Version 1.2.26 release notes

The /works/views/list-display representation contains two different ISBN fields, one is part of the frontlistiest object and the other is just called isbn. The frontlistiest object is always the frontlistiest title of the work (i.e. seq=1) regardless of what title filters have been specified as part of the request. On the other hand, the isbn element contains a member of the title family that also satisfies all of the specified fllter conditions. We got a request to return the on-sale date that corresponds to isbn and I immediately regretted the choice to not make isbn an object like frontliestiest is. So while we've left isbn as-is, we've added a new element called representative that has the same structure as frontlistiest but which contains the same ISBN as isbn as well as its on-sale date.

        "isbn": 9780763687649,

UK titles (i.e. domains PRH.UK, RH.UK and PDK.UK) now have proper cover computed for some (though not all) endpoints.

There was a new content field added to MyHouse called PRODUCT_FEATURE that is now available as part of  /titles/{isbn}/content. It has also been exposed in the /works/{workId}/views/product-display view as part of the additionalText element.
