| * [[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 has been doing some work to eliminate 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. | Demian has completely eliminated static calls to \VuFind\Config\Reader in favor of injecting configurations.

| 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. |

| 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). |
