April 2025 (2025-04) — Business value and technical progress focused on expanding scripting flexibility in the ledger. Key achievement delivered: added Numscript runtime version selection for transactions by introducing a new API field 'runtime' to specify either 'interpreter' or 'machine' execution environments. This enables per-transaction control over execution context, improving flexibility, security options, and performance trade-offs for customers. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month. Overall impact: broadens use-cases for scripted transactions, aligns with the roadmap for configurable execution environments, and enhances developer and customer satisfaction through more precise control. Technologies/skills demonstrated: API design and versioned feature delivery, Git-backed collaboration, and careful feature ownership within the formancehq/ledger repo.
