 Evergreen is built upon the Open Scalable Request Framework, or OpenSRF (pronounced "open surf"). OpenSRF provides communication between various "Applications" and the clients that wish to call them. Each application provides a service, and usually the applications are referred to as services because of this.

 ===== Staff Client =====
-The Evergreen browser-based (or "web") staff client is now the main client, and the XUL client will be removed from Evergreen releases as of version 3.2 (expected Fall 2018). Circulation features were released as a preview with Evergreen 2.8(?), and the full browser client was released with Evergreen 3.0 in October 2017.  XUL interfaces have been converted to AngularJS, while most Dojo interfaces have been embedded in the web client with hopes to convert them to AngularJS eventually. (NOTE: We are making plans to upgrade from [[dev:browser_staff:angular5|AngularJS to Angular 5]].)
+The Evergreen browser-based (or "web") staff client is now the main client, and the XUL client is not supported starting with Evergreen version 3.2 (Fall 2018). Because of this, Evergreen 3.1 has an extended support window for sites that are not ready to switch to the web client.
+We are currently converting all the old Dojo interfaces into Angular (version 7+). After that, we will re-write the AngularJS interfaces as well.  (See [[dev:browser_staff:angjs_to_ang_migration]] for the proposed timeline.)  Development for the web Staff Client can involve Angular (using TypeScript), AngularJS, JavaScript, (X)HTML, and OPAC development. Perhaps all at the same time, depending on your goals.

+**History**
-The old Staff Client was a XULRunner application built on the XULRunner 3 series, which is equivalent to the Firefox 3 series. It was a combination of local and remote XUL pages, JavaScript, and the OPAC itself.
