Changes, improvements and fixes

• Batch Uploader [ILS, DA, RDM, IR]: When scheduling batch uploads to run at a specific time on systems with a defined runtime for batch upload tasks, a timing conflict could occur delaying the uploads an additional day. This conflict has been resolved.

• Facets [ILS, DA, RDM, IR]: Fixed a bug that caused the date slider in the Date facet to stretch across the page.

• Static Pages [ILS, DA, RDM, IR]: Static pages could not be created in Chinese. This has now been fixed.  

• Acquisitions - Order editor [ILS]: Items can now be suppressed directly from the order line editor.

• Acquisitions - Order editor [ILS]: The Order form now rejects invalid expected arrival dates.

• Global Lists [ILS]: Order lines without an invoice date paid displayed value "Invalid date" in the Acquisitions Global List. It now displays as empty.

• Circulation - Item API [ILS]: The Item API field number_of_requests value is in fact the number of historical loans for the item, not the number of hold requests. An additional field, number_of_hold_requests, has been added and this returns the total number of actual hold requests. The number_of_requests still returns the total number of loans, and has not been renamed to ensure backwards compatibility.

• Circulation [ILS]: Fixed issue with inconsistent status updates on items with barcodes starting with non-numerical prefix characters like +.
