JIRA Tickets

- VUFIND-997 - This ticket proposes improved error handling in the feedback module.
- VUFIND-998 - This ticket tracks a small improvement that needs to be made in the language files (to update a revised string across all languages).
Pull Requests
- #170 - In progress: this PR contain's Demian's refactoring of third-party content logic (reviews, excerpts, etc.) to decouple logic from the view and make everything more modular.
- #171 - Merged: a small fix to indexing of latitude/longitude (note that fix currently affects .bsh only – we need to wait for the next SolrMarc release for global support).
- #172 - Merged: a fix for a duplicate [Social] section in config.ini.
2. Development Planning
Call Number Normalization
No news this week.
Bootstrap 3
The bootstrap3 and bootprint3 themes have been merged to master. The CSS for these themes is compiled from LESS. Tools are bundled in to allow either on-the-fly or command-line-triggered compilation of LESS, but by default, it is not necessary for end users to use LESS unless they want to.
MySQL and UTF-8
Tod pointed out that MySQL only supports up to 3-byte UTF-8 characters by default. 4-byte support can be enabled but has some trade-offs as described here.
3. Marketing
Eoghan completed an experiment to convert Dokuwiki into GitHub pages and determined that the results are inferior to the original. Recommendation: stick with Dokuwiki for now.
