2. Development Planning

Release 2.5.1

It may be time for a new point release to incorporate the “OCLC x-services shutdown” changes into an official release before the APIs go offline.

Improved Author Indexing

André and Demian have been discussing author initials indexing and whether to include a custom SolrMarc function or use a Solr field-based solution.

Delimited Facets

Luke O'Sullivan has finished developing this feature in PR #528.

Revised Dependency Management

We need to decide when to merge PR #501.

Eliminate "VuFind" source in Database

We need to decide when to merge PR #534.

Solr Upgrade

Demian changed TextFacetRaw to StrField following the previous call's discussion.
