Hi All-

Just wondering if others have noticed that there are a lot of broken bits in the MARC export with 1.3 (haven't tested 1.4 yet). Here's what I've noticed so far.

  1.  The dates of the agent existence are still being pulled from the now deprecated "Dates" field in the Name Form subrecord instead of the Dates of Existence subrecord.
  2.  Multipart notes are not pulling the content from the sub note, so you wind up with a lot of blank bits - e.g.:
     *       <datafield ind1=" " ind2=" " tag="500"/>

    <datafield ind1=" " ind2=" " tag="500">
      <subfield code="a">Processing Information: </subfield>
    </datafield>
    <datafield ind1=" " ind2=" " tag="500">
      <subfield code="a">Processing Information: </subfield>
    </datafield>
    <datafield ind1=" " ind2=" " tag="506"/>
    <datafield ind1="2" ind2=" " tag="520"/>

Just wondering if this is a local to us issue and - if not - if I've missed a bug report or three in the tracker? If I haven't missed the bug report(s)...guess its time to file a couple!

Thanks!
Joshua
