Solr Upgrade
The master branch has been updated to Solr 4.10.4. Please reindex data and report any problems. Demian will begin work on an experimental Solr 5 branch soon.

3. VuFind Summit 2015
Part of the cost of the 2015 Summit will be covered by a generous donation from Agilent Technologies, Inc., a global company focused in the life sciences, diagnostics and applied chemical markets.
The price of admission is set at $45 (a slight increase over last year, to shorten the gap with next year's price if we fail to receive corporate backing). Registration is now open here.
4. Other Topics?
Demian has written a blog post about automating some VuFind local code maintenance tasks.
Tod reports that his NACO browse normalizer is being tested by staff, subject specialists and catalogers. He expects to issue a pull request for vufind-browse-handler when the QA is done. UChicago will have this in production in time for their fall quarter.
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
