Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Implemented an automated Windows dependencies build workflow in PCSX2/pcsx2. Added a label-based trigger and a GitHub Actions workflow that dispatches a build event to the pcsx2-windows-dependencies repository when PRs are labeled 'requires-win-deps-build'. This automation reduces manual steps, improves build reliability for Windows-related changes, and accelerates PR validation across the Windows dependency surface.

May 1, 2025In May 2025, PCSX2/pcsx2 focused on stabilizing Linux CI builds and hardening the Flathub deployment workflow to improve reliability and release cadence. Key improvements include disabling PCH in Linux CI to resolve build issues and ensuring the CDVD module works with non-PCH configurations, plus a regression fix in the Flathub workflow by replacing flatpak-builder with flat-manager for beta and stable builds. These changes reduce CI failures, accelerate feedback, and streamline publishing to Flathub, delivering tangible business value through more robust Linux support and faster releases.

The CI pipeline was migrated to the upstream Flatpak action, with updated references and SHAs for beta, stable, and Flathub pushes to ensure the latest stable versions are built and released. This reduces manual intervention, improves reliability and speed of Flatpak releases, and aligns with upstream tooling. No major bugs were fixed this month. Overall impact includes more robust release automation, better consistency with external tooling, and improved developer productivity. Technologies demonstrated: CI/CD automation, GitHub Actions, Flatpak release workflow, SHA/version management, cross-repo collaboration, and release engineering.

Mar 1, 2025Summary for 2025-03: In PCSX2/pcsx2, delivered key user-facing enhancements and strengthened the CI/CD pipeline to improve reliability and maintainability. Feature deliveries include Savestate Warning Timing Enhancement, increasing the savestate dependency warning threshold from about 1 hour to 2 hours to minimize interruptions in long sessions. Additionally, CI/CD Workflow Hardening and Symbol Management streamlined maintenance: code cleanup, Breakpad symbol generation for Windows, symbol directory consolidation, and pinning third-party GitHub Actions to full commit SHAs to ensure reproducible builds across Linux, macOS, and Windows. No explicit user-reported bug fixes are listed for this month. The combined results improve user experience during extended sessions, speed up crash diagnosis, and stabilize the build/release process across platforms. Technologies demonstrated: SIO subsystem adjustments, Breakpad-based debugging symbols, cross-platform build tooling, and disciplined GitHub Actions governance.
