Feb 1, 2025

Monthly summary for 2025-02 focusing on business value, key features delivered, major bug fixes, and overall impact across two repos: taosdata/taos-connector-python and taosdata/TDengine. Cumulative efforts improved CI/CD reliability, developer onboarding, cross-language packaging, and runtime stability. Highlights include CI workflow modernization and bilingual documentation in the Python connector, dev-tooling enhancements for Poetry with-dev, CI environment cleanup for reproducible builds, and packaging/run-shell improvements for Taos WS/taospy. Critical TDengine integration fixes and CLI/test harness improvements contributed to more robust data tooling and better test coverage. Deliverables span from build system tweaks and documentation to runtime fixes, test infrastructure, and release readiness for taos-ws-py 0.3.9. Key achievements for the month: - CI/CD and documentation enhancements in taos-connector-python: renamed CI workflow file from test-ubuntu-2204.yml to build.yml and aligned Build section; added README.md and README-CN.md across docs to ensure bilingual, up-to-date project docs. - Dev tooling and packaging improvements: Poetry with-dev compatibility enabled to support older environments, improving local reproduction and packaging reliability. - CI reliability and environment stabilization: removed unnecessary apt installs and restored essential build tools to ensure stable builds across CI runs. - TDengine and Taos WS packaging/run-shell reliability: fixed TDengine branch handling in integration flow; split taospy and taos-ws-py run shells; installed taos-ws-py; and released taos-ws-py v0.3.9. - Quality, test infrastructure, and coverage: updated codecov/coverage links and paths; adjusted test configurations to reflect correct test scopes (e.g., taospy test cases), enhanced test harness with added utilities and scripts, and improved logging and output handling for reliable test results. - Additional bug fixes with business impact: offset boundary handling, taos_print_row export compatibility, CSV export behavior, and taosCli robustness improvements, contributing to more predictable, safe data tooling and easier maintenance.
