Locum 1.1 RC1 Released

The SOPAC development team is proud to announce the first release candidate for Locum 1.1. Locum is the software library that allows SOPAC to interface with the underlying ILS. It also maintains an external index of all of your library's holdings so that it can provide a set of optimized search tools.

1.1 is a significant improvement over 1.0 and paves the way for an imminent SOPAC 2.1 release candidate.

Significant developments include:

• Multi-branch support
• Checkout history
• Diacritics support
• Speed optimizations
• Support for plug-ins

There are a number of significant architectural changes in Locum 2.1, so we are releasing it before SOPAC 2.1 in order that users can become familiar with it. It is not backward-compatible with SOPAC 2.0, however, so do not replace your current 1.0 implementations.

Many thanks go out to the SOPAC development team for their contributions to this milestone release.
