<blockquote>
<p>If an SMS notice is not defined for AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST and a patron has selected to receive a digest notification by SMS when items are automatically renewed, it doesn't generate a notice (even though the item(s) is renewed). This fixes the issue so that an email message is generated.</p>

<blockquote>
