Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 (sass/dart-sass) focused on improving API clarity and stability by addressing deprecation handling. Implemented an API obsolete deprecation fix to ensure obsolete deprecations are excluded from API warnings and error messages, reducing noise and confusion for developers. The change aligns with all API surfaces and references commit 7af5122786598ea6866986979535022b8ff8839c (Mention obsolete deprecation fix in all API surfaces (#2683)). While no new user-facing features were released, the update enhances developer experience and API predictability, contributing to lower support burden and smoother migrations. Demonstrates strength in API design, deprecation strategy, and cross-surface consistency.

September 2025
