Thanks Bill! MassLNC has tested the following features in this branch and confirmed that they all work as expected:

1. The preferred name and name keywords save as expected.
2. The preferred name displays in a logical manner in the patron summary sidebar and in the public catalog.
3. Print templates and action trigger notices can be configured to use preferred names, if one is present on the patron record. Preferred names are also available in reports.
4. Preferred names move to lead record during patron merge if no preferred name exists on the lead record. Name keywords move to the lead record and are deduplicated.
5. In patron search, first name now searches both primary and preferred first names, last name searches both primary and preferred last name, etc. Name Keywords searches all of these name fields, including the new name keywords fields. This new search field handles punctuation in the same way as the other patron search fields and also provides a left-anchored search.
6. Preferred name fields are available on the self-registration form.

I have added my signoff to the branch at http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/kmlussier/lp1776020-patron-pref-name-signoff

I have not yet merged it because I would like to give somebody who was uninvolved in the project a chance to review it.

Thanks again Bill! Our libraries are going to love this new feature!
