Commit: bd0eee73dcdad0f5c819309810e9277efd96c746 - Contribution Guidelines: AI usage policy visibility (bevyengine/bevy-website) — clarified that AI should not be used to generate code or issues; emphasizes human input. Commit: 0f7a985344f4df9cf6c9882c5f27e4aff87ea668 Impact and outcomes: - Reduces onboarding friction and policy confusion; aligns newcomers with governance; cross-repo consistency improves policy enforcement and PR quality. - No major bugs fixed this month. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Documentation updates, policy governance, cross-repo collaboration, version control hygiene, and contributor communications.

February 2026: Dependency and RNG modernization implemented in ickshonpe/bevy to ensure forward compatibility and reduce maintenance risk. Core crates (glam, hexasphere, rand, uuid) were upgraded to latest versions; rand_distr updated accordingly; replaced deprecated rand_chacha with chacha20 to align with the new RNG tree. Refactored RNG interfaces across the codebase (RngCore -> Rng, Rng -> RngExt) and updated usage from choose_multiple to sample. Prepared for UUID getrandom v0.4 integration and maintained WASM compatibility. CI validation focused on eliminating regressions.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-08: Bevy Engine RNG/WASM Compatibility Update. Updated dependencies to latest rand, glam, and encase to improve RNG behavior and WASM build compatibility. Implemented compatibility changes to RNG usage across WASM targets while preserving existing APIs and performance. Commit ef845e0cea8b290a83188f85fcd05db48907f9df contains the changes. This work stabilizes cross-platform builds and reduces risk from transitive dependency updates.

June 2025 — Focused on delivering precise APM duration data in Elasticsearch. Key feature delivered: APM Data Mapping Enhancement for Duration Units, adding micros unit to trace duration fields to improve data clarity and precision. Commit: 78bc48e8b43b2fbdc189a47f08373983c6cd018e (Update traces duration mappings with appropriate unit type (#129418)). No major bugs documented for this period.
