Mobile Release Notes 2025.36

New Features

  • Polaris Holds – Pickup Area Selection: Apps using the Polaris Integrated Library System can now select a specific Hold Area in addition to choosing a Branch. This appears after a patron selects a pickup location and applies to both creating a new hold and updating an existing one.

  • My Barcode Expiry Display: When a patron is logged in, they can now see when their account expires on the My Barcode pop-up. This improves visibility for account management.

  • Lists Multi-Select & Remove: Patrons can now select multiple items in their lists and remove them in bulk.

    • Related Translation Strings:

      • List_SelectEnter

      • List_SelectLeave

      • List_SelectRemove

      • List_SelectRemoving

      • List_SelectCount

  • Here Dynamic Home Tab: The Here tab now uses geolocation (with patron permission) to show what’s happening at the library today. This includes events, programs, available services, and other useful library information, providing a real-time, personalized view while patrons are onsite.

Updates

  • Event Series Sharing: The share option on event series pages will now only appear for valid series, preventing broken or incorrect links.

  • Holds – Action Buttons: Updated the Holds display so only actions that are possible for the patron’s holds are shown. This ensures buttons like Suspend, Resume, Cancel, and Update Pickup Location only appear when applicable, improving clarity and preventing errors.

  • Opening Hours Updates: Improved the accuracy of opening hours displayed in the app by adding automatic refreshes when a location is about to close or has just closed. This ensures patrons always see the most up-to-date status without needing to manually refresh the page.

  • Loans & Holds Buttons: All action buttons on the Loans and Holds display now wrap text properly. This ensures buttons display neatly on smaller screens and improves accessibility for patrons managing multiple items.

  • Notifications History Update: Notification history now refreshes automatically when a new Ad-Hoc Push Notification is received while the patron is using the app, ensuring the Notification Bell Icon displays the latest update immediately.

  • Home Carousels Upgrade: The Book Carousel “More” page now loads faster, giving patrons a smoother and quicker browsing experience while maintaining the same familiar style.

  • Add to Calendar Links: “Add to Calendar” functionality is now available on My Account pages for Events, Rooms, and Equipment. Links also appear on the Room and Equipment booking success pages, making it easier for patrons to save their reservations or event details directly to their personal calendars.

Fixes

  • Channel Content Retrieval: Resolved an issue where certain channels without associated location data could cause errors when loading content. The app now correctly handles channels without opening hours, ensuring smoother navigation and content display

  • Event Ticket Pricing Display: Improved how ticket pricing is displayed for events when certain booking details are unavailable. The app now reliably shows price ranges (e.g., “$10 → $20”) as a fallback, ensuring clearer communication of event costs

  • Reading Tracker Timer: Fixed the display of the session timer when zoomed in. The timer now remains properly aligned and readable at all zoom levels
