                   |                            |couldn't save the record -
                   |                            |as subfield $t was
                   |                            |mandatory, even though the

                   |                            |note: This only affects NEW
                   |                            |UNIMARC installations.
                   |                            |Existing installations
                   |                            |should edit their default
                   |                            |UNIMARC framework to make
                   |                            |these changes (although, it
                   |                            |is likely that they have
                   |                            |already done so).

--- Comment #44 from David Nind <[email protected]> ---
I've had a go at a release note. (I hope I got the example right.)

Feel free to edit it, if I haven't correctly understood the change!

(There are a lot of nuances here, but I tried not into too many details.)
