 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+This month's focus was on finishing up outstanding issues to enable a February release of VuFind 7.1. The biggest new feature of the release, [[configuration:record_versions|Record Versions]], was completed, and significant progress was made on updating dependencies and improving compatibility. On the subject of compatibility, VuFind was tested with PHP 8, and two small bugs were fixed as a result; the only known outstanding issue is related to a bug in the laminas-db dependency, which should be fixed soon.
+In parallel with the work on the impending 7.1 release, progress was also made on features that will be found in release 8.0: this includes significant improvements to citation generation and progress on raising the minimum PHP version to 7.3.
+Along with progress on technical developments, the volunteers in the VuFind Community Planning Group have made significant progress on drafting a formal VuFind Governance Document; a draft will be shared for broader public comment at the February, 2021 Community Call. If you are unable to attend that meeting, watch for the minutes to find a link to the document.
