During December 2024, David Mills enabled C++ compilation for the M1M3TS and MTVMS components in the lsst-ts/ts_xml repository by updating build system configurations. This work introduced cross-platform compatibility, particularly supporting Apple Silicon, and laid the groundwork for future performance improvements. David documented the new C++ runtime asset flags using reStructuredText, ensuring clear release notes and improved traceability. The technical approach focused on careful build-system changes and disciplined commit practices, with all updates delivered in two well-scoped commits. His work demonstrated proficiency in C++, XML, and build systems, addressing release readiness and maintainability for the ts_xml project.
