  • VUFIND-1158 - This tracks a minor Windows-specific Solr 5 bug that causes log files to be saved to the wrong directory; Demian has submitted a PR for a fix and hopes that a future Solr release will correct the problem.

2. Development Planning

Code Freeze Coming

The code freeze for release 3.0 is coming on Monday, April 4th. Any new functionality for the release needs to be finished up this week!

Javascript Reorganization

Lightbox documentation is being written. Still open to feature suggestions, since we're adding grunt support.

There was talk of a more centralized initialization system for Javascript, centered around the new VuFind JS module. The potential issue is that we don't load all of the Javascript all of the time (cart, record view, vudl). It may be possible to use require.js or custom hooks to initialize things together.

API

No news.

Modularization

No news.

Next ZF Version

No news.

Improved Use of Permissions

No news.

Improved Geographic Features

Leila has sent Demian the custom code demonstrated last week; he will review soon. Much excitement was expressed.

4. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
