+"Canceled Transit" Item Status
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Previously, when a transit was aborted, the transited item would either go into
+"Reshelving" status or would return to whatever status it was in when it went
+into transit, even when the item itself was in a different status (including
+"Checked out").  Now, for most transits that get aborted, the item is put into a 
+new status, "Canceled Transit", which signals to staff the actual state of the
+item.  This feature only affects items with a status of "In transit" and does
+not affect items that were in the following statuses at the time they were sent
+into transit:
+
+.Bindery
+.Lost
+.Missing
+.On order
+.ILL
+.Damaged
+.Long Overdue
+.Lost and Paid
+.Any custom statuses
+
+This change should help clear up confusing situations caused by the previous
+"abort transit" behavior, such as items showing "Available" when they are actually
+en route, and patrons' items mysteriously disappearing from their accounts and
+showing "Available" at the item-owning library without evidence of check-in.
