The release went out on time, in spite of some difficulties related to a zend-servicemanager bug.

The code freeze on master is now in effect, apart from bug fixes and outstanding work on Alma/FOLIO ILS drivers. Demian will create a release-5.0 branch if there is a need to merge new features to master after this week.

Some facet template changes occurred recently. Chris and Demian will review outstanding front end pull requests to see if anything can go into master.

Demian added a short note to the requirements page in the wiki.

Alma code is about ready to merge, pending some final testing.

FOLIO is still waiting on progress in the project itself and may or may not be ready in time for 5.0.

No news.

This issue is now resolved.

No news, though discussions are ongoing.

A call for presentations and registration link are being prepared.

National Library of Finland has successfully updated their instance to master.

Ere requested better support for MyResearch methods through the lightbox. There was some discussion about whether, for example, “Checked Out Items” can be successfully displayed in a lightbox using current existing code. Demian thought it should be workable but Ere reported having trouble making it work. Further testing/investigation is needed.

Ere also asked whether switching the new encrypted session feature on or off would effect existing users. Demian reported that it will not cause any error messages, but it will require users to re-establish their sessions; in other words, if you are logged in, and the session encryption setting changes in config.ini, you will be immediately logged out and will need to log in again.

The next call will be Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
