+Serial Control: Embed Alternate Interfaces
+==========================================
+As another step toward a unified interface, the serial control subscription
+editor now consists of an embedded version of the alternate control. This
+reduces duplication of both code and documentation, and smoothes the eventual
+transition to a single interface.
+
+In order to not lose any essential features, the following additions were made
+to the new combination editor:
+
+* note editors on subscriptions and distributions
+* labeled dropdown for distribution summary options ("Add to record entry", "Use record entry only", etc.)
+* legacy record entry linkage setup (Allows one to tie a distribution's information to a particular serial record entry (i.e. a MFHD record))
