 +Tod has made some more fixes to SolrMarc. Tod and Demian will talk outside of the call to come up with a plan for what belongs in the VuFindIndexer; once that is sorted out, another SolrMarc release can be minted. Tod is thinking about the possible use case for call number prefix trimming, but no real life use has appeared yet.

 Demian has made some progress on [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1035|VUFIND-1035]] by building a command line code generator to automate the process of overriding a core VuFind service or plugin. The generator automatically creates an appropriate subclass in a custom module and updates the module's configuration. Demian has made some progress on [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1035|VUFIND-1035]] by building a command line code generator to automate the process of overriding a core VuFind service or plugin.

-This gave Demian the idea of moving the current dynamic route generation found in module.config.php into a code generator and then regenerating VuFind's default configuration as a static file. This will make the route generation logic more reusable and will also simplify the configuration loading process.+This gave Demian the idea of moving the current dynamic route generation found in module.config.php into a code generator and then regenerating VuFind's default configuration as a static file. This will make the route generation logic more reusable and will also simplify the configuration loading process. Demian will build a pull request to demonstrate this idea.
  
 === New Array Formatting === === New Array Formatting ===
  
 PHP 5.4 allows a shorter array syntax, so you can use brackets in place of the array() keyword. The php-cs-fixer tool can automatically update all of our code to use the new syntax.

 +
 +Unanimous "yes" on converting to new format.
 +
 +=== Solr Upgrade? ===
 +
 +VuFind is currently using Solr 4.2.1 by default, which is rather old. Demian has reviewed release notes for all versions up to 4.10.3 and sees no major causes for concern, though several adjustments to solr.xml validation may catch errors unnoticed in previous releases (upgrading is the only way to find out). We also need to review SolrMarc compatibility. Also of note: Solr 5 is under development and seems to deploy differently than previous versions (it is now its own service, rather than a .war file).
 +
 +Demian will work on a 4.10.3 branch in the near future, then work with Tod and Bob Haschart to investigate any SolrMarc compatibility issues that may arise. Guenter reports running 4.10.3 with VuFind successfully, so hopefully no large problems will come up.
