July 2025 focused on improving local testing visibility and release readiness for the Packit/packit repository by updating the CHANGELOG to clarify that TMT tests can be run and validated locally without creating a PR or release. This change lowers the barrier for developers to verify changes locally, speeding up feedback cycles and QA readiness. The update is low risk and well-documented in the changelog with a direct commit reference.
