+Retrieve Recent Patrons 
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Adds a new library setting 'Number of Retrievable Recent Patrons' 
+('ui.staff.max_recent_patrons') that specifies the number of recently
+retrieved patrons that can be re-fetched from the staff client.
+
+A value of 0 means no recent patrons can be retrieved.
+A value greater than 1 means staff will be able to retrive multiple
+recent patrons via a new Circulation 'Retrieve Recent Patrons' menu entry.
+
+The default value is 1 for backwards compatibility.
