   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-523|VUFIND-523]] - As discussed on the last call, SOLR_HOME handling has been changed in the import scripts; this may require some people to add missing settings to their import/import.properties file.  VuFind 2.0 will auto-configure this file as part of installation.   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-523|VUFIND-523]] - As discussed on the last call, SOLR_HOME handling has been changed in the import scripts; this may require some people to add missing settings to their import/import.properties file.  VuFind 2.0 will auto-configure this file as part of installation.
-  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-525|VUFIND-525]] - Tod Olson remains interested in switching the edition field to be multi-valued in the schema; Demian will look into at least making the PHP code tolerant of either single or multiple values.  Opinions on whether or not to change the default schema would be appreciated.+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-525|VUFIND-525]] - Tod Olson remains interested in switching the edition field to be multi-valued in the schema; Demian will look into at least making the PHP code tolerant of either single or multiple values.  We discussed whether it would make sense to have separate record driver methods for getting single-valued vs. multi-valued editions (i.e getEdition returning string vs. getEditions returning array) but this seems like overkill.  It is probably simpler to have getEdition return an array and adjust all the calling code to handle arrays appropriately.

 VuFind 2.0's install script and SolrMarc configuration have been adjusted so that SolrMarc configurations, translation maps and BeanShell scripts can now reside in a specific local settings directory for easier upgrades.  The XSLT importer has also been ported over and now respects local settings directories. VuFind 2.0's install script and SolrMarc configuration have been adjusted so that SolrMarc configurations, translation maps and BeanShell scripts can now reside in a specific local settings directory for easier upgrades.  The XSLT importer has also been ported over and now respects local settings directories.

 + 
 +There was a discussion about whether it is a good idea to start a new VuFind implementation using the 2.0 code.  Demian does not advise using 2.0 code in production yet, but for development purposes, it should be safe -- although some significant details may change when Zend Framework 2 is released (if we decide to update the framework underlying VuFind 2), the configuration files and basic interfaces should be relatively stable and any changes will be largely syntactical (i.e. introduction of PHP namespaces).  The main area to watch out for is the interface -- depending on how dramatically Zend Framework 2 changes its templating system, this may be the most painful area to upgrade.
