VuFind Developers Call Minutes: January 15, 2019

Attending: Markus Beh, Matthias Edel, Leila Gonzales, Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, Mohan Pradhan

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-1317 - This ticket describes a scenario where email controls appear even though they are not allowed to be used; it suggests that email functionality should probably be tied to the standard permission system in future.
  • VUFIND-1318 - This ticket tracks implementation of polygon support for geographic searching.
  • VUFIND-1319 - This ticket tracks the need for better Javascript/CSS dependency management; the experiment with bower-installer in PR #1164 has been concluded due to the deprecation of Bower, but no workable alternative seems to exist at present.

Pull Requests

  • #1295, #1299, #1301, #1303, #1304 - merged - Translation fixes/improvements.
  • #1296, #1297 - in progress - Better support for supporting symlinks in combination with the asset pipeline.
  • #1298 - in progress - Work on eliminating static factories (for 6.0).
  • #1300 - merged - Upgrade to Bootstrap 3.4.0.
  • #1302 - merged - Minor dependency updates (in preparation for 5.1).
