See below for more details. + +New prerequisite - Email::MIME Perl module +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The Email::MIME Perl module is now required, so be sure to run the +prerequisite installation procedure for your Linux distribution before +upgrading Evergreen. + + + +New Features for 3.5.0 +---------------------- + +Administration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +PostgreSQL 10 Support +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +PostgreSQL 10 is now available for installation with Evergreen. Please +see the installation documentation for details. + +New Action Trigger hook for patron registration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Evergreen now includes a new type of Action Trigger hook: stgu.created. +This hook will trigger upon the patron registration submission form. In +addition to the new hook, an example Action Trigger definition is +provided (disabled) entitled "Patron Registered for a card +stgu.created". With clever timing and delay settings, a library can +receive a single notification containing all of the pending patron +registrations for a given time interval. No special server-side +considerations required unless you introduce a new granularity. There +is, however, a new clause introduced to the +"action_trigger_filters.json.example" file. + +If you wish to use this new hook, be sure to include this clause in your +local "action_trigger_filters.json" file: + +---- +"stgu.created" : { + "context_org": "home_ou", + "filter": { + "complete": "f" + } + } +---- + +SendEmail Reactor Updated to use Email::MIME +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The SendEmail reactor for Action/Trigger has been updated to use the +Email::MIME Perl module for proper encoding of the email message +header fields. You should notice no functional difference in the +sending of emails. + + + +Cataloging +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Enriched/Full MARC Editor Ported to Angular +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The full MARC editor is now implemented in Angular. This change impacts +both the experimental Angular catalog and the MARC edit option within +MARC Batch Import/Export (Vandelay) Queue manager. + +Patron View tab in Experimental Catalog +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The record view screen in the Experimental Catalog now has a +_Patron View_ tab. This tab displays a view of the record in +the OPAC, as a patron would see it. + +The _Patron View_ tab replaces the previous _View in Catalog_ +button. + + + +Circulation +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Angular Staff Catalog Holds Patron Search Support +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The Angular staff catalog now supports patron searching directly from +the holds placement interace. + +Hide Print List Button On Self Check Home Page +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The _Print List_ button is no longer displayed on the main page +of the self check interface. This addresses an issue where +users were observed to either hit the _Print List_ button and +walk away or hit it *and* the _Logout_ button, causing duplicate +receipts to be printed. The _Print List_ button continues to +be displayed on the _Items Out_, _Holds_, and _Fines Details_ pages +of the self check interface. + +Update Hold Notification Information +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The public catalog and staff client now have the ability to update +existing holds if a patron or a staff member changes certain +notification preferences or contact information. Evergreen will detect +these changes and prompt the staff user or patron user and ask if they +want to update existing holds with the new contact information and/or +notification preferences. + + + +Client +~~~~~~ + +Angular Staff Catalog Preferences Page +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Adds a new "Catalog Preferences" interface, accessible directly from the +catalog. The UI houses the search preferences (default search lib, +preferred library, default search tab) and a new staff-specific +hits-per-page setting. Other preferences may be added later. + +Adds support for selecting a default search tab using the existing +'eg.search.adv_pane' setting. + +Hatch File Writer Print Option +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Adds a new stock print option in the Hatch printer configuration interface +called Hatch File Writer (translatable). When selected, any print content +that is delivered to this printer is translated into text where necessary +and written to a file in the Hatch profile directory. + +The name of the file written is based on the print context: +"receipt..txt". For example, 'receipt.label.txt'. + +Angular Staff Catalog gets Search Highlighting +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Search text highlighting is now supported on the search results and +record details pages in the Angular staff catalog for searches that +support highlighting. + + + +OPAC +~~~~ + +Custom CSS in OPAC +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +There is now a library setting called opac.patron.custom_css. This can +be populated with CSS that will load in the OPAC after the stylesheets +and allow for custom CSS without editing server side templates. + + + +SIP +~~~ + +Add patron_status_always_permit_loans Option to SIP Server +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Evergreen now has a new `oils_sip.xml` login attribute called +`patron_status_always_permit_loans` that specifies whether +the charge privileges denied, renewal privilges denied, and +card reported lost flags in the patron status block should be +coerced to permissive values regardless of the actual state +of the patron record. Turning this on works around an issue +where a 2019-12 change by the Hoopla SIP2 client takes those flag +fields into account, but some libraries may not wish those +to block a patron's access to online resources that use +SIP2 to authenticate. This setting can also be set as +an `implementation_config` option; note that if it is set to +'true' or 'false' as a login attribute, the login attribute will +override whatever is set in the `implementation_config`. + + + + +Acknowledgments +--------------- +The Evergreen project would like to acknowledge the following +organizations that commissioned developments in this release of +Evergreen: + +TODO + +We would also like to thank the following individuals who contributed +code, translations, documentations patches and tests to this release of +Evergreen: + +TODO + + +We also thank the following organizations whose employees contributed +patches: + +TODO + +We regret any omissions.
