  • LibraryFind 0.8.5.2 available

    LibraryFind 0.8.5.2 has officially been tagged and posted to the libraryfind.org website.  You can get the tarball here: http://libraryfind.org/release-0.8.5.2.tar.gz.  This release has admittedly been a long time coming.  What’s held it up?  Well, primarily work that we were doing for people interested in using LibraryFind outside of the public view.  Of course, the result of…

  • LibraryFind notes & stuff

    So, I just wanted to update folks on some LibraryFind work.  0.8.5.1 is pretty much ready to go.  The only things that I’ve been waiting on are changes to two core components — the oai.gem and the sru gem.  So, I added libxml support to the sru gem (both support for the current and past…

  • LibraryFind Changes a coming

    It’s been a little while since the public LibraryFind code repository has been changed.  This is mostly due to some work being done privately with a number of partners to tweak the software for use within some larger local implementation.  Over this next weekend, I’m going to be working on moving many of these changes…

  • Libraryfind 0.8.5 rc1

    Since Code4Lib, we’ve made a few significant changes to the 0.8.5 alpha tag.  Many of these are related to issues due to migrating to Rails 2.0, including issues with some pagination, changes to how rails handles posted data and then my favorite, issues with Rails defaulting to ActiveRecord caching (something that’s generally desireable, but causes…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.5: threading and XSLT and REST, Oh my

    At present, I’m wrapping up the back-end changes to what will be LibraryFind 0.8.5.  Yup, we’ll be skipping 0.8.4 in part because I’d like the release point to represent the broadness of the changes being made.  In fact, had the UI portions of the code been modified to completely support the new back-end searching, we’d…

  • LibraryFind and Mobile Services

    One of the things I was really impressed with while attending DLF was the presentation on the lightweight web platform being built at NCSU.  Leveraging their endeca catalog, the folks at NCSU have been able to produce a set of REST-based api for querying the catalog.  With those services, they’ve designed a mobile interface and…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.4 upcoming changes

    At some point, I’ll likely move this to the LibraryFind blog.  I just realized that I couldn’t remember my login information to post to the blog — so, I’ll post here. I’m not exactly sure if the UI changes will be made in 0.8.4 to incorporate the new spawning/pinging (I think that they will), but…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.3 tagged

    Jeremy I’m sure will get the tgz version of the file up and ready on the LF site soon, but the 0.8.3 instance of libraryfind has been tagged.  If you are interested in finding out more about libraryfind, see: http://www.libraryfind.org.   –TR

  • LibraryFind 0.8.2

    I still have to create the tar-ball, but I’ve officially tagged 0.8.2.  This includes a number of fixes, as well as the inclusion of the smart_session_store plugin.  This plugin was necessary to solve some sessioning issues caused by timing, and our Ajax implementation.  –TR

  • I hate SUTRS

    I’ve been profiling CSA for LibraryFind and have had to deal with the SUTRS format.  I hate it.  How this is easier than MARC or XML…Anyway, it just had to be said. 🙂   –TR
