Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 summary for emscripten-forge/recipes: Delivered a cohesive set of packaging, build tooling, and cross-language build improvements that strengthen reliability, modularity, and business value across multi-language notebooks and data workflows. Key features include Python integration with FindPython.cmake (python_add_library), packaging refactors to split the cross-python package and separate pyjs packaging, and an expanded 4x build strategy across Xeus components with release-oriented updates. Build tooling enhancements added embind to linker flags, enforced mandatory flags, and triggered builds of the emscripten compiler to improve consistency and throughput. GDAL/GEOS integration benefited from -fPIC enablement, static GEOS linkage, and GDAL static builds, alongside libiconv upgrade to 1.18 and SQLite column metadata support. Quality and validation were improved by augmenting recipe metadata with tests sections for xsqlite contents and streamlining packaging tests. Business impact: faster, deterministic deployments; reduced CI churn; and robust multi-language support for notebooks and data pipelines.
