Version 1.3.21 release notes

As was announced previously on this blog, the major change with this release is how certain Work attributes are derived. In general, attributes such as title and onsale for any Work representation are now pulled from the "frontlistiest" ISBN rather than strictly the oldest one. In addition, we've added a new data element to the Work representation called firstOnsale which exposes the same date that previously had been used to populate onsale.

        "workId": 335003,
        "title": "The Sum of All Fears",

        "contribRoleDesc": null,
        "seriesNumber": null,
        "firstOnsale": "2002-05-07",

Additionally, a change was made to the PEEPS view that exposes the contributor role as part of the authors array.
