July 2025 (2025-07) focused on reliability and flexibility in language detection for Prettier's Oxc/TypeScript parsing. Implemented a bug fix to honor the lang option instead of relying on fake filenames, and introduced a language-detection helper to determine language from file path and content, improving accuracy and flexibility for multi-language projects. Key commit: d49d64c280be069d608047dc9a8866b0f10c7e67 with message 'Use `lang` instead of fake file name in oxc parser (#17726)'.

June 2025 monthly performance highlights focused on reliability, parser compatibility, and smoother release cycles across core Prettier, ESLint ecosystem, and related plugins. Key features and tests expanded to reduce regression risk and accelerate user value, including new tests for bug #15463 and for the EditorConfig bug (#17503). Tooling and dependency modernization progressed with updates to Yarn (v4.9.2), Prettier (3.6.2), and linguist-languages (v8), plus server-side build/script refinements and removal of outdated utilities. Parser and plugin improvements broaden language compatibility and stability, highlighted by allowing plugin overrides of built-in parsers when inferring parsers, and Babel-TS/OX-TS const without initializer support, alongside an oxc parser behavior tweak. CI, release, and process enhancements were introduced to shorten feedback loops and improve release reliability, including switching the test runner to childProcess, reducing CI timeout-minutes to 15, and release-pipeline refinements; releases for plugins (oxc/hermes) were completed and publish configs added. Documentation and changelog updates were performed to improve discoverability and user guidance, complemented by a dedicated test snapshot enhancement for Babel parse errors.
