Really only if I cannot get to it before the end of August deadline. There
are quite a few changes to the tables that underly the label module which
affect the patron card feature. This is besides the coding changes. I am
working to extract the patron card code and place it in a module to itself
and finish it.

The short of the matter is that the coding changes to the labels module
break the current patron card feature. If there is time before the feature
freeze, the patron card feature will be finished up and included. Otherwise
the code for it will be non-functional at best in the new release. In this
case, the new patron card code should be available prior to the end of the
year at the latest as I have a deadline for all of this work in Jan. 2010.

Kind Regards,
Chris
