 Demian has merged the call number improvements pull request ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/305|#305]]), and SolrMarc has been upgraded to a new release containing all of Tod and Anna's enhancements.
+Tod will be doing a production-level test of this soon. So will Demian.
+One minor outstanding issue: Tod will update the callnumber.bsh to match the updated Java.
+Tod is looking for other institutions with complex call number prefixing issues in case some further work can be done in that direction.

 As previously mentioned, Solr 5 will require some new deployment strategies; perhaps something to think about for a VuFind 3 release.
-In the meantime, getting up to the latest Solr 4.x will require some SolrMarc work.
+In the meantime, getting up to the latest Solr 4.x will require some SolrMarc work. Tod suggested writing to vufind-tech to double-check whether we can eliminate SolrMarc's direct index writing mode, which is the main sticking point on forward compatibility.
 One bit of good news: Demian has reviewed the new solr.xml format and has found a setting that should allow us to enable ALL of VuFind's Solr cores (even the optional ones) without unreasonable overhead. Cores can be configured to load "on demand." Demian has reconfigured pull request [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/306|#306]] accordingly.
