- User ratings of Catalogue Records: An enhancement for User reviews is provided in OPAC. Users can now rate a catalogue record on a scale of 5 (Most useful to not useful). Also, one level of approval is added for User reviews and ratings. After the approval by the Librarian reviews are published on OPAC

- Feedback and comments on catalogue records: Users can write their feedbacks/comments on catalogue records. Librarian can approve and reply for these comments. Approved comments are published on OPAC.

- Users can now submit catalogue records from OPAC along with digital attachments. Cataoguer must refine/approve these records. These records are then added to the main Catalogue

- Circulation form letters made more powerful, simple and more customizable: From this version we are moving all the form letters to Freemarker templates. All form letters will be generated in 3 formats: HTML for rich text, Text format and Message format for SMS & Tweets. Currently, all critical circulation form letters are migrated.
