Discover Release Notes December 2022

Release Date: December 7, 2022

Bug Fixes

Data Improvements

Updates were made to the processing of streaming and MARC Extraction data so that older date-stamped updates cannot override newer date-stamped updates.

Updates to Generated Showcase Code

The default generated showcase embed code was update to have a default width value of 100%. The alignment of cover images in a generated showcase was modified to align along the bottom with the matching title/author text so that short covers no longer appear to float above this information.

Fix for Duplicate Author label in Contributors Showcase

A fix was applied to correct a duplication of the role value displayed for some Contributors in the Related Contributors showcase.
