  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-756|VUFIND-756]] - This ticket proposes normalizing Unicode in SolrMarc; relevant configuration settings are described on the ticket.  We should discuss whether or not this makes sense as a default setting.

  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-761|VUFIND-761]] - This ticket proposes adjusting the coding standards to support a new documentation feature; the outstanding question is how to approach the problem (can this be done by configuring continuous integration, or do we need to tackle it from the PHPCS end?).
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-762|VUFIND-762]] - A bug in which empty parens in search queries caused a fatal Solr error has been fixed in 2.0.  A similar bug involving freestanding hyphens has also been fixed.

==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ====

Demian has been working more heavily on search refactoring.  Summon and WorldCat have been reimplemented using David's new model, eliminating some of the \VuFind\Connection\* classes.

Zend Framework has been upgraded to version 2.1.4, which should hopefully finally fix the lingering PHP 5.3.3 compatibility headaches.

Partial Swedish/Finnish translations have been added courtesy of National Library of Finland.

Benjamin reported that Keystone Library Network is now running in production with VF2.
