Scheduled JIRA Tickets (release 10.0)
Architectural Enhancements
- VUFIND-1614 - Modernize PubDateVisAjax recommendation module
- Status: will probably get pushed forward, but Demian will leave it here for now in case we make progress.
- VUFIND-1653 - schema.org markup causes trouble when there are no holdings or reviews
- Status: Needs more investigation. Can we refactor to a helper? Demian and Ere will evaluate if time permits. If a simple “disable it by configuration” solution can be implemented for 10.0, we can investigate more nuanced approaches later. There was also discussion about whether or not Google evaluates Javascript before interpreting schema.org markup; Ere's experience suggests that they do, since he has gotten feedback from Google on markup that is only available in an AJAX-loaded record tab.
Smaller Fixes/Improvements
- VUFIND-1521 - Add id validation to ILL requests and storage retrieval requests
- Status: Ere or Demian will try to do this if time permits.
- VUFIND-1607 - Embedded records (in results list) have invalid aria and/or role attributes
- Status: This is an unavoidable problem in Bootstrap 3; we should investigate whether Bootstrap 5 improves the situation.
- VUFIND-1651 - Address Java deprecation of finalize() method in UpdateDateTracker.java
- Status: Maccabee and Demian will look into if/when time permits.
- VUFIND-1667 - Modal close button doesn't want to let focus go
- Status: Chris should investigate.
- VUFIND-1668 - Moravian Library Accessibility Report (Progress Tracking)
- Status: some parts of this will likely get deferred to future releases, but please review sub-tickets and claim parts that you have time to work on, if possible.
