=== Release 4.1.2 ===

The release was made yesterday in response to a security issue in Solr (and to make a few other bug fixes available). See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/commit/aedcfdef6e2a60b43d01418c058ffff0a4ed0f38|this commit]] for details of the workaround. A more permanent fix will be achieved when we upgrade to Solr 7.
==== 2. Development Planning ====

=== 5.0 Roadmap Progress ===

== ServiceManager v3 Upgrade ==

Work continues on updating services in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1067|PR #1067]]. During the process, Demian discovered that the command line utilities were broken due to Zend refactoring; the issue has been corrected, but the entire zend-mvc-console module is now deprecated and should eventually be replaced with something that will be maintained long-term.

== Solr 7 ==

The SolrMarc fixes for Solr 7 support have been merged to master (and from there to [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1082|PR #1082]]). Demian will resume work on the Solr upgrade after the Zend Framework updates are completed.

=== Image Metadata API ===

No one has had a chance to work on this for some time, so we will remove it from the agenda until it becomes a priority again.

=== Front End Updates ===

Nothing new, but Chris will review the pending pull requests today.

=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===

No updates this week.

=== Geographic Improvements ===

Leila has been making good progress on replacing OpenLayers with Leaflet for geographic displays. The eventual plan is to make this change in master. She also shared an [[http://statesurveys.americangeosciences.org/vufind/|example]] of this new code in action.
==== 3. Institutional Home ====

No news.
==== 4. Other Topics? ====

We welcomed Sebastian, a new developer taking on some of the work previously performed by André Lahmann.
===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, February 13, 2018 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
