This distinction makes it possible to have “virtual” search backends which pull data from multiple sources. Supporting this required several changes which may need to be reflected in local custom code:</div> <ul> <li class="level2"><div class="li"> The setSourceIdentifier record driver and record collection methods have been deprecated in favor of setSourceIdentifiers, which allows both IDs to be set. The legacy method will set both IDs to the same value for backward compatibility. These changes affect any classes implementing VuFindSearch\Response\RecordCollectionInterface or VuFindSearch\Response\RecordInterface. The changes have been implemented in VuFindSearch\Response\AbstractRecordCollection and VuFindSearch\Response\RecordTrait for easy reuse.</div> </li> <li class="level2"><div class="li"> Record controllers (i.e. VuFind\Controller\AbstractRecord and its children) have replaced the $searchClassId property with $sourceId.</div> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <img src="/wiki/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg" class="icon smiley" alt=":!:" /> Facet processing has been adjusted to maintain a consistent internal format between the EDS, Primo and Solr backends, with standard processing taking place in the \VuFind\Search\Base\Results class. This simplifies the work of the Blender backend and better conforms to VuFind®'s internal documentation. The changes are most significant in Solr, where the \VuFindSearch\Backend\Solr\Response\Json\Facets class has been removed and replaced by additional methods on \VuFindSearch\Backend\Solr\Response\Json\RecordCollection. Note that some other backends (most notably Summon) still use non-standard facet processing and are presently incompatible with Blender. This may be corrected in a future release. (See <a href="https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2372" class="urlextern" title="https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2372" rel="ugc nofollow">pull request #2372</a>).</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <img src="/wiki/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg" class="icon smiley" alt=":!:" /> The default configuration now includes a username policy that prevents the inclusion of exotic characters.

Whereas Locator was accessed statically, making some code hard to test or customize, the PathResolver is a full-fledged VuFind® service that can be overridden or extended. This change has resulted in adjustments to the internals of \VuFind\Config\PluginFactory, \VuFind\Config\YamlReader, and other classes; see <a href="https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2568" class="urlextern" title="https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2568" rel="ugc nofollow">pull request #2568</a> for full details.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <img src="/wiki/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg" class="icon smiley" alt=":!:" /> Previous VuFind® releases suppressed the display of items without barcodes on the holdings tab of the record view.

Supporting this feature required a few backward-incompatible chnages: The constructors for \VuFind\RecordTab\CollectionList, \VuFind\Controller\Plugin\ResultScroller and \VuFind\Search\Memory have changed, as has the signature of the \VuFind\Search\Memory::rememberSearch method. Additionally, the recordLinker view helper now accepts a results object as a parameter so that it can add the necessary parameter to record links.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <img src="/wiki/lib/images/smileys/exclaim.svg" class="icon smiley" alt=":!:" /> Laminas no longer uses the deprecated container-interop interfaces for factories; it now uses psr-container instead. This means that all references to the Interop\Container namespace should be replaced with equivalent references to the Psr\Container interface (note that Interop\Container\Exception is replaced by Psr\Container\ContainerException). If you have local factories, or other code that references container interfaces, they should be updated to ensure forward-compatibility.

These command objects are also shared with search listeners. The command system makes it easier to customize search behavior without having to rewrite the search service itself. This has been implemented in a mostly-backward-compatible way, but the old way of doing things is deprecated in this release and will be removed in VuFind 9.0. If you make calls to the search service in your code, and/or if you have written any custom search listeners, you should update your code to use command objects instead of the old techniques. When using command objects, some event details will be different (some arguments may not be present, and the event target will also be different).

Renamed methods have changed “OpenURL” to “OpenUrl” for greater consistency with function naming conventions in Zend Framework 2. If you have done any OpenURL customization, you should review it in light of these changes.
