[Evergreen-dev] Evergreen 3.6-beta1 available

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

On behalf of the Evergreen 3.6 release team (Jason Boyer, myself, Terran
McCanna, and Michele Morgan), we are pleased to announce the first beta
release of Evergreen 3.6.  This release contains numerous enhancements and
new features, including

* A new experimental public catalog skin based on the Bootstrap framework
that offers improved responsiveness and accessibility.
* The default staff interface for catalog searching is now the Angular one.
The older AngularJS staff catalog remains available but is now labelled the
“traditional” catalog.
* A new course materials/course reserves module.
* A new interface for managing “hopeless” holds.
* Interfaces for sending test emails and SMS messages to patrons.
* Enhancements for printing and emailing records from the public catalog.
* The conversion of more staff interfaces to Angular, including
acquisitions search and providers, manage authorities, MARC batch edit, and
booking capture.
* New web APIs for supporting patron authentication by EZProxy and
PatronAPI.
* A new Action/Trigger reactor that can make web service requests via GET
and POST.
* A new interface for managing curbside pickup appointments.
*  Support for the v3 Stripe API for credit card payments.
* Certain types of reports can now calculate subtotals.
* Support for the open source website analytics tool Matomo.
* SIP2 patron lookup can now accept the patron username in addition to the
barcode.

As with any beta release, we do not recommend using this in production,
Instead, we encourage folks to take advantage of next week's Bug Squash
Week to perform thorough testing of the beta.
