February 2026 (2026-02): Delivered the Desktop Shell Toolkit Migration in terrapkg/packages by introducing noctalia-qs (QtQuick-based desktop shell toolkit) and removing the legacy quickshell toolkit. The migration introduces a more flexible, QtQuick-driven shell and reduces maintenance by deprecating the old toolkit and its configuration. Work is tracked via two commits: 46f852867cc150a485a2a04b3256ec379fd361d4 (add: noctalia-qs) and 496af3e9322f9c45165c7d4efcb3b170cdfa54d2 (rm: quickshell). No major bugs reported this month; emphasis on delivery, migration, and code hygiene for long-term maintainability.

February 2025 monthly summary for terrapkg/packages: Security hardening of package metadata links by migrating external resource URLs from HTTP to HTTPS in the xavs and vo-aacenc specs. Completed two focused commits to upgrade URLs, improving security posture and compliance with internal policies. No new features delivered this month; major bug fix focused on securing remote references. The work reduces risk of man-in-the-middle attacks and ensures future compatibility with secure resolvers.
