VuFind Developers Call Minutes: March 22, 2011

Attending: Lutz Biedinger, Demian Katz, Daniel Lovins, Tuan Nguyen, Eoghan Ó Carragáin, Sean Purcell, Preetha Rao, Graham Seaman

Agenda

1. VuFind 1.1 Release

VuFind 1.1 was released on 3/21 with no problems yet (other than a minor last-minute fix to the DEB package). Demian retested install documentation on fresh installs of Ubuntu and Fedora and made minor adjustments to bring them up to date. The demo install has been updated to the new version. Please try the new release and report any issues if you notice them.

2. Integration Testing Update

Preetha has switched from using the PEAR Selenium testing library to using the built in PHPUnit Selenium support; this works much better. A new set of sample tests has been committed to the trunk and have passed successfully in Hudson.

Documentation on the tests can be found on the unit tests page of the wiki.

3. New JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-389 - use MARC linking fields in record view; will probably be committed very soon.
  • VUFIND-390 - Horde/YAML library is no longer available through PEAR; now bundled with trunk, but should be replaced with something else eventually.
  • VUFIND-391 - configurable recommendations modules in Author module; committed already and included in 1.1 release.
  • VUFIND-392 - Content Café cover support; committed already and included in 1.1 release.
  • VUFIND-393 - memory problems with large OAI-PMH harvests; fixed in 1.1 release.
  • VUFIND-394 - duplicate ticket about install script problems; no action needed.

4. New Mobile Theme

Tuan expressed interest in building a new mobile theme using the jQuery Mobile library.

5. Plug-in Architecture

Demian has ordered another set of books on Zend and is continuing to think about a new architecture. Once the books arrive and he is done reading, he will begin building a prototype to demonstrate key features.

6. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (GMT - 4:00).
