Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (HPCC-Platform): Delivered targeted enhancements to Windows build reliability, release management, and signing pipelines. Key efforts include switching the libxml2 repository source to unblock Windows clients affected by the Anubis setup, establishing and managing release branches across 9.x and 10.x streams, and hardening the code signing process for uninstall artifacts and LN builds. In addition, the compileOptions precedence was refined to ensure user overrides apply after defaults, reducing build friction. These improvements enhance cross-platform stability, release traceability, and overall build integrity, enabling faster and safer deliveries to customers and partners.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Focused on stabilizing the HPCC-Platform baseline for 9.x/10.x releases while initiating UI modernization and tooling improvements. A React Activities prototype was introduced and later reverted to preserve existing UI compatibility; meanwhile, dependencies and UI scaffolding were modernized (React v18, Fluent UI v9, single-bundle Dojo). Release and versioning housekeeping matured the branching strategy for multiple 9.x/10.x streams. Documentation and dev tooling were strengthened (DevDocs tests, Vitepress fix, linting deprecation notices). Improvements to metrics and ECL/NUGet hygiene improved reliability and observability. The work delivers incremental business value through reduced maintenance risk, cleaner dependency handling, and improved path toward the 10.0 release.
