 IMPROVEMENTS
-This version has been labelled 2.4.0 as there are many many improvements. Almost nothing has changed in the DB, so the stability should be good. But you are warned that some/few bugs may occur.
+Almost nothing has changed in the DB, so the stability should be good. But you are warned that some/few bugs may occur.
 Please READ the release notes. Everything is compatible with previous versions, so, if you just install Koha, you should have the same behaviour as previously, but you will miss many interesting features!

+=== ACQUISITION ===
 	* added a (crontab) script : check_suggestion.pl, that send a mail to the librarian when a suggestion is pending
 	* *MAJOR IMPROVEMENT* :
 		- online help has been added

 		- when recieving an order, you now see the list of existing parcels. The parcel code used to be the "Supplier invoice information". Now when you go to the reciept page, you see all previous recieves, and can create a new parcel, exactly as before. This does not require any change in Koha internals, but we hope it's clearer than before.
 		- when recieving an order in a parcel, you now see all orders still waiting for a receipt. Thus, you can enter isbn/title as previously, or directly click on a title in the list.
 	We worked hard on those new acquisition screens, and hope that you'll find it easier to use than before.

 	* if the library doesn't define a summary for an authority, a standard/default one will be built automatically.
 	* if the librarian set * as subfield, all subfields will be shown, without any separator, but respecting the order. Previously, you had to define every subfield, causing problems in case of reordered subfields.
 	
-	=== CIRCULATION===
+=== CIRCULATION===
 	* added a (crontab) script : overduenoticesSelect.pl, that can be used as replacement for the overduenotice script. This one has many more parameters, including a filter on branches and an external letter (to avoid the need to modify the script on each release)
 	* merged today & previous issues list during issuing. Added a button to renew issues & return issues in 1 click
 
-	=== CATALOGUE ===
+=== CATALOGUE ===
 	* highly improved MARC21 default framework
-	* new systempref "sortbynonfiling". If you catalogate with complete MARC (including indicators), you can set this pref to Yes. It will remove non filling chars and order "The King Henry IV" to letter "K". This systempref is USELESS for UNIMARC (as UNIMARC doesn't manage non-filing chars in an indicator, unlike MARC21)

 	* added a (crontab) script : delete_authority.pl, that deletes all entries of an authority in a biblio.
 	* *MAJOR IMPROVEMENT* in MARC editing :
-		- duplicating a field (+ on the tag) does not require a server call anymore : it's highly faster.
+		- duplicating a field (+ on the tag) does not require a server call anymore : it's much faster.
 		- duplicating a subfield is no longer done with a pipe (|), but by clicking on the + facing the subfield
 		- the "hidden" property of the framework now has 19 possible values. Look in the online help to see them. The immediate interesting value is -1, which means the subfield is minimized on the MARC editor and you must click on it to expand it. Rarely used fields/subfields are easier to manage.
 		- a advancedMARCeditor systempref has been added. If set, tag/subfield values are not shown, except when putting the mouse on the tag/subfield. This systempref is only for "MARC addicts"!
 	* MARC21 : many plugins have been added (by joshua). It seems you now have as many plugins for fixed length fields in MARC21 as in UNIMARC! Note that plugins help you filling a tag/subfield in the MARC editor.

 	* patron images management. A new systempreference has been added (patronimages, in borrowers section). If set (to an image extension, like jpg or gif), the image will be shown on patron detail or circulation page. The images must be stored in KOHADIR/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/patronimages. The image must be named <borrowernumber>.<patronimagessystempref> (1.jpg for example, for borrower #1)
 	
-	=== OPAC ===
+=== OPAC ===
 	Many preferences have been added to OPAC. Read them carefully, as you will be able to modify highly the look and behaviour of your OPAC!
 	* new default stylesheet for css (purple on white). A new stylesheet (contributed by liblime.com) has been added to show everybody the changes in OPAC. If you want to stay with the old one (dark/light green), just reach Koha >> Parameters >> Systempreferences >> OPAC >> opacstylesheet > modify > /opac-tmpl/default/opac_old.css
 	* Amazon content : if the new AmazonContent systempref is set AND an AmazonDevKey/AmazoneDevTag (available on www.amazon.com) is entered in systempreferences AND XML::Simple package is installed, OPAC will show amazon cover pages when available. Note that this feature may not be legal everywhere. For example, it seems it may not be legal in France (you must ask each editor for permission)

 	* new systempref : opacreadinghistory. If set to "yes" (default value), the reading history will be available on OPAC (for logged in users). If set to "no", the reading history never appears.
 	* Recent Acquisition : added a new page to filter recent acquisitions on a given branch.

 	* Inventory : you can now scan in a text file, on an unconnected laptop, with every book in your library. Then, just upload the file in Koha. It will "mark as seen" all books. Once you've scanned everything in your library, just query for all books not seen since the beginning of the inventory, and you'll get "lost" books.

 	* MAJOR IMPROVEMENT : Adding item creation on the fly when receiving serial : if you activate systempref > Catalogue > serialsadditems, you'll have a form to create an item on the fly at the end of the serial receipt form. The item contains the callnumber, the branch, the barcode and the location (where applicable). Go to the catalogue after setting a serial to "arrived", and you should see the item created. If you let serialsadditems to OFF, behaviour is unchanged from previous releases.
 	* the last 5 arrived serials are shown when receiving serials.
