 ====== VuFind Newsletter: February, 2021 ======
-:!: This document is a draft and is still subject to change.
 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
-...
+February's primary focus was on completing the [[:changelog#release_71_-_2_22_2021|VuFind 7.1]] release, which was made available on schedule on Monday, February 22.
+At the same time that VuFind 7.1 was being finished, work on code for VuFind 8.0 continued. Significant new features include the ability to cache Solr responses locally within VuFind for improved performance, support for MySQL SSL connections, and a number of smaller fixes and improvements.
+Another significant February project was an upgrade to PHPUnit 9 and an overhaul of VuFind's test suite to clarify its organization and eliminate some outdated and confusing elements. This sets a solid foundation for a discussion of testing which will begin during the video tutorial portion of the next [[:community_call|Community Call]].
+Finally, the VuFind Community Planning Group released their [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1udsczuJvMFm7GibUBzf1w54ej_9hXyTA3UhR_tzom9c/edit?usp=sharing|first Governance Document draft]] on time, as mentioned in last month's newsletter. This draft will be discussed (and likely approved) at the March [[:community_call|Community Call]]. Please join us there, or comment on the draft before the meeting, if you have input you would like to share.
