Comment 10 for bug 2008834

So I've got something worked up for hiding the strict barcode checkbox via org setting. The offline mode will need testing & may need to be changed. The way it currently works (and this may be fine) is the workstation needs to have logged into the staff client & access either the checkin, checkout or renew pages in order to cache the setting required for the offline mode to work correctly.

I wanted to write up some release notes for this. I'm still learning how Evergreen handles everything but I wanted to push my code so it can be tested and we can ascertain if this is correct or if it still needs work. It's mainly the offline mode I'm concerned about. Then I write some docs/release notes.

The org setting is located at
Administration -> Local Administration -> Library Settings Editor -> Hide Strict Barcode checkbox on patron checkout/checkin/renew screens

Here's my branch
