April 2025 performance snapshot: Strengthened CI reliability, improved Gradle build robustness, and clarified module API exposure across smithy-java and smithy. Implementations include automated integration testing in CI, Gradle build cleanups for generated sources and duplicate handling, and an api-based dependency exposure change that clarifies API surfaces. Bug fixes in Gradle configuration prevent build failures and duplication, enabling faster feedback and safer downstream usage.

February 2025 monthly summary: Delivered user-facing improvements in Smithy Java with a naming upgrade for Lambda integration to 'lambda-endpoint', clarified integration paths for AWS Lambda. Implemented build-system enhancements to improve artifact publishing, including excluding smithy-cli from validation dependencies and ensuring sources and Javadoc jars are generated and published, with a fixed staging directory. Updated repository documentation to enforce HTTPS links in StringUtils Javadoc for security and consistency. Overall, these efforts boosted ease of use, release reliability, and security posture, while maintaining high code quality across two repositories.
