Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, focused on stability, cross‑platform UX, and licensing accuracy for the Apache Daffodil VSCode extension. Implemented a safety mechanism to shutdown server processes by validating stale PID files against OmegaEdit processes, with robust command error handling and NaN checks for PIDs. Added Jansi-based ANSI support by integrating a Jansi dependency into the build and updating licensing notices to reflect dependencies, enhancing CLI UX across platforms. These changes reduce production risk, improve user experience, and ensure license compliance for broader adoption.
