Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-1241 - Homepage plugins are now implemented through the ContentBlock mechanism; this ticket has been resolved.
  • VUFIND-1267 - The RecordDataFormatter has been improved as discussed on this ticket, so the ticket has been resolved.
  • VUFIND-1269 - VuFind now supports an enumchron field in ILS driver holdings data; this ticket has been resolved.
  • VUFIND-1285 - Controller plugins will likely be eliminated in a future version of the zend-mvc library; this ticket captures the need to replace them with something else.

Pull Requests

  • #1176 - closed - Opened by accident, then closed.
  • #1177 - in progress - This change was proposed due to a problem with a local template; it will probably be closed in the near future without further action but is being left open long enough for discussion.
  • #1178 - merged - Bug fix for hierarchical facets
  • #1179, #1180 - merged - Work on replacing static factories with factory classes for record drivers and view helpers.
  • #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

CLA

4. VuFind Summit 2018

5. Other Topics?

The Relais pull request has been merged.

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, June 5, 2018 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
