Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 monthly summary for helix-editor/helix focused on stabilizing macOS support by addressing tree-sitter grammar dylib compatibility. The primary deliverable was correcting the macOS build for tree-sitter grammars by using the dylib extension and updating grammar build and linking to align with macOS shared library requirements. This change reduces macOS-specific build failures and improves editor compatibility for macOS users. No other major features shipped this month; the emphasis was on reliability and cross-platform compatibility.
