February 2026

4 Commits • 3 Features

Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 focused on stabilizing test hooks, streamlining configuration, and clarifying service management in esl/MongooseIM. Implemented test hook stability to prevent automatic reloading during test runs, introduced a hook_helper module for managing hook handlers, and adjusted tests to align with new reload semantics. Added a dedicated ELP configuration file (.elp.toml) to simplify environment setup and dependency declarations, while temporarily disabling Eqwalizer due to excessive warnings. Refactored service management functions for clearer naming to improve readability and maintainability. These changes reduce test flakiness, simplify configuration, and prepare the codebase for future type-checking rule reviews.
