516 SET pref_prefix = NULL,
517 pref_first_given_name = NULL,
518 pref_second_given_name = NULL,
519 pref_family_name = NULL,
522 WHERE usrname ~ ('^' || id || '-PURGED')
526 pref_prefix IS NOT NULL OR
527 pref_first_given_name IS NOT NULL OR
528 pref_second_given_name IS NOT NULL OR
529 pref_family_name IS NOT NULL OR
530 pref_suffix IS NOT NULL OR
531 name_keywords IS NOT NULL

605 or similar in the apache configuration. Add the following after the
606 FallbackResource directive:
611 <IfModule mod_headers.c>
612 Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
613 Header set Pragma "no-cache"
619 Finally, ensure that the mod_headers apache module is enabled by running the
620 following commands on all apache servers as the root user:
625 /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
629 Repair of Self-closing HTML Tags
630 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
631 The most recent release of JQuery requires valid closing tags for X/HTML elements.
632 These were repaired within affected OPAC/Staff Client TT2 templates, but care should
633 be taken in Action/Trigger templates to make sure closing tags are present where
634 appropriate. The stock template for PO HTML was affected.
635 See https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1873286[LP#1873286] for details.
640 Two new global flag settings have been added to control if/when billings and
641 payments are aged. Both settings are disabled by default.
643 * 'history.money.age_with_circs'
644 ** Age billings and payments linked to circulations when the cirulcation
646 * 'history.money.retention_age'
647 ** Age billings and payments based on the age of the finish date for
648 the linked transaction.
649 ** To age money based on this setting, there is a new srfsh script
650 at (by default) /openils/bin/age_money.srfsh.
652 Aged Payment Additional Fields
653 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
655 The aged payment table now has accepting_usr, cash_drawer, and billing
656 columns to improve reporting of aged money.
658 Manual Data Migration of Aged Money
659 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
661 For users that wish to age money along with circulations (global flag
662 'history.money.age_with_circs' is set to true), it's necessary to manaully
663 age money for circulations which have already been aged. This can be
664 done directly in the database with SQL:
666 NOTE: This SQL can take a very long time to run on large databases, so
667 it may be necessary to process aged circulations in batches instead
671 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
672 SELECT money.age_billings_and_payments_for_xact(circ.id)
673 FROM action.aged_circulation circ
674 -- limit to aged circs with billings
675 JOIN money.billing mb ON mb.xact = circ.id;
676 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
679 PostgreSQL 10 Support
680 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
681 PostgreSQL 10 is now available for installation with Evergreen. Please
682 see the installation documentation for details.
684 New Action Trigger hook for patron registration
685 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
686 Evergreen now includes a new type of Action Trigger hook: stgu.created.
687 This hook will trigger upon the patron registration submission form. In
688 addition to the new hook, an example Action Trigger definition is
689 provided (disabled by default) entitled "Patron Registered for a card
690 stgu.created". With clever timing and delay settings, a library can
691 receive a single notification containing all of the pending patron
692 registrations for a given time interval. No special server-side
693 considerations required unless you introduce a new granularity. There
694 is, however, a new clause introduced to the
695 "action_trigger_filters.json.example" file.
697 If you wish to use this new hook, be sure to include this clause in your
698 local "action_trigger_filters.json" file:
702 "context_org": "home_ou",
709 SendEmail Reactor Updated to use Email::MIME
710 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
711 The SendEmail reactor for Action/Trigger has been updated to use the
712 Email::MIME Perl module for proper encoding of the email message
713 header fields. You should notice no functional difference in the
721 Enriched/Full MARC Editor Ported to Angular
722 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
723 The full MARC editor is now implemented in Angular. This change impacts
724 both the experimental Angular catalog and the MARC edit option within
725 MARC Batch Import/Export (Vandelay) Queue manager.
727 Patron View tab in Experimental Catalog
728 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
729 The record view screen in the Experimental Catalog now has a
730 _Patron View_ tab. This tab displays a view of the record in
731 the OPAC, as a patron would see it.
733 The _Patron View_ tab replaces the previous _View in Catalog_
741 New Hold Sort Order: Traditional with Holds-chase-home-lib-patrons
742 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
744 This is a new entry under Administration -> Server Administration ->
745 Best-Hold Selection Sort Order in the staff client. It prioritizes holds
746 such that a given item, based on its owning library, will prefer patrons with
747 a matching home library, no matter the pickup library.
750 Angular Staff Catalog Holds Patron Search Support
751 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
752 The Angular staff catalog now supports patron searching directly from
753 the holds placement interace.
755 Hide Print List Button On Self Check Home Page
756 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
757 The _Print List_ button is no longer displayed on the main page
758 of the self check interface. This addresses an issue where
759 users were observed to either hit the _Print List_ button and
760 walk away or hit it *and* the _Logout_ button, causing duplicate
761 receipts to be printed. The _Print List_ button continues to
762 be displayed on the _Items Out_, _Holds_, and _Fines Details_ pages
763 of the self check interface.
765 Update Hold Notification Information
766 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
767 The public catalog and staff client now have the ability to update
768 existing holds if a patron or a staff member changes certain
769 notification preferences or contact information. Evergreen will detect
770 these changes and prompt the staff user or patron user and ask if they
771 want to update existing holds with the new contact information and/or
772 notification preferences.
779 Angular Staff Catalog Preferences Page
780 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
781 Adds a new "Catalog Preferences" interface, accessible directly from the
782 catalog. The UI houses the search preferences (default search lib,
783 preferred library, default search tab) and a new staff-specific
784 hits-per-page setting. Other preferences may be added later.
786 Adds support for selecting a default search tab using the existing
787 'eg.search.adv_pane' setting.
789 Hatch File Writer Print Option
790 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
791 Adds a new stock print option in the Hatch printer configuration interface
792 called Hatch File Writer (translatable). When selected, any print content
793 that is delivered to this printer is translated into text where necessary
794 and written to a file in the Hatch profile directory.
796 The name of the file written is based on the print context:
797 "receipt.<context>.txt". For example, 'receipt.label.txt'.
799 Angular Staff Catalog gets Search Highlighting
800 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
801 Search text highlighting is now supported on the search results and
802 record details pages in the Angular staff catalog for searches that
803 support highlighting.
812 There is now a library setting called opac.patron.custom_css. This can be
813 populated with CSS that will load in the OPAC after the stylesheets and
814 allow for custom CSS without editing server side templates. The permission
815 UPDATE_ORG_UNIT_SETTING.opac.patron.custom_css manages access to it.
822 Add patron_status_always_permit_loans Option to SIP Server
823 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
824 Evergreen now has a new `oils_sip.xml` login attribute called
825 `patron_status_always_permit_loans` that specifies whether
826 the charge privileges denied, renewal privilges denied, and
827 card reported lost flags in the patron status block should be
828 coerced to permissive values regardless of the actual state
829 of the patron record. Turning this on works around an issue
830 where a 2019-12 change by the Hoopla SIP2 client takes those flag
831 fields into account, but some libraries may not wish those
832 to block a patron's access to online resources that use
833 SIP2 to authenticate. This setting can also be set as
834 an `implementation_config` option; note that if it is set to
835 'true' or 'false' as a login attribute, the login attribute will
836 override whatever is set in the `implementation_config`.
