Attending:

• VUFIND-1217 - This ticket addresses an inconsistency in the way trailing question marks are handled in advanced vs. basic Solr searches.

As discussed last time, the API PR (#819) has been merged. Another noteworthy merge: form attribute support (#802).

• #863 - merged - Work on removal of the statistics module
• #864 - merged - Use Composer to install PhpDocumentor
• #865 - merged - Use Composer to install Phing, and Phing to set up Swagger-UI
• #866 - in progress - DAIA driver improvements
• #867 - merged - New configuration option to set session cookie name
• #868 - merged - Minor tweaks/fixes to new API code
• #869 - in progress - Initial Solr 6 upgrade work

All of the VuFind sub-projects (VuFindCode, VuFindHarvest, VuFindHttp) have been updated to match the work in #864 and #865, and the Jenkins CI configuration has been adjusted to work with this new setup. Using a “Composer-first” strategy greatly simplifies continuous integration setup and will ease migration of the existing utilities to a new server as we work toward a PHP 5.6 upgrade at Villanova.

Discussion has been renewed on VUFIND-1140.

The “unbundle Solr” pull request (#769) has been merged. Demian has begun work on a Solr 6 PR (#869).

As noted above, a PR has been merged to remove the built-in statistics functionality. Still to do: BeanShell scripts and Google Maps support.

No news until the new year.

We discussed whether to skip the next call due to the likelihood of minimal activity over the holiday break.

The next call will be Tuesday, January 3, 2016 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
