-The latest release of OpenSSL (3.0) has deprecated Blowfish encryption, which is VuFind's default for encrypting ILS credentials. See [[https://openlibraryfoundation.atlassian.net/browse/VUFIND-1563|VUFIND-1563]] for a workaround.

 Josef reported the results of an accessibility audit done for the Czech community. VuFind® is one of the best catalogs in terms of accessibility, though there are still some minor problems need to be addressed.
