 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+In October, VuFind® development focused on completing outstanding work for the 9.0 release, and significant progress was made, including the completion of a significant new feature (optional star ratings), the removal of a number of obsolete/deprecated features, the expansion of the test suite, and the updating of some dependencies (most notably Solr). Additionally, a number of bugs were fixed, and some new security features were introduced (most significantly, the ability to disable user-initiated ILS login in situations where it is not needed -- [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2570|pull request #2570]]).
+The Project Management Committee continued to work on improving documentation (most notably by developing a new [[administration:production_checklist|Production Checklist]] wiki page), on-boarding new Registered Service Providers, managing the Community Call survey (for which results will be forthcoming) and investigating an improved platform for managing the project's internationalization.
