 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary ===== ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
  
 +==== New Release ====
 +
 +June saw the release of VuFind® 9.0.2, which incorporates all of the minor bug fixes made during May and June.
 +
 +==== Development Progress ====
 +
 +Additionally, significant amounts of development effort were put into features to be included in VuFind® 9.1, and a separate development branch was established to begin work on larger changes for VuFind® 10.0. Highlights of the month's development include the addition of two new search backends (one for the LibGuides databases A-Z list, another for EBSCO's Publication Finder), code to increase the flexibility of item status messages, accessibility improvements, and a variety of ILS driver and dependency updates.
 +
 +Development will likely slow down for the next two months as summer vacations reduce the number of available developers, but work will proceed nonetheless.
 +
 +==== Project Management Committee Report ====
 +
 +The the June Project Management Committee meeting, the group discussed strategies for offering training to the community. They also continued ongoing work on documentation, conference planning and more.
 +
 +The PMC also voted to add Maccabee Levine, the contributor of the two new search backends added this month, as a project committer. (Also note that if you or a developer you know is interested in gaining committer status, you can talk to an existing committer -- including any current PMC member -- about receiving a nomination).
 +
 +==== VuFind® Summit 2023 / WOLFcon ====
 +
 +The call for papers for the [[community:conferences:summit_2023|2023 VuFind® Summit]] has closed, and enough submissions were received to prepare a full program. The talks will be held as part of [[https://openlibraryfoundation.org/about/wolfcon/upcoming/|WOLFcon 2023]], for which registration is still open (for both in-person participation and free virtual participation). Please plan to join us one way or another for the event, to be held on August 22-24 (with most VuFind® sessions likely taking place on the 23rd and 24th). A more detailed schedule will be forthcoming.
