Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary: Delivered the Unmanaged cloud provider rename across the SimonRichardson/juju project, touching code, CLI, tests, and documentation. This breaking change requires users to update configurations referencing the old 'manual' provider to the new 'unmanaged' provider. The work improves consistency, maintainability, and sets the stage for future provider enhancements. Commit reference: 10e5070d572c92ef95164bb61594149060b5b6de.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 performance summary for SimonRichardson/juju: Delivered a refreshed documentation build pipeline with Excalidraw integration and Excalidraw-to-SVG tooling, along with targeted CI workflow improvements to accelerate docs generation. Strengthened CI/test reliability for docs and container tests by boosting observability (debug logging on timeouts) and stabilizing the test environment (specific channel/base pinning for PostgreSQL test app). These changes reduce flaky CI runs, improve maintainability, and enable faster, more predictable delivery of documentation and features.
