JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-1241 - Homepage plugins are now implemented through the ContentBlock mechanism; this ticket has been resolved.

Pull Requests
- #1176 - closed - Opened by accident, then closed.

- #1181 - in progress - Refactoring to make cover image code more extensible.
2. Development Planning
5.0 Roadmap Progress
Most disruptive changes are now complete, apart from configuration management (discussed below).
Demian proposes a 5.0 release date of July 16, 2018, with a code freeze on June 18. That gives us time to finish a few more issues if necessary and to obtain translations while still achieving a summer release.
Front End Updates
ILS Support Updates
The Alma pull request has been updated significantly, and documentation is forthcoming.
There has been no further work on the FOLIO driver, pending developments from the FOLIO community.
Browse Handler Optimizations
No news.
Piwik, the lightbox, and tabs/accordion functionality
No news – Jochen is currently on holiday.
Configuration Loading Standardization/Improvements
Work continues on pull request (#1141). Due to coming changes in zend-mvc 4, it may be worth delaying merging these changes until more is known about how configuration loading will be impacted.
3. Institutional Home
