In November, the 2021 Virtual VuFind Summit was held, and several tickets were added and updated based on the Summit's roadmapping session. All slides from the Summit have been posted on the event's wiki page, along with a link to video recordings (which, as of this writing, are still in the process of being added).
Further progress was made on VuFind's video editing backlog, with full video posted from the 2019 VuFind Summit, and all outstanding video tutorials completed (bringing the total to 21 tutorials).
This month also saw the release of VuFind 8.0.2, another minor bug fix release that patches a handful of issues discovered since the release of 8.0.1.
The month's code changes include more bug fixes/improvements, the completion of the Armenian translation, various ILS driver improvements, and the introduction of a new admin-oriented API for cache clearing. A development branch for VuFind 9.0 has been established so that work on the next major release can begin in parallel with feature enhancements for VuFind 8.1.
The Project Management Committee has opened a survey about Discovery Platform Use, intended to help understand community needs/preferences and prioritize future work. Please take a few minutes to participate if you have not already.
