May 1, 2025May 2025 highlights for canonical/checkbox focusing on reliability, performance, and cross-version compatibility, with particular emphasis on reporting, CI/CD stability, and device detection accuracy. Key items include a reporting overhaul that loads system information from submission JSONs and replaces the tar exporter with HTML/JSON/JUnit exporters, delivering faster, more reliable test results. Prepared for Python 3.13+ by adding a conditional filetype dependency and updating packaging metadata for Debian control and pyproject.toml. Strengthened CI/CD and test infrastructure through running hotspot and dkms tests as root, tightening log collection permissions, eliminating unnecessary upload retries, and stabilizing test execution. Fixed a critical release workflow misconfiguration to promote to uc24/stable, ensuring proper deployment flow. Implemented test and suite stability improvements by removing conflicting USB DesignWare Core 3.0 tests and reverting unintended test additions. Each change reduces release risk, shortens feedback loops, and broadens Python version support, aligning development with business needs and customer expectations.
