VuFind Developers Call Minutes: February 4, 2014

Attending: Filipe Bento, Judy Brink-Drescher, Demian Katz, Ben Wiens

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-947 / VUFIND-948 - Now that 2.2 is released, these tickets have been resolved.
  • VUFIND-950 - This minor “avoid PHP notice” fix was merged prior to the 2.2 release.
  • VUFIND-951 - This ticket shows some code for adding Google Scholar tags to VuFind. It will probably not be made a standard feature unless it is made configurable and turned off by default, since it is not applicable to most VuFind installations (only useful if VuFind is serving up original full text content).
  • VUFIND-952 - This ticket requests better Arabic language support in VuFind; probably more of a Solr configuration issue than a real feature request for VuFind, though there may be some adjustments we could make to improve the situation (like smarter article handling in the XSLT importer).

Pull Requests

Several PR's pending the 2.2 release have now been merged.

  • #78 - MultiILS authentication has been merged.
  • #80 - This PR reports some compatibility issues between jsTree and IE11; the fix involves upgrading, but upgrading requires a newer jQuery than we are currently using. Some further discussion may be necessary.
  • #81 - This PR discusses some improvements to language files which would allow explicit inheritance; the functionality has been added, and the language file parser has been improved (and given unit tests) in the process.
  • #82 / #84 / #85 - These PRs add “storage retrieval requests” to VuFind (including Voyager and Demo driver support). Work in progress, likely to be merged soon.
  • #83 - This PR adds the ability to disable citation formats via config.ini; discussion is ongoing for the best configuration layout.

2. Development Planning

Performance Testing

2.2 Release

The release went out on time; no major problems. Demian had to make some last-minute adjustments to the .deb package to account for significant Apache and PHP changes in the latest Ubuntu release.
