 ====== VuFind® Newsletter: February, 2024 ======
-:!: This document is currently a draft and is subject to change.
 ===== Development Highlights and Project News =====
+==== Release 9.1.1 ====
+VuFind® 9.1.1 was released on February 12. In addition to a number of significant bug fixes, it also adds Mongolian language support and some important forward-compatibility updates needed to support authentication in future FOLIO versions.
 ==== Development Progress ====
+In addition to the work needed to complete release 9.1.1 (and the addition of more bug fixes that may be incorporated in a future 9.1.2 release), development efforts in February made significant progress on the eventual 10.0 release.
+The month's work had a strong focus on tooling, with the PHPUnit test framework upgraded to version 10, many tests updated and improved, and the speed of style analysis and correction improved with the help of caching. This work helps to make the project more developer-friendly and to prevent future errors.
+There was also time to complete work on a couple of significant new features: the addition of an AccountMenu.yaml configuration file for customization of the user account menu, and the introduction of a filter textbox control in facet list pop-ups (helpful for narrowing down very long facet lists).
 ==== Project Management Committee Report ====
+During the February meeting, the Project Management Committee began developing a plan for keeping documentation up to date on an ongoing basis. They also continued work on planning VuFind® activities for WOLFcon and the German VuFind® Summit this fall. Progress was also made on experimenting with artificial intelligence and planning development of an article about the project's governance experiences.
