Re: [VuFind-Tech] Subjects sometimes get appended non UTF-8 characters

I'm glad you were able to get things up and running so quickly!

The biggest thing you may want to start planning for, if you haven't already, is the new bootstrap3 theme. I expect that this will eventually replace blueprint as VuFind's default theme, since it adds responsive design to the interface. This will be included in the 2.3 release but flagged as "experimental" for the moment, since it needs more testing and development. If you have a chance to play with it, any feedback is welcome!
