January 2026: Core delivery across dotCMS/core focused on user experience, stability, and developer velocity. Delivered a UI refresh of the Usage Dashboard with data refresh, improved loading and error states, local state management, and localization for the last updated timestamp; refactored DotUsageService for reuse and added unit tests. Resolved asset rendering and layout issues in Getting Started and Row components to ensure correct image loading and full-width backgrounds across React and Angular SDKs. Strengthened developer experience and build reliability by migrating to Nx/esbuild, enabling HMR, updating routing for modularity, and refreshing onboarding components and tooling (onboarding-author component, starter routes, and related config). These changes deliver measurable business value: faster feature iteration, more reliable dashboards, and clearer guidance for developers.
