VuFind Community Call Minutes: February 4, 2020

Attending: Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, Claas Kazzer

Agenda

1. Development Planning

VuFind 6.1 Release

The latest release went out on schedule. Please upgrade when time permits and report any bugs!

Zend Framework / Laminas Transition

Progress continues on Laminas migration in pull request #1537. The migration project continues to run smoothly so far.

Raising PHP Requirement

PHP 7.1 has reached end of life; Demian proposes raising VuFind's minimum PHP requirement to 7.2 with VuFind 7.0. This will allow us to update some of VuFind's other dependencies more effectively (including some components related to the Laminas transition).

Newsletter Highlights

The January, 2020 Newsletter was discussed.

WOLFcon Report

The first year of VuFind at WOLFcon was discussed (as summarized in the January, 2020 Newsletter).

Accessibility Improvements

Some logistics of the accessibility improvement project (pull request #1543) were discussed. Claas and Chris are collaborating on the work, and changes will be backported to release-5.1 and then merged forward to release-6.1 and master so that improvements will be available for users of 5.x, 6.x and “bleeding edge” code.

Browse Handler Optimizations

No news.

2. Video Tutorial: Solr Search Customization

A video was recorded covering the basics of customizing VuFind search and facet configurations.

3. Other Topics?

None this month.

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
