 +
 +April maintained the high amount of development activity seen in March, with more bug fixing and code quality improvements, plus the completion of some new features, ILS driver adjustments, and user interface tweaks. Highlights include the ability to display attribution on third-party cover images; visible status indicators for public lists; significant progress on alternate script (MARC 880) support; richer XML sitemap generation; and a new "permalink" button on the record page.
 +
 +This month also saw the first meeting of the newly-constituted Project Management Committee ([[community:pmc_meetings:minutes20210412|minutes here]]). The committee has been working on polishing up community-related documentation (including the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/GOVERNANCE.md|Governance Document]], [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md|Code of Conduct]], and [[community:roles_and_responsibilities|Roles and Responsibilities page]]). Planning is also underway for this year's virtual [[https://openlibraryfoundation.org/about/wolfcon/upcoming/|WOLFcon conference]], to be held June 1-3.
