We’re pleased to announce that the next release of Soprano is now available for preview. This release includes:

• Manual return date showing the previous year
• Underlying security improvements (no changes in the Soprano interface)

Manual return date showing the previous year
When an item is being returned to a manual return date, the system now shows the previous year as well as the current year in the year drop down. This is to enable things returned just after the New Year to be returned to a date in the previous year, if required. The year drop down will always default to the current year.
