During December 2024, work centered on the rdmorganiser/rdmo repository, where the minimum supported Python version was raised to 3.9 by removing Python 3.8 compatibility. This update involved modifying CI/CD pipelines, adjusting project configuration files, and revising contribution guidelines to ensure alignment with the new runtime requirements. The changes, implemented using Python, YAML, and TOML, aimed to streamline maintenance and improve compatibility with modern dependencies. All updates were documented in the codebase, providing clear rationale for contributors and users. No bug fixes were recorded during this period, with efforts focused exclusively on this feature and related project infrastructure.
