Mar 1, 2026

In March 2026, delivered a cross-language integration test suite for DNS resolution and TLS connectivity across the Rust core and all clients (Python async/sync, Node.js, and Go). The tests cover IPv4/IPv6 scenarios and both TLS-enabled and TLS-disabled paths, significantly improving reliability and security of networking functionality. This work reduces regression risk, accelerates feature validation, and strengthens CI feedback across the tech stack.
