 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary ===== ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
 +
 +With a major release completed last month, much of October's development was maintenance-oriented: fixing bugs, improving accessibility, and enhancing security features (such as better Content Security Policy support). Some significant ILS driver improvements were merged, to be included in the forthcoming 8.1 release, and a development branch for 9.0 work will likely be started soon to allow more forward-looking changes to be merged together. Work also began on a new user interface translation: Armenian.
 +
 +The free and open [[https://github.com/vufind-org/learning-vufind-book|Learning VuFind®]] book, written by Demian Katz and designed to provide a complete introduction to the software, has been officially released and can be downloaded in PDF format from its official [[https://github.com/vufind-org/learning-vufind-book/releases|releases page]].
 +
 +The [[community:roles_and_responsibilities#project_management_committee|Project Management Committee]] spent much of their [[community:pmc_meetings:minutes20211011|October meeting]] discussing possible actions identified during September's brainstorming sessions. These activities will keep the PMC occupied for months to come. This month, significant progress was made on reducing the size of the video editing backlog, releasing edited recordings of the entire [[community:conferences:summit_2018|2018 VuFind® Summit]] as well as several [[:videos|video tutorials]] from past [[:community_call|Community Calls]]. More recordings are still forthcoming.
 +
 +Planning has been completed for the [[community:conferences:summit_2021|2021 VuFind® Summit]] (to be held November 15-17), and the [[community:conferences:summit_2021#schedule|full schedule]] has been posted. [[https://villanova.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_igzh7t7MStOkoSYeGnMYXA|Registration]] remains open.
