The Evergreen community is pleased to announce two maintenance releases of Evergreen 3.0.2 and 2.12.8.

• Copy templates created in XUL Holdings Maintenance will now be automatically converted and displayed in the web staff client’s volume/copy editor.

• Many patron fields have been redacted from the web staff client’s patron and record holds grids, leaving patron name, username, and ID.
