December 2025 highlights for casangi/xradio: Delivered XRADIO image schema evolution with v2, including metadata management enhancements, sky-coordinate support, and basic image accessors, plus a proposal notebook. Enhanced MSv2 to Processing Set conversion with a persistence_mode parameter to allow appending to processing sets, accompanied by a multi-file conversion notebook. Hardened image processing: fixed Zarr data store handling and added resilience when BEAM_FIT_PARAMS are missing. Completed release housekeeping and distribution readiness by updating versions and distribution URLs for PyPI/TestPyPI to reflect the latest release. Overall, these efforts improve data interoperability, pipeline robustness, and speed-to-production.”
