Demian has finished adjusting all existing authorization functionality in VuFind to use the new standard mechanism in pull request #209. This will likely be merged to master as soon as we raise the PHP version requirements to 5.4 (soon). Input on permission naming, configuration layout, etc., is still welcome.

The old bootstrap and bootprint themes have been removed in favor of the newer bootstrap3/bootprint3 themes. An oldbootstrap branch has been established to allow further development of the legacy themes if there turns out to be a need for this.

Tod has recently posted some patches on the solrmarc-tech list.

The next call is very close to the Christmas holiday. We discussed whether it was worth holding, given that many people may be on vacation.

None this week.

The next call will be Tuesday, December 23, 2014 at 10am Eastern Standard Time (15:00 GMT).
