This will be the last release in the 1.6.x series, and we’ll be moving on to 1.7 where we have some bigger changes planned. This release focuses on minor improvements, fixing Internet Explorer support for IE7 through IE9 and adding the start of email receipts for transactions (like check-in/check-out).
We strongly recommend libraries check, edit and save their email receipt templates. You can do this by going to Organization Info in the left navigation, then clicking on “Edit Receipt Email Template”. Once you edit and save the templates for the first time, logged in users will be able to request a receipt for their transactions to be emailed to them from the “Your Account” link in the left navigation.
