2. Development Planning
2.3 Release
Demian has established the release-2.3 branch. All bug fixes and remaining improvements for 2.3 will be implemented on this branch and merged to master. All development outside the scope of the 2.3 release will be done directly against master.
Call Number Normalization
No news this week.
