New Features

  • No new features in this release

Improvements

  • Case LIB-286 Improve the placement of the Extension widget on barnesandnoble.com after scrolling.
    The Library Extension was previously placing itself in the top widget when scrolling down the product pages on barnesandnoble.com. The widget will no longer show up in this location.
  • Case LIB-304 Improve the placement of the Extension widget on fantasticfiction.com.
    The Library Extension was previously placing itself in a limited space beside the cover art. This location has been moved below the cover art to avoid some layout issues.

Bug Fixes

  • OCLC Wise Catalogs were failing to properly parse non-physical holdings
    OCLC Wise Catalogs including digital items would cause no results to be returned. This is now fixed
  • Case LIB-307 Evergreen Catalogs would fail to return results if a search returned no found items.
    If an evergreen catalog did not include a specific item, the spinner might forever spin. This is now fixed

Known Issues

  • OCLC catalogs running on 'version 2' of their catalog software are currently not functioning
    If your library uses an OCLC catalog, the functionality is currently broken. This remains on our backlog to resolve.

In Case You Missed It

  • The Library Extension now has the ability to display multiple matching results for physical catalogs
    This new Beta feature will return all matching items for physical catalogs. Previously, only the first matching item was returned, even if no holdings were available. This behavior is now more consistent with how digital catalogs will return all matching items.
    To enable this feature, open the Library Extension configuration page and choose 'General Settings'. Scroll down the list of displayed items until you see 'Beta Feature' with the description. Choose 'Yes, I want all possible matches to be displayed'
