Thanks Bill! We're excited to see these enhancements merge into master.

I just wanted to mention that KCLS and SITKA are also contributing to the
sponsorship of this project.

> Hi,
> 
> Over the last few months ESI has been working on some new 
> Vandelay features.  The original code lives in the 
> vandelay-improvement branch on evergreen/equinox.git.  The 
> code is nearing completion and I've begun the process of 
> cleaning it up in preparation for a merge into master.  I've 
> done some minor squashing, but left the vast majority of the 
> original commits intact.  The staging branch is currently at:
> 
> http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=evergreen/equinox.git;a=shortl
> og;h=refs/heads/vandelay-improvement-squash
> 
> * May be subject to forced updates.
> 
> Here's my draft of the merge commit for info/reference:
> 
> 
> --------
> Vandelay matching, quality, error reporting, and queue export 
> additions
> 
>  * Configuration of direct MARC field comparisons of incoming 
> record to existing records
>  * Support for nested boolean MARC comparison expressions: 
> e.g. 100a and (020a or 024a)
>  * Support for field-level match scores to create an overall 
> per-record match score
>  * Support for best match merge/overlay
>  * Support for field-level quality metrics to determine 
> overall record quality
>  * Support for enforcing a minimum quality ratio on import to 
> prevent import of lower quality records
>  * Support for capturing and reporting record and item import 
> failures.
>  * Support for exporting record queues and items as print, 
> CSV, and email
>  * Various small display fixes and cleanup
> ----------
> 
> Of course, the individual commits have more feature-specific 
> detail.  We will also be providing user documentation on the 
> new features.      
> 
> There's still a good bit of testing and clean up to do, but 
> my goal is to merge into master by next week, if possible.  I 
> welcome all questions/comments/concerns.  Special thanks to 
> MassLNC for sponsoring the development and documentation.
