Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (2025-01) was a stabilization and modernization sprint for GDATASoftwareAG/vaas. The team tightened the testing surface, hardened the API boundary, and delivered targeted features that improve reliability, throughput, and developer productivity. Notable outcomes include a cleaned and more deterministic testing infrastructure, new timeout controls to prevent hangs, and added support for cached tokens to reduce authentication overhead. The project also advanced API usability and documentation, including per-method documentation and a streamlined IVAAS surface, while removing deprecated components to reduce surface area and maintenance cost. In parallel, several CI and packaging improvements accelerated feedback and CI stability.
