Evergreen 2.9.7 and 2.10.6 released

We are pleased to announce the release of Evergreen 2.9.7 and 2.10.6, both bugfix releases.

Evergreen 2.9.7 fixes the following issues:

  • The claims never checked out counter on the patron record is now incremented correctly when marking a lost loan as claims-never-checked-out.
  • When a transit is canceled, the copy’s status is changed only if its status was previously “In Transit”.
  • Retrieving records with embedded holdings via SRU and Z39.50 is now faster.
  • The hold status message in the public catalog now uses better grammar.
  • The error message displayed when a patron attempts to place a hold but is prevented from doing so due to policy reasons is now more likely to be useful.
  • The public catalog now draws the edition statement only from the 250 field; it no longer tries to check the 534 and 775 fields.
  • Embedded schema.org microdata now uses “offeredBy” rather than “seller”.
  • The ContentCafe added content plugin now handles the “fake” ISBNs that Baker and Taylor assigns to media items.
  • Attempting to renew a rental or deposit item in the public catalog no longer causes an internal server error.
  • Various format icons now have transparent backgrounds (as opposed to white).
  • The staff client will no longer wait indefinitely for Novelist to supply added content, improving its responsiveness.
  • A few additional strings are now marked as translatable.

Evergreen 2.10.6 fixes the same issues fixed in 2.9.7, and also fixes the following:

  • Those stock Action Trigger event definitions that send email will now include a Date header.
  • Prorating invoice charges now works again.
  • A performance issue with sorting entries on the public catalog circulation history page is fixed.
  • Various style and responsive design improvements are made to the circulation and holds history pages in the public catalog.
  • The public catalog holds history page now indicates if a hold had been fulfilled.

Evergreen 2.10.6 also includes updated translations. In particular, Spanish has received a huge update with over 9,000 new translations, Czech has received a sizable update of over 800 translations, and additional smaller updates have been added for Arabic, French (Canada), and Armenian.
