Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 monthly summary for PCSX2/pcsx2. Focused on stabilizing issue-tracking automation by reverting a previous change that added a 'type' field to issue templates, ensuring consistent classification across YAML files (app_bug_report.yaml, emu_bug_report.yaml, feature_request.yaml) and preserving existing automation workflows.

Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for PCSX2/pcsx2: Focused on enhancing IOP BIOS logging fidelity and memory safety. Delivered unsigned integer logging support in the IOP BIOS kprintf, enabling %u and %U formatting to improve visibility of unsigned values. Hardened buffer handling in IopBios to prevent overflows by capping snprintf output to the allocated buffer, avoiding deprecated unsafe carveouts, and eliminating risky temporary buffers. This work improves log visibility, stability, and code safety in the IOP path, reducing potential crashes and security exposure. All changes were implemented in the PCSX2/pcsx2 repository with clear commit traces.
