Jul 1, 2026July 2026 highlights for macports/macports-ports: delivered a broad slate of port updates and stability improvements to keep core tooling current, compatible with modern Python and C++ toolchains, and aligned with upstream releases. Notable deliverables include Gnucash 5.16 upgrade with updated docs and restored embedded Python support; a build-stability fix for older libc++; a major IANA Enterprise Numbers data refresh; targeted packaging and dependency updates across tooling to improve security, performance, and compatibility; and enhanced build reliability for virt-viewer through SPICE/Python3 fixes and explicit optional-feature pinning. These changes reduce build failures, improve runtime stability, and enable teams to ship features confidently with supported dependencies.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 (macports/macports-ports) delivered a major expansion of the Ruby tooling ecosystem and a broad set of new ports, paired with targeted stability fixes and essential dependency updates. Key features delivered include the Copilot CLI port (v1.0.21) with subsequent updates to v1.0.24 and v1.0.27, plus multi-version updates reaching v1.0.28–v1.0.34; extensive Ruby portwork adding rb34 subports across multiple ports and introducing new ports such as rb-colorator, rb-terminal-table, rb-webrick, and jekyll, as well as supporting tooling like rb-sass-embedded, rb-jekyll-sass-converter, rb-jekyll-watch, rb-kramdown-parser-gfm, rb-rouge, rb-safe_yaml, rb-pathutil, rb-liquid, rb-mercenary, and related helpers. Additional new ports cover HTTP parsing and event utilities (rb-http_parser.rb, rb-em-websocket, rb-forwardable-extended, rb-listen), along with continued modernization (py-barcode, rb-jekyll-sitemap, and updates to pstoedit and latexmk). Major bugs fixed include Texlive-bin patchfile correction (Closes ticket 73770) and packaging/build hardening such as disabling a compilation warning for webkit2-gtk to fix the build, gwenhywfar5 whitespace cleanup, aqbanking5 dependency cleanup, and xindy size checksum addition. Overall impact and accomplishments: significantly broadens MacPorts coverage for Ruby tooling and developer workflows, improves build reliability, and accelerates access to newer tooling; demonstrates strong capabilities in port creation, dependency management, multi-version updates, and packaging hygiene. Technologies/skills demonstrated: porting and maintenance workflow, dependency graph management, multi-version software updates, patch and build hygiene, automated livecheck considerations, and robust packaging for a large-scale Ruby ecosystem.
