February 2026 monthly summary for NationalSecurityAgency/datawave focused on release readiness, stable test surfaces, and version discipline. Key efforts centered on aligning and consolidating release versioning across Maven POMs to reflect development iterations and upcoming releases (7.36.0-SNAPSHOT, 7.35.0 release, 7.35.1-SNAPSHOT). In parallel, we stabilized the testing stack by restoring PowerMock support in ingest core to re-enable static/constructor mocking in unit tests. To preserve test stability on Java 17, the Mockito upgrade was reverted due to compatibility constraints with Byte Buddy and other dependencies. The combination of improved version management and test reliability positions the project for smoother releases and faster iteration cycles.
