June 2026 monthly summary for bazel-central-registry. Delivered Bazel 9.x Build System Upgrade Across Modules across eight core modules (ccd, remotery, fcl, libuuid, ode, libzmq/cppzmq, dartsim, FreeImage). Removed deprecated compatibility_level usage, aligned build configurations and dependencies, enabling future Gazebo integration and cross-module consistency. This work reduces build failures under Bazel 9.x, improves maintainability, and establishes a solid foundation for downstream integration and CI pipelines.

April 2026 focused on strengthening the Bazel Central Registry's build system and code quality gates to support ROS 2 ecosystems via Bullet and Orocos KDL. Key outcomes include Bazel 9 compatibility for Bullet, integration of orocos-kdl@1.5.3 with new build configs and test scaffolding, and the introduction of core quality tooling (unit testing, static analysis, and formatting) to improve reliability and maintainability.

March 2026 monthly summary for bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry. Delivered major dependency upgrades and cross-platform reliability improvements with a focus on security, test quality, and consistent hashing behavior across Linux/Windows. Key changes include upgrading the FastDDS ecosystem (fastdds to 3.4.2 with security and statistics features, asio switched from boringssl to openssl) and elevating build/test quality with fastcdr presubmit tests; and a Windows integrity hash fix that normalizes path delimiters to as_posix across platforms.

February 2026 monthly summary for ros2_documentation focusing on Raspberry Pi guides. Delivered enhancements to the Raspberry Pi ROS 2 Installation Guide with explicit prerequisites, and completed documentation quality improvements including typo fixes and lint cleanup. The work was collaborative (co-authored by Christophe Bedard) and aligns Raspberry Pi install steps with ROS 2 binaries, reducing installation friction and support overhead.
