April 2025 monthly summary for the Skript repository (SkriptLang/Skript). Focused on release readiness and stability improvements. Key actions included preparing the 2.11.0-pre1 release by updating versioning in gradle.properties and aligning since/version tags across classes for accurate docs and feature tracking, and implementing a Config Node Ordering Stability Fix by reverting non-deterministic changes, restoring reliable node addition, and simplifying path calculation by adjusting getPathSteps and removing index bounds checks. Result: improved release quality, documentation accuracy, and config reliability, reducing risks prior to the 2.11.0-pre1 release.

March 2025 (2025-03) monthly summary for SkriptLang/Skript. Focused on improving correctness of polymorphic class comparisons and reducing edge-case failures in type handling. The primary deliverable was a fix to the default comparator to use ClassInfo from superclasses as a last-resort when direct class matches are not found, addressing reliability issues with polymorphic types. This change enhances consistency across class hierarchies and reduces runtime inconsistencies when comparisons involve polymorphic objects.

February 2025 (2025-02) focused on strengthening data integrity and release readiness for Skript. Delivered a robustness fix for date serialization by renaming the field from 'time' to 'timestamp' and adding backward compatibility to prevent data corruption, ensuring safer upgrades across versions. Prepared for the 2.10.1 release by bumping the version in gradle.properties (no functional changes), enabling smoother feature delivery in the next cycle. Overall, these efforts improve stability, reduce migration risk, and streamline build and release processes.
