Bug fixes

Some searches containing a IIIF image now resolve as expected 

We have resolved “There was an error while displaying your record” message when executing a search that included special collection material from CONTENTdm. Previously, if there was a blank IIIF image in any of the top 10 records contained within the search, the search results would show an error. With this release, searches that include malformed CONTENTdm images will now be successful.  

All “Share” emails will be delivered to recipient’s inbox and should no longer be flagged as spam  

We have resolved an issue where some emails were being sent to a user’s spam folder. The email header domain did not match the sender domain. After this release, these emails will now be sent from the oclc.org domain and should avoid spam rules.
