[Gagnon, Ron]

Good morning, Outreachers,

Here is a new press release for your review.

NEW EVERGREEN RELEASE UPGRADES FUNCTIONALITY

Evergreen Release 3.5 is now available.  The latest semi-annual release
upgrades several important functions.



The full MARC editor, billing and payment, hold notification and patron
self-registration processes all have improvements for users and staff.  Updates
to the new prototype Angular catalog also continue.



The release includes contributions from 18 individuals and 12 institutions,
continuing progress through the pandemic.  The enhancements are overseen by
a group of 13 committers who review and approve all software additions to
core software for the general releases.  The new release was overseen by
Bill Erickson, software development engineer for the King County Library
System and Chris Sharp, PINES System Administrator at the Georgia Public
Library Service.



Evergreen continues to be the leading ILS for consortia and delivers local
flexibility and granularity of policies that no other software can match
and delivers the most interoperability for libraries via its truly open
APIs.   Evergreen is open-source software, licensed under the GNU GPL,
version 2 or later and is available to all for download at no cost from the
Evergreen web site at <http://evergreen-ils.org/>https://evergreen-ils.org/

The Evergreen community is made up of individuals, libraries, companies,
and other organizations that support the Evergreen Integrated Library
System. Evergreen is highly-scalable software that helps patrons find
library materials and helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those
materials, no matter how large or complex the libraries. More than 2,000
libraries around the world use Evergreen.
