   2. Teaser trailer: Hyrax and Valkyrie (Michael Joseph Giarlo)
   3. New Slack channel for Hyrax release testing (Michael Joseph Giarlo)
   4. Polling-free Hyrax notifications, yay! (Michael Joseph Giarlo)
      1. ActionCable, Apache, and Passenger don't get along, boo!
      2. Michael Joseph Giarlo is adding a config option for this feature. Should the default value be ON or OFF?
         1. If ON, folks running the above combination may deploy a broken instance until they note this change and tweak the Hyrax initializer before their next deployment.
         2. If OFF, it's a change in behavior from past Hyrax and Sufia applications, though page reloads will update the notifications list – it just won't happen between page loads. (Notifications will not be realtime, that is.)
         3. Third option: have default value be ON, but work on a fallback mechanism for notifications (restore polling stuff, and use it only if AC notifications are disabled)
            1. I don't like this option one bit. It's going to be a bunch of work, and it will add more complexity to the codebase.
