These settings can be turned off and on via the Preferences:
- New Debug Messages being surfaced from the engine if compilation fails. Most importantly, the tool will try to provide a record number of the failure.
- OCLC API — new debugging messages and a new validation option to ensure users have access to the Registry API. This is now required, and I’m running into folks that are having trouble generating authentication tokens because their keys only have access to Search and Metadata.
- OCLC API — more debugging information captured. When things do fail, hopefully the additional debugging information will help identify where that is occurring.
- (*) COM Updates

- CorrectSmartQuotes [(default)true|false]
- CorrectMaskedMnemonics [(default)true|false]

- More debugging messages available
- New “runs as administrator” button added to the Upper right if the installation is an “admin” install, and thus, needs admin permissions to reset .mrc, .mrk, .mrk8 extensions
- Reset button added — this will reset file associations back to install (if you have correct permissions). It does the following:

- Necessary Permissions from OCLC for OCLC Integration (since these changes July 1)

- example: cmarcedit.exe -split -help
- Updating command list help command to include supported switches for:
