- CDI changes
- The "Do not show as Full Text available in CDI even if active in Alma" checkbox on the CDI tab is now disabled for inactive electronic collections.
- A searchable "Hybrid" value will be added where appropriate to CDI-related descriptive fields.
- Ability to limit user permissions for electronic inventory by library - Although this feature is disabled, we now have the option to limit the ability to edit, delete, and activate/deactivate electronic collections and portfolios by library.
- If enabled, no portfolio can be owned by a library different than the one defined at the electronic collection level. In addition, libraries defined at the portfolio level will be automatically removed, except where no library is defined at the electronic collection level.

- SUSHI harvesting can fail when processing large files. When sending a request for 12 months, the tr_j4 report will now use the new "Customer Harvest" functionality with a period of two months.
