Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Delivered robust enhancements to the Logical Graph feature and memory-safety fixes in HPCC-Platform. Implemented conditional logical graph generation gating to avoid work when obfuscation is enabled, including an early exit if both obfuscateOutput and generateLogicalGraphOnly are true. Centralized cluster hopping checks via a new usingClusterHopping helper to improve maintainability and correctness. Fixed dependency rendering in the logical graph view by correcting dependencyAtom handling. Resolved a Coverity-identified use-after-free in mangleTemporaryFileName through proper initialization and scoping of the tail StringBuffer, improving stability and memory safety.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform: Implemented a new REGEXEXTRACT built-in ECL function with UTF-8/Unicode support to enable advanced substring extraction in data pipelines. Added a regression test for generic disk writes (genericwrite01.ecl) to validate correct write/read round-trips with FLAT: REVERSE(TRUE). Expanded encoding/test coverage to reduce regression risk across encodings and use cases, enhancing reliability and data processing robustness. Business value: stronger data transformation capabilities, safer deployments, and improved production stability. Technologies: ECL, UTF-8/Unicode handling, regression testing, test-driven development, code review.
