+New Feature: "Purge Holds"
+==========================
+Similar to purging circulations one may wish to purge old (filled or canceled) hold information. This feature adds a database function and settings for doing so.
+
+The settings allow for a default retention age as well as filled, canceled, and canceled by cancel cause ages. The most specific one wins unless a patron is retaining their hold history. In the latter case the patron's holds are retained either way.
+
+Note that the function still needs to be called, which could be set up as a cron job or done more manually, say after statistics collection.
