  • User list citations
    • Correction for pagination and sorting issues
  • Moved ILS full export minimum file size checking to the record grouping process (Minute 34:11)
    • This retains preventing a potentially incomplete export from causing an incomplete index, but allows the regular nightly indexing to still occur. (Previously the full update process skips grouping and indexing due to under-sized full export file
    • Only applies to sites delivering a nightly full export
      • However, doesn’t apply to AACPL  due to order record handling

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed displaying the NY Times lists on the NYTLists admin page
  • Masquerade mode handling for libraries with PIN
    • If a user has never logged in, hasn't logged in since pin update, or doesn't have the correct pin stored in pika, masquerade mode will not work.
    • Please note, PINS are stored encrypted in PIka and we are not able to retrieve pins for users. (Minute 36:00)(Minute 39:36)
  • Stop timeout on archive compound objects while video/audio is playing
