+Web client preview
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The 2.7 release will contain a preview of web client circulation features.

+
+Evergreen is moving away from the existing client because XULRunner no longer 
+supports features critical to the Evergreen software, including remote XUL,
+multi-part streaming, and XML JavaScript. The new web client is expected to
