Sep 1, 2025September 2025: CI reliability improvements for arcaneframework/framework. Implemented a targeted temporary workaround to disable VTU tests on ARM64 CircleCI due to a libexpat XML reader bug in the XML dependency chain (libvtk9). This reduces flaky builds and speeds up feedback while maintaining project momentum. Tests will be re-enabled once upstream image (U26) resolves the issue.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered a cohesive set of CLI and configuration enhancements that reduce operator error, speed onboarding, and improve runtime performance. Key improvements include a generic help option for launcher utilities, a robust option replacement framework in core, and name/mesh-name replacement for MultiService options, all backed by tests. The ParameterCaseOption/API overhaul (new management classes, internal restructuring, and extensive test coverage) standardizes and simplifies command-line parameter handling. Additional fixes and optimizations improved reliability, performance, and documentation, while CI workflows and doxygen fixes accelerated feedback and release readiness.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Key reliability improvements to the Cartesian Mesh tests in arcaneframework/framework. Implemented a bug fix to disable null predecessor/successor checks in CartesianMeshTestUtils when using a single-cell layer, and added a dedicated test case (testCartesianMesh2D-3.arc) to exercise single-cell layouts. This work reduces false negatives, strengthens regression coverage, and enhances release confidence for 2D single-cell configurations. Commit 792b37c4bcb40bbe68ed0fa3b63730f8ad221a68 (arcane:tests) underpins the changes.
