* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-504|VUFIND-504]] - This ticket relates to limitations of VuFind's tag search; the problem is partially fixed in VuFind 2.0, so Demian has closed the ticket -- some remaining problems are already addressed by [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-106|VUFIND-106]]. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-504|VUFIND-504]] - This ticket relates to limitations of VuFind's tag search; the problem is partially fixed in VuFind 2.0, so Demian has closed the ticket -- some remaining problems are already addressed by [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-106|VUFIND-106]]. |

| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-747|VUFIND-747]] - Luke has posted a proposed VuFind 2 breadcrumb helper here -- please review and comment. |
* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-748|VUFIND-748]] - This ticket was opened as a result of last week's discussion about possibly changing the location of VuFind's language files; please vote/comment if you have an opinion. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-748|VUFIND-748]] - This ticket was opened as a result of last week's discussion about possibly changing the location of VuFind's language files; please vote/comment if you have an opinion. |

| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-750|VUFIND-750]] - This ticket contains a patch for exporting checked out item due dates to a calendar (Outlook, etc.). This was implemented on 1.x; if someone has time to port to 2.0, that would be a big help. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-751|VUFIND-751]] - This ticket tracks a small bug in the VF2 Admin module (login redirects to the wrong page). |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-752|VUFIND-752]] - This ticket tracks a small bug in \VuFind\Config\Writer (multiple instances of the same value are not handled correctly). |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-753|VUFIND-753]] - This ticket proposes indexing language codes in addition to (or instead of) indexing their English-language names to simplify internationalization. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-754|VUFIND-754]] - This ticket provides a patch to enhance the NewGenLib driver; Demian has passed it along to the NewGenLib team for approval. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-755|VUFIND-755]] - This ticket provides a mechanism for showing the user currently holding a checked out item (currently NewGenLib-only); obviously not a desirable standard feature for libraries concerned about privacy, but possibly of interest in some specialized situations. |

==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ==== | ==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ==== |
Demian has changed VuFind's vendor/ directory to match the layout generated by [[http://getcomposer.org|Composer]] and has included a composer.json file which allows regeneration of the directory from remote repositories. Hopefully this will simplify dependency management and make it easier for people to add additional dependencies locally. | Demian has changed VuFind's vendor/ directory to match the layout generated by [[http://getcomposer.org|Composer]] and has included a composer.json file which allows regeneration of the directory from remote repositories.

The code has been upgraded to a new Zend Framework version once again -- 2.1.3 was released shortly after 2.1.2 to address some compatibility bugs. | The code has been upgraded to a new Zend Framework version once again -- 2.1.3 was released shortly after 2.1.2 to address some compatibility bugs. It seems that some people are still having problems with PHP 5.3.3, however -- investigation is ongoing. |
| |
| Demian is continuing to collaborate with David on search refactoring -- the \VuFind\Connection\Solr* classes are gradually being phased out. |
| |
| Demian has completely eliminated static calls to \VuFind\Config\Reader in favor of injecting configurations. This should make code more flexible and testable, though in some cases it increases verbosity. |

==== 3. Linked Data ==== | ==== 3. Linked Data ==== |
| |
| No news (except to point out that [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-753|VUFIND-753]] recommends using a linked data source to augment VuFind). |
| |
| David is also interested in making use of the MARC relator terms exposed as URIs by Library of Congress. |

==== 4. Other Topics? ==== | ==== 4. Other Topics? ==== |
| |
| Demian has upgraded [[http://vufind.org/jira|JIRA]]. |
| |
| Villanova's [[http://digital.library.villanova.edu/|digital library]] has been upgraded to run on VuFind 2 (it is also using a not-yet-released version 0.6 of VuDL, which uses Fedora instead of eXist as its back-end). |
| |
| Sean asked if checkbox facets are supported in VuFind 1.4 -- they should be (though with some limitations on syntax and initial checked status). |
