The release went out slightly early. A couple more minor bugs were discovered after the release, so a 3.0.2 release will be necessary in the near future.
The rendering of search results/list items has been adjusted slightly to simplify markup and add some features; see this commit.
This feature (PR #678) has been merged to master. It's currently on by default in the form of a “see all” link within expanded facet lists. It can either be turned off entirely or made more prominent by switching it to pop open on the initial “more” link.
Not a lot of progress in past two weeks, but Chris is currently working on “theme packing” feature which compiles a tree of themes into a single directory to speed up retrieval by eliminating file searches.
Chris also reiterated emphasis on simplicity in default Grunt implementation.
Demian and Chris have made progress on display of thumbnails and navigation of results. More work still to be done!
Chris has set up some ESLint rules in PR #700 and is adjusting JS in a rule-by-rule fashion. He has a separate branch (not pushed yet) where Travis is checking ESLint and the build is passing. Please post to #700 or email Chris if you have strong feelings about this; otherwise, the style changes will go in place this week.
Next step after JS cleanup: template styling.
Bootstrap3-list pull request (full records embedded in search results) should be merged very soon. Demian thanks all involved in its development.
Ere reports that National Library of Finland search API is in production, well-received so far. Some work on CORS still needed. A PR is forthcoming after some cleanup and work on configurability.
Demian did some cleanup of VuFindHttp and VuFindCode to bring those in line with the main VuFind project. No other major changes.
No news this week.
Work continues on PR #608.
Leila reports that geographic search and display code using OpenLayers 3 all complete and working well. Search allows search by bounding box. Display shows polygons and/or points with pop-up labels. Currently working on moving some functionality into config.ini file so labels can be turned on/off, etc. A couple of odd things: order of stored coordinates differs from how they are displayed (quirk of OpenLayers).
Some discussion about the possibility of making label retrieval more configurable, supporting multiple data sources.
README and Wiki have been updated; further suggestions welcomed.
Demian has updated the DocValues pull request (#588) to work with Solr 5; however, there is still a question as to whether this is needed at all. Demian proposes closing the PR and moving the work to a feature branch.
Ere brought up SOLR-9176, which references an existing Solr 5/6 faceting problem.
There was further discussion about changes related to docValues (and the murkiness of this subject). It was decided to leave the PR open for now as a point of discussion.
Another issue mentioned for future discussion: the new JSON facet interface.
Now that Chris and Demian have standardized the integration test workflow using Selenium, there are a number of tests that cannot pass in ZombieJS due to missing features. Demian checked to see if anyone objected to making Selenium the default integration test option and removing ZombieJS-related functionality from CI configuration.
No objections.
Investigation of the subject continues. No major news as yet.
The VuFind Summit will take place at Villanova on October 10-11, 2016. This overlaps with the annual German VuFind meeting; Demian and Jochen will investigate whether we can take advantage of this fact.
André and Oliver plan on opening a pull request this week with an updated DAIA driver and the first release of the new PAIA driver.
The next call will be Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
