+Bibliographic Fingerprint Improvements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The bibliographic fingerprint will now incorporate subfield n and p from MARC
title fields to better distinguish between records of the same series that
may share the same title but have a different part. With this change, these
MARC records will no longer be grouped together in a 'Group Formats & Editions'
search.
+The bibliographic fingerprint was also changed to better distinguish between a
+the fields contributing to the fingerprint. This change will help the system
+distinguish between a record for the movie _Blue Steel_ and another record for
+the book _Blue_ written by Danielle Steel.

-Accent Insensitive Patron Search
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-When performing a patron search, in addition to the (existing)
-case-insensitivity, these additional characteristics will govern the
-search:
-
-Accent (diacritic) insensitivity::
-Diacritics will be transformed into a plain character equivalent for
-comparison purposes. So if the patron name is Eugène Delacroix, for
-example, you could enter euge for the First Name, and it would
-match. Ligatures such as Πare expanded into the constituent
-characters "OE".
-
-Space insensitivity::
-Spaces will be squashed out for comparison purposes. If the patron is,
-again, Eugène Delacroix, you could enter "de la croix" in the Last
-Name field and it would match.
-
-This behavior affects the Last Name, First Name, and Middle Name fields
-of the search.

-Punctuation Insensitive Patron Search
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-When performing a patron search, punctuation characters will be
-ignored. So if the patron is named O'Brien, then you can enter Obrien,
-O'Brien, O Brien, etc. in the search box.
-
-This behavior affects the Last Name (internally: family_name), First Name
-(first_given_name), and Middle Name (second_given_name) fields of the search.

+Trial Production Use of the Web Staff Client
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The new web staff client is ready for trial production use in all functional
+areas with the exception of serials and offline transactions. In addition to
+many bug fixes in the areas of circulation, cataloging, administration and
+reporting, Release 2.12 sees the following additions to web client
+functionality.
+
+ * Acquisitions interfaces and functionality have been integrated into the web
+ staff client.
+ * Booking interfaces and functionality have been integrated into the web staff
+ client.
+ * Hatch, the program that will allow for unmediated printing to multiple
+ printers, sharing of workstation settings, and, eventually, offline
+ transactions is now available. A windows installer for Hatch will be available
+ on the Evergreen-ILS Downloads page.
+
+The Evergreen developers will keep pilot libraries updated about known web
+client issues by posting known bugs to https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:browser_staff:known_issues .
+
+About Hatch
++++++++++++
+Hatch is not required to use the web client, but should be used for workstations
+that need to perform the following tasks.
+
+ * Unmediated printing to multiple printers. Workstations can print to multiple
+ printers without Hatch, but will need to click through a dialog to select a
+ printer. Hatch allows workstations to automatically print, without dialog, to
+ different printers.
+ * Sharing of workstation settings. When hatch is available for more browsers,
+ this functionality will allow sharing across browsers. Libraries may also
+ install hatch on a separate computer where the settings can be shared by all
+ workstations in the library. Storing local preferences in hatch will also
+ prevent tampering with preferences via the browser developer tools.
+ * When offline functionality is available, hatch will be required to perform
+ offline transactions.
+
+Hatch is currently run as a Chrome extension and is not available in Firefox. To
+use hatch on Windows, Evergreen sites should:
+
+ . download and execute the installer from the Evergreen downloads page,
+ . open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions,
+ . enable _Developer Mode_ along the top right of the page,
+ . click the _Load Unpacked Extension_ button,
+ . load the directory at Hatch -> extension -> app,
+ .. In Windows, the default location for the app directory will be
+ C:\Program Files (x86)\Hatch\extension\app
+ . enable hatch features in the web client by going to Administration ->
+ Workstation Administration -> Print/Storage Service ("Hatch") and choosing
+ which services to use with Hatch.
+ .. this page will also inform you that hatch is connected.

+E-book integration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+OverDrive and OneClickdigital integration has been added to Evergreen. The
+system will now support:
+ * Display of e-book availability in the search results and record summary
+ pages.
+ * Display of e-book checkouts and holds in a patron's My Account pages.
+
+To enable this feature, Evergreen sites need to:
+ * Ensure the new <http_client> block and open-ils.ebook_api service have been
+ added to opensrf.xml and (in the case of the open-ils.ebook_api_service)
+ opensrf_core.xml. Both blocks are now included in the example files.
+ * Contact their vendor to obtain credentials for their API account.
+ * Edit the config.tt2 file to set ebook_api.enabled to true. Administrators
+ will also need to enable specific vendor apis and add base URIs that are used
+ in 856 fields.
+ * Add the credentials for their API account in the new Ebook API Integration
+ settings provided in the Library Settings Editor.
+
+New settings available in the Library Settings Editor
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+The following settings have been added to the Library Settings Editor:
+ * OneClickdigital Basic Token (ebook_api.overdrive.discovery_base_uri)
