| - | Blended search -- the ability to create a single result list combining records from multiple backends -- is now available in the dev-9.0 branch and will be a major new feature of VuFind 9.0. If you are interested in this capability, please test out the dev-9.0 branch and provide feedback.

| + | * Ere is working on an approach that allows authority IDs to be used in parallel with records that don't have authority IDs. This allows very specific matching without excluding less rich records.

| + | Lionel had some questions about progress on single-page applications based on the VuFind API. Demian is not aware of further work being done in this area. He noted that the existing VuFind API should be able to support a fairly robust search-oriented SPA, but significant additional work is needed to support additional features like user functionality (since authentication would need to be implemented). | ||
