Significant rewrites and project goal realignments have produced many changes since the last report. The testConnection function has received better error protection, and the testing suite has received major upgrades. readRecords has been realigned to new goals, and in turn has been aligned closer to the project goals. Overall the development process has been curated to allow for more efficient production and development, and progress is happening at an always gathering rate. The pull request acceptance has occurred during this period, and a second has been proposed for review.

First off, apologies for a gap of time between this update cycle, a lot has been done and my concentration on the tasks distracted me from posting. Quite honestly, the work done during this period has dwarfed all previous work done on this project, as while before I was working on understanding the software setup and learning our overall connector goals, I've now come to not only understand, but also efficiently and effectively produce the desired project goals at a rapid pace. Overall, I've become quite comfortable with everything involved, and thus the production and development has increased dramatically. Specifically, not only have I almost completely overhauled the previously developed functions such as read and testConnection, but I have (at this point) also worked on the majority (if not all) of the major features and functions within the connector, as well as many external entities such as the RecordCache and the test suite. I've been quite happy with the progress in this period, as when this section of time began, the project was at a point where a function or two were falling into place for initial completion, whereas at the closing of this period we are seeing the connector come together as a fully featured code base. We are not yet done, but the project has developed to a point where the deadlines are very much achievable, and if progress continues at the desired pace, potentially beatable.
