March 2025: Focused on hardening the release pipeline, stabilizing Docker-based release steps, and addressing security/credential-related bugs in h2o-3. Delivered an isolated Docker cleanup context in the release pipeline, fixed Docker release copy permissions by decoupling resource copying from the main build and removing unused credentials, and upgraded mina-core to address a CVE with updated release notes for 3.46.0.7. These changes improved release reliability, reduced credential exposure, and reinforced security while keeping artifact cleanup fast and reproducible.
