Pika Release Notes for 05/05/2016

Pika release notes 2016.04.0 release

Released on 5/5/2016

Bug Fixes

  • Additional classes added to markup for Text only widgets to allow improved theming.

  • Change PIN was not working for Arlington.  This functionality has been added.

  • Searching for audio books and limiting to Audio CD correctly shows CDs by default.

  • List widgets did not show all titles when created from a list (previously only showed 20).  

  • Horizontal list widgets sometimes wrapped onto 2 lines so all titles were not shown.

  • Number titles on hold in sidebar menu was incorrect in some cases for Koha libraries.

  • When the “Show Hold Button for times that are checked out only” was selected, the hold button would only be shown if the title was checked out at all locations.  Now will be shown if the title is not available locally, but is available elsewhere.

  • Table of contents and citations were not showing for external eContent and Side loaded eContent.  These items are now included in both cases.

  • Manual Grouping of records was not working because validation always failed.

  • In transit items being returned to the library were showing as on shelf rather than showing as in transit for Koha libraries.

  • Records where all items were suppressed still contributed metadata to the overall grouped work.  Indexing now checks to see if the record contributes items and if not metadata from the record is ignored.

  • Updates to Sierra Extract to handle performance issues introduced in the Sierra APIs with version 2.2

  • User can use the Reset PIN functionality with PINs up to 30 characters long.
