Bug fixes
OCLC Wise users can now successfully place holds on items that are part of multi-volume titles
The app now allows your users to select specific items in a multi-volume set to place on hold. Previously, your users received an error when trying to place holds on multi-volume titles because the app did not allow them to select which item they wanted to place a hold on.
SirsiDynix Symphony library users - trailing space in catalog searches returns results
A trailing space is often added when using device predictive text while typing in search terms. Searches with this trailing space now return results. Previously, searches with this trailing space resulted in an error message.
Switch Account button on My Account subscreens removed
The switch account button was removed from My Account subscreens (holds, checkouts, fines, reading history). Previously, this button was only displayed on iOS devices and did not work as intended. To create parity between devices, it was removed from iOS.
