June 2025 monthly summary for Sia Foundation development across renterd and web. Focused on business value from migrating to a robust v2-based stack, improving reliability, and strengthening release tooling. Key deliveries include removal of deprecated RHP2/RHP3 clients, Go/coreutils updates, and the introduction of a changeset-driven release process, along with UI and startup workflow improvements. The month also prioritized test strategy alignment to v2, enhanced documentation, and targeted bug fixes to stabilize the system. Overall impact: cleaner architecture, reduced maintenance burden, faster feedback loops, and a solid foundation for continued v2 contract migration and governance. Key areas: - Renterd features: Removed deprecated RHP2/RHP3 clients; update coreutils; add changeset file; minimal interface; run tests only against v2; settings/go-version/test adjustments; contract migration groundwork (remove v1 contract formation, v2-focused renewal with rhp4); documentation updates and changelog contributions; startup sync trigger; improved error handling and regression tests; lint fixes and test coverage improvements. - Web features: Automated dependency maintenance with Dependabot config and cluster-wide dependency updates to streamline future updates.

Monthly summary for 2025-05: Focused on safety, reliability, and maintainability across renters and web. Delivered enforcement for V2 contract formation height cap with end-to-end tests and documentation; introduced Wallet Locked UTXOs management; completed comprehensive dependency and toolchain upgrades (Go, coreutils, hostd, quic-go) to maintain compatibility; refreshed cluster module dependencies in web for performance and security improvements. These changes reduce risk of contracts forming beyond network capacity, secure pending funds handling, and streamline build processes, delivering measurable business value through safer deployments and faster iteration cycles.
