 The most significant completed feature is the "Selective Dissemination of Information" feature, which can be turned on to allow users to subscribe to searches in order to receive email alerts of new results. Also of note is the improvement of the new filter user interface introduced in 6.0 -- it now behaves consistently throughout VuFind, instead of having different behavior inside and outside of search results pages. Also noteworthy are ongoing improvements to Alma integration, a new language translation (Hindi), and integration with the Unpaywall API. See below for all the details! The most significant completed feature is the "Selective Dissemination of Information" feature, which can be turned on to allow users to subscribe to searches in order to receive email alerts of new results.
