- Conversion of $r in uniform title headings has been changed to bf:keyMode, which was missed in the v3.0 conversion.
- Series Hub descriptions no longer have bflc:Uncontrolled as an added rdf:type.
- Titles in Works now contain all title subfields from the MARC 245 field.
- bf:duration value conforms to xsd:duration datatype (addresses #262)
