Month: 2025-12 — pimcore/pimcore. API hygiene and maintainability enhancements completed with a focused feature: BundleLocator API Deprecation and Cleanup. This work deprecates an unused method and an exception in the BundleLocator namespace and directs developers to use the new method, signaling future removal in the next major version. Committed as ac4dfce738dcb6913f12647249ecfe8db01aa07b, documenting the approach and enabling a clean migration path for downstream users. No user-facing features were released this month; the value lies in reduced technical debt, clearer API semantics, and a smoother upgrade path for customers and contributors. Technologies/skills demonstrated include PHP, BundleLocator API design, deprecation strategies, code cleanup, and maintainability-focused refactoring.
