Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Reliability and packaging hardening for michalmuskala/otp. Implemented robust TLS/SSL error handling with guaranteed shutdown on socket errors, corrected outgoing bind address binding for SSL/TLS sockets to improve connection reliability, and cleaned up the pre-built wx library package to ensure portable, build-stable releases. These changes reduce runtime failures, improve production stability, and streamline future releases.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Focused on improving TLS/DTLS socket reliability, build stability for the WX module, and robust socket lifecycle handling under downgrade scenarios. Delivered a TLS/DTLS socket buffering and asynchronous sending capability, fixed a WX Module Build and Graphics Loading issue that blocked compilation and proper loading of graphics components, and resolved an activation bug in the Socket Wrapper with improved error handling and a workaround for cancel requests during downgrades. Result: more reliable data transmission under load, faster and consistent builds, and improved stability of socket operations in production.
