-:!: This document is currently a draft and is subject to change.
 ===== Development Highlights and Project News =====
 ==== Development Progress ====
+Even though development was somewhat curtailed by holiday vacations, significant progress was made during December, including nine more bug fixes for inclusion in release 9.1.1, and several new features and updates for release 10.0. Highlights include modernization of the Primo Central connector and alphabetic browse handlers, support for ILS-driven bound-with titles, and simplification of hierarchical facet code. Several long-standing projects saw noteworthy forward progress, including translation system improvements which will help support translation of language names, and incremental steps toward an upgrade away from the outdated Bootstrap 3 library.
