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.
