September 2025 focused on delivering correctness, reliability, and upstream readiness across rust-lang/miri and ferrocene/ferrocene. Key features delivered included robust floating-point error handling, unified atomic RMW behavior, and IO/FD guarantees, along with timing and FP coverage improvements. Upstream readiness and CI reliability were enhanced through CI rebalancing, GC_STRESS tuning per OS, and bootstrap/upstream merge preparation. Testing and diagnostics were improved via reorganization and expansion of weak memory tests and new release sequence tests, with richer failure origin data.
