 +=== Release 2.5.1 ===
 +
 +It is time for a new point release to incorporate the "OCLC x-services shutdown" changes into an official release before the APIs go offline. (There are also several other bug fixes/translation expansions that might as well go along with them). Demian will work on this in the coming week.

Demian will move forward with work on updating the SolrMarc function, but we can continue the discussion of the best overall solution when we have a larger group.

Demian will create legacy branch with committed dependencies and then merge new-style handling to master.

 +Going very well. Mostly done and merged to master. Outstanding features: new lightbox design (will simplify code, but still has some problems that need to be worked through); VuFind object (adds namespacing to JS code; has been introduced in master, but more code can be moved inside it -- work is ongoing).

 +As noted above, Demian has opened a JIRA ticket ([[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1140|VUFIND-1140]]) to track the need for an API to retrieve additional cover details. Volunteers are still needed to actually begin work on design/development.
