VuFind Newsletter: February, 2020

Highlights / Executive Summary

VuFind 6.1 was released on schedule at the beginning of the month. Since that time, a few bugs have been found and fixed (so a 6.1.1 release will be forthcoming), and work on 7.0 has begun, with several outstanding pull requests being merged.

The work on migrating from Zend Framework to Laminas has reached a point of stability, and should be merged following the March Community Call, provided no one objects in the meantime. Once the Laminas update is merged, a pull request will be opened to begin tracking progress on migrating from Zend\Console to Symfony\Console as the mechanism for running command-line utilities.

The project to improve VuFind's theme has also ramped up, with significant work underway on improving accessibility and adding new view helpers to improve readability and extensibility of templates.

Finally, several ILS driver improvements have been made, including significant work on making the FOLIO driver fully functional as that project approaches more widespread adoption.
