November 2024: Focused on performance-oriented build optimization for stellar-core on Windows via Visual C++ debug workflows. Implemented a change to exclude the --release flag from cargo during debug builds, aligning with C++ conventions to reduce debug build times and improve debugger usability, without impacting release behavior. This work enhances developer velocity and reduces iteration time for debugging.
