| Possible backward compatibility breaks: | Possible backward compatibility breaks: |
| * :!: Low-level filtering/validation of parameters was introduced by [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1518|pull request #1518]]. This should have no impact on normal activity within the system, but if you encounter unexpected parameter processing behavior, you should investigate these changes. | * :!: Low-level filtering/validation of parameters was introduced by [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1518|pull request #1518]].

| * :!: The itemLimit setting used for paginating holdings in some ILS drivers (Alma/Demo) has been moved from the "Holds" configuration to the more appropriate "Holdings" configuration. If you have taken advantage of this feature in a custom driver or if you have changed it in your driver's .ini file, you should move the setting -- see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1463|PR #1463]]. | * :!: The itemLimit setting used for paginating holdings in some ILS drivers (Alma/Demo) has been moved from the "Holds" configuration to the more appropriate "Holdings" configuration.

| | * :!: To fix a minor bug, the $messages property of VuFind\Form\Form has been redefined -- it now contains raw, untranslated messages instead of fully translated messages (see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1534|pull request #1534]]). If you have extended the class and added values to this property, you may need to make adjustments to avoid double translation. |
