 +
 +June was another active month for VuFind development, with a lot of effort focused on ILS functionality, including expanding VuFind's holds capabilities to include editing, adding support for call number prefixes, and enhancing a number of ILS drivers. Other significant changes include a revision of the low-level search service to use the Command Pattern, an update to EBSCO URLs to support HTTPS (reflecting upcoming changes in EBSCO access policies), improvements to some of the project's automated testing processes, and a number of bug fixes.
 +
 +June also saw the free online WOLFcon event, which included several VuFind-related sessions. If you missed it, you can find video in the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMocoPoiGkwcT-PTnAX8g4XxhaIUn3C3j|WOLFcon 2021 VuFind Playlist]].
 +
 +The next bug fix release, 7.1.1, will be issued on Monday, July 5th. The next major release, 8.0, is expected later in the summer; a more precise date will be determined soon.
 +
 +The Project Management Committee continues to meet monthly; their next tasks include final planning for the 8.0 release, organizing the 2021 VuFind Summit, and preparing for future training activities.
