Demian has worked with Mark Triggs to clean up deprecation warnings in the browse handler, and he has identified a change in the default schema factory which was causing some weird behavior and has been corrected by minor configuration adjustments.

 +Some of Chris' recent work has brought up the idea of putting some documentation in the code on GitHub; this has pros and cons and is worth discussing further.

 +
 +The must-have changes for 4.0 are getting wrapped up. We are going to set our 4.0 release date for July 10. If any unstarted tickets from the 2016 Summit ([[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1213?jql=labels%20%3D%20Summit2016|see here]]) are important to you, please let us know ASAP so they can be included in the release planning.
  
 === Front End Updates === === Front End Updates ===
  
 +As covered in last meeting:
 +
 +Look at the Bootstrap class reducing PR; this is the result of developing the new modern theme, a response to Chris' observation about heavy-weight use of bootstrap classes, and strategies for their reduction/simplification. If you have encountered anything that is difficult to customize, please let us know so we can continue simplifying.
 +
 +Also please share thoughts on the new modern theme: what conventions/styles/etc. should we include? Once 4.0 is released, the modern theme will be used in the public demo to improve the first impression on the project.
