Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-1199 - This ticket (listing geographic improvements) has been resolved. The only suggestion on the ticket that has not been implemented is polygon support, which may not be needed. A new ticket can be opened if that is desired in future.
- VUFIND-1280 - This ticket tracks proposals for improving the ILS driver API and implementation.
- VUFIND-1281 - This ticket describes a problem where browse indexing fails if the authority index has never been accessed before.
- VUFIND-1282 - This ticket proposes a IEEE Xplore search backend for VuFind. It should be technically feasible; the challenge is finding time to implement it.
- VUFIND-1283 - This ticket collects translation notes for the 5.0 release.
