+A new boolean field is now available for copy statuses to indicate when copies
+having a given status should be considered available. The field has 2 main
+effects:
1. Checking out an "available" copy will no longer result in an override-able
"COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE" alert for staff. The copy will checkout without
self-registration. This feature does not affect the behavior of
checkouts from SIP2 devices.
-Patrons can opt in to receipt email checkout receipts by default via
-a new "Email checkout reciepts by default" patron setting.
+Patrons can opt in to receive email checkout receipts by default via
+a new _Email checkout reciepts by default_ patron setting.

+Two new settings have been added to prevent clerks from accidentally clearing
+all patron bills by scanning a barcode into the Payment Amount field, or
+accidentally entering the amount without a decimal point (such as you
would when using a cash register).
-The first setting is the amount above which staff will
-be asked if they're sure they want to apply the payment,
-the second is the maximum amount of money that can be
-accepted through the staff client.
+Bothe settings are available via the Library Settings Editor. The _Payment
+amount threshold for Are You Sure? dialog_ (ui.circ.billing.amount_warn)
+setting identifies the amount above
+which staff will be asked if they're sure they want to apply the payment.
+The _Maximum payment amount allowed_ (ui.circ.billing.amount_limit)
+setting identifies the maximum amount of
+money that can be accepted through the staff client.
These settings only effect the staff client, not credit
cards accepted through the OPAC, or direct API calls
Distinct CSS classes have also been added for each hold status and each date
that could potentially display in these holds interfaces. A new default style
-highlights the *Available* status in green and the *Suspended* status

contain parts, the hold will fail. To help prevent the user from reaching

a mix of parted and non-parted copies.
