VuFind Developers Call Minutes: August 2, 2016

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-1196 - This ticket reports a Solr problem in VuFind 1.4; it is likely that no action is needed in the current master code, so Demian will close it once discussion of the problem is completed.

Pull Requests

  • #759, #760, #766 - merged - Improvements to KohaILSDI driver.
  • #761 - in progress - This was created for testing (and tracking issues with) the major new SolrMarc revision (see below).
  • #762 - in progress - New setting to control the book preview behavior that currently always links cover thumbnails to book preview URLs.
  • #763 - in progress - This was created for testing use of eDismax as VuFind's primary search mechanism (a default that we are currently considering changing in release 3.1).
  • #764 - in progress - Fixes for tag case sensitivity problems.
  • #765 - merged - A fix for VUFIND-1124, which reported problems with attempts to insert null values into the user table.
  • #767 - merged - Correction to the address of the Free Software Foundation in the license comments on all source files.

Release 3.0.3

This went out on time, as planned.

2. Development Planning

Front-end Issues

Grunt
  • see PR #659
  • Demian has begun testing this and will work with Chris to get a first draft in place soon; among other things, waiting for feedback from existing Grunt users to be sure we can introduce the feature without messing up local existing Gruntfiles.
Asset Pipeline
  • see PR #757
  • Currently working through some finishing touches and trying to decide on the best balance between compatibility (guaranteed to work the same as having no pipeline) vs. speed (maximum HTTP optimization, with risk of errors in certain edge cases).
Channels
  • see PR #693 for progress
  • Demian has begun brainstorming the model for dynamically adding more channels to the screen; see PR for details.
