Aeon 7.0.1833

Released August 31, 2026. Full-text search across everything, one-click next steps, and faster queue counts

Highlights​

  • Search everything, instantly. The search palette now runs on SQL Server full-text search — any word, phrase, or identifier finds matching requests, users, and activities as you type.
  • Custom fields join search. Custom-field values are found by the one search box, and every text custom field is searchable by its name.
  • Search shows why a result matched — when a search hit lives in a field the result row doesn't display, the row shows it: "Condition Notes: …foxing throughout…".
  • Search Help page — a new in-app guide (menu → Search Help, or type ? in the search box) explaining how search works and listing every field term like title: and author:.
  • Search Index status page. Customization Manager gains a read-only page showing full-text index health and population progress.
  • Total items in queues — the dashboard's Queue Overview now shows the total number of items across all displayed queues.

Fixes​

  • Pasted identifiers with spaces or hyphens now search correctly. A call number pasted as-is ("MS Am 1433.11") finds its requests without quotes or operators, and hyphenated values in titles and info fields ("1834-1848", "NEH-2024-1187") are findable again.
  • Mistyped field terms are called out. A search like bogus:foo now shows a notice naming the unrecognized field term and linking to Search Help, instead of silently returning nothing.
  • Zero-result searches no longer show queue guidance. The search page's requests view said "Try selecting a different queue" when a search found nothing; it now says so in search terms.
  • Next-step buttons act with one click again when a state has several queues. Check Out, Place On Hold, Reshelve, Item Reshelved and In Photoduplication are split buttons like the desktop client's — the button routes to the default queue and lets routing rules choose, the arrow lists every queue.
  • Faster queue counts on large databases — the dashboard and sidebar queue counts now use covering indexes and a short server-side cache, fixing multi-second queue loads on systems with hundreds of thousands of requests.
  • Editing a routing rule no longer overwrites fields you didn't touch. Saving an edit now sends only the changed fields, so a coworker's simultaneous change to the rest of the rule is preserved.
  • Routing rule activate/deactivate no longer overwrites concurrent edits. The toggle now updates only the active state on the server, so another staff member's simultaneous change to the same rule is preserved.
  • Addon activation API — the toggle-active endpoints for client and server addons are now set-active and take an explicit { "active": true|false } body, so repeated submissions can't flip an addon back; scripted callers of the old routes must update.
  • "Custom Fields" now means only site-defined custom fields. The built-in ActivityInfo/ItemInfo/UserInfo columns are grouped as Activity Info, Item Info, and User Info everywhere — form sections, designer palettes, and filters.
  • Bulk-selection bar stays one line — on narrow panels and small windows the action buttons collapse into a More menu instead of wrapping, so selecting requests hides less of the list.
  • Counts pluralize correctly. "1 charges" now reads "1 charge" across the Apply Package menu, pickers, dialogs, exports, and the command palette.
  • The status bar clock stays on one line. In a narrow window the date drops out instead of the time wrapping onto multiple lines.
