Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for matsim-libs: Delivered significant performance, reliability, and CI improvements across the distributed simulation stack. Implemented a busy threadpool to boost throughput in distributed simulations with pausing and adjusted synchronization intervals, and enhanced the event handling flow. Added inheritance support for Events and optimized address-key handling using fastutils maps, with cache invalidation on handler changes. Updated compression defaults to zstd level 3 and extended test data handling with gzip to reduce test recreation and improve resilience. Fixed end-of-simulation messaging to ensure reliable final-state exchanges and improved CI artifact management for faster, more stable builds. Upgraded core tooling (Fury 15.0, fory formatting, FindBugs) and improved logging and test artifact reporting. Stabilized CI by addressing a flaky test and expanding artifact delivery.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Delivered foundational distributed data collection and scoring enhancements for matsim-libs, with substantial refactoring of distributed event handling, added regression tests, and groundwork for transit and carsharing scoring improvements. Also completed a code quality refactor in RouteUtils and advanced scoring/test infrastructure (including early work on Backpack scoring via Guice). Fixed a critical timing bug in SingleExecutor to ensure SimTime updates correctly and reinforced test coverage with new regression tests. These efforts yield better scalability, accuracy, and maintainability, enabling more realistic, distributed simulations and faster delivery cycles.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for matsim-libs. Key feature delivered: TransitRouterConfig: Warning rate limiting for subpopulations, implemented via a CountedLog mechanism that caps warnings at 10 occurrences for subpopulation-related logs. This reduces log spam when subpopulations are not fully supported and improves runtime observability. Commit: eb9c69fe4637a7fafdc3403bbc926653c4d945ad (Limit number of log messages for Subpopulations in TransitRouterConfig (#3962)).
