October 2025: Focused on compatibility modernization and test reliability for planet-client-python. Delivered Python 3.10–3.14 compatibility across the codebase, CI/CD, docs, and project metadata, aligning with end-of-life for Python 3.9 and ensuring continued support for current Python environments. Stabilized the CLI orders wait command tests by adjusting the assertion to look for 'state: success', making CI outcomes robust to trailing newline variations. These changes reduce risk for customers upgrading Python versions, improve maintainability, and strengthen the credibility of the client in production environments.
