Attending:

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-1223 - This reports a bug in next/prev navigation which was fixed in release 3.1.3.
  • VUFIND-1224 - This reports a limitation of the solr.sh startup script.

Pull Requests

  • #934 - in progress - Adds test records for experimenting with VuFind's hierarchical collection feature; tests using these records still need to be developed.

Release 3.1.3

VuFind 3.1.3 went out on time, as planned.

2. Development Planning

VuFind on Heroku

Image Metadata API Revisited

Breaking Up Templates

#892 is still in progress; a few more pieces still need to be broken out to smaller templates.

Channels

#693 has likely reached its final form; it simply awaits test-writing and documentation before being merged.

Modularization

No news.

Next ZF Version

Significant progress has been made here. Demian has gotten in touch with the Zend development team and learned that slow progress on components was due to energy being invested into Zend Expressive 2.0; now that that work is nearly done, the log jam should break up on other things. Demian has invested some of his own time in updating the ZendService_Amazon component in order to allow entangled Zend\Crypt dependencies to be updated properly – this work allows the completion of #895.

Improved Use of Permissions

No news.

Solr 6

Solr 6.4.2 has been released, which supposedly fixes the SOLR-10130 performance issues. Demian will try to update #869 soon so we can resume testing.

Deprecation Progress

No news.
