 ====== VuFind Newsletter: July, 2021 ======
-:!: This document is a draft and is subject to change.
 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+VuFind 7.1.1 was released on schedule at the beginning of the month. The rest of the month was devoted to preparing for VuFind 8.0. While a formal release date has not been set, progress was made on all outstanding issues, several pending improvements requiring backward-compatibility-breaking changes were completed, and the process of updating translations has begun. A major new feature of the 8.0 release, the [[indexing:csv|CSV import tool]], was also completed. Work on 8.0 development and planning will continue in August, and the announcement of a release date should be expected soon.
+As has been the case for the past few months, ongoing improvements to ILS drivers as well as a handful of bug fixes were also contributed to the project in July.
+In addition to supporting the VuFind 8.0 planning process, the Project Management Committee has continued to discuss project membership benefits and training programs and has also begun planning for the [[community:conferences:summit_2021|2021 Virtual VuFind Summit]], which will be held online from November 15-17. More details on that, including a call for papers, will also be coming soon.
