Attending:

The April, 2023 Newsletter was discussed.

Release 9.0 (and subsequently 9.0.1) were released on April 24. The 9.0.1 release addresses bugs in the Blowfish –> AES encryption conversion during the upgrade process and was released as soon as problems were discovered (during updating of the public demo instance) to reduce potential disruption to end users.

This month's goal was to review PR's without milestones assigned, and determine which should be scheduled for 9.1 and 10.0 (and identify whether any are obsolete).

• #413: Translation of language field in record-related templates
  • Next steps: requires creating of appropriate language files to translate language names; requires agreement on an indexing strategy to ensure that all language values are stored consistently in Solr.
• #1116: Better support for Koha status “NOT FOR LOAN”
  • Next step: backport functionality from KohaRest (if appropriate) or close (if no longer needed).
• #1230: Open ID Connect implementation (for authentication).
  • Next step: finish implementation
• #1324: Use Citation Style Language (CSL) in Citation view helper
  • Next steps: update dependencies; determine configuration format and backward compatibility approach; finish polishing implementation
• #1680: Display flash message on login
  • Next steps: resolve conflicts; fix lightbox problems which currently prevent this from working consistently.
• #1764: Use Psalm for static code analysis
  • Next steps: decide whether this adds significant value beyond what phpstan already offers; work through outstanding problems if worth keeping.
• #1886: Add search backend QueryAnalysisInterface and GetSearchTermsCommand
  • Next steps: resolve conflicts; finish review process

We should review all tickets and PR's scheduled for 9.1 and begin assigning work to move the release development forward.

The next call will be Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
