Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-529 - This ticket about requiring Javascript for the “retain filters” checkbox is irrelevant now that the control has been redesigned, so it has been closed.
- VUFIND-1325 - MySQL 8 compatibility has been fixed for VuFind 6.0, so this ticket has been resolved.
- VUFIND-1336 - This ticket tracks a fix to background tab loading (which will be part of VuFind 6.0).

2. Development Planning
Zend Framework / Laminas Transition
No major news yet – still waiting for the Laminas code to drop. The getlaminas.org site still has not changed significantly since it was unveiled.
Filter Controls
The relocated and redesigned filter controls are all merged to master. Feedback is welcome!
Browse Handler Optimizations
No news.
Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)
Mohan's team is still working on this, and will be sharing some code with Demian soon; he will work on integration/revision once the first draft is complete.
PHP Requirements
Demian still needs to set up a PR to begin this work. He is working on upgrading relevant Villanova systems to support PHP 7.1 before beginning – this is proving more complex than anticipated.
6.0 Release Progress
Demian has been finishing up pull request merging for the 6.0 release – some new features like URL shortening and Overdrive integration are now in master. He has just begun requesting translations, so there is now a freeze on changes to master that impact language files; a full code freeze will follow shortly.
3. Developers Summit
No news. Looks like an online-only event is likely.
4. Other Topics?
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
