June 2025 monthly summary for I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp. Delivered a new CTF correction phase protocol for 2D particles (XmippProtCTFCorrectPhase2D). The feature includes protocol integration, improved data loading via readSetOfParticles, and targeted code cleanup to enhance maintainability and reliability for downstream analyses. Completed protocol initialization wiring by adding to package init, and streamlined the codebase by removing deprecated helpers, unused utilities, and debug code. This work reduces ongoing maintenance, improves reproducibility of CTF corrections, and accelerates experimentation in 2D particle processing.

May 2025 monthly summary for I2PC/xmipp: Focused on reducing technical debt while preserving feature stability. Delivered targeted maintainability improvements and a dead-code cleanup, positioning the project for faster future iterations, easier onboarding, and more robust builds. This period emphasized clean code hygiene, documentation alignment, and clearer coding standards to support long-term velocity.

April 2025 performance highlights focused on advancing noise estimation capabilities and building a scalable, reliable imaging workflow across I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp and I2PC/xmipp. The work emphasizes improved data integrity, robust parallelization, and maintainable code for larger-scale experiments.

February 2025 monthly performance summary for code delivery and maintenance across I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp and I2PC/xmipp. Key features delivered: (1) Unified output naming for particle subtraction and boost operations in scipion-em-xmipp, enabling a single output stack and distinct data/metadata files; readSetOfParticles and CLI updated to reflect new output names (commit 1a21a662a3cc1fc4e3ca6786ed94c6c4504854d9). (2) Python bindings: added MDL_SUBTRACTION_B option label to xmipp bindings (commit ddbef4ebc67ce5fd6390696947224650b5661961). (3) Code cleanup in subtraction-related components: removed dead code, unused variables, simplified loops in ProgSubtomoSubtraction and subtract_projection, cleaned postProcess override, and updated output flags (commits cd5f406c4f27d6ba1b5272a308de8b586de11128, 45470a305c60ddb279a149b9d018d36ebc96f79a, 703adce185d112a55c640238b77377f0039ae0e7).

December 2024: Delivered cross-repo improvements to CTF handling in projection subtraction across I2PC/xmipp and I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp, introducing an ignoreCTF option to bypass CTF correction when appropriate. This reduces unnecessary CTF processing, accelerates workflows, and improves pipeline flexibility for particles already corrected. The changes unify CLI and protocol interfaces, and clean up debug logging related to CTF handling, enabling more deterministic behavior and easier maintenance.

November 2024 performance summary for I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp: Delivered flexible subtract projection workflow with new masking options, deprecated an unused protocol to reduce technical debt, and established SonarCloud scaffolding to strengthen code quality gates. The work improves projection flexibility, correctness, and maintainability while enabling automated quality checks across the codebase.
