7.17.9 Release Notes

Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())

What's New in Alexandria?


Administration
  • Improved support for Gmail SMTP Relay. Additional improvements to operate reliably within G Suite connection limitations are coming this spring!
  • Restored the ability to archive to an external volume.
Circulation
  • Corrected the transposed functionality on Check In and Renew options in the Renewal dialog.
  • Restored the ability to activate patrons from the Circulation window. 
  • Double-clicking Transaction log entries for Patron, In, and Out will now make the associated patron or item current in the Circulation window.
Management
  • Restored Remainder of Title (Subtitle) display in Simple Item Management.
Reports, Utilities, Export, Import
  • Added an Archive utility, which gives users a handy place to perform an archive prior to making large changes.
  • Added the ability to save an Import that isn't configured for FTP—meaning, you can save your Field Mapping.
  • Fixed the Call Number selections, so they now work in the Top Circulated Titles report.
  • Added a report for listing titles that have been hidden in Researcher.
Researcher
  • The Hold and Reservation icons to always be visible. If you aren't already logged in, you will be prompted to log in when you click on them.
  • Added the ability to <alt+click> a tag to search directly on that tag, so patrons don't have to save it to their tag list first.
  • Added the ability to use HTML to format the Explore messages created using Explore Builder, so now they can be formatted with bold, italics, colors, and links. 
  • Updated the series shown in search results so they come directly from the 830 tag. Alexandria will no longer "fall back" to display the 800, 810, or 811 entries.
System
  • Improved performance and reliability throughout the system.

Important Information

Version Numbering Change

Beginning with 7.17.7, we are modifying our versioning scheme to better coincide with scheduled monthly updates. We now use the following:

  • 7 = Series Version ; xx = Academic Year, beginning in June ; yy = Month
  • For example, 7.17.7 means:
    • 7 = Series Version
    • 17 = 2017 Academic year
    • 7 = The seventh monthly update

Centralized Catalogs

If you have more sites than you are licensed for, contact our Sales team immediately at 1-800-347-6439. You can check this in Sites Management; the number of total sites plus the Union Site shows at the top, and the number you have licensed is at the bottom. (The Union Site does not require an additional license.)
