=== 5.0 Roadmap Progress ===

The code is frozen (apart from pending ILS driver additions), but Demian has worked on a couple of bug fixes.

=== Front End Updates ===

Chris has opted to close many of his open front-end-related pull requests, as functionality has either already made its way into master or is no longer needed. Chris also worked on a few minor bug fixes.

=== ILS Support Updates ===

Chris has been working on testing the Alma driver. He has working credentials but needs to complete indexing so the testing can be done.

=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===
