked-out.
+* When a transit is canceled, the copy's status is changed only
+ if its status was previously "In Transit".
+* Retrieving records with embedded holdings via SRU and Z39.50 is now
+ faster.
+* The hold status message in the public catalog now uses
+ better grammar.
+* The error message displayed when a patron attempts to place
+ a hold but is prevented from doing so due to policy reasons
+ is now more likely to be useful
+* The public catalog now draws the edition statement only
+ from the 250 field; it no longer tries to check the 534
+ and 775 fields.
+* Embedded schema.org microdata now uses "offeredBy" rather
+ than "seller".
+* The ContentCafe added content plugin now handles the "fake"
+ ISBNs that Baker and Taylor assigns to media items.
+* Attempting to renew a rental or deposit item in the public
+ catalog no longer causes an internal server errorr.
+* Various format icons now have transparent backgrounds (as opposed
+ to white).
+* The staff client will no longer wait indefinitely for Novelist
+ to supply added content, improving its responsiveness.
+* A few additional strings are now marked as translatable.
