This release note describes updates to Cicero LMS released with version 1.53.0, 2026-05-12.
The target audience is super users and system administrators.
New functionality
FBS-27566 Patron import - Extended automation of updating students who change schools
New configuration options have been added to the configuration for patron import under F6->Patrons->Patron import to make data cleanup easier when students have left the school.
It is now possible to specify whether you want to do the following in connection with the patron import:
- Delete patrons in Expired status who have outstanding items with the library. Outstanding items are closed in the same way as with manual forced deletion - see further details in the linked guides below
- Delete reservations for patrons who change branch (school). Reservations are deleted at the branch the patron is leaving.
By default, these are set to not be enabled, so patron import works as before until the configuration is changed.
Note that it may be inappropriate to enable deletion of reservations if you have patrons who are imported to multiple schools simultaneously, as these patrons can often be moved between schools by the patron import and therefore lose their reservations.
The settings apply to all types of import, i.e. from CSV file or from an external service.
FBS-33123 CMS API: Patron ID can now be included when resetting PIN code
In the CMS API, a v2 version of the API endpoint for resetting PIN code has been added - /resetPincode/v2. In the new version, in addition to an email address, you can include an optional patron identifier. If this is specified, the specified email must be found on the patron that matches the patron identifier, otherwise no reset email is sent.
This version handles the case where multiple patrons may share the same email address.
FBS-32539 Upgraded generation of CMS API documentation
The code for generating documentation for the CMS API has been upgraded. There may be visual differences in the display of the documentation, but otherwise there are no changes.
FBS-31525 Updated configuration for minimum period between loan and check-in
"Minimum period between loan and check-in" can now be specified in two separate configurations:
- Minimum period between loan and check-in, interlibrary loan
- Minimum period between loan and check-in, other loans
During rollout, the value set in the current configuration is retained in the configuration "Minimum period between loan and check-in, other loans".
FBS-31552 Changed distribution of Cicero client
From now on, updates to the Cicero LMS client will be delivered from our Azure Blob Storage container instead of the application server. When installing version 1.53.0, the client is automatically configured to fetch future updates from the new placement.
Libraries that need special rules in their firewall to be able to use Cicero should allow access to the new addresses, which can be found at Nätverks- och brandväggskonfiguration
