July 2025 focused on stability and resource management in SagerNet/quic-go. There were no new user-facing features delivered; the primary effort was a critical reliability improvement addressing a potential resource leak in the DialAddr path. The fix ensures the transport is closed when a dial attempt fails, mirroring the behavior of DialAddrEarly and preventing leaks.
