VuFind Developers Call Minutes: June 12, 2013
Attending: Filipe Bento, Demian Katz, Josiah Knoll, David Maus, Benjamin Mosior, Eoghan Ó Carragáin, Tod Olson, Luke O'Sullivan, Jay Roos, Ben Wiens
Agenda
This meeting was held on Google Hangouts due to multiple problems with Wimba.
1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-670 - This refactoring-related ticket is no longer necessary and has been closed as “won't fix.”
- VUFIND-677 - A small autocomplete display glitch has been fixed here.
- VUFIND-701 - Dewey AlphaBrowse indexing should now be improved (no more errors when a record contains multiple call numbers). There are still some problematic edge cases, but the next SolrMarc upgrade should resolve those.
- VUFIND-744 - Google Analytics can now be turned on via a config.ini setting.
- VUFIND-796 - Solr parse error detection now works correctly with David's new error handling event and either Solr 3.x or Solr 4.x.
- VUFIND-808 - There has been further discussion of a MultiBackend ILS driver bug on this ticket.
- VUFIND-819 - This patch from Luke offers allows the record view template to be overridden on a record driver basis.
- VUFIND-820 - This ticket addresses a small bug in the new search subsystem.
- VUFIND-821 - This ticket makes the feedback tab display CSS-based rather than image-based, which simplifies translation issues.
- VUFIND-822 - This ticket resolves a bug that was causing SMS problems in VuFind 2; Demian will test and commit for the 2.0 release if no major problems are discovered.
2. Linked Data
As mentioned on the VUFIND-425 ticket, we discussed possible approaches to incorporating schema.org microdata into VuFind.
3. VuFind 2.0 Update
Storage of identity in the session has been simplified: we now persist a user ID instead of a serialized object in order to avoid complex sleep/wakeup logic.
Most outstanding 2.0 tickets are now resolved, so a development freeze is in force until the 2.0 release. Only bug fixes, language file expansions, and a planned SolrMarc upgrade will be committed until that time.
Demian plans to spend some time reviewing the test suite/commenting on related JIRA tickets/etc. during the development freeze between now and the 2.0 release. Demian will work on separating unit/integration tests better if necessary (skip tests with external dependencies). David will look into a better/more flexible phpunit.xml configurations. He also suggested reducing use of service locators in favor of mocks in some of the existing tests. Demian will also fix directory path / namespace inconsistency in unit/integration tests.
