* 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).

| * 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. | * New [[development:plugins:view_helpers|view helpers]] ("slot" and "parentTemplate" / "templatePath") make it easier to extend and customize core templates.

* :!: The way feedback forms do text translation has been refactored; if you have customized this code, you may need to adjust to match.

* :!: 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.

| * 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.
