Alexey Sokolov contributed to several open source projects, focusing on build systems, containerization, and cross-platform development. On Stellarium/stellarium, Alexey improved build reliability by restructuring INDI client header handling, ensuring compatibility across environments using C++ and CMake. For influxdata/official-images, Alexey upgraded ZNC Docker images to maintain security and deployment consistency, leveraging Docker and YAML for configuration management. In qwrtln/Homm3BG-mission-book, Alexey enhanced LaTeX document accessibility and refined CI workflows to support internationalization. On yhirose/cpp-httplib, Alexey added mbedtls support to the Meson build, enabling flexible TLS backend selection. The work demonstrated depth in maintainability and portability.
February 2026 performance summary for yhirose/cpp-httplib: Implemented TLS backend flexibility by adding mbedtls support and exposing a selectable TLS backend in the Meson build. Updated build configuration (meson.build and meson_options.txt) to enable OpenSSL vs. mbedtls selection, paving the way for broader deployment scenarios and reduced dependency lock-in. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on enabling portability and configurability. Key technologies: Meson build system, TLS backends integration, cross-platform portability.

Monthly summary for 2024-12 focused on Stellarium/stellarium: Implemented a robust INDI client header strategy to ensure reliable builds across environments. Fixed include path references to use installed INDI headers and added dummy header fallbacks for non-installed INDI client scenarios. This eliminates build failures tied to header availability and improves cross-platform compatibility, contributing to smoother CI and developer onboarding.
