Dec 1, 2025Month: 2025-12 | Focus: Release engineering, security hardening, and packaging metadata for GetStream/stream-chat-react-native. Delivered a more robust release pipeline, tightened security, and clarified packaging metadata to support reliable distributions and faster go-to-market. Key highlights: - Release process stabilization and security hardening: Consolidated and hardened the release workflow by merging the next-release workflow into the release workflow, stabilized beta handling, and removed sensitive tokens from workflows to prevent exposure during the release process. - Semantic-release compatibility improvements: Improved semantic-release integration by aligning code to use the default export and ensure changelog extraction logic remains compatible with the release process. - Security hygiene in CI: Eliminated exposure vectors by removing npm tokens from CI tokens in release-related workflows. - Package metadata clarity: Added directory entries to repository fields in package.json for clearer packaging and distribution.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly focus centered on stabilizing media sharing on Android within GetStream/stream-chat-react-native. Implemented a memory-safe crash fix for large media sharing by using file paths instead of base64 conversion, added a user-facing loading indicator during sharing, and refined the image gallery padding to improve UX. These changes reduce memory pressure, prevent crashes, and enhance the end-to-end media sharing experience.
