April 2025 — ikmdev/komet: Delivered critical web launch reliability and Docker optimization for Komet web. Resolved the Concept Navigator panel loading issue on web launches, and streamlined image builds/runtime by switching to Azul/Zulu JDK in build and a JRE-headless runtime to cut image size and improve deployment speed. This work stabilizes web experiences and enables faster, more resource-efficient releases.

March 2025 performance summary for ikmdev/komet: Delivered deployment environment modernization, an export workflow bug fix, and UI consistency/stability improvements. Upgraded runtime to Java 23 in an Alpine-based Docker image and integrated JPro libraries via Alpine's package manager to improve compatibility and deployment efficiency. Fixed a duplication prompt when exporting files by updating dependencies and versioning to streamline the workflow. Implemented UI polish and reliability improvements by standardizing semantic windows, removing bottom insets, ensuring white backgrounds in top sections, and addressing a sporadic NPE in popover rendering. These changes reduce deployment time, improve user experience, and increase UI reliability across environments.

In Jan 2025, ikmdev/komet delivered two major UI-focused features that enhance user feedback, workflow scalability, and code maintainability. The Task Progress Notification Popup provides real-time progress updates for long-running operations, with ExportController utilizing the popup to show export progress and JournalController refactored to manage progress notifications; fonts were added for consistent styling. KLWorkspace introduces an Infinite Workspace UI as a custom JavaFX control, with workspace logic relocated from JournalController into a dedicated component, plus drop regions, skins, and CSS styling to enhance modularity and UI polish. No major bugs documented this month; stability improvements came from targeted refactors pair-programming and componentization.
