Improved Author Indexing
Still waiting for SolrMarc release; will discuss at Code4lib next week.
Solr Upgrade
Solr 5.5 has been released, which fixes more bugs and restores the missing caching functionality that set off the whole docValues conversation. Demian has done some performance testing and hasn't noticed dramatic benefits from docValues (but this may be a flaw in his tests rather than a real indication that docValues are unimportant). In any case, it appears that the time to merge the solr5 branch to master may be soon. Demian will continue cleaning up remaining TODO items on the PR.
Javascript Reorganization
API
Modularization
Next ZF Version
Demian began work on a ZF 2.5 branch; there is currently a blocker caused by an issue in Zend\Feed. Demian has submitted a PR to the component's repo but hasn't gotten word back yet. It may be possible to work around this by specifying an earlier version of the Zend\Feed component in composer.json. (A related issue: it may be worth investigating a more specific composer.json configuration to load only the parts of ZF2 that we actually use, since the whole framework no longer needs to be installed as a single unit).
Improved Use of Permissions
Session Performance Improvement
Release Date for 2.5.3/3.0
Demian suggested that we should issue a 2.5.3 release prior to 3.0 in order to get known PHP 7 compatibility improvements (and a few more bug fixes) into the 2.5.x series prior to focusing entirely on the new major version. This could be scheduled to happen in parallel with 3.0 or slightly before.
