-=== Image Metadata API Revisited ===+Ben Mosior is not going to be able to pursue this commercially at the moment, but he will try to finish up the work in progress so we can merge it. He may also be able to present at the VuFind Summit to encourage others to pick up where he has left off. 
 + 
 +=== Image Metadata API === 
 + 
 +Jochen has been giving this some thought, but no implementation yet. Will open a pull request when time permits.
  
 === Modularization and Theme Mixins === === Modularization and Theme Mixins ===
 +
 +Demian has spent a little more time testing PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/963|#963]] and expanding the TODO list; he has also started developing a theme compiler (PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1011|#1011]]), which will be an important complement to this feature. There is still considerably more work to be done (and decisions to be made) before merging this.

 === Wiki Documentation Improvements? === === Wiki Documentation Improvements? ===
 +
 +There has been some discussion relevant to this issue on PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/956|#956]], the "generate theme" feature, where documentation is under development.

 +No news.
 +
 +=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===
 +
 +Tod has continued to work on AlphaBrowse handler optimizations and cleanup. Specific code in need of optimization has been identified: Lucene simple collector needs to be replaced with some other mechanism that can be configured to stop collecting after reaching a configured limit. Tod would welcome suggestions on this. Also significant: discussion of a compatibility change related to moving id retrieval into the extras list in future, rather than always retrieving id by default. Another discussion: how to set up semantic versioning for the project -- perhaps we should mint a 1.0.0 browse handler at the end of this project as a baseline for future semantic versioning.
  
 === 4.0.1 / 4.1 Release Dates === === 4.0.1 / 4.1 Release Dates ===
 +
 +Demian proposes releasing 4.0.1 on August 28th and 4.1 on October 2nd (if we feel we can develop enough features to justify it). Possible goals for 4.1: prototype Alma driver, mix-in support, outstanding sandal theme improvements. No objections.
