   * ArchivesSpace integration (support for ingesting Dublin Core records harvested from ArchivesSpace over OAI-PMH; see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1623|pull request #1623]]).
   * When using the optional link shortener feature, you can now configure how shortlinks redirect to full URLs (HTML-based, header-based, or conditional URL-length-based redirection). See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1533|pull request #1533]].
+  * VuFind's integration with EBSCO Discovery Service has been significantly improved, with a large number of bug fixes.
   * New [[development:plugins:view_helpers|view helpers]] ("slot" and "parentTemplate" / "templatePath") make it easier to extend and customize core templates. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1454|pull request #1454]] and [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1458|pull request #1458]] for details.
   * Custom [[configuration:feedback|Feedback Forms]] now support help text both before and after form elements through new pre/post help configuration settings.

   * :!: VuFind's jQuery version has been upgraded from 2.1.1 to 3.5.1; if you have custom jQuery code, you should double-check its compatibility.
   * :!: Several templates have been rewritten to use the slot view helper instead of view variables, improving readability and extensibility; if you have extended these templates yourself, the code may need to be adjusted. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1454|pull request #1454]] details.
-  * :!: The \VuFind\Search\Base\Params::getFilters() method, which was deprecated in release 6.1, has now been completely removed; use \VuFind\Search\Base\Params::getRawFilters() instead.
+  * :!: The \VuFind\Search\Base\Params::getFilters() method, which was deprecated in release 6.1 (see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1489|pull request #1489]]), has now been completely removed; use \VuFind\Search\Base\Params::getRawFilters() instead.
   * :!: The constructor signature of the \VuFindTheme\Initializer has been changed so that it can now optionally accept a service container instead of an MVC event object; if you have subclassed the Initializer, you will have to adjust your method signature to match. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1600|pull request #1600]] for details.
   * :!: The \VuFindSearch\Backend\Eds\Zend2 class has been renamed to \VuFindSearch\Backend\Eds\Connector to prevent Laminas-related confusion; this should only impact you if you have made low-level changes to the EDS integration. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1546|pull request #1546]].

   * :!: The way feedback forms do text translation has been refactored; if you have customized this code, you may need to adjust to match. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1565|pull request #1565]].
   * :!: Because score values are never used in core code (except when dumped out in non-MARC staff view tabs), the default field list retrieved from Solr has been changed from "*,score" to simply "*". There is now a default_record_fields setting in searches.ini (and other equivalent Solr backend configurations) which can be used to customize the field list. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1568/files|pull request #1568]] for details.
+  * The EBSCO Discovery Service integration now uses POST instead of GET for search API requests; the legacy GET behavior can still be accessed through an EDS.ini setting. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1627|pull request #1627]] for details.
   * The \VuFind\RecordTab\TabManager::zendConfig property has been renamed to legacyConfig to prevent Laminas-related confusion; because this property is only used for accessing obsolete configuration settings, the impact of this change is expected to be minimal... but if you have customized the TabManager, you should check for issues. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/commit/46e10504b90da88d0b4673a085b19941088f23b4|this commit]] for details.
