=== VuFind 5.1 Release Date ===

With the release of SolrMarc 3.2 and the completion of most of our open tickets, it seems realistic to schedule a VuFind 5.1 release for early in the new year. Demian proposed February 4, 2019, to allow time over January to finish open issues and collect translation strings.

==== 2. Development Planning ====

=== ILS Support Updates ===

No news.

=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===

There has been significant discussion on [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind-browse-handler/pull/23|vufind-browse-handler PR #23]] and [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1314|VUFIND-1314]].

=== Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) ===

Demian has not had time to work on this any further; we will try to have a longer discussion at the next meeting.

=== 5.1 / 6.0 Roadmapping ===

Demian and Chris still need to find time to do a comprehensive update of the project board, but Demian has been focusing on cleaning up outstanding 5.1 issues so we can make a release -- more work can be done once that slate is cleared.

==== 3. Other Topics? ====

===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
