 ==== 5. Open Q&A / Other Topics? ====
-Demian mentioned the PHPUnit 10 upgrade and removal of the AutoRetryTrait.
+Demian mentioned that the PHPUnit 10 upgrade was completed and merged today; due to internal changes to the framework, it was necessary to remove the AutoRetryTrait formerly used by Mink tests. Thanks to Ere's test stability improvements, this should not be a major loss.
-Maccabee is having trouble with the spell check component; he is not happy with the results coming from Solr and is interested in whether people have advice on improving the quality of suggestions. Demian mentioned that VuFind's default spell checking is based on the old spelling-index-based method; there was work done at a past Summit to switch to the live lookup method, but it was never contributed back to the project. Ere mentioned that Finna is using custom code to utilize live lookups, but the results are fairly low-quality. One obvious alternative would be to use an external spell-checker, but you still need a mechanism for integrating suggestions with the index to ensure that they will actually yield useful results.

Mario speculated that some spelling problems might be the result of interaction between the spelling component and certain filters (stemming, etc.). Ere suggested that looking at the source code may be necessary due to the lack of documentation.
