+Different Styles for Long Overdue Lost Items in Billing Interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+When a Lost or Long Overdue circulation, which has not yet been returned, 
+appears in the patron's list of billed trasactions, style them differently
+from other not-yet-returned items.
+
+The interface will also display a helpful message to staff indicating what 
+colors map to what types of circulations.
+
+The default colors are maroon for Lost items and orange for Long Overdue items.
+
+To change the colors, modify circ.css. To change the language for the hint,
+modify lang.dtd.

+Support SIP Hold Cancellation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Evergreen now supports a subset of the SIP 15/16 Holds message pair for holds
+cancellation.
+
+1. New oils_sip.xml configuration option "msg64_hold_datatype".  This
+is similar to msg64_summary_datatype, but affects holds instead of
+circulations.  When set to 'barcode', holds information will be
+delivered as a set of copy barcodes instead of title strings for patron
+info requests.  With barcodes, SIP clients can both find the title
+strings for display (via item info requests) and make subseqent
+hold-related action requests, like holds cancellation.
++
+----
+Copies are not an ideal identifier for holds, but SIP has a limited
+vocabulary.  With copies we can (99% of the time) work to and from hold
+requests to find a reasonable data set to work on.  If a patron has
+multiple holds for the same item and wants to cancel a specific one of
+those holds, the user should use the catalog instead of SIP.
+----
+
+2. When receiving a message 15 of with a cancellation action, find the
+newest open hold that matches the provided copy barcode and cancel the
+hold.

+Return Hold ID to SIP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If there is a hold on a copy, Evergreen will now return to SIP a hold id to 
+indicate that the copy has been captured for a hold. One possible use case for
+this feature is a scenario where a delivery vendor may be sorting copies needed
+for holds into a different bin from copies returning to their home library. The
+presence of the hold ID indicates that the copy has been captured for a hold.
+It also could use for an Automated Materials Handling (AMH) System to indicate
+that the copy is needed to fill a hold.

+Evergreen now supports SIP "Renew All" functionality, AKA SIP message pair
