Agenda
1. Recent Development History
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-178 - Luke has posted some screen shots of search interfaces for brainstorming purposes.
- VUFIND-422 - Thanks to Tom Misilo, VuFind 2 now has CAS authentication support.
- VUFIND-475 - VuFind now has configuration options to use Summon's s.role setting to retrieve larger result sets for authenticated users.
- VUFIND-488 - Summon searches are now language-aware (relevance ranking is influenced by current language setting).
- VUFIND-546 - As discussed on the previous call, TrieDates are now being used in VuFind's Solr schema; don't forget to reindex!
- VUFIND-636 - Code for EBSCO Discovery support in VuFind 1.x has been posted on this ticket; 2.x support is currently in development.
- VUFIND-656 - The sitemap generator tool can now pull results from multiple Solr cores (e.g. expose authority records as well as biblio records).
- VUFIND-871 - Chris has addressed a minor advanced search cosmetic issue here.
- VUFIND-875 - Demian has completed a recommendation module to manipulate queries in order to (possibly) fix failed searches.
- VUFIND-897 - This ticket proposed using a consolidated search area in the Bootstrap theme, but was subsequently closed as “Won't Fix” when all participants agreed that it was less intuitive than the existing design.
- VUFIND-898 - This ticket addresses a bug in the “add to favorites” functionality within the collection module.
- VUFIND-902 - This ticket proposes boosting newer versions of works; see attached discussion.
- VUFIND-904 - This ticket adds a little more query cleanup to avoid Solr errors caused by freestanding slashes.
- VUFIND-905 - This ticket addresses the need for users to be able to edit/remove their own tags on records outside of favorites; it supersedes the broader VUFIND-217 which has been resolved apart from this small UI issue.
- Several further tickets have been opened and closed related to continued development of the Bootstrap theme.
Pull Requests
- #37 - This merged PR adds an “add new list” link to the Favorites section (previously you could only create a list from within the “add to favorites” dialog).
- #41 - This PR includes many improvements to the Aleph driver. Demian will likely merge soon, but if any Aleph users can test in the meantime, their help would be appreciated.
- Several small PRs have been opened and merged related to continued development of the Bootstrap theme.
2. Development Updates/Planning
