Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-652 - VuFind can now be configured to support MoreLikeThis on a sharded index, so this ticket has been closed.
  • VUFIND-935 - VuFind is now configured to use eDisMax by default, as it is fully supported; thus, this ticket has been closed.
  • VUFIND-1198 - This ticket was opened to track the task of fixing the cosmetic problem of inconsistent method capitalization in the code base.

Pull Requests

  • #789, #790 - merged - Work on logging messages to Slack.
  • #791 - in progress - Work on Shibboleth log out behavior
  • #792 - merged - Minor improvement to DAIA ILS driver.

General Status Update

API

No news.

Modularization

No news.

Next ZF Version

No news.

Improved Use of Permissions

Oliver has made some progress on PR #608. Work continues, and comments are welcomed.

Improved Geographic Features

Leila has continued to make progress on this. Demian hopes to take a look again soon after SolrMarc work is completed.

New SolrMarc

SolrMarc now supports multiple indexer threads for even faster performance. Demian has been working with Bob to eliminate some last-minute bugs and inconsistencies, but things are progressing well.

Solr 6

No news.

Release 3.1

Merging for 3.1 is wrapping up – Demian hopes that the SolrMarc update will be completed shortly so that it can be rolled into a few other PR's that include indexing changes, simplifying the process of future VuFind development. Plans may need to be adjusted if the SolrMarc release is not wrapped up very soon, but hopefully it will not come to that.

3. Institutional Home

Conversations are ongoing – no news this week.

4. VuFind Summit 2016

This is the final week for talk submissions, so please send them in if you wish to present (and get free registration). Once the proposal deadline has passed, Demian will announce a final schedule.

5. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
