| * :!: The new email login capability adds some new features to the authentication logic along with some minor refactoring; if you have custom authentication code, you should review [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1409|pull request #1409]] to be sure you are not impacted by it. |
* The title_sort field MARC indexing rule has been made more explicit, instead of using a custom method. In the unlikely event that you have customized the getSortableTitle method in SolrMarc, you may need to adjust your settings.

* The default controller permission is now "null" rather than "false" -- this is functionally identical, but it is a change needed to support the new configuration options in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1395|pull request #1395]]. In the unlikely situation that you have customized a controller with an accessPermission property of false, you will be unable to override it with the new configuration settings unless you change the value to null first. | * The default controller permission is now "null" rather than "false" -- this is functionally identical, but it is a change needed to support the new configuration options in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1395|pull request #1395]].
