July 2025 focused on stabilizing host tooling, reducing maintenance burden, and tightening capture/replay workflows in google/dive. Delivered CLI alignment for the Host CLI (renaming main file and standardizing help flag behavior), hardened DiveBlockData processing during replay, and improved GFXR capture retrieval reliability through better error handling and transfer flow. Completed deprecation of Perfetto tracing and the pydive Python package, eliminating legacy maintenance and build scripts. Collectively, these changes improve onboarding, reduce runtime incidents, and enable faster iteration on capture-driven analytics.
