March was an extremely active month for VuFind developments, with a focus on bug fixing and general code quality improvements, as well as the addition of some new features like the “Bookplates” related record module and a more readable configuration format for Javascript required by themes. The project to enable compatibility between VuFind and Composer 2 was completed, keeping the project up to date with current PHP best practices.
The other major development of the month was the acceptance of the VuFind Governance Document; with no further comments on the draft shared earlier in the year, the VuFind Project Management Committee was officially formed, and the group will work to get the documentation formalized in VuFind's Git repository and on the website over the coming weeks.
