February 2025 (2025-02) focused on delivering robust HBC analysis capabilities in PLAMS and expanding solubility workflow demonstrations, while improving reliability, code quality, and docs. Key outcomes include integration of hydrogen bond center (HBC) calculation via Densf into ADFCOSMORSCompoundJob, data propagation into COSKF conversion, and a new HBC utilities module. These changes, together with prerun/workflow hardening, reduce failed runs and provide researchers with reproducible HBC outputs. In parallel, a practical solubility workflow demonstration was added via ams_pyCRS.py, showcasing pyCRS/COSKFDatabase/CRSSystem usage with densf2hbc, accompanied by formatting and documentation updates. Several bug fixes and code quality improvements were completed to stabilize the tooling and improve developer experience.
