 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+June was another very busy month for the VuFind project, with a focus on updating translations and finishing up existing pull requests in preparation for the 7.0 release on July 20. Major completed projects include substantial accessibility updates, a more flexible CAPTCHA system, Content Security Policy support, and a new-and-improved KohaRest ILS driver. Significant changes include a new default port number for VuFind's Solr instance (the standard Solr 8983, instead of the often-conflicting 8080), the removal of Amazon content support (due to deprecated libraries and lack of interest), and the migration of the Zend-based ZfcRbac authorization library to the equivalent Laminas-based LmcRbacMvc.
+A few items originally slated for VuFind 7 have been rescheduled for VuFind 8 due to insufficient progress: refactoring of the AlphaBrowse Java code did not occur due to other obligations at the University of Chicago, and the Solr 8 upgrade could not proceed due to delays with the SolrMarc project.
+A handful of VuFind 7 changes are still in progress, and should be completed during the early days of July.
