Evergreen 2.8 and Evergreen 2.10.2
If you have a patron barcode that starts with a letter it cannot be used to login to My Account.
This is an issue for patrons with barcodes that are prefixed with letters. ie. MPL1234 (for Maple Public Library).
I think this is related some or all of the following:

As a work-around, the opac.barcode_regex library setting could be used to identify cases where patron barcodes start with something other than a digit. E.g., if any string that starts with either a digit or with MPL is (likely) a barcode, you could use something like "^(\d|MPL)" as the regex.
This isn't perfect, however -- if there are other patrons not belonging to MPL who nonetheless have usernames starting with "MPL", they would not be able to log in using their username.
