VuFind Developers Call Minutes: September 24, 2019

Attending: Demian Katz, Mohan Pradhan

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-845 - This old Summon patch for omitting newspapers by default has been closed without merging, since newer settings (default filters) provide an easier solution.
  • VUFIND-1348 - This ticket (make -aware interfaces work for controllers) has been resolved by PR #1441.
  • VUFIND-1352 - Chris opened this ticket about the next theme to facilitate discussion/voting during the Summit next month.

Pull Requests

  • #1430, #1431 - merged - Czech translation improvements
  • #1432 - merged - Support for placeholder values in select boxes in feedback forms.
  • #1433 - merged - Do not provide authority recommendations for empty searches.
  • #1434 - merged - DAIA driver bug fix.
  • #1435 - merged - Improvement to “reset filters” button for compatibility with advanced searches.
  • #1436 - in progress - Cleaner overriding of Zend services for VuFind's theme system, extracted from #1424. We can merge this to benefit from more efficient backward-compatible code independently of the functional changes in the other PR.
  • #1437 - merged - Improved Primo Central faceting support.
  • #1438 - merged - Minor bug fix (incorrectly associated label).
  • #1439 - in progress - Workaround for a test suite problem (print dialog boxes break automated testing in recent Chrome releases).
  • #1440 - in progress - Work on generalizing the National Library of Finland's SDI functionality.
  • #1441 - merged - Work on making controllers recognize the same “-aware” interfaces as other VuFind services, to make it easier to inject loggers, etc.
  • #1442 - in progress - Add support for multiple form recipients in the feedback module.
  • VuFindHttp #11, VuFindHttp #12 - in progress - Adds support for configuring a list of hosts that should not be proxied (as a supplement to the existing detection of localhost).

2. Development Planning

Zend Framework / Laminas Transition

No major news, though Demian noticed a mention of the Laminas transition in discussion on the deprecated ZendService_Amazon component (which will not survive the migration, as it has been deprecated).

Browse Handler Optimizations

No news.

Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)

As noted above, Demian has begun a pull request (#1440) to generalize the SDI functionality written by the National Library of Finland.

3. Developers Summit

Chris and Demian have begun planning for the event. We hope to use JIRA more interactively this year for roadmapping, so that we have a place to vote for issues and collect comments; we will use a Roadmap2019 label to keep track of things.

4. Next call date?

Demian proposed skipping the next scheduled call due to its proximity to the VuFind Summit.

5. Other Topics?

Demian has been working on the vufind.org utilities, upgrading and fixing Jenkins and JIRA.

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, October 22, 2019 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
