Highlights include more work on improving PHP 8 compatibility, support for a new cover image provider ([[https://www.base-orb.fr/|Orb]]), a variety of improvements to ILS drivers, and various bug fixes and architectural improvements. Work was also begun on making VuFind's internal search service more flexible and easier to understand by applying the Command Pattern.
